All about the Sex Toys

Why Use a Sex Toy?

They used to be called "marital aides". Holy assumptions, batman. Who the hell says I'm married, using this with another person, or need it to "help" my poor ass get off? Maybe... just maybe it's for... dare I say it?... fun?

OH SWEET JESUS. Fun. No no no, not in this work-a-day world, where our enjoyment comes from movies, videogames, and a feeling of superiority!

As far as I'm concerned, that's why they're called toys now, not marital aides. And what does one do with a toy? Well, play, of course! Sex toys are an excellent way to make being sexual fun, easier, and for anyone a little bored with it all, a little more interesting. So much of our play as children was erotic (doctor, anyone?) and when we stopped playing, we stopped a lot of the journey into sexual exploration. Soon it became the same old-same old, "kiss, then boobies, then oral, then penetrative, then sleep" kind of heterosexual chore. Boo. Boo for boring!

And oh my, what a range of toys there are out there! Dildos, butt plugs, vibrators for every single part of your body, clamps, suctions, strap-ons, ropes (for those who especially loved the tie-up/kidnap games of childhood) cuffs, paddles, lingerie (aka - playing dress-up), erotica (bedtime stories!), actual games and so much stuff to play with you'll end up like a kid at Christmas. There are so many sex toys out there that are comparable to childhood toys that it's obvious that we were not meant to lose our sense of playfulness, but only to move some of it from the rumpus room to the bedroom. Or hell, keep it in the rumpus room if you want, just make sure the kids aren't home.





All these toys I've mentioned, and more (lube, fisting, the best way for anal play, vibrators 101, silicone, etc., etc.) will be talked about in turn. Next time: "Oh my god there are a lot of vibrators out there - how the hell do I pick one?!?!?"
