General Guidelines
Before you pick out a toy, consider your needs and preferences. Do you have
trouble reaching orgasm during penetration? Do you consider yourself to be "clitoral"?
What shapes appeal to you? Do you find some sex toys silly? Do you have a color
preference? Do you know what materials you like most: silicone, jelly, rubber
or plastic? Do you want stay traditional or try something new and wild? Do you
want to use your toy alone or with a friend? There's no "right answer"
to any of these questions... whatever floats your boat is fine with us. However,
you'll have an easier time selecting your pocket pal if you give it some thought
before you try to buy. And always, always follow these rules:
- If you're going to insert anything anywhere, use lots of
lubrication.
- Always use a condom when sharing toys.
- If you plan to use your toy on more than one orifice between cleanings,
always use a condom. Your anus contains
bacteria that does not mix well with vaginal tissue or your mouth.
- Keep your toys clean.
- Store your toys in a cool, dry place.
Whichever toy you decide to try, let your desires be your guide. Don't let
other people's inhibitions bring you down. There is absolutely nothing wrong
with buying, owning and using sex toys! Whether you use your toys alone or with
a partner, you are enhancing your life and pumping up your sex drive. Furthermore,
you're keeping an open mind and trying something new, which is the key to lifelong
learning. So relax and enjoy yourself. Who knows? Perhaps some day you'll have
a whole treasure trove of titillating toys to tickle your fancy!
