The past year has been strange…to say the least. COVID, job instability and the state of political affairs have affected the last two years, yet one thing remains (happily) the same. We need sexual release and boy do people love sex toys.
The stats agree with us too. Most likely due to social isolation and quarantine, sex toy sales are up the roof, averaging a 30% increase in the last year. Not only are seasoned users getting new toys, but newbies are diving into the wonderful world of vibrators, head first! But why exactly do you need a new (or your first) sex toy?
Well first off, sex toys are for everyone. If you are in a relationship, single or just mingling around, sex toys are to be used by all, no matter the stage of your life. There is something to be said about doing something JUST FOR YOU. It is, at the end of the day, self-care. Sexual releases are important for physical and emotional health, and sex toys are known for increasing the intensity and duration of that release.
What to think about when buying your new sex toy?
Ask yourself a few questions before buying your new toy. Everyone and every-body is different. What works for one person, may not work for the next so get to know your freaky little self first and figure out what you like!
Do You Like Internal Stimulation?
If you have never had a sex toy before, ask yourself this. Have you ever cum from only internal digital (your own finger or someone else's) or your partner entering you? If so, you may be looking for a sex toy that inserts and something with particular curvature to reach your g-spot.
Do You Like External Stimulation?
Most women need clitoral stimulation in order to orgasm, we call this external stimulation. If you are part of this group, look for a toy that can target this specific area. Great options are bullets, oral stimulators and toys offering suction.
Are You A Mix Em’ Up Type?
Now, this is my type of jam. Some women (me included) need a little bit of everything to find the perfect toy. This can be a mix of any of the three stimulations: internal, external and anal. There are toys that mix and match these three categories. Rabbits, triple vibrators and double-ended dildos just might be the right fit for you.
