Study Shows that Thin Isn't Necessarily In

It’s common for men and women alike to associate being sexy with being thin. According to a new study, however, this isn’t necessarily the case and a good portion of the world might be fooling themselves as to what people want.

The study, the basis for an upcoming book called A Billion Wicked Thoughts, was conducted by two neuroscientists, Ogi Ogas and Sai Gaddam. They took millions of pieces of information from web searches and other sources and coalesced them into a picture of what really turns people on. One of the things they discovered will likely come as a surprise to people who are obsessed about their weight.

When to Replace a Sex Toy

Sex toys are higher quality and better than they've ever been. That means that one might be around for many years, but there is a time when you do have to replace them. As long as you keep them clean, they’ll be worth every penny, but here are some other signs that you need a new sex toy.

Cracked or Flaked: If the exterior material is degrading, you need to replace the toy. Cracks and fissures can create places for bacteria and other organisms to grow and make it hard to clean the toy properly. They may also stop feeling good if they’re rough on the outside.

Storing Sex Toys

If you buy good sex toys, you need to store them right. Some toys can be destroyed by improper storage and some toys shouldn’t be brought into contact with one another. Here are some tips.

First, find out how the various materials used in the sex toys you have react to one another. For instance, silicone toys should not be touching other silicone toys when they’re in storage. Likewise, some forms of latex will melt if they’re brought into contact with leather, so be sure to keep them separated. Read up on what your toys are made of to learn more.

Second, consider the usages. Even though you clean—you should clean—all your toys before you store them, store them as if they were still dirty. For instance, anything used for anal penetration should not be stored in contact with anything used for vaginal penetration. Be sure you get all the lubricant off your toys, as well, as it might be good for one toy but destroy another toy.

If you read up on what your toys are made of, clean them well and store them somewhere safe and clean, your toys should last a very long time.

How to Choose Your First Sex Toys

What is the first sex toy you should buy? Well, the answer for this is different for everyone. Different people have different desires and wants. You might be looking for a solo toy, or you might be looking for something that you can use with a partner. The first thing you have to do is determine your likes and dislikes and that can help to narrow your selection.

In the beginning, it is generally a good idea to keep things relatively uncomplicated. You don’t need giant vibrators with a hundred different settings! Look for some vibrators, such as the rabbit vibrator. Look at the different options that are out there too, and do not choose the first one that you find. Always check the reviews if there are any so you can see what other people have to say about the product.

If you are buying a toy to use with someone else, you have to consider what both people want from it. You might want to try some bondage gear, even if it is as simple as some fuzzy handcuffs and a blindfold. Take your time to explore the options and find the items that are perfect for you.

How to Find and Choose Sex Toys

Those who have never shopped for a sex toy before are in for quite a surprise. The sheer volume and variety of options available is enough to make anyone’s jaw drop to the floor. With all of those choices, how can you possibly find the right sex toy? Well, what you have to do is answer a few questions to help you narrow your selection. You should also remember that no one ever said you could have just one! Buy a few and experiment.

When you are choosing one of your first toys though, you can focus your selection by looking at a few things. First, do you want something that takes batteries, such as a vibrator? Do you want a traditional dildo? Are you looking for a clitoral stimulator? What size would you like?

Once you can answer those questions, you can start looking at the different options and materials that are available. You might want plastic, metal, or even glass. Then, you can start looking at the aesthetics of the toys. Do you want something realistic looking? Toys come in a rainbow of colors as well.

It might take some time to find a perfect toy, but it will certainly be some fun shopping.

There Is No Place for Jealousy

When it comes to sex toys, one of the few things that could ever be considered an issue with them is the fact that they can actually make some people jealous. Men are the ones who fall prey to this mostly. They may feel intimidated by the idea of a sex toy their woman is using, and they might even feel as though the toy is somehow replacing them. At that point, jealousy comes slithering out of the cracks. This is a killer for any relationship.

What you have to do is help him to realize that you are not using the sex toys as a replacement. You are using them to accentuate the experience. Instead of having him sit on the sidelines and watch as you use it – although some men do like that – you could have him lend a hand so to speak. Make him a part of giving you that pleasure.

You also need to remember that it is not all about you. You could always surprise him with a sex toy that he could use, such as a Fleshlight.

By talking things through and helping him to understand that the toys should bring you closer together, it is often possible to squash jealousy before it gets a foothold.

When Your Vibrator No Longer Gets You Off

If you use the same vibrator over and over, you might find that you get a bit tolerant to it and it doesn't get you off like you used to. There’s great information out there about how to use a vibrator to get yourself off, and some that suggest that you can use one too much, but sometimes you might just need to change to a different model.

There are a lot more sophisticated vibrators on the market than they’re used to be. There are vibrators that look nothing like a penis and there are ones that look almost exactly like a penis. There are vibrators with multiple types of vibration available, at multiple speeds, which are very durable and long lasting.

If you've been using the same old vibrator for a long time, consider getting a new one if it’s not working for you anymore. You may actually find that it does again after you use something else. Remember that there are so many different types of vibrators that you can have more than one good one and use them both, so there’s no reason to feel like one sex toy should take care of all of your needs, every time. Options are not in short supply!

Expanding Your Sex Toy Arsenal

Sometimes, people discover sex toys and they can’t stop once they get going. There are many options out there, and here are some ways that you can add to your collection and what go consider when you do.

Consider whether you want a completely different toy or just a more advanced version of what you have.

Different attachments? Different power source? There are many options to try and you can be very specific in this regard.

Consider how much material plays into how a sex toy works, as well. For example, there are very lifelike materials available and there are ultra-modern materials, such as stainless steel. Experiment in this regard. You may find that something you would have passed on normally to be exactly what you’re looking for! The options in materials are astounding these days.

You can also consider whether you want the toy for a new form of play or for one you do all the time, and let that guide your choice.
