Sexual devices of all kinds have been around
since the recording of time. It has been said that Cleopatra herself
used to keep a box of bees next to her bed for the soft buzzing
vibration.
There are literally thousands of sexual devices
ranging from simple lubricants and massage oils to full blown
realistic lovers, created with everything from wood and stone
to synthetic fibers and metal.
And regardless whether you use sexual toys for
solo pleasure, to enhance lovemaking, or as a means to overcome
physical or emotional boundaries, there is certainly something
for everyone. Certain taboos have been placed on the use of sexual
aids of any sort and in fact some states, countries, and religions
ban the use or distribution of these devices. Therefore, most
collections of these seemingly harmless devices are locked away
hidden or stowed under beds, mattresses, closets, or other secret
compartments.
There are several schools of thought on owning
sexual toys involving both sides: why people have them, and why
people don't.
Why people do not buy or use sex toys:
- It is embarrassing
- It is against the law/religion
- Partner might feel left out or inadequate
- Partner would like them more than themselves
- Not easily available
- Takes away from lovemaking experience
- Just not natural
- It is taboo; connected with porn industry;
just not acceptable
- If found out, I would be labeled for life;
others would just not understand
- What would partner say or think
Why people buy and use sex toys:
- Don't have a partner; used for self satisfaction
- To aid physical limitations
- For trips away from partner; cure loneliness;
avoid infidelity
- Enhance foreplay/lovemaking
- Aid in fantasy/fetishes
- To aid partners unable to achieve orgasm during
lovemaking
- To help explore sexual boundaries
- Get over sexual limitations, emotionally and
physically
- To get acquainted with or learn sexual techniques
Tips for those who do not buy or use sex toys:
- Those who believe that these devices are
against the law* or that their religion would not condone them
most likely will always feel that way. There is nothing at all
wrong with this way of thinking. These people are usually set
in their ways and are not easily persuaded to change. They usually
fall into two categories: those who uphold the law and religion
regardless of anything, and those who use law and religion to
hide behind to save embarrassment or to save face in the public
eye. The latter may someday come to change their minds but it
would be a close-guarded secret and generally even their partner
would not know.
- For the people that are worried about their
partner's thoughts and feelings this is perfectly understandable;
however, chances are that your partner may
have interest in the same. There are many books, videos, and
publications for partners that aid in talking about sex to your
partner. With anything sexual, an open, honest relationship
is needed. Once you feel that you can communicate with your
partner, open up the discussion regarding sex toys; you may
be surprised.

'Adult Novelty' shops and used to be the only source for such
items. You would have to risk being seen coming or going into
such a place. The Internet and mail order have brought everything
to your doorstep with discreet billing and fast delivery; your
