3 Things to consider before you buy a male sex toy

Sex toys have been around in one form or another for centuries but they are becoming evermore popular in today’s society. Often referred to as marital aids, sex toys help enhance sexual pleasure for couples and for solo use & for those who want to buy a male sex toy, read on.

A recent study conducted by the Temptations Direct website, illustrate that the number of men and women purchasing sex toys is a fairly evenly split with 52% women and 48% men.

If you are man new to sex toys and want to try them out for the first time to heighten your sexual satisfaction, increase performance and spice up your bedroom activities but are unsure of what sort of toy to buy, see here.

What type of adult toy should I begin with?

Which sex toys to start with is one of the first things to consider when thinking about the potential purchase of adult toys.

Sex toys come in many different guises: dildos, cock rings, anal adult toys, male and female sex pumps, sex dolls, strap-ons and vibrators to name but a few, however if you want to experience a penetrative sex toy for the first time it is a good idea to try something that has some level of flexibility such as a fleshlight.

Non penetrative adult toys such as penis rings that are made of silicon or rubber have some give in them and can help to sustain an erection which is fuller and firmer that can lead to increased sexual gratification for both parties.

These penis rings have far more flexibility than rigid metal cock rings, which force considerable restriction to the wearer.

1. Size and cost matters

Other important factors to consider are size and cost.  Start small and work up to a bigger adult toy when you have more experience. Female mini vibrators and some of the men’s fleshlights can deliver wondrous orgasms and are also small enough to be a travel companion.

Decent fleshlights are generally cheaper than decent vibrators for the simple reason that a vibrator requires a motor, unless you are drawn towards an auto-blowjob machine. You generally won’t need to spend more than $50 on a quality pleasure toy but always check girth and length of device prior to buying a male adult sex toy.

However, don’t scrimp. Male adult toys on the big commercial sites like eBay and Amazon can fall under $20 which would suggest the material is not up to scratch.

2. Use sexual lubricants

If you are a beginner to penetrative sex toys it is advisable to use a sex lube.

This is specially important in the use of anal toys  as neither the anus nor the rectum naturally cause their own lubrication so it is imperative that anal lubrication is used for more fun time pursuits as a reputable anal gel or sprays applied to the tissues surrounding the anus will relax the muscles, making penetration considerably easier.

Anal finger stimulators are ideal for beginners to anal play as not only are they small and inexpensive but they are often made of soft silicone making penetration far more comfortable plus silicone can be sterilized. Avoid PVC products as they cannot be cleansed.

3. Sex toy cleaners

On purchasing your pleasure aid you should also contemplate buying a sex toy cleaner. Cheap to buy, this additional item should be applied immediately after use to keep it clean.

Safe, effective and ant-bacterial, adult toy cleaners help to prevent the spread of germs and bacteria and will help your sex toy last much longer.

Sex dolls for example, will ideally come with a removeable orifice but inexpensive ones may not so getting in there with a recommended sex toy cleaning product is like washing oil paint off your hands with white spirit as opposed to under the tap.
