sex toys

Anal toys—and anal beads in particular—are often dubbed advanced sex toys, but the category itself is not off-limits to those new to the wonderful world of sex toys.

A partner telling you not to use toys is engaging in controlling behavior. You have agency over your own sexuality.

Butt plugs do exactly what they say: they plug a bumhole because it can feel good.

Beginner-friendly and intuitive, strokers can help people reimagine masturbation or manual sex with a partner, adding textures, sensations, and sometimes vibrations.

Bullet vibrators are shaped like a baby carrot. Portable, petite, and discreet, bullets are great for first-time sex toy users and those who enjoy gentler stimulation.

Suction toys use pulses of air and gentle air pressure changes to stimulate nerve-dense areas without actually touching them directly. They create a sucking or throbbing sensation that can feel like oral sex.

Pinpoint sex toys prove that with pleasure products, more or bigger isn’t always better. Unlike wand and palm vibrations, which transmit sensation to a wide surface area, these toys excel at targeting one, tiny, nerve-dense spot. For those who enjoy ultra-exact external stimulation, they’re a great…

Easily recognized for their bulbous head and long handle, wand vibrators have been bringing magic, and sensation, to people of all ages since 1968.

There’s a lot of hype around orgasms, and they are an amazing part of sex for many people — but if you haven’t had an orgasm yet, that’s okay, too. And who could blame you when nobody really teaches us how to orgasm? Here are a few things to do if you want to start exploring your orgasmic potential.

If you have chronic pelvic pain, what do you do if you want to get sexual with yourself or someone else? If it starts hurting, should you stop?
