What are sex toys?
性玩具是一種主要用於促進性快感的物體或裝置,可供單獨使用或與伴侶一起使用。它們有多種形式,例如假陽具、人造陰道、振動器、肛門玩具、陰莖環或自慰器。
Many popular sex toys are designed to resemble human genitals and may be vibrating or non-vibrating. , to add functions such as vibration or suction. The term sex toys can also include BDSM.
Another type of sex toy that works for both men and women is toys used for erotic electrostimulation. Erotic electrostimulation refers to the act of using electricity for sexual stimulation. By the mid-1970s, medical transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) machines were widely available. These machines work by stimulating nerve endings with electricity, sending stimulation signals to the brain. Electrical stimulation is based on the same principle. When the brain receives stimulation signals from the genitals, it releases pleasure hormones.
General guidelines for using sex toys:
- Choose the right toy: Choose a toy that suits your preferences and experience level. For beginners, a smaller vibrator or non-threatening toy is a good place to start. Research the material—body-safe silicone is recommended—and make sure it comes from a reputable brand.
- Read the instructions: Each toy comes with specific guidelines. Check out how it works, whether it's waterproof, and what settings it offers. For electric toys, please charge or insert the batteries beforehand.
- Clean before use: Wash toys, especially new toys or toys that have been in storage, with mild soap and water or toy cleaner. Make sure it is dry before use to avoid irritation.
- Use lubricant: Use a water-based lubricant for comfort, especially with insertable toys. Avoid using silicone-based lubricants with silicone toys as it can degrade the material. Reapply as needed.
- Start slowly: If you are a beginner, explore the toy from the outside first. With vibrators, try different speeds or patterns on less sensitive areas before moving on to erogenous zones. With insertable toys, take it step by step and listen to how your body responds.
- Try setting: Many toys have multiple modes (e.g., pulse, level up). Test them out to find the one that feels best. Use alone or with a partner to enhance intimacy.
- be safe: Do not share toys that are not cleaned or protected with condoms to prevent infection. Avoid using anal toys without thoroughly cleaning your vagina. If you feel pain or discomfort, stop.
- Cleaning and storage after use: Wash toys thoroughly with soap and water or toy cleaner. Dry it completely and store it in a clean, dry place, preferably in a storage bag to protect it from dust or damage.
