The variety of adult toys is surprising. Sex toys vary from purely male or purely female sex toys to toys which you can use by both sexes. There are also some sex toys that may also be classified as sex aids or marital aids.
The Purpose Of Sex Toys
Some sex toys aid the man’s erection, stimulate the female genitals to become more sensitive or give a different feel to ‘normal’ sex. Other sex toys provide an ‘environment’ for variations in sex, for example so called orgy bed sheets. Sometimes they are used to help a person who has difficulty with unaided sex to accomplish sexual satisfaction. However most adult toys provide a new way to directly stimulate the male or female genitals to accomplish sexual satisfaction.
Using sex toys can offer new experiences and variation in the sexual experience. Additionally, it may provide a fantasy element for enhancing or revitalising a relationship.
The usual expectation is a masturbator provides direct stimulation of the genitals in foreplay and/or during sexual intercourse or as a means to obtain orgasm through only the stimulation supplied by the sex toy.

Vibrating Sex Toys
Probably the most well known sex toys are ‘vibrators’ which, because the name suggests, provide stimulation of the genitals using vibration. They are mainly utilized to stimulate the clitoris, but could also be used to stimulate any other area of the female body or that of a man’s.
The simplest of these are pencil or wand shaped (though normally thicker than a pencil). They often have an interior battery (or two) which powers a small electric motor. Sometimes the battery pack and controller are external and linked to the vibrator by way of a wire. This motor is fitted with a small, out of balance, weight attached to the shaft. As this weight rotates it throws the motor and vibrator right into a small circular movement which causes the vibration you feel.
With a vibrator which has a controller, because the power is increased the speed of the motor increases sufficient reason for it both the rate and strength of vibration. Both the strength and rate of vibration effects how stimulating you discover the sex toy. The very best effect will not be as strong so when fast as you possibly can. The optimum settings may well change as your amount of excitement builds. To get the very best results it is worth buying a vibrator which is controllable.
Different vibrators will have different characteristics and you’ll well find you like one combination much more than another and your preference may even vary based on which part of your system you are stimulating.
More recently electronic vibrator controllers have appeared which provide not only the static control of power/speed but also enable you to select patterns of power pulses and surges. These can be quite effective.
Additionally, there are other vibrating sex toys such as for example butterfly stimulators and vibrating penis rings.
Other Powered Sex Toys
There are some adult toys that use other ways to supply mechanical stimulation. These usually be determined by a motor which makes the masturbator continually change its shape which provides a sort of rotational movement or makes it move back and forth. The back and forth movements are sometimes powered by an air pump rather than motor. The movements have been used to create, for example, mechanical licking tongues, vibrators that ‘penetrate’ the vagina and mouth simulators to provide a guy a ‘blow job’.
On a bigger scale and much more expensive, you can find ‘sex machines’ that incorporate thrusting and vibrating dildos.
Combination Sex Toys
So far we have covered vibrating, moving and thrusting sex toys. Because you can have guessed they are all offered in a bewildering selection of combinations.
A common combination in many ‘Rabbit Style’ vibrators is clitoral stimulation using vibrations and vaginal stimulation using movement and sometimes a thrusting motion aswell.
Many adult toys add varying textures with their surfaces; a dildo or vibrator may have ridges or soft spikes or a rippled shape.
Sensation Change Sex Toys
Some sex toys instead of provide vibrating or moving stimulation, change the feel of sex.
For instance there are a variety of sleeves to put over the penis to provide different sensations for both partners while engaged in penetrative sex.
There are rings that squeeze the bottom of the penis and/or tighten the scrotum that assist the man’s erection and in addition changes his sensations. There are penis extenders and thickeners which may give a man’s partner greater sensations during penetration.
There are a wide variety of lubricants that may significantly change the feel of sex.
There are PVC and Polyurethane bed linens that are water and oil proof that can be used for slippery or messy sex.
Why Use A Sex Toy?
A good question is: why do people work with a sex toy? Surely fingers, tongues, penises, clitorises and vaginas etc all provide great sexual stimulation and enjoyment.
Well, apart from therapeutic uses (eg erection assistance), sex toys can drive the imagination (being taken by way of a machine), provide variety (new methods to do old things), vary the stimulating effects in otherwise normal sex (penis sleeves) and some can provide experiences extremely hard with ‘normal body parts’ (particularly vibrating sex toys and electro-stimulation).
Where To Start
When you have not tried a masturbator before and don’t yet have an idea of what you might like, try one of many simpler vibrators first. Most probably you will benefit from the experience and then start to wonder what other delights can be found with more sophisticated vibrators and other sex toys …
