Why Buy Sex Toys?

Pleasure

In a society where sexual pleasure and guilt are associated, it's not surprising that sex toys have gotten a bad rap just for being themselves. It goes without saying that sex toys are best enjoyed with no guilt attached. They require no justification; sex toys are pleasure for pleasure's sake. They offer us a unique opportunity to explore our bodies in new and exciting ways. You'll no doubt discover more about sexual desire and probably discover a few new erogenous zones as well. Sex toys are simply a gateway to pleasure.

Fantasy

For those of us in monogamous relationships, it's often difficult to explore our sexual fantasies. Being faithful is more important than living out your deepest desires. Toys give us the opportunity to indulge our fantasies in a completely safe environment. In this sense, sex toys can be an extremely helpful addition to any loving relationship. It's nearly impossible for one person to satisfy every facet of another's desire. Sex toys can help by providing a new element to your sexual ritual without the complications of the actual realization of your fantasies.

Inspiration

An uninspired performance in the bedroom can be a real strain on your relationship. With the daily stresses of life, sex can often take a back seat to more pressing matters. Whether it's families or careers, our lives are busier than ever and intimacy often feels the squeeze. So why not introduce something a little risqué to the proceedings? Sex toys give couples a chance to explore each other and have a light-hearted laugh along the way. Adult toys are a wonderful way to spice up your sex life.

Sexual Health

Sex toys are good for you! There are some interesting and well-documented health benefits associated with the use of sex toys.

During menopause, most women experience some thinning of the vaginal wall. Studies indicate that the regular use of a dildo can help maintain vaginal tone.

Women who have trouble reaching orgasm can also benefit from the use of sex toys. Many leading experts on the subject recommend the use of a vibrator to help overcome orgasmic difficulty.

Common Myths

Myth #1: My partner wants to use sex toys. I must be sexually inadequate.

Whenever buying (or considering buying) a sex toy, it's a good idea to consider the feelings of your partner. Discussing sex toys with your partner before introducing them into your sex lives is not only respectful, but in many cases quite necessary. Many people assume that sex toys are purchased to fulfill some sort of sexual inadequacy. This is most often not the case. Discuss your reasons for buying a sex toy with your partner; it's usually necessary to prevent any hurt feelings.

Most people buy sex toys because they're an enjoyable way to explore new possibilities. It's fun to explore sexual potential whether alone or with a partner.

Myth #2: I'll get addicted to sex toys and won't be able to reach orgasm without them.

There's a very human propensity to become familiar with a particular form of stimulation. Whether it's cunnilingus from your partner, or vaginal penetration from your dildo, there are some forms of stimulation you count on to get you off. You can become addicted to your vibrator just as easily as you become addicted to a particular practice with your partner. It can happen, but you are not helpless to control and change it. Experiment with new positions, new toys, and new activities. Keep trying new things and you'll never be sexually dependent on any one particular practice.

Myth #3: Using a vibrator will cause damage to my genitals.

There's absolutely no physiological basis for such an argument. Vibrators can occasionally make genitals feel numb during or immediately after use but the sensitivity will always return. Experiment with different forms of stimulation during sex play to decrease any numbing effects.

You can pick up your passion prop at your local sex shop. Or, if you want to be a little more private about your purchase, you'll find plenty of well-stocked online boutiques (like pinktrickle.com ) that list items with pictures, descriptions, and specifics about cleaning and storage. 

Some playthings pointers: Read the instructions before using. Avoid materials that may give you an allergic reaction (e.g., latex), and wash your toy with antibacterial soap and hot water before and after use and let it dry completely. If your carnal contraption is made of a porous substance (like jelly rubber or cyberskin, which are harder to clean than nonporous products like silicone), or you want to use your toy vaginally after using it for anal action, cover it with a condom each time it's used to make sure it's clean.

How To Buy Her A Sex Toy

Silicon, rubber, metal, or glass

You don’t want to go overboard with the first sex toy; keep this one simple, subtle and functional. Silicon and rubber have the most life-like feel to them and are always a good choice. They are also very safe, and warm up under a hot tap easily.

Metal is a bad choice because it is quite cold to start off with, though its firmness may be the selling point. Metal can look quite attractive too, and since sex toys aren’t the most gorgeous things on earth, it’s a plus if they’re not ugly.There are some very beautiful glass dildos available. Glass offers a very smooth sensation, and can be cooled or heated to give her some variety. Opting for the "Joe-blow average" toy is your best bet. Stick to the basics. If in doubt, go with silicon. Silicon is neither too soft nor too hard and is durable and hygienic, making it an excellent choice for sex toys. 

Quality vs. cost

Don’t scrimp and save on this toy because you want quality. Having a toy not work or fall to bits at the crucial moment is going to make you look like a cheapie — a mortal sin in chick-talk! 

Presenting it to her

There are a number of ways to do this. If you want it to be a surprise gift, the classiest thing you can do is have it wrapped and posted straight to her with a sexy note. If you want to use it with her, you could put it under the pillow and give it to her on the spur of the moment, though this approach could have negative consequences if, for some reason, she has a problem with your purchase.  If you have any doubt about the reception you will receive, opt for the safety of the shore: Warn her, and give it to her in a non-sexual situation so she doesn’t feel pressured or uncomfortable. Make it funny or sexy — in other words, make it special in some way. It is highly likely that upon receiving your thoughtful and sexy gift, she will not be able to stop smiling and giggling.  

She'll turn it on and get turned on

Buying your girlfriend a sex toy doesn’t have to be a traumatizing experience. Finding a good shop, whether online or downtown, makes life a lot easier: The staff will be educated, the packaging will be discreet and the toy will go the distance and handle the punishment dished out to it. It takes balls for a man to buy his woman a sex toy without her input, so give yourself a pat on the back for being so brave and courageous — and let her enjoy the fruits of your labor.

Orgasms For Your Health

Did you know just how healthy your orgasm really is?

Since this month is both ‘Womens Health’ and ‘Masturbation’ month, we thought it would be a great time to list just how healthy the female orgasm really is. 

Check out our top 5 reasons on why your orgasm is amazing for your health, whether you go solo or with a partner!

1. Better sleep and less stress Giving yourself the bliss of an orgasm before bedtime, doesn’t just create waves of pleasure for you (and your partner), it also tells your cozy-feeling hormones (namely endorphins) to come out and release their sedative effect.

2. Pain relief and migraine cures Orgasms’ good vibrations release ‘analgesia’ in your body; a natural pain suppressant. The most natural way for a women to reduce any body aches or pains is through the automatic relief of the female orgasm.

3. Stay in shape, protect your heart and connect with your partner The ‘oxytocin’ flush brought on by an orgasm not only reduces stress and lowers blood pressure levels, it also increases empathy and communication. Your orgasm is a sexy way to burn calories, keep your heart happy and improve your relationship.

4. Naturally fight infections, cold and flu Have an “O” and those cold and flu bugs get up and go. Well not quite, but a woman's orgasm does have the power to reduce the risks of pesky colds and flu by up to 20%.

5. Look younger with healthier skin The sexiest way to feel great, and look 10 years younger, is to make love three times a week (or more!) with someone you feel amazing about! During orgasm the ADHE level increases which also enhances healthy skin.

Vibrators 101: What to know about everyone's favorite sex toy.

Vibrators 101: What to know about everyone's favorite sex toy.

Some are called rabbits. Others? Elephants. There are plenty of words to describe the battery-powered pleasure centers that are tucked in bedside drawers everywhere, but they're best known by one word: vibrators.

Every woman should have a vibrator handy, but sadly such is not the case. Perhaps it's a lack of knowledge about the power—literally and figuratively—of these sex toys. To catch everyone up to speed, we've assembled five things that every woman needs to know about her should-be best friend.

1. Vibrators are good for you. Sure, they help you orgasm without requiring the pesky presence of a male, but "good for you" also relates to health. Studies have shown that women who use vibrators are more likely to have had their annual gynecological exam than women who don't use them. So, essentially, as you're giving yourself the gift of clitoral stimulation, you're also more mindful of your vaginal health. That's a win-win in our book.

2. Dudes don't hate them. Contrary to popular belief, vibrators don't intimidate men. Maybe not every guy will be showering his girlfriend with gift-wrapped Pink Elephants, but studies show that overall men are A-OK with women using vibrators. In fact, many agree they are a healthy part of a woman's sex life.

3. You've got to believe! Having confidence in the power of your battery-powered friend can do wonders. In one research study, women who had positive beliefs regarding their vibrators—and had used them within the previous 30 days—reported higher levels of sexual satisfaction. That means more arousal, lubrication and better orgasms.

4. They can get dirty. No, we aren't talking the kinky kind of dirty; we're talking the "need to be cleaned" kind. Think about where that vibrator has been and then think about the last time you gave it a good wipe down. Sorry if we're grossing you out, it's just the truth, ladies. There is such a thing as sex toy cleaner, but for those of us not looking for high-end help, soap will do just fine. In general, just wet a cloth with warm, soapy water and wipe off your toy (just avoid the battery compartment and control area).

5. They have a shelf life. A nice, expensive vibrator will last you a good, long while—but not forever. The cheaper ones will last for about one year if used semi regularly. And, if a vibe is made with a jelly or rubber, it absolutely must be tossed after one year, no matter how much it cost. Such materials harbor bacteria so keeping them longer than a year is bad news for lady parts. The good news is that more high-end vibrators often come with warranties, so if something breaks (perhaps from overuse?) replacement is possible.

Guest Blog Review Of Waterproof Wallbanger Deluxe by @TrinaWitch

Welcome to my first guest post on Pinktrickle's  blog. I am a long time fan of her sex toy website, it never fails to arouse me every time I visit, and I follow her on twitter @pinktrickle .

I volunteered to test drive  Waterproof Wallbanger Deluxe and review it.





First, in case I didn't say it already... a big THANK YOU to Pinktrickle!!!!

OK, a couple of downsides: 
1) no on off switch, so if you want to use it in the tub & you don't live alone, make sure everyone else is busy...
2) no adjustable speed....

Despite those two downsides, it was absolutely a joy to play with! 


I'm falling in love with these flexible, softer types of vibrators for sure! The shaft was very comfortable, it could even be a bit bigger for me, but that's just my opinion :) 


I'm usually a 4-5 time a day girl and sometimes it does take a bit to get me off, but the first time with this little pink pleasure was fabulous, I may have lasted 2 whole minutes! 


Very very enjoyable. Definitely a keeper :) Perfect for a beginner or sex toy novice.
