What are Sex Toys?

A sex toy is an object that is used to masturbate or to increase the pleasure of sex with a partner. There are many types and some of the most common are:

• Vibrators: they are objects that vibrate or move continuously to stimulate your genitals. It is very common for people to use them to stimulate their clitoris and other parts of their vulva and vagina. They also serve to stimulate the penis, scrotum and testicles, nipples, and anus. There are vibrators of many shapes and sizes. Some can be used to insert into the vagina or anus, and others are used on the outside of the body.
  
• Dildos or dildos: they are objects that are introduced in the vagina, the anus or the mouth. They come in many shapes and sizes, but they are usually shaped like a penis. They can also have a slightly curved shape to help stimulate your G-spot or prostate.
  
  
• Anal toys : they are specifically made to stimulate and/or introduce into the anus. They include: butt plugs, anal beads or balls, prostate massagers, and wide-based dildos. To use them safely, you need to use lubricant. It's very important that any toy you use in your anus has a wide base (meaning it's wider at the bottom), or some way to get it out, so it doesn't accidentally slip in, because it can get stuck and need medical help. to get it out.
  
• Masturbation sleeves or sleeves for the penis (“stroker” in English): they are soft tubes where the man inserts the penis. There are many shapes, sizes and textures to provide greater sensation. Some even vibrate and suck.
  
  
• Rings for the penis : they are put around the scrotum and/or penis, so that blood circulation is slower when the penis is erect. This can cause you to have more sensation, or the penis to stay firm and erect for longer. They are made of soft, flexible materials like silicone and are easy to remove. Some penis rings have small vibrators to stimulate a partner. It is not recommended to use for more than 10 to 30 minutes because they restrict circulation.
  
  
• Vacuum pumps : they are devices similar to a vacuum cleaner that have a pump that works manually or with batteries, to suck the penis, clitoris, vulva or nipples. They get blood to that part of the body and that helps increase sensation and sensitivity in that area. Some people also like the sucking sensation. Penis pumps can help you get an erection, but they don't permanently make your penis bigger.
  
  
• Chinese balls (also called Ben Wa balls, geisha balls, Kegel balls, vaginal spheres): these are round objects that you insert into your vagina, they can help a woman perform Kegel exercises, or many women just like the feeling to have them inside the vagina.
  
  
• Penis sheaths (“packers”): These are items that look and feel like a real penis (usually soft) and that create a penis-like “bulge” in the underwear. Some can be worn folded down or extended out so they can be seen as a penis and can also be used for sex.
  
  
• Sexual harnesses (called "strap-on" in English): is a garment that when put on holds a penis sheath, dildo or other sex toy against your body. Some are used as underwear or as jockstraps (the protective underpants worn by athletes). There are others that can be used on other parts of the body, such as your thigh.
