How to choose your first sex toy: the ultimate guide from ADULTDREAMS

Choosing Your First Sex Toy

Choosing your first sex toy can be an exciting yet overwhelming experience. There are many different types of sex toys, and the right one for you depends on your preferences, needs, and comfort level. Here are some steps to help you select your first sex toy:

1. Consider What You’re Looking For

   • Self-pleasure or Partner Play: Do you want to use the toy alone or with a partner?
   • Type of Stimulation: Do you prefer external (e.g., clitoral, penile) or internal (e.g., vaginal, anal) stimulation?
   • Goal: Are you looking for a toy for orgasm, relaxing massages, or perhaps for BDSM play?

2. Familiarize Yourself with Different Types of Sex Toys

   • Vibrators: For both external and internal stimulation, available in many shapes and sizes.
   • Dildos: Realistic or non-realistic shapes for vaginal or anal penetration, often without vibration.
   • Anal Toys: Specifically designed for anal pleasure, like butt plugs or prostate massagers.
   • Kegel Balls: For pelvic floor exercises that can also provide stimulation.
   • Cock Rings: Support erections and prolong orgasms.
   • Masturbators: Devices for stimulating the penis, such as pocket vaginas or fleshlights.

3. Choosing the Right Material

   • Silicone: Soft, body-safe, and easy to clean.
   • Hard Plastic: Sturdier and can transmit stronger vibrations.
   • Jelly, Rubber: Often cheaper but may contain harmful phthalates.
   • Glass or Metal: Non-porous, easy to clean, and can provide unique temperature effects.

4. Size and Shape

   • Beginners: If you’re new, start with smaller and simpler designs.
   • Advanced: Once comfortable, experiment with different shapes and sizes.

5. Noise Level and Discretion

   • Noise Level: Some toys are louder than others. If discretion is important, choose a quieter toy.
   • Discreet Storage: Consider where you’ll store the toy and if it’s easy to hide.

6. Ease of Use

   • Choose a toy that is easy to operate, especially if it’s your first. It should not have complicated settings.

7. Batteries or Rechargeable?

   • Battery-Operated: Generally cheaper, but batteries need to be replaced.
   • Rechargeable: More convenient and often longer-lasting, but usually more expensive.

8. Read Reviews and Seek Advice

   • Look at reviews or ask friends who have experience for recommendations.

9. Hygiene and Care

   • Choose a toy that is easy to clean. A good sex toy cleaner is important.
   • Always use the right type of lubricant: silicone-based lubricants are not suitable for silicone toys.

10. Trust Your Feelings

• Your first toy should make you feel safe and not induce fear or discomfort. It’s okay to start small and experiment more later.

It’s important that you feel comfortable with your choice and take the time to find out what you enjoy the most.
