Breaking the Taboo on Sex Toys

So you’ve been thinking that maybe you should try to spice up your sex life with toys, but aren’t sure whether or not doing so is right for you? Some of us might feel a bit weird about the whole thought; there is a bit of a stigma attached to people who use such things, as many view the use of sex toys as something belonging to the realm of perversion.

Well, let’s think about this for a second. Is it really a bad thing to try to make your sex life more interesting and fresh? Adding toys can revive a relationship that has been growing weak on the physical side as each party grows too familiar and begin to lose that ‘new’ interest that made the relationship so fun at first. As much as we like to think we are above such things, it is a fact that most people often find themselves growing bored with sex with their long-term partners, resulting in a loss of passion and often the cooling of the relationship as a whole. But with sex toys and other things around to keep things new and fresh, a relationship’s physical side can stay lively—meaning the relationship as a whole stays healthy and fun.

So sex toys aren’t inherently bad—but even for those who agree with that thought, the question of WHAT is allowed can vary greatly from person to person. Is it acceptable for a man to use toys? The stigma is that many associate such things with homosexuality. Ignoring the question of whether sexuality matters all that much, the fact remains that taking advantage of your bodies physical reactions to stimulus has nothing to do with sexuality; using a toy is something completely asexual, and any noteworthy sexuality found in the act of using them is totally dependent upon the genders of the people involved.

Finally, for a bit of a warning. The last thing anyone looking to buy a toy should consider is what you as a person are comfortable with. You aren’t going to enjoy a sex act that is completely grossing you or your partner out(usually). So don’t just get whatever is selling well; think about what you want to try, and discuss it with your partner. Find something the two(or more) of you can enjoy. Mild embarrassment is one thing; complete disgust is another.
