More often than not, we’re given the freedom of choice – a seemingly endless amount of choice, tbh.
Fancy white chocolate mousse for dessert? Sure. Do you like platform heels that have two buckles instead of one? Done! Are you dissatisfied with your mobile phone provider? Well, chances are, their competition is right next door, ready to grab your hard-earned money.
But not all things are created equal. For example, choosing to buy the family-sized box of cereal as opposed to the multi-pack is in no way comparable to choosing a sleek and seductive sex toy. The two are simply incomparable.
And while making choices can be difficult for some, we’ve made the process of choosing and buying your next sex toy, pretty simple. Ready? Let’s have fun…
What is a Sex Toy?
A sex toy is an object or device that’s used to gain sexual pleasure.
There are many different kinds of sex toys, some resembling male or female genitalia, some electronic with the ability to vibrate, some for insertion, some for stimulation, a few that can be used as props in the bedroom, and so on and so forth.
History of The Sex Toy
How did we wind up here, with an array of delectable sex toys and erotically-charged items up for grabs? Well, it wasn’t always so.
Here’s a not-so-boring timeline on the history of the sex toy.
Siltstone Dildos: This is the oldest form of sex toy that we know of, and was used some 32,000 years ago! But in an odd twist, they were also used as chipping flints. Eesh!
Rubber Sleeves: Then, in the 18th and 19th century, Spanish and French sailors began carrying something they liked the call, “Ladies of the Journey,” whist at sea. These were rubber sleeves made for self-pleasure.
Steam-Powered Vibrators: During the 1860’s, the steam-powered vibrator was devised, but only implemented in doctor’s offices. They were used as a means to help women with hysteria. Yep, hysteria!
Battery-Powered Vibrators: These nifty vibrators came about in the 1870’s, but were nothing like what we know them to be today. Their batteries were massive, like that of a car battery. Awkward.
Vibrators Outside of the Doctor’s Office: As time evolved, so did the use of the vibrator. And between 1890 and 1910, these sex toys were available for purchase outside of the doctor’s office. It was also around this time that these devices were used in pornographic channels, which is when doctors stepped aside swiftly and stopped using them.
Health and Wellness: In 1928, the vibrator took on a different role and was marketed for women who wanted to lose weight… *scratches head*
The Magic Wand: In 1945, the magic wand reared its head, becoming known to U.S. military men who were stationed in Japan.
The Silicone Dildo: Move over G.I. Joe, we’ve got a new soldier who deserves more recognition… that is, G.I. Duncan. In the 1970’s, this creative and award-deserving man invented the silicone dildo for his wife.
LELO in the Spotlight: In June 2011, LELO invented the INEZ, a 24-karat gold vibrator . A toy marketed “for women who demanded the ultimate in luxurious indulgence.”
Popular Representation of Sex Toys in the Mainstream Media: Today, we’re looking at novels, films, and TV shows with the appearance of sex toys. The novel, 50 Shades of Grey was brought out in 2011 and the film in 2015, which increased awareness, debate, and consumption of BDSM sex toys and props .
And now that we know all about the sexy evolution of the sex toy, let’s take a closer look at the different kinds we can find today…
Different Kinds of Sex Toys
Whichever brand of sex toy or sex shop you prefer, these delicious items are driven by human sexuality, and they’re made with an important thing in mind: to get you off!
So, the more you know, the easier it’ll be to choose a sex toy for him, her, or both, that suits your needs, and gives you the most pleasure. Find your muse…
Sex Toys for Women
SONA and SONA Cruise : The SONA and SONA Cruise are similar in nature in that they both stimulate 75 percent more of the clitoris. It uses sonic waves and pulses instead of vibrations, has eight different settings, is waterproof, and is a heck of a lot quieter than your average sex toy.
What’s the difference between the SONA and the SONA CRUISE ? Well, the SONA CRUISE has something called the SONA Cruise Control that reserves 20 percent of its full power during normal use. That means that, when the power drops, you’ll have an extra 20 percent unleashed as not to compromise its power and intensity.
SORAYA : For the girl who wants it all, the SORAYA gives one pleasure on the inside and out – that is, clitoral and G-spot stimulation at the same time. It’s the rabbit vibrator, redefined.
GIGI 2 : This is for women who want to stimulate their G-spot. It’s a curved device with a flattened tip, making it an easy-to-reach sex toy with near-silent vibrations. But there’s more to the GIGI 2 than what meets the eye! This nifty device doubles up as a clitoral stimulator when flipped. Yay for double fun!
INA Wave : This contraption uses simultaneous vibration to give one a blended climax. The INA Wave rabbit vibrator mimics the ‘come-hither’ motion, massaging the G-spot with powerful vibrations. Who needs fingers when you have this little number?
