Why You Shouldn't Be Scared of Adult Toys
Remnants of the free love generation have thankfully survived
and in recent years a sexual revival has resurged in the
American psyche and bedroom. This time, however, the
participants are a bit wiser and more sophisticated in their
sexual exploration. As a result sex toys, once limited to the
margins of society, have come full circle and are now in the
mainstream of American living. Individuals and couples who had
never before tried sex toys are now doing so for the first time.
And yet, there still remains some who are scared of introducing
sex toys into their life.
This fear comes in large part from a misunderstanding about the
uses and ramifications of sex toys. They imagine that sex toys
are limited to extreme versions of fetishism or that somehow sex
toys are a means of separating you from your partner. These two
conclusions cannot be farther from the truth.
With the recent explosion in the popular usage of sex toys,
manufacturers have created a wide array of products designed to
meet the needs and interests of everyone. While certainly there
exists a wide array of S & M products on the market today which
those interested in find extremely fun, there also exist a
number of products designed for the novice user.
The sex toy industry is completely aware of the desire for many
individuals to keep their toys discrete. As a result, a number
of products have been designed with that end in mind. Vibrators
that look exactly like lipstick containers and lotions and
lubricants which are described with terms like 'relaxation'
rather than more explicit sexual terminology come to mind. The
discrete design and packaging of sexual toys allows even the
shyest of individuals to feel comfortable.
With fears allayed as to the nature of sex toys, the next
question is about their effects on an existing relationship.
Whereas in decades past sex toys were largely limited to single
individuals or those focused on a particular area of sex,
normally labeled fetishism, recently sex toys have been brought
into millions of couples bedrooms. Sex toys can be a new and
exciting way to spice up sex between a couple who has been
together for some time. It can also be an excellent way for
couples to explore new areas to find that something works better
for them. In effect, sex toys, rather than creating division
between couples, are often a source which brings them together
in new and exciting romantic situations.
