A sex toy is any object or
device that is primarily used in facilitating human
sexual pleasure. This term can also include BDSM
apparatuses, sex furniture, sex swings, fisting sling,
Bonkum, or angled cushions and shaped pillows. The most
popular sex toys are designed to resemble human genitals
and can be classified as vibrating or non-vibrating. Sex
toys usually do not include contraceptives, pornography,
or condoms.
A related "softer" term is adult toy.
Another related term is marital aid, often used as a
euphemism for sex toys, although marital aid is
broader as it can also be applied to drugs and herbs
marketed as supposedly enhancing or prolonging
sex.
Penile
toys
"Pocket pussies" or "vaginas"
or "masturbators" are modeled to accept a penis
for simulated intercourse. They can be shaped like
vaginas, anuses, or anything with a hole for
penetration.
Cock rings in their most basic
form enhance and prolong a man's erection by keeping
blood inside the penis. A man may wear a cock ring
because he has erectile difficulties, or because he
likes the particular sensation of tightness and
engorgement that wearing one provides. Some models
include a protruding clitoral stimulator, designed to
tickle the clitoris during sex. Others vibrate, either
vibrating the ring itself, or in a popular 'Dolphin'
variant using two removable bullet vibrators to provide
stimulation to the testicles and clitoris. Some cock
rings have vibrators attached which can be worn to
stimulate a partner during sexual intercourse,
especially in the scrotum or perineum.
A triple crown is a cock ring
that has additional rings for restraining the testicles.
In orgasm, the testicles usually retract towards the
body before ejaculation. A triple crown changes and
intensifies the sensation of orgasm by forcing the
testicles to stay away from the body.
A cock harness is a more
elaborate harness designed to be worn around the penis
and scrotum. Its intention is similar to that of a cock
ring. Often associated with BDSM activities such as cock
and ball torture.
A ball lock is an ordinary
padlock fastened around the male scrotum, separating the
testicles away from the penis and not removable except
by key or combination.
A penis sleeve is a
cylindrical device that is placed on the shaft of the
penis, with the aim of increasing stimulation for the
person being penetrated. They often have soft bumps
intended to provide further stimulation.
A hand teddy is a miniature
piece of women's lingerie that is worn on the dominant
hand.
A penis extension is a
partially hollow device like a very short dildo, with
the hollow end placed on the end of the penis, intended
to increase the effective length of the penis, again for
the benefit of the person being penetrated. These are
generally worn with condoms to prevent them from falling
off during use.
A docking sleeve is a
cylindrical device similar to a penis sleeve, but is
open at both ends, so that two men can dock.
Penetrative stimulation
The rabbit vibrator of which
there are 100s of variations is without doubt the most
popular ladies sex toy in the world popularized by the
television series Sex and the City. It comprises of an
insertable shaft which often has additional
functionality, such as rotation and internal beads or a
thrusting action. Attached to the shaft is a vibrating
clitoral stimulator. For most rabbit vibrators this
comes in the form of "bunny ears" which sit either side
of the clitoris.
A dildo is a non-vibrating
device which is used for sexual stimulation of the
vagina and/or anus. Godemiche is an old word for
a dildo in the shape of a penis and scrotum.
A double-ended dildo is a
long, usually flexible dildo with both ends designed for
penetration. It allows for mutual penetration between
two persons.
Vibrators are vibrating
devices intended to stimulate the nerves of the body.
Vibrators intended for sexual use are often
dildo-shaped, although they also come in a wide range of
shapes and sizes, allowing internal as well as external
use. Vibrators Usually Measure 5 to 7 inches in length
and 1 inch wide to mimic the size of an actual penis.
Vibrators to be used for anal stimulation are typically
smaller.
Ben Wa balls are hollow metal
balls, are inserted vaginally, and can be worn inside
the vagina for extended periods of time. The internal
rolling is said to enhance orgasms, and enable women
with vaginal difficulties to reach orgasm
Kegel exercisers, also known
as vaginal barbells, are designed to improve muscle tone
in the pelvic floor, and can be used for sexual pleasure
as well as enhancing vaginal response.
Glass sex toys are becoming
common. These are made from Pyrex glass that provide a
very strong solid object. Glass dildos are commonly used
with lubrication because this combination offers very
low resistance.
Sex Toy
Material
Silicone is soft and lifelike,
warms up quickly to body temperature, non-porous
therefore easy to clean (with mild soap and water, or
boiled for sterilization). The
are made to absorb heat, freezing, and warm up to body
temperatures. They are the most versatile toys for
people with sensitive skin. They come in many differ
lengths, girths, and assorted
colors.
Cyber skin, also known
under other brand names, is currently the closest
emulation of real skin. This relatively new material is
made of silicone and plastic. It is very porous, making
it necessary to clean it very thoroughly (with
antibacterial soap and water) it is then highly
recommended that you dust the toy with with cornstarch
to keep it from getting tacky.
Jelly is a cheaper,
rubber-based material, quite porous, often translucent.
It is sometimes scented to mask its strong rubber odor.
Jelly
toys are very soft to the touch and resemble the feeling
of an erect shaft. They are made from a plastic called
PVC. Jelly toys are ease to care for with simple
solution of hot water and a mild soap. They come in many
different length, girths and assorted colors. More often
the not a jelly sex toy is usually a dong ( which
doesn't vibrate).
Pyrex
or sometimes called "glass toys" are made from an
industrial grade Pyrex. These toys are becoming very
popular. Not only are they a great sex toy, buy some of
them can be like pieces of art work. Glass toys have a
great advantage over others because they can get really
slick during use. They can be cleaned and maintained
with hot water and a mild
soap.

Safe sex (also called safer sex or
protected sex) is a set of practices that are designed
to reduce the risk of infection during sexual
intercourse to avoid developing sexually transmitted
diseases (STDs). Conversely, unsafe sex refers to
engaging in sexual intercourse without the use of any
barrier contraception or other preventive measures
against STDs.
Safe sex practices became prominent
in the late 1980s as a result of the AIDS epidemic. From
the viewpoint of society, safer sex can be regarded as a
harm reduction strategy. Safe sex is about risk
reduction, not complete risk elimination.
Although safe sex practices can be
used as a form of family planning, the term refers to
efforts made to prevent infection rather than
conception. Many effective forms of contraception do not
offer protection against STIs.
Recently, and mostly within Canada
and the United States, the use of the term safer sex
rather than safe sex has gained greater use by health
workers, with the realization the grounds that risk of
transmission of sexually transmitted infections in
various sexual activities is a continuum rather than a
simple dichotomy between risky and safe. However, in
most other countries, including the United Kingdom and
Australia, the term safe sex is still mainly used by sex
educators. Because these terms are virtually synonymous
with each other, they will be used interchangeably
throughout this article.
Much attention has focused on
controlling HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, through the
use of condoms, but each STI presents a different
predicament. However, sex educators recommend that some
form of barrier protection as a harm reduction measure
should be used for all sexual activities which might
potentially result in the exchange of body
fluids.
Horsehair
Horsehair
requires a little special care: We recommend you wash
the hair when it becomes dull or dirty. Use any good
liquid dish soap and warm to hot water. The hair is not
that fragile and doesn't require fancy soap. For
floggers keep the handle dry! Squish the soapsuds
through the hair with your hands. Rinse well and blot
dry with towel, then hang to air dry. We recommend
applying "Cowboy Magic" shine and de-tangler, available
at many tack and feed stores. Follow label directions.
Use a pin brush or wide-toothed comb on the hair. Comb
gently in short strokes, working from hair-tip to
handle-end in small sections, and ease apart tangles
with your fingers as you comb; don't force the comb or
brush. Be gentle but firm, like you would with your own
hair. Tangles will pull apart easiest if you pull the
hair along the plane of it's length, rather than just
pulling apart sideways. Regular brushing keeps overall
maintenance down and takes only a few minutes. During
transport, cover the hair with a long, toeless sock or
fabric tube, or braid the hair and put on a
rubber
Rabbit
Do not
put your item in a plastic bag. This will create
moisture and lead to mold. If your fur gets wet, shake
it out and allow it to air dry. Do not use a blow dryer
this will result in your item shrinking. Give your item
plenty of room to breath, do not pile it in with the
rest of your toys, instead set it aside where air can
circulate around it. Do not leave it
in your car. A hot vehicle will also cause your rabbit
to mold and shrink. If serious
problems or extreme wetness, contact a Cleaner, to have
your item cleaned.
Basic Toy Care
back
to top
Water-Based Lubricants work best with
most toys. Never use Vaseline or petroleum jelly
on a toy it will break down the material of your
toy.
Condoms can be used over any toy. This helps
keep the fluids away from your toy. It also helps ensure
safety if you are going to share your
toys.
After use, spray a toy cleaner such
as Safe Suds on the toy or wash/wipe down your vibrator
with warm, soapy water, rinse and air dry. Be careful
not to get the mechanical parts wet, or your vibe will
become a paperweight.
Remember that Water safe
does not mean Waterproof. To be on the safe side
anything without batteries, is always safe for the
tub!
Take batteries out of your Vibe after you
are done using it. This will prolong the life of your
toy and your batteries.
Silicone Toys need to be
stored in a plastic bag. Cyberskin is best air-dried. If
that isn't possible just get it as dry as you can with a
cloth, and then dust the toy with cornstarch so it will
maintain its smooth surface.
Care of Your
Leather/Suede Gear
DO NOT STORE ANY OF YOUR ITEMS IN A
PLASTIC BAG
Care of Your
Suede flogger
Suede should never be
cleaned with detergents and the like and should never be
treated with leather conditioners. If the nap of the
suede becomes matted or shiny use a suede stone (as
indicated by manufacturers instructions.) to buff the
stain out. Suede stones are available at most leather
supply stores and most stores that sell leather
clothing. A stiff brush would also be acceptable, used
lightly. Suede is also more susceptible to wear and may
fray at the tips, a periodic trimming will correct the
problem. Even with this, the flogger should last for
years.
Care of Your leather
item
Cleaning your leather item from
time to time is important as perspiration, body fluids
and lubes will dry out your leather and cause it to
crack, and (in some cases) rot the leather. To clean
your leather items use a mild solution of Ivory soap and
warm water and, if you would like, you can add a couple
drops of bleach. Wash the item with a cloth. Don't
saturate the toy. Hang the item and air-dry. Never use
heat on your leather items. If you find you need to add
some oils back into your leather you can use a product
called Lexol. Follow the directions on the bottle. You
can buy this at most better shoe repair
shops.
MISCELLANEOUS
Care of Your horsehair

Horsehair requires a little
special care: We recommend you wash the hair when it

During transport, cover the hair with a long, toeless
sock or fabric tube, or braid the hair and put on a
rubber band.
Care of Your aluminum
item
Over time aluminum will loose its
luster. Usually you can get the shine back by cleaning
it with an SOS pad or fine steel wool NO WATER. If more
thorough cleaning is required use a penetrating oil to
clean aluminum, then wipe off thoroughly as penetrating
oil will irritate the skin, finally buff with steel wool
if needed. In worst cases you can use detergents and
water, but be sure to dry thoroughly and then clean
again with penetrating oil as above
Care of Your Rabbit Fur
Item
Do not put your item in a plastic
bag. This will create moisture and lead to mold. If your
fur gets wet, shake it out and allow it to air dry. Do
not use a blow dryer this will result in your item
shrinking. Give your item plenty of room to breath, do
not pile it in with the rest of your toys, instead set
it aside where air can circulate around it. Do not leave
it in your car. A hot vehicle will also cause your
rabbit to mold and shrink. If serious problems or
extreme wetness, contact a Cleaner, to have your item
cleaned.
Liquid
Latex
Before
you begin a few words of
caution:
Many people are
allergic to latex. If you have a KNOWN allergy to latex,
rubber products or ammonia products then DO NOT USE
Liquid Latex. Allergies can form at ANY time of your
life; therefore before EVERY application of latex do a
patch test. Apply a small amount on the inner forearm.
Leave the latex on for approximately 15 minutes and then
remove. In our experience, most allergic individuals
will begin to react to the latex within 5 minutes with a
burning or itching sensation. If this happens then
remove the latex immediately with plenty of soap and
water. If all seems well then check the area 24 hours
later, so be sure to plan ahead. If there is a rash or
itchiness, do NOT use. A patch test MUST be done before
each application.
Care of your
liquid latex:
As soon as you open
your new container of liquid latex you will notice the
smell. Ammonia! As soon as the air hits it, it will
start to thicken, within a few hours it will form a
rubbery top coating and become lumpy. To prevent this,
when using the product, be sure to keep mixing it, do
not allow it to sit idle for long periods of
time.
Once you are done with your latex, any
remaining liquid latex should be stored in the original
container. We also recommend placing a piece of HEAVY
(we actually use a heavy clear freezer bag) plastic over
the top of the latex before sealing the container shut.
If stored properly latex should last until your next
play venture. Liquid Latex has a shelf life of
approximately 1 year.
