Why Buy A Sex Toy?

If you've made it this far, you're obviously curious about adult toys. It's no secret - here at A bit Naughty.com we just love adult toys. Not only are they great sources of pleasure but, as you'll soon learn, these toys can actually improve your sexual functioning.

Let's face it, the number one reason to buy an adult toy is for the intense pleasure they deliver. When you buy an adult toy, you can choose the toy that's perfectly suited to your sexual desires. Furthermore, once it arrives you'll be able to direct the pleasure tool perfectly. An adult toy gives the user complete control over the source of pleasure, often delivering the ultimate in sexual satisfaction.

Pleasure is not the only reason to purchase an adult toy. In fact, vibrators and dildos can be quite therapeutic. There are many women with orgasmic difficulty who may need the constant clitoral stimulation that only a vibrator can provide. In most texts on female orgasmic dysfunction, you'll find the authors recommend toys for self-exploration. Toys are also useful for those who may have decreased mobility due to health concerns. Toys offer sexual satisfaction without the strain that conventional sexual stimulation can bring.

So we ask you: Why not open the gateway to sexual exploration?

Why would someone use an anal toy?

This is one of the most asked questions here and we're determined to spread the word on anal toys. People are often apprehensive about anal toys, as they're made for a part of the body they may not have thought to explore. But for those men and women who have experienced anal stimulation in whatever form, anal toys offer a range of possibilities for pleasure unlike any other.

Truth be told, there are a collection of nerve endings associated with the natural workings of the rectum. When these nerve endings are stimulated in the right manner, the result is pure bliss.

In men, the rectum is a gateway to prostate massage. Massage of the prostate gland (which is the basis for the orgasmic sensation) is unbelievably exquisite. Anal play can be a wonderful addition to your sexual repertoire, provided you act responsibly.

Which one is right for me?

Shopping for anal toys can be a quite the task, particularly if this is your first time trying anal play. Only experienced buyers should attempt some of the larger items in our catalog. First timers are best to stick to the smaller items.

The type of stimulation desired is a major determinant in purchasing an anal toy. You'll have a few different types of anal toys to choose from, each with their own possibilities for pleasure.

About Butt Plugs.....

Plugs (used for masturbation and anal stimulation) often have ridges which further stimulate the nerves in the anus. When shopping for a plug make sure that it has a wide base which will not allow it to slip into your rectum. Carefully examine the shape and dimensions of the plug. There are some plugs which profess to follow the natural curve of your rectum but since each body is a bit different you may wish to avoid any plug that enters the body more than 5 inches. Try to find one that is made of a somewhat soft material that will bend while it is in your rectum. Silicone and jelly plugs are usually a good place to start.

About Anal Beads.....

These beads are inserted into the rectum and are then slowly removed. Shuddering waves of pleasure will wash over your body as each bead is pulled out of the opening. Some people enjoy having the beads removed at the point of climax. For men the stimulation of the prostate during orgasm can be extremely gratifying. When shopping for love beads make sure that the string connecting the beads is strong. Usually nylon cord is the best material for the beads. Most beads are made of plastic and may have rough edges on the surface. Use a nail file to file down any rough edges before use.

About Dildos......

Dildos are designed for vaginal or anal insertion. Dildos are made to give a sensation of fullness by filling the vagina or rectum area. Many People find this sensation to be highly pleasurable.

About Cock Rings..........

Cock Rings are used to restrict blood flow to the penis, wish creates sensations of tightness and pressure that many men find pleasurable. Some men find that wearing a cock ring can make erections firmer and longer-lasting.
Cock rings are usually worn at the base of the penis, behind the scrotum, and some men wear them around the shaft of the penis only. It is easier to put on a cock ring when the penis is flaccid or not fully erect. It is recommended that you wear cock rings for no longer than 20 minutes, or until it becomes uncomfortable.

For first time users, you may want to start with 5 to 10 minutes until you become comfortable and familiar with the various sensations cock rings produce.

Warning:
Do not use cock rings if you bleed easily or have a blood clothing disorder, if you are diabetic, or if you suffer from any peripheral vascular or nerve disease. Do not use if you are taking anticoagulants, aspirin, or any blood-thinning medication. Do not place over sore, swollen, or infected areas or areas without sensation.

About Dildo Harnesses...

Strange as it may seem, harnesses are being strapped on all around the country by people of all sexual orientations. Women wear them with women, women are wearing them with men, and men are wearing them with men. Strapping on a dildo is the ultimate highly-charged plaything. A woman, popping on a dildo, can feel everything from terribly embarrassed to supremely powerful. Dildo wearing shows a willingness to submit to a whole range of fantasies.

Harnesses can be worn and used by:

1. Two men

2. Two women

3. Women who would like the excitement of penetrating a male

4. Man wishing to penetrate a female when the penis is not erect

While strap-ons are toys commonly associated with lesbians and gays, half our harness sales are to heterosexual couples planning to explore anal intercourse with the woman as the active partner. Heterosexual and gay men also strap on dildos in order to penetrate their partners if they can't sustain an erection, to enjoy a method of penetration that is complete risk-free, to penetrate their partners while having their penises stroked, or to double-penetrate a female partner. What all couples, gay, lesbian, or straight, enjoy about the dildo harness is the variety and adventure they add to a sexual encounter.

The harness in any relationship is FUN and EXCITING !!!

	When you are wearing a dildo in a harness, the dildo rests against your pubic bone, higher on your body than a penis would be. This gives the wearer more control over the movement.
	Wearing a dildo in a harness will take practice and feedback from your partner as to what feels best. Feedback is crucial - you will feel pretty silly pumping back and forth, leaving your partner high and dry. Remember, you won't have the feeling of the real penis, so you won't necessarily be aware of the dildo not going where it's intended.

Have You Tried It??? Tell Me What You Think.....

About Vibrators...

Do What Feels Best

You can use your vibrator in any position that feels best. You can also stimulate any area of your body that enjoys it, although many women don't reach orgasm without some clitoral stimulation. Seldom is vaginal stimulation alone enough to achieve an orgasm. Most women claim there is a definite difference between a vibrator induced orgasm and an orgasm produced by other means. A vibrator orgasm is reported to be much more intense. It's not uncommon for women to have multiple orgasms while using a vibrator, especially after they become accustomed to what feels best for them and how to use the vibrator.

Should I Use a Special Clitoral Vibrator?

It's not necessary to purchase a special clitoral vibrator, although most of them are made for clitoral stimulation rather than vaginal use. Any vibrator that you can put in contact with the clitoris will work. Some of the butterfly type vibrators are made so that you can use them while having intercourse, or just to enjoy while wearing around the house in private.

What About The G-Spot Vibrators?

	Women have just recently discovered the enjoyment of stimulating their G-spot with a specially curved vibrator. The G-spot is a cushion of tissue wrapped around the urethra. Your urethral sponge may be stimulated through the front wall of your vagina in the same that a man's prostrate gland can be stimulated through the front wall of his anus.
	Every woman has this urethral sponge, but not all have the same enjoyable response to its stimulation. We encourage you to explore your G-spot and find out if this is for you.

Using Your Vibrator For Anal Stimulation

The anus is a very sensitive area of your body and many people, both men and women, have found that using a vibrator, usually a dildo-type vibrator, is extremely pleasurable. The most important thing is to use plenty of lubricant as the anus has no natural lubrication. Start by just touching and stroking the outside of the anus. When you feel you are ready, insert the vibrator, moving it in and out slowly. There are anal plugs made especially for this purpose, both vibrating models and non-vibrating. Most importantly, do not use the same vibrator for both vaginal and anal use and do not let other people use your vibrator for anal use. You could also use a condom on the vibrator if it was going to be used by your partner as well.

Why Should I Use A Vibrator At All?

	Many women have learned how to orgasm using a vibrator. Since consistent and intense stimulation of the clitoris is normally required for orgasm, a vibrator is a great simplification over a hand or tongue. In addition, people with disabilities often use vibrators, especially if their movement is impaired. This goes for arthritic persons also.
	Are you perfectly satisfied with the orgasms you achieve with your partner without the aid of a vibrator? That may be, but variety is the spice of life and you may find yourself coming more quickly and enjoying it more with the help of a vibrator! Not only will you enjoy it more, but so will your partner!

About The G-Spot........

The G-Spot is an area of spongy tissue surrounding a woman's urethra. It is located on the ceiling of the vagina. Some women can have orgasms with direct stimulation of this area. G-Spot stimulation may result in ejaculation of fluid through the urethra. This fluids is produce by glands located around the urethra.

About Lubricants...

In our increasingly liberal times, certain sexual health products are enjoying increased popularity, not as an occasional treat hauled out only when the moment is right, but rather as in important element of a healthy sexual relationship. One product in particular neatly falls into this category: the personal lubricant.

The wider range of available lubricants can be somewhat bewildering to the first-time consumer. Given that sex can come in many forms, it is important to choose a lubricant that best fits your needs.

Should I Buy A Lubricant?

Don't feel as if your natural lubrication is enough, particularly when using a larger dildo or vibrator. A lubricant is an enjoyable pleasure, just like a sunny day, good cup of coffee, or a great glass of wine. Women who have reached menopause or have just given birth will experience a loss of natural lubrication and a thinning of vaginal tissues because of reduced estrogen levels. Lubrication is a must when using anal plugs and vibrators.

Vaginal Penetration

This is one realm of sexual contact where some would think that no artificial lubrication is required. In many cases, this is true. Natural lubrication in the vagina usually occurs within 10 to 30 seconds of a woman becoming sexually aroused. However, some women experience a type of sexual dysfunction in which there is little or no mucus production, and penetrative sex can become uncomfortable or painful. Many more women experience the effects of "drying up", especially after a lengthy period of lovemaking.

That said, vaginal intercourse with the aid of a water-based lubricant can heighten sensation and eliminate discomfort. Astroglide is one such lubricant. Developed by NASA scientists, even a small amount of the stuff is extremely slippery and can make the lovemaking experience heavenly. It's slightly 'thicker' than water, sometimes necessitating repeated applications when it dries out. Oftentimes, however, the lubricating effect can be 'reactivated' by applying water with a spray bottle.

For those who demand a longer-lasting lubricant, the ID line of products offer a slightly thicker substance that does not dry out as quickly as Astroglide. There is also the ID Plus line of lubricants, which contains the spermicidal agent Nonoxynol-9. This can effectively improve protection against pregnancy when used with a condom. However, it is not recommended for use during oral sex due to its bitter taste.

All of our water-based lubricants, when used with a condom, can enhance sensation for men. Simply apply a small dab on the head of the penis before applying the condom, and you will invariably find the increased friction makes wearing a condom something to look forward to!

Anal Play

Please, we implore you: Do not attempt anal intercourse without the aid of a lubricant. The rectal membrane is quite thin and does not lubricate naturally, and thus can be damaged without sufficient preparation. And don't be sparing! "With anal sex, too much lubricant is almost enough." Astroglide and ID both work equally well, although with Astroglide you may require repeated applications during the course of lovemaking. ID will generally last longer during anal sex, but even still: liberally apply more than you think is necessary, top it off with a bit more for good measure, and you're ready to go!

Masturbation

Many men find that masturbation is vastly improved with the use of a personal lubricant. Circumcised men in particular may require a personal lubricant, as the skin of the penis is less motile. No two men masturbate in exactly the same way, however, and the appropriate lubricant is simply a matter of choice. Experiment with a variety of lubricants, both oil and water-based, until you find the one most desirable for you.

Adult Toys

Men and women both may find that the use of sex toys necessitates the use of a personal lubricant. You'll quickly discover that the outer shell of the many adult toys absorbs your natural lubrication making additional lubricant a must. Furthermore, sensation can be heightened if lubricants are used in conjunction with vibrators and dildos, for both penetration and exterior massage. With sex toys inserted into the anus, however, the use of lubricant is essential

What Are My Choices?

The first consideration is not to use oils or petroleum jelly. These products will stay, coating your vagina and anus for many days, leaving a prime environment for bacteria and yeast infections. Oils of all kinds will destroy latex condoms or diaphragms, so oils are totally incompatible with safe sex.

Water based lubricants are specially formulated to be non-staining and non-irritating. Many water-based lubes contain glycerin, a sweet byproduct of fats. This addition gives a slippery quality to the lube. If you will be having oral sex, don't purchase a lube with nonoxynol-9. The same is true if you have sensitive skin. Water-based lubes all have basically the same ingredients, their main difference is their consistency. Some people like their lube thicker, some like it thinner.

What About Nonoxynol-9?

Nonoxynol-9 is a type of detergent. This is added mostly as a safe sex precaution. These detergents have shown in laboratory tests, to kill viruses, including the HIV and herpes viruses. It's a common ingredient used in everything from baby wipes to contraceptive foams, but it can be irritating to sensitive skin. A lube with this ingredient is likely to have a medicinal flavor and may even briefly numb your tongue.
