It’s no secret that many women have multiple orgasms. Masters and Johnson documented this occurrence more than 25 years ago. But, do they serve a purpose besides from a pleasurable one? Theories suggest that muscular contractions associated with orgasms pull sperm from the vagina to the cervix, where the sperm can then swim their way to the fallopian tubes to reach the egg. Researchers believe that if a woman climaxes up until 45 minutes after her lover ejaculates, she will retain significantly more sperm than she does after non-orgasmic sex.

We will talk more about multiple orgasms later.

According to this article from Forbes there are many benefits of orgasm and sex. You have an improved sense of smell, reduced risk of heart disease, weight loss (sex is exercise after all), reduced depression, pain relief, a better immune system, better teeth, a happy prostate, and better bladder control.
In a study in 2001 a study found that having sex three or more times a week, men reduced their risk of heart attack or stroke by half. You can burn up to 200 calories which is about as much as running on the treadmill for about 15 minutes.

Product Usage Guidelines
Never insert any product to the point that it cannot be easily controlled and removed. If you lose a toy in your vagina most often you can just straddle a toilet and relax your muscles ~ coughing or sneezing will help expel a toy from the vagina. If you lose a toy in the anus you MUST visit the ER for removal.

Always clean sex toys before and after use, never sharing toys if not cleaned before hand and never putting anything into the vagina after it’s been in the anus (unless you use a condom and remove the condom before inserting into the vagina). Easy tip: Keep vaginal toys and anal toys separate and use only in those areas.

Make sure you don’t use a silicone lube with a silicone toy. It will melt and fuse together!

If pain or discomfort occurs during toys use, stop immediately.

Do not use toys on broken or irritated skin.

Do not store your vibrator with the batteries in it. The batteries may corrode and damage your toy.

Never use your electric or battery-powered vibrator in water unless it was specified “waterproof.”

Water may damage the motor or result in electric shock!

Cleaning Your Toys

Temptations Parties sells two great toy cleaners (Mighty Tidy and ViroFree) that sanitize and sterilize and work on all toys, but for added information I have listed other ways to clean your toys. Of course you can use soap and water to clean your toys, but soap can dry our your skin and will do the same to your favorite toys depending on what its made of, plus, not all soap is antibacterial. If your toy is not waterproof you will damage the toy by submerging it in water ~ just don’t submerge the battery pack. You can also dab on hydrogen peroxide for a super clean feel. Never submerge electric toys!

Silicone: Vastly superior to rubber or vinyl dildos, silicone warms up quickly, retains body heat, is non-porous and easy-to-clean. Cleaning: Run it through the dishwasher or boil it on the stove (3-5 minutes) and viola! ~ your toy is sterilized. To keep the silky feel and refresh your toy, sprinkle with cornstarch.

Jellies: These dildos are made of a translucent, soft, and flexible substance that looks like it contains air bubbles. Cleaning: This material is a non-porous form of rubber that can be cleaned with mild soap and hot water. To keep the silky feel and refresh your toy, sprinkle with cornstarch.

Cyberskin: This material is soft and supple, and looks and feels remarkably like skin. Cleaning: Rinse with hot water (avoid soap or harsh detergents); to keep the silky feel and refresh your toy, sprinkle with cornstarch.

Latex: Use only water-based lubes on latex, as oil-based substances will break it down. Most toys are not made of pure latex but a combination of latex and jelly or silicone. Cleaning: Latex is non-porous and easy to clean with soap and water.

Plastic: Hard plastic toys are very easy to clean. They have smooth surfaces. Cleaning: Soap and water.

Leather harnesses can be cleaned with a damp rag, and nylon webbing harnesses can go in the wash with the rest of your laundry.

Oil products destroy latex! That means oil-based lubricants, massage oils, butter, olive oil…anything containing oil. Use only water-based lubricant with latex.

A variety of vibrator styles, sizes, and materials can be both inspiring and a little daunting. Finding the perfect vibe may require some self-loving homework. Answering these few simple questions can help cut through the information overload and prevent buyer’s remorse.

What do you want to use it for?

Do you want to use it on your clitoris? Do you want to put it in your vagina or anus? Because just about anything that vibrates feels good on or around the clitoris, phallic shaped vibrators suitable for penetration can also be used outside the vagina if the vibration is strong at the tip. Do you want both the full feeling of penetration and that all-important clitoral buzz? Dual-action vibes mean never having to choose one feeling at the expense of the other.

If you intend to use a toy for anal insertion, make sure it has a flared base so that it doesn’t slip all the way in. While there are vibrating toys made especially for anal use, most are not, so its best to get one specifically designed for anal play, if that’s what you fancy.

How strong do you want your vibration to be?

If you have never used a vibrator before, this is a tough question to answer with certainty so prepare to experiment! If you masturbate with a firm rub on the clitoris rather than a light touch, you are more likely to appreciate a strong vibration. Pick a toy with a variable speed control so you can play around until you discover just what amount of vibration starts your motor. After some initial investigation, you’ll be ready to home in on your vibrating dream date.

How much do you want to spend?

Though the Silver Bullet is the least expensive vibrator we sell, its quite strong and very good-looking. Some people like to start with a few of the cheaper ones and test them out. But if the deluxe, spinning, fluttering dual-action Japanese vibrator is within your budget, and you have a sense that it will float your boat, by all means skip the preliminaries and go for it.

How big do you want it to be?

Discreet purse-size toys like a “pocket rocket” hold a lot of appeal for those on the go. But if your vibrator is never going far beyond your bedside drawer, size may not be a concern. If you plan to use the vibe for penetration, the girth of the toy may be just as crucial as the vibrating intensity. If you are not sure how much girth you want, go smaller rather than larger so you will know your new toy will fit. But remember, the vaginal wall was built to stretch!

The final criterion to use is your own aesthetic. Say you have whittled the choices down to two or three contenders, and considered all the available information. Now its time to cast rational thinking aside and pick the one that tickles that sexy part of your imagination. It may be the prettiest one, the kinkiest one, or the most comforting and familiar one. Desire and aesthetic are deeply personal and entwined; so pick the vibrator or vibrators that speak to you.

1. Sex Toys Make Some Things Easier

It’s easier for many women to orgasm with a vibrator, it’s easier for women to get clitoral stimulation during intercourse with a vibrator, it’s easier to reach the G-Spot and the prostate with a sex toy, it’s easier to prolong an erection with a sex toy ~ the list could go on and on. The beauty of making things easier during sex is that you can sit back and enjoy the ride. Instead of worrying about whether you’re going to come or if you’re going to come too soon, you can relax and focus solely on the pleasure at hand.

2. Sex Toys Help You Break Out of a Routine

Do you require a certain stroke to masturbate, a particular position to orgasm, or a just-so lick during oral sex? Sex toys can expand your range, offering certain types of stimulation that hands or tongues can’t. A penis sleeve might tickle your fancy, a strap on vibrator might free you up to try different intercourse positions, or a small vibrator might add a delightful extra buzz to your next blow job. Think of sex toys as adding more entrees to an ever-expanding sexual buffet.

3. Sex Toys Inspire Sexual Confidence

By picking up a sex toy and pressing it to your genitals, you are taking responsibility for your sexual needs and desires. In a culture where we learn very little about sexual pleasure, this act alone is impressive. Rather than waiting passively for someone to fulfill all your sexual needs, you take matters into your own hands. As a result, you learn more about your sexuality, you gain greater self-confidence and expertise, and you’re more likely to have satisfying sexual encounters in the future.

4. Sex Toys Spice Up Partner Sex

Sex toys actually enhance partner sex play by enabling you do certain things you might not otherwise be able to ~ whether it’s a vibrator adding just the right clitoral stimulation during intercourse, or a butt plug that makes coming from prostate stimulation possible.

5. Sex Toys Make the Mood

You’ll discover that certain types of sex play beg for some sex toy accessories. That back caress may feel even better when it’s given with a warm oil, that kiss may resonate even more deeply if your hands are tied to the bed posts, and that cyber fling might short circuit your computer if you’re wearing a vibrator. Adding sex toys can incite your imagination and lend just the right spark of adventure to your love life.
