Sex toys have recently “come out of the closet” to take their place in mainstream bedrooms all over the world. No longer hidden with shame in a secret drawer, today’s varied erotic playthings are “popping up” in the sexual toy chests of people from all walks of life. As societal views regarding human sexuality continue to evolve and mature, we will begin to see more and more sexually themed products.

What has made having and using sex to toys so popular to the mainstream crowd? Here are some very good reasons for the erotic toy explosion.

Sex Toys Prolong Sexual Encounters

For those of you who have trouble lasting as long as your partner would like, there is a wide variety of toys that are specifically designed to “go the distance” when the need arises. Penis shaped dildos, couple enhancers, vibrators and other erotic devices are all meticulously crafted to prolong and intensify lovemaking.

Toys Help Women Achieve Orgasm

Surprisingly few women can achieve a satisfying orgasm through vaginal penetration alone. Though deep penetrative sex is undeniably stimulating, it’s often necessary to add clitoral stimulation to bring a woman to an intense and satisfying climax. A vibrator can be used to stimulate the woman’s clitoris during intercourse, increasing her pleasure and bringing her easily to orgasm.

Erotic Toys Enhance Sexual Imagination

In many cases, all it takes to re-ignite a couple’s sexual fire is a change from the usual to the unusual. Adding sex toys to the mix can energise an otherwise pedestrian evening and shift your desire into high gear. Fetish wear, dildos, bondage gear and other erotic accessories can bring your fantasies to life and help you become more uninhibited as a couple.

The Impact of Impotence is Reduced

It is a fact that all men suffer from performance issues at one time or another. For a certain percentage of men, impotence has a medical cause and requires medical treatment. Products such as penis rings or desensitising sprays can help to delay male ejaculation, providing better sex for both parties. Sex toys such as penis-shaped dildos and vibrators can assist couples experiencing performance issues no matter what the underlying cause of the problem may be. These exciting and very lifelike playthings can ease performance pressure for the man and help assure that the woman is very pleasantly satisfied. In fact, just having such devices handy can help alleviate a man's performance anxiety and allow him to have more rigid, longer lasting erections.

 Variety in Penetration                    

Most women are very satisfied by the feeling of being penetrated by their lover’s penis. Nevertheless, many women do confess a desire to experience the deeper penetration possible with a larger phallus. Many types of long, thick and extremely lifelike penis-shaped dildos are available to the woman who wants to experience deep penetration, and adding one of these toys to your lovemaking can increase the excitement for both partners. Not only that, but there are curved sex toys that are aimed at either G-Spot or P-Spot stimulation, as well as smaller, discreet products that can be hidden away from prying eyes.

Intimacy & Psychological Comfort are Increased

Even after they have been together for some time, many couples are not as comfortable with each other in intimate situations as they would like to be. Studies have shown that the use of fantasy and erotic sex toys during lovemaking increases each partner’s comfort with the other in sexual situations. If you've always wanted to get to know your partner more intimately, enjoying each other with the benefit of erotic toys is a great place to start!

As you can see, sex toys are not just for the kinky and eclectic among us; exciting and erotic toys and accessories can provide specific and important benefits to mainstream couples and singles alike. There is no time like the present for you to shop around, experiment and find out what exciting playthings are right for you.
