What is a Dildo (Vibrating Dildo)?

Image of an ancient ivory dildo...

The Dildo is by far the best known and most common of all sex toys. Dating back many thousands of years, a dildo is fashioned as a faux phallus, doesn't vibrate (unless it is a vibrating dildo), and is designed for vaginal or anal insertion.

A dildo can be used alone or with a dildo harness, in order that the user can penetrate his or her partner hands-free. This is a common practice among straights and gays alike, and is popularly known as a "strap-on sex." 

Many straight men have discovered the ecstasy of being penetrated in the anus by a lover wearing a strap-on dildo. Besides being an intimate act, this likewise provides great prostate stimulation. Alternatively, men wear dildos in harnesses to experiment with double-penetration on their lovers, or to prolong intercourse after an erection has subsided.

Women also love to turn the tables on their male partners, and feel powerful having a faux penis between their legs.

What is a Sex Toy Vibrator?

Yes, when it comes to the Vibrating variety of sex toy for adult stimulation... we have come a long ways Baby!

Some sex toy vibrators look like hand-help mixers, some like penises, eggs, or animals. Powered either by batteries or electricity, vibrators stimulate the genitals and other erogenous zones by delivering faster, reliable vibrations than a hand, a penis or a mouth.

Vibrators have long been recommended to women to help them achieve a more intense orgasm, and are widely used and accepted as a tool for good sexual health. The most popular electric vibrators are the Hitachi Magic Wand and the Impulse 5+ Crystal Wand while the best-selling battery-powered ones are the Fukuoku Finger Vibrator and Rabbit Pearl.

To learn more about the many different types of vibrators you have to choose from, visit our Sex Toy Vibrators main page, or go to Choosing the Right Vibrator.

What are Anal Sex Toys?

Anal sex toys are mostly sex toys designed either to vibrate, or be inserted, into the anus. If they protrude in the middle they are often called "anal plugs" or "butt plugs" and are designed to be left in the anus for a period of time while the user is doing his or her routine activities.

Hmmmm, you've been a bad, bad girl!

Anal sex toys that are smooth and small, looking like dildos, are best for in-and-out penetration. There are also "anal beads" strung together on a strand with a loop at one end, and designed to be inserted into the anus one at a time, and then pulled gently using the loop.

Aside from anal beads, an anal sex toy must have a flared base to prevent it from slipping into the rectum. Unlike the vagina, the anus does not have the natural capacity to bar foreign objects from going further up into the body.

Great at stimulating the prostate (in men) and the clitoris (in women), anal toys are to be used with personal lubricants because, unlike the vagina, the anus does not secrete natural lubrication.

Learn more about anal beads, probes, butt plugs and other anal adult products for you more sex toy adventurous types. You can even learn what a "pony-tailed butt plug" really is.

Are there Adult Toy Products Specifically for Men?

Many men have discovered the pleasure of owning and using sex toys. A man's penis, testicles, anus, and perineum do feel great when stimulated by a vibrating sex toy. A vibrating sleeve, for instance, is excellent for masturbation while a cock ring with a vibrator attached to it is great for solo sex or with a partner.

Cock rings are mostly leather bands designed to be worn on the base of the penis, or between the scrotum and the body, to allow the blood flow to the penis while at the same time to restrict its outflow. This makes the penile erection harder and longer.

What are Penis Enlargement Pumps?

The way these manually controlled penis enlargement pumps work is by using a pump bulb similar to that used by a doctor to check blood pressure to pump air out of the cylinder, the penis expands and blood rushes in to engorge it fully.

Image of deluxe penis enlargement pump.

At least in theory, consistent use of a penis enlargement pump is akin to weightlifting. Repeated artificial engorgement and stretching of erectile tissue increases the size of the penis over time. These pumps can not produce any significant change in the length of the penis, although penis enlargement pumps can augment the circumference or in other words increase penis girth over time.

Whether or not regular use of a penis enlargement pump can permanently enlarge a man's penis is debatable, but some men do swear by them. Regardless, penis enlargement pumps must be used with caution because if they are not, you could end up with burst capillaries, blistering and other undesirable side effects.
