Toys are for people who can’t get “the real thing.”
- People who use sex toys are those who don’t have a sexual partner or they might the one antisocial loners or weirdos.
Their only option for sexual pleasure is to use a toy as a “replacement” for a human being. Sex toys are not replacements for partners, and people don’t always use them instead of having sex.
People from all walks of life, both single and partnered, use sex toys.
Toys are only for masturbation.
- This myth is related to the first one and reinforces the idea that you only use toys by yourself. Sex toys are wonderful for solo pleasure, but they aren’t just for that special alone time!
There are so many different kinds of toys, and most of them can be used not only alone, but also to bring fun, fantasy, variety, and inspiration to sex with your partner.
Toys are for folks who have sexual problems.
- This myth originated in the days when doctors diagnosed women with sexual frigidity and prescribed vibrators to induce orgasms.
The underlying theme here is that toys are made to fix problems and if you’re healthy, you don’t need them. What a load of bull!
Although toys can certainly help people with a variety of sexual issues, from low libido to erectile dysfunction, that’s not their only purpose.
If she gets her hands on a vibrator, she won’t need me anymore.
They may not admit it out loud, but somewhere in the back of their minds, many men have this irrational fear.
A vibrator does a better job than they do. Because of this, for some, vibrators and other sex toys feel threatening.
But they shouldn’t. Sex toys don’t put a dent in your masculinity or one-up your lovemaking skills. This is not an either/or choice or a contest.
Besides, a vibrator doesn’t keep her warm at night, take her to dinner, or fix things around the house!
If we have to use a toy, then something’s wrong.
If a person feels threatened by sex toys, he may believe that his partner’s desire for a toy is a not-so-subtle comment on his skill as a lover.
Using a toy is not about compensating for your shortcomings, it’s about bringing something new into the mix to enhance sex.
Sex toys can be an incredible way to explore new dimensions of partnered and solo sex. There are different types of sex toys, and their style, form, and function to inspire, expand, and enhance your sex life.
Just as technology has revolutionized our everyday lives, sex toys have the potential to transform everyone’s sex lives.
Join the revolution!
