7 TOP COMMON MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT SEX TOYS

Yes and yes! As mentioned before, silicone is one of the most body-safe materials out there as it has the least pores to store bacteria. Silicone sex toys are very hygenic as they don’t store bacteria and are easy to clean for satisfying use again and again!

4. Masturbating with sex toys is bad for your health.

False!

Contrary to what you may have heard, masturbating is actually great for your health! Masturbation is great for blood circulation, for self love & pleasure, it;s a great stress reliever and has been shown to positively impact mental health. And by adding sex toys to the mix you can help teach your body how to have orgasms in all new ways!

Will we have any health issues if we use sex toys?

As long as you are using a sex toy as instucted, are using toys made with body-safe materials, and using both with lubrication as necessary you should never have any health issues or concerns by using sex toys! They are perfectly healthy to use and can often teach us about what parts of our bodies like stimulation, what kind of pressure/stimulation to apply, and even how to have better orgasms!

Are sex toys safe for internal use?

Absolutely! Whether you are inserting a sex toy vaginally, anally, or orally, all sex toys made from body-safe materials are safe for internal use!

5. If you regularly masturbate with a sex toy, you won’t be able to orgasm with a partner.

False!

Additionally, some people may have told you that your body will get “used” to what a sex toy or vibrator feels like, and then it will be harder to orgasm with tongues, penises, or fingers, and to that we say UNTRUE! Additionally, as a side note, people who often say this typically feel insecure by the idea of “being unable to satisfy their partner,” or feel like there’s inherent shame to using toys in the bedroom with a partner. And to that we also say it’s time for you to shed their shame and take pleasure into your own hands!

Sometimes from masturbating in the same way again and again, you might condition your body to orgasm a specific way, however people can do this with their hands or other ways so sex toys aren’t just the culprit of this! And like everything in life, variety is the key! By challenging yourself to orgasm and feel pleasure in a variety of different ways and with different stimuli, you’re teaching your body more ways to have orgasms!

6. Using sex toys isn’t natural.

True, but that’s honestly for the best!

Like many of the best things in our modern 2021 lives, sex isn’t natural and that’s for the best. Whether we’re using the best technology like condoms, birth control, or IUD’s to keep us safe from unwanted pregnancies and STI’s, we’re using “unnatural” practices in sex all the time that have been normalized. Unfortunately, pleasure, especially female pleasure, hasn’t been normalized in the same ways, so it’s time to shed the stigma and feel empowered to use sex toys desgined for our pleasure!
