Sex Toys… One More in Bed

Sex toys have a history dating back more than 2,000 years. The famous dildos and vibrators have been used in nearly all ancient cultures—not only for personal pleasure but also in various religious ceremonies related to fertility.
Many people think that sex toys are the weapons of choice for those who don’t enjoy sex, or for people who have trouble reaching orgasm, but such claims are not true.
When used alone, sex toys are a great way to get to know your body and its erogenous zones, and when used with a partner, they allow you to explore new variations of erotic play by letting your imagination run wild.
Sex toys have come a long way; today, there’s a wide variety of sex toys for both men and women…from vibrators…Chinese balls, vibrating rings… to erotic items such as sexy lingerie, costumes, and the essential accessories to ensure that any encounter is filled with pleasure and sensuality…lubricants, flavored and scented massage oils…feathers, scented candles, and everything else that can make the experience even more erotic.
Nowadays, erotic game kits are even sold in pharmacies; some of them also include a “map of pleasure” with suggestions for couples’ play, massage oils, etc.—the basics for letting your imagination run wild.
The latest trend is the arrival of a new generation of sex toys—the so-called “ultra-high-tech” ones—which are taking the market by storm and revolutionizing it with their sophistication.

We’re adults now
Adults want to have fun, too… and sex toys are a great way to experience new climaxes and avoid monotony in your sex life.
The supply and demand for sex toys are growing steadily, and as a result, they’re no longer taboo at all, since society has become more liberal and open to trying new sensations, and is now more receptive and uninhibited when it comes to sexual matters.
That is one of the main reasons why the number of sex shops has increased in recent years. The mystery and secrecy of the past seem to have faded—the pent-up demand has been unleashed!
The customer base is very diverse, including both men and women… the separation of sex and religion, the loss of modesty, the trend toward erotic literature, the discretion of online shopping, and the rediscovery of pleasure at home may all be key factors in this resurgence of sex shops.
But there’s one more factor driving the purchase of sex toys: technology and design have tapped into a market hungry for innovation.

They’re daring…
Women are the best customers at adult stores. According to Geri Asenova, public relations representative for SexPlace, “they’re the ones who dare to walk in, ask questions, and buy everything”; they’re followed by couples who “already know what they want and what kind of toys best suit their sex lives.” She adds that young people “opt for the most affordable products—vibrating rings, lubricants, and condoms—that are featured in TV commercials.”
The most popular types of erotic items are “therapeutic toys, such as Chinese balls, lubricants, and aphrodisiac and edible oils. Lingerie, costumes, and corsets are also popular among women,” explains the public relations representative for SexPlace, noting that among adult couples, “the best-selling items are state-of-the-art vibrators.”

The Basics and Classics….
Vibrators, the all-time favorites…
They’re said to be the quintessential sex toy, and their use has skyrocketed over the last five decades, as they provide arousal for both men and women. They come in many materials and types, from those designed for vaginal or anal penetration to double-ended ones… those that stimulate the G-spot with vibration, those that heat up on contact with the body, retractable ones…The possibilities are so numerous that the vibrator or dildo has become popular as an “almost indispensable” sex toy for both women and men…
Vibrators are also used as an effective remedy for women suffering from anorgasmia, sexual desire disorders, and other related issues.
Vibrators can be used alone, while your partner is masturbating, or during sex, and everyone can use them however they like… because there’s nothing more exciting in sex than letting your imagination and fantasies run wild…
Finally, just a tip: use it with water-based lubricants, as they enhance pleasure.

Chinese balls… a healthy pleasure…
They are one of the best-selling sex toys in the world for women, although not all of them dare to use this device, which consists of two spheres containing a smaller ball inside each one, connected by a string so they can be inserted into the vagina. In addition to providing pleasure, they also have a therapeutic use, as they’re used to treat urinary incontinence and strengthen the pelvic floor muscles.
You can find all kinds on the market, from those with a smooth surface to those with textured surfaces designed to enhance sensations.

Cock rings, enjoy them “as a couple”:
In recent years, it has become one of the favorite erotic accessories for men and, above all, for women. It’s a great option for sex as a couple; the cock ring is a ring that is placed on the penis and serves several purposes. First, it increases blood flow to the area, resulting in a longer-lasting erection and delayed ejaculation, while also providing pleasure and stimulation to the sexual partner due to its shape and materials.

Vibrating rings:
They come in versions for the penis and the vagina. Shaped like a ring, they stimulate the genitals through vibrations. Whether you use them with a partner or alone, those who have tried them say they’ve experienced unparalleled pleasure.

Finger sleeves:
Both men and women use these sleeves, made of a soft material with a textured design, which are obviously worn on the fingers and are ideal for caressing your partner’s genitals or your own.
This sex toy guarantees maximum pleasure for the recipient of this somewhat unique massage—and, why not?—it also provides a delightful experience for the giver.

Vibrating thong:
It’s not very popular and may not be available in every sex shop, but if you’re lucky enough to come across one, don’t hesitate to buy it—this piece is a true source of pleasure.
The thong, made of a slightly stiffer fabric, comes with a small lined pouch designed to hold a vibrator and position it near the vagina. Best of all, it’s operated by a small remote control. It stimulates the clitoris and labia anytime, anywhere.

Inflatable dolls:
This is a great option for people of all genders, as they come in both male and female forms. They come in full-body versions or just the pelvic area, and feature various orifices: mouth, vagina, and anus.
Some models include vibrators to make the experience more enjoyable; you can use them whenever you want, whether you’re alone or with a partner.

Anal beads:
These are a pair of spheres slightly smaller than Chinese balls, which are also connected by a small string; when well-lubricated, they can be inserted into the anus without difficulty.

Cones:
They are used by both men and women who are looking for an “extra” boost of anal stimulation and arousal during intimate moments.
The cones are inserted into this part of the body, and they gradually dilate the area.
Cones come in various thicknesses, which stimulate different areas of the sphincter; some even feature a vibrator. Be sure to lubricate them before insertion.

The new generation of smart vibrators:
A new generation of smart vibrators is much more discreet and efficient, and their technological advances are truly impressive.
We’re talking about high-tech devices that have replaced those old vibrators, which were merely anatomical replicas. Companies like the Swedish brand “Lelo” and the American brand “JimmyJane” have revolutionized the sex toy market with sophisticated devices that look innocent, come in cheerful colors, and feel soft to the touch—yet hide ingenious features designed to multiply pleasure.
A modern vibrator is nothing like one from five years ago. Now they’re attractive, elegant, and discreet. There are high-end vibrators that recharge just like a cell phone.
Many of these devices have expanded their uses, ranging from the obvious to more sophisticated applications, such as simultaneous and mutual stimulation between partners—even when they’re apart.

Magic Fingers…JimmyJane Hello Touch
Hailed by the tech magazine Gizmodo as “the best sex toy ever invented,” the new digital vibrator from JimmyJane takes stimulation a step beyond a simple caress. It is worn on the fingers (on the fingertips), and the controller is attached to the wrist; from the wristband, you can select the desired vibration level, and your fingers stimulate the desired areas.
The latest in erotic phone services… Durex Fundawear…
This form of intimacy over the phone will win over many who are currently reluctant to use smartphones and will bring couples closer together—couples who, due to circumstances, cannot be in the same place at the same time.
It combines various technologies to make long-distance sex a multisensory experience: video conferencing to see each other better, sensor-equipped underwear for caressing, and an iPhone app that directs the caresses to the erogenous zones you want to stimulate. It is not yet available in Spain.

Pleasure Detector…Lelo INA 2
A gift for her nightstand. A dual-action vibrator that stimulates multiple pleasure points at once. Quiet and rechargeable, it offers eight different combinations of intensity and motion, and allows you to focus the massage on a specific area. It’s waterproof and covered in soft silicone.

paths to orgasm—even in the bathtub, since it’s waterproof. Available at JimmyJane’s online store

Just for him… Have Egg Atmosphere…
A bonus that amplifies the sensations of self-stimulation and solo pleasure. Its innocent appearance hides a sophisticated, spongy, and elastic sleeve with a ribbed interior (which is worn pre-lubricated) like a condom. Hard to understand? It all becomes clear when you watch the product demonstration video on Sexplace.
