How To Choose Your First Anal Sex Toy | Apr 28, 2008 |
Think over buying your first anal sex toy? Well, this is not an easy matter. The assortment offered at online and offline stores is great, but how to find the right anal sex toy, the one that will provide maximum pleasure for you?
Do not hurry. First of all take into account some things and answer some questions in order to find out what exactly type of anal sex toy you need.
When choosing your first anal sex toy you should take into account such important issues as your personal preferences (tastes differ, some like smooth penetration while others want something textured inside), the size, the material and your budget. So let's begin with your preferences.
Consider your preferences
Personal preferences is the main thing that will influence your choice.
Like the sensation of fullness in the anus? If you do, than you should purchase a smooth butt plug. A butt plug is an anal sex toy that is very similar to dildo but with some differences. First of all these are thinner than usual dildos, and secondly these have a flared base that prevents the sex toy from being lost in the rectum.
Butt plugs are available in a great variety of shapes, materials, colors and textures. Beginners are usually recommended to choose a thinner and a smooth butt plug without ribs, dots or studs.
Butt plugs can be used in a variety of ways. You can wear the sex toy during sex with a partner, solo play or even while walking.
After you have tried a smooth butt plug you can opt for something more serious, for instance a textured butt plug or a vibrating anal stimulator that is curved specifically for prostate stimulation.
A vibrating anal stimulator can be used as an anal masturbatoror you can use it as a way to relax your anal muscles before anal intercourse. Many anal vibrators are multi-speed and multi functional, they vibrate, rotate pulsate and do many other things. So intensive stimulation might seem unpleasant to you as you are not used to vibrations yet. This is why beginners are usually recommended to begin with smooth butt plugs.
You can also opt for smooth non-vibrating anal beads that look like two or more balls or beads connected with a thread. These sex toys are used to insert in the anus and then to pull the toy out at the moment of orgasm to enhance enjoyment.
Consider the size
Anal sex toy come in a variety of sizes. Certainly you should not opt for a thick one. Choose a slim anal sex toy and then when you get used to it, buy a thicker one. Step by step you will realize what size is the best for you, but we recommend that your first anal sex toy (a butt plug or anal stimulator) should be very slim.
The same can be said about anal beads. Your first anal beads should be the smallest ones.
Consider material
Anal sex toys come in a variety of materials. Some materials are flexible whereas others are not. Some materials have pores while others are nonporous. Non-porous materials are easier to clean than those non-porous. Find out what material the sex toy is made of and get to know more about advantages and disadvantages of this material and only then decide whether to purchase this sex toy or not.
Consider your budget
Material and special features influence the toy's cost greatly. Some materials, such as jelly or vinyl are less expensive while silicone is an expensive material. You should also take into account the fact that vibrating anal sex toys are more expensive than those that do not vibrate.
