Pleasure Mechanics

Sex Toys and Tools

There are hundreds of high quality sex toys and tools available to experiment with.

Toys can help you create more pleasure, both solo and with your lover.

These vibrators, dildos, butt toys and prostate toys can help you stimulate new parts of your sexual anatomy, experience a wider range of sensations and play with sexuality in new ways.

Check out sites like SheVibe.com to find extensive buyer’s guides for toys that add more fun and variety to your sex life.

But remember – toys are supplements to high-quality touch, not a replacement for learning sexual techniques!

The Pleasure Mechanics Dos and Don’ts When Using Sex Toys and Tools

DO purchase toys from a reputable company that selects products based on quality and craftsmanship

DON’T purchase sex toys that are intended as “gag gifts” or “novelties”

DO spend time thinking about what kinds of sensation you want more of, and buy toys that will enhance your experience

DON’T buy toys just because they look good – ultimately, you want a toy collection that will help you have better sex, not pretty accessories.

DON’T buy toys on Amazon! The site is full of cheap knock-offs and the site doesn’t control quality. Buy from a site like SheVibe.com instead and you’ll get the real deal.

DO start small when purchasing dildos, butt plugs or anything insertable – you can always get larger sizes and work your way up

DO buy high-quality silicone toys if your budget permits. Silicone is smoother and healthier for your body than latex or vinyl.

DO consider glass dildos and wands – they won’t break and can provide a nice, weighty, smooth surface.

Am I Addicted To My Vibrator?

Do vibrators cause numbness and desensitization of the clitoris or other sensitive tissues?

We offer tips and strategies to regain sensitivity and learn how to achieve orgasm from different kinds of stimulation.

Don’t Like Sex? Here’s What Might Be Going On!

Wife Doesn't Enjoy Sex

A listener named Ryan called in with a very personal question. Nearly every time he tries to pleasure his wife, she responds by cringing and saying “ouch” or giggling. He tries to be a sensitive lover but she never seems to be able to relax and enjoy his touch.

We give Ryan, and everyone else who has a partner who can’t seem to enjoy sex, lots of advice and strategies to try to have a more spontaneous and pleasurable sex life. Our intuition leads us to believe there may be something going on beyond the relationship, a hidden cause for the hypersensitivity Ryan’s wife experiences.

This emotionally charged episode is a must-listen for anyone who has struggled to stay present during sex or had a partner who responds to touch in unexpected ways.

Update:

The day after we posted this episode, we received an email from Ryan thanking us for our response. Turns out our intuition is pretty accurate. Thanks to Ryan for trusting us with this issue, and we certainly hope that some of our suggested strategies create more pleasure and intimacy for him and his wife.

Stronic Pulsator by Fun Factory Review

Stronic Fun Factory ReviewAre you bored with the same old vibrations? If you’ve tried vibe after vibe and aren’t feeling erotically inspired, you’ll be thrilled to hear about the new toy in town. I was so excited when I heard from my friends at Fun Factory, the producers of some of my favorite sex toys. They produce quality sex toys using 100% medical grade silicone and the quality of their German engineering shows in every one of their toys.

Inspired by NASA technology, Fun Factory invested eighteen months of research and development to create a whole new kind of sex toy. The result: the pulsator. The Stronic Eins, the first toy in the pulsator line, shakes things up by converting strong magnetic force fields into a thrusting motion, giving women a highly stimulating alternative to vibrators.

Users report that the orgasms induced by the Stronic feel “deeper,” and “more emotional.” The thrusting motion is somehow more human than the buzz of a vibrator, and the various settings make the toy come alive with a variety of thrusting patterns. From tiny little pulses to vigorous thrusts, the Stronic moves in ways that evoke the thrusting motion of intercourse. The higher settings start feeling a bit like vibration, but the slower longer pulse settings take your pleasure in a whole new direction.

Most women will want to pair the Stronic with clitoral stimulation. Toy or no toy, most women do not climax from vaginal stimulation alone. You can try using one hand to hold the Stronic inside you and use your other hand to manually stimulate your clitoris. The toy is nearly silent, thanks to it’s magnetic technology. But that might not matter: even if the toy is quiet, we doubt you’ll be able to keep silent with the Stronic pulsating inside you!

We recommend always emphasizing human touch during masturbation and love making. No toy can replace the dexterity and sensitivity of your fingers. If you really want to tap into your pleasure potential, learn how to stimulate yourself and your lover with just your hands. Toys can, however, add a variety of sensations to your solo and partnered sex life. If you are bored with vibrators, try the Stronic and prepare to be thrust into a new dimension of pleasure!

The Stronic, along with lots of other great sex toys, is available at GoodVibes.com
