Today at sexyliving.com, we’re setting the record straight, and eradicating any myths or misinformation you’ve been told by either peers or the internet. Let’s get right to it, starting with the most common misconceptions about sex toys.

1. I’m too old for sex toys.
False!
No one is too old for sex toys! During our lifetime sex may change as our relationship to our bodies change, as well as we age children moving out of the house and retiring can really make time for a lot more intimacy! Sometimes our interests and desires change, how we like to be stimulated, and more, but all of that is perfectly normal and there are toys for every need and want.

2. Sex toys are just for people with health issues or who aren’t able to have "regular sex."
False!
Sex toys are for everyone, at any age, for so many different types of pleasure imaginable! Sex toys and devices can be used to help with health, as well as many other types of health issues that may arise, but most importantly, they’re objects designed for the purpose of pleasure that anyone can use. Whether you’re looking to explore anal play, you’re trying for a g-spot orgasm, or even if you’re looking for erectile aids or dilators to help make penetration easier, there’s a perfect sex toy out there for you!

3. Sex toys can hurt you or give you infections.
False!
Sex toys when used properly as intended should never hurt you or give you infections, however, we can’t account for misuse or allergies. When shopping for sex toys we can always address this by asking if a sex toy is made from a body-safe material and by asking how to correctly use the toy.

What is a body-safe material?
A body-safe material is any type of material that doesn’t have pores like our skin to store bacteria. If we think of it as a scale, glass and metal sex toys will always be your safest toys as they have no pores, followed by medical grade silicone which can come in a variety of densities, shapes, and sizes and has very little pores for storing bacteria making these 3 materials the safest. On the other end of the spectrum, you have PVC, Rubber, and Cyberskin/Ur3 which all have lots of pores to store bacteria. These last three materials don’t start out unsafe (unless you have an allergy), but over time with continued use, they may store more bacteria which can lead to infections.
Are our silicone sex toys safe for use & are silicone sex toys hygienic?
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 hygienic as they don’t store bacteria and are easy to clean for satisfying use again and again!

4. 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 an 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!

5. My partner won’t want me if they use sex toys.
False!
To start, absolutely not. Sex toys aren’t (always) warm, they’re not loving and caring, and they certainly don’t hold you at night (not yet anyway!). They’re pleasure objects designed to bring play into the bedroom for whoever’s the beholder and they’re a great way for partners to explore and experience new sensations together and apart!
By using sex toys together, both you and your partner can educate yourselves about what feels good, and mutual masturbation is hot! Or, adding a blindfold while using a sex toy on your partner is an incredibly heightened sensory experience bound to bring plentiful orgasms!
