5 Scary Sex Toy Myths That Scare Us!

1. Sex toys are only for lonely people that can’t get sex from someone else



First of all, let’s unpack what ‘get sex’ even means. Sex should be a mutually consensual activity between two people who have the same sexual goals in mind. You don’t just pick up sex at the grocery store like a carton of eggs. People single, partnered, or somewhere in between can use sex toys freely without any assumptions of their sexual prowess.

2. Sex toys are for women only



Nope. There are a variety of cock rings, stokers, and suction devices for penis owners. And unless the design is built for specific anatomy, most sex toys can be used by anyone. Blindfolds, vibrators, nipple clamps, pumps, butt plugs, anal beads, paddles, restraints, are gender-neutral and can be great additions to your sexual play.

3. People who use sex toys are lacking in their normal sex life



Again, what!? If we are defining a normal sex life as one that is just two bodies and nothing else, we are leaving a lot of people in out in the cold. Sexual satisfaction can be found in a variety of ways including with the use of sex toys. More often than not, sex toys enhance a persons sexual experience rather than not.

4. My partner will think I’m a freak if I ask to introduce a toy in bed



Unless you’re a mind reader, you don’t truly know how your partner feels about a sex toys. Communication is key in relationships, especially sexual ones. Talking to your partner about your desires and introducing a sex toy doesn’t have to be a daunting task. Explain to them how it can enhance the experience and be open to answering any questions or addressing and doubts they may have (see point 3).

5. Sex toys are expensive



This is not true at all. There are so many great toys at accessible price points, so don’t let that be the reason you shy away from toys. Often times many of the more expensive toys get all of the press, but you can find many great toys that are within you budget without sacrificing quality or power.
