In an intimate, loving lesbian relationship, lesbian sex toys can add a pleasurable and exciting level to lovemaking. There is an incredible range of toys available for any couple, but among lesbian couples, the strap-on dildo is perhaps one of the most popular, though some find it a bit of a daunting item to bring into the bedroom initially. For lesbians who desire the sensation of penetration, however, the strap-on can be an exceptionally exciting and endlessly rewarding toy, and can bring a great level of contact to sex.

Strap on dildos come in many different styles, but the first and most important part to take into consideration is the harness. Essentially, any dildo with a flared base can be turned into a strap-on with the use of a harness. Harnesses are made from several different materials, leather being the most common. Leather is most comfortable against the skin, and though it cannot be disinfected, keeping it clean and polished will provide the wearer with a lifetime of sexy fun. Harnesses are also available in nylon, fabric, and vinyl; the fabrics are, of course, machine washable, and vinyl is easily cleaned with soap and water.

Harnesses come in a few different styles, the choice of which depends on the user’s personal taste and which is most comfortable. The G-string style has a single strap between the legs, often providing direct pressure to the genitals during use, which some people enjoy, others do not. This style provides more control than the two-strap harness, which is built more like a jock strap, with two straps running around the buttocks, making for a better fit adjustment. The G-string style is generally considered an easier choice for beginners. Thigh harnesses wrap around the leg, and can be worn by both partners for simultaneous penetration. Also for dual penetration, a double dildo compatible harness is available.

Using a strap-on dildo takes some practice, as it becomes like a new and awkward appendage. Some women may feel self-conscious with the thing dangling between their legs for the first time, but wearing it around the house alone at first may help. The most important part in using a strap-on dildo for the first time in a lesbian relationship is communication. Loving partners can easily get past the awkwardness of the first use together. Plenty of water based lubricant should be used on the dildo, and it is a good idea to penetrate gently with fingers first before charging in with the dildo. A good, consistent pace should be found during the act, again, with good communication between partners.

A strap-on dildo can being an exciting new expression into the bedroom for lesbian couples. With the endless range of styles and sizes, any couple can completely customize this intimate experience, and bring a whole new adventure into lovemaking.

With Easter fast approaching and the idea of eating too many Easter eggs an all too prominent memory from last year perhaps you should turn your attention to an Easter gift that you can share with your partner that will last a long time after Easter eggs have all gone.

Sticking with the egg theme, why not substitute Easter eggs with love eggs and bullets. Designed to stimulate the g-spot, love eggs are small circular shaped balls which usually contain smaller inner balls and can be inserted into one of the erogenous zones creating pleasure whenever any degree of movement (for example, walking or running) is made by user. Coming with a handy pull cord so they cannot go too far inside, they can be worn discreetly underneath clothing or enjoyed in the bedroom with a partner. Bullets are small vibrators that can be used either alone or with a partner and come with either single or multi-speed vibrations available at the touch of a button.

You could also try replacing the chocolate Easter bunny for a rabbit vibrator. Also known as rabbit sex toys, rabbit vibes come in all shapes and sizes ranging from mini vibes all the way to 11 inch long models. What distinguishes rabbit sex toys from other types on the market is that, aimed at women, they not only have a shaft that thrusts away (containing pleasure pearls that rotate) but also a ‘rabbit’ feature that stimulates the clitoris when activated. This special kind of adult toy can be used alone or with a partner for increased fun and games at bedtime.

If you have been invited to a fancy dress party or you want to spice things up in the bedroom, why not try a bunny costume. Coming with all the essentials – the fluffy tail, the pointed ears and the cuffs – bunny girl costumes will turn the head of any red blooded male when you walk into a room full of party goers or your other half when you enter the bedroom. If you don’t want to go the whole hog, a pair of bunny ears is just as effective for entering into the Easter spirit.

If you really don’t want to part with the idea of tucking into chocolate this Easter but don’t want to overdo it with the traditional fare of Easter eggs, why not indulge your more decadent side with some edible chocolate body paint that can be applied to any part of either yours or your partner’s body. Chocolate flavoured massage oils and intimate shaped body parts made from chocolate are also available.

Whatever you do this Easter just make sure that you have fun. Happy Easter!

Regardless of whether you are new or experienced in the use of male gay sex toys, there are numerous adult products available specifically targeted at the homosexual male in today’s marketplace. Some male sex toys such as the cock ring, even though this is by no means an adult toy exclusive to the gay male market, has been around since as far back as 1200 when it was first used by the Jin and Song dynasties by the Chinese, whereas the Fleshjack brand of Fleshlight male masturbators was launched specifically for gay men in 2007.

Gay Sex Toys for the Inexperienced Male

Products tailored more towards the beginner in homosexual male adult toys include items such as male sex toy starter kits. These kits are a relatively inexpensive way of trying out a whole host of male-specific products and consist of adult sex toys such as penis pumps, butt plugs and cock rings. A butt plug, also known as an anal plug, is also a firm favourite within the gay male community as it stimulates the anal passage. Anal beads also fall into this category. The majority of anal bead strings feature beads that graduate in size the further you go up the string meaning that the user can insert as many beads as they feel comfortable with. Many also come with a hand grip for easy release. Butt plugs are available in a variety of lengths and girths depending upon what level you are at. Some anal plugs are available as anal training kits and usually comprise of three different sizes of butt plugs. A cock ring is commonly employed by men of all sexual orientations to enhance and prolong the quality of an erection by restricting the blood flow to the penis.

Traditional Sex Toys for Gay Men

Sex pumps temporarily help to enhance the length, girth and hardness of the manhood by creating a vacuum in the cylinder which causes extra blood to rush to the penis. Male sex dolls feature vibrating and non-vibrating erect cocks, deep anuses and inviting mouths for endless possibilities. Dildos with balls and realistic vein and penis head detailing are also popular. For the more experienced gay male, anal vibrators and vibrating butt plugs provide variable speed manipulation for the anal passageway. Anal plugs with ridges either part of or all the way along the length of the shaft also provide supplementary anal stimulation. Vibrating cock rings facilitate a similar reaction but for the penis. A pleasure wand is a double ended device that massages the scrotum and balls with one end whilst the other end sends stimulating vibrations to the anus/prostate. Male g-spot stimulators pivot to massage the g-spot deep inside the anus generating an incredibly intense orgasm.

Male Masturbators

Male masturbators are another popular male sex toy for all male sexual orientations although male masturbators do not just come in the form of false vaginas and masturbation sleeves. In today’s marketplace several male masturbators cater specifically for gay men. They include vibrating anuses and tubes that have openings in them in the form of an anus. The most popular of the gay male masturbators available are the range of Fleshjacks. A member of the Fleshlight family (a new kind of masturbation tube), Fleshjacks not only feature the characteristic real-skin feeling within the tubes but the openings come in the form of butts and anuses while some of their inner sleeves replicate the insides of an anal passageway making it the most realistic penetrative feeling from a male masturbator.

The most important thing to consider whether new or experienced in the use of gay male sex toys is that the anus does not produce any natural lubrication so it is imperative that an anal lubricant is used to make penetration a much more pleasant and easier experience.

Whether you are new or experienced in the use of lesbian sex toys you may be surprised by the amount of choice that is now available on the current market. No longer are lesbian sex toys merely associated with strap ons and doubled ended dildos, although these types of products are still a popular choice amongst the lesbian community.

Strap ons in their traditional guise consist of a dildo that is attached to a harness that is worn around the waist and thighs similar to a pair of briefs. The harness is sometimes supplied with a number of O ring attachments so that if the dildo is detachable, it can easily be replaced with another one that has a different girth measurement. Although these strap ons are still a fashionable choice, there are now a number of different alternatives available. Strap ons now come with wireless and wired multispeed vibrators available as an alternative to dildos. A more recent development is the strapless strap on, either with or without vibration, which as the name suggests, does not include any harness or strapping, but instead comes with a bulbous shaped protrusion which can be inserted into either the anus or the vagina and allows for simultaneous pleasure to both partners.

Double ended dildos or double enders, come in the form of the conventional dildo but are considerably longer which allows for double penetration. Usually in the form of jelly dildos to ensure more easy insertion and better flexibility, double enders are also available with variable speed vibrating action and come in a selection of different lengths and girths depending on personal preference.

Love eggs and pleasure balls can be used in either the vagina or the anus. Either elliptical or circular in shape, these adult toys usually have a soft outer coating, sometimes with a nodular surface, and contain internal steel balls. Once inserted, the constant rolling motion can cause extensive pleasure to the user. Often coming as two balls or eggs connected by a sturdy Nylon cord, these sex toys can be used for sole pleasure or by both partners synchronously. Love eggs and pleasure balls also act an effective pelvic floor toner and exerciser, particularly post childbirth or menopause.

Butterfly sex toys or butterfly stimulators are worn as you would do a pair of briefs but there is one significant difference: they have built a built in vibrating action that stimulates the clitoris. This form of clit stimulator sometimes comes with a small penis plug that is inserted into the vagina for simultaneous vaginal and clitoral stimulation. Clitoral massagers or pumps provide multispeed vibrations to the erogenous zone by causing an increased blood flow to the labia and vaginal area.

Adult toys for lesbians do not just come if the form of products that aim to exhilarate the clitoris, labia, vagina or anus. Female sex pumps can, in most cases, be used on the clitoris and the breasts. By using a hand pump and placing the suction cup over the breasts and nipples a tight vacuum is created thereby generating intense sensations. Some pumps also come with multispeed vibrating action built in to provide additional stimulation.

There are also a considerable number of female sex enhancement products available which intensify female intimate responses whether it is for the nipples, female g-spot or clitoris. With all this in mind, there are a significantly higher number of options available for lesbians today than in previous decades that cater for all budgets and come in a range of different styles, sizes and colours.
