Myth:
Only those who don't have a "real" sex life use sex toys
Truth:
You can think whatever you want about those who use sex toys, but studies on vibrators have shown that those who have an active sex life use sex toys more often. 20-30% of people have used sex toys at least once in their lives. Adult toys are not crutches or a cure-all, they are an addition to sexual entertainment.
Myth:
Sex toys are addictive
Truth:
Addiction implies harm, and there is nothing harmful in using sex toys, at least as long as they are used for their intended purpose. It is true that people get used to using adult toys and sometimes even rely on them too much, but there is no addiction, everyone can give them up and go back to masturbating or having sex with a partner without toys.
Myth:
If a woman has a sex toy, she doesn’t need a man
Truth:
Sex toys are absolutely incapable of replacing a person. A sex toy won’t cook breakfast, hug you, or tell you how much it loves you. Many men are afraid of toys because they were raised to think that the most important thing about them is what’s between their legs. These myths about male sexuality have been around for a long time, which is why most men are so worried about their sexual performance.
Myth:
Men use sex toys because they can’t find a partner in life
Truth:
A man with a sex toy is usually imagined as a man in a raincoat with his collar up, quickly buying a masturbator, and then watching porn and masturbating in a dark room. The truth is that millions of men use sex toys, one study indicated 21% of respondents, regardless of whether they are in a relationship or single. The best way for a man to become a good lover is to learn more about his sexual response. Masturbation, with or without toys, is the key, and it also helps you learn to control your ejaculation. A sex toy in a man's hands does not mean he is a loser, but that he is smart and good in bed.
Myth:
Sex toys make sex unnatural
Truth:
Most of us grew up hearing a lot of nonsense about sex, one of which is that "natural" sex means only one thing. It's not. Sex doesn't become unnatural if we use toys to spice it up. Sex toys are "powered" not by batteries but by imagination. They are as natural as the people who use them.
Myth:
There are good and bad sex toys
Truth:
With the exception of a few toys that are actually dangerous, there is no such thing as a good or bad toy. Sex toys are what we make of them. A vibrator that might be too powerful, heavy, or even painful for one person might be perfect for another. A dildo that might be too weird and uncomfortable for one person might be the perfect shape, size, and texture for another. The most important thing is to choose the right toy.
Myth:
The more expensive the sex toy, the better it is
Truth:
Of course, you can assume that a $6 vibrator will give you more pleasure than a $300 toy. Expensive toys should last longer, they are made from better materials, but there is no guarantee that they will give you more pleasure.
Myth:
Sex toys are perversion
Truth:
The concepts of "normality" and "perversion" are quite interconnected, they mean what we feel comfortable or uncomfortable with when we are in public. But the sooner you understand that behind closed doors everyone becomes "perverts", the happier and more cloudless your sex life will be. Sex toys do not turn sex into an ugliness, they do not characterize you as a person at all, the only thing they say is that you are a person worthy of sexual satisfaction. And this is always appreciated.
