Local Stores

Going to a local store will give you a chance to ask questions, and feel the products. Theses are the best places to buy sex toys. But, seeing the breadth of products available in person is always fun. It’s always easy to spot a huge dildo molded like two hands and forearms, but seeing it in person is a whole other ballgame. I know it seems weird to touch a sex toy that’s not yours. But, the store is there to help you make an informed decision. Talk to the staff. Yes, it’s embarrassing for you the first time. Communicating is a huge part of sex. If you have a goal in mind, talk to the salesperson about it. Then, you’ll get an informed opinion and some options. After you have spoken to them, walk around the store and look around. Even if this takes a few trips to become comfortable, that is OK.

Talking to the clerk has saved me on several occasions. It’s stopped me from buying junk, or buying something that isn’t what I thought it was. The clerks, in my experience, have all been very helpful in finding a toy that works for my SO. I don’t have a pussy (obviously) so knowing what works from experience is important. They help me with that when I have questions about something specific.

Lovehoney.com

Lovehoney.com is my go to store online. They have excellent customer service, great pricing, and always seem to have what I’m looking for. Joining their mailing list saves you some money too. It sounds like a paid advertisement, but I’m not affiliated with them in any way. I do have an affiliate account with them, but it is not currently linked on this site. Expect that integration sometime soon. I always shop here first. This is what I would call a “trusted site” because they carry name brands and back them with the warranty from the company or their own warranty.

Liberator.com

Liberator.com is my go to for larger things that Lovehoney may not carry. For example, I have purchased a few sex wedges and ramps from them. The sell sex furniture, like a lounger built to accommodate several fun positions. Liberator is a strong name in the industry, and has been around for a while. One of the products they no longer carry inspired me to make my own headboard with hidden restraints. They are great for toys as well, but their selection isn’t as broad as Lovehoney has. What they do carry is quality. I also have an affiliate account with them. But, it’s not something that I’ve done yet on the site. Expect that soon as well.

Etsy.com

Etsy.com is a great place to go for custom items. Once you and your partner communicate and discover something you are both into, get something custom. Personally, I have custom restraints made by Atrocity Shop and I’ve been nothing but happy with their products. I have a full underbed restraint system made by them. Very strong, and very beautiful. My SO says it’s very confortable. We did have an issue with the size of the collar, but Dirk rectified it for me in no time! Etsy has a LOT of stores for dom/sub items, custom restraints, ideas for storage, etc.

Amazon.com

Amazon.com is good for devices that you know the specific of what you want. For example, I’ve purchased a Hitachi wand on Amazon with a speed controller. Amazon is also great for things that aren’t sex specific, but make sex easier. I’ve talked about being prepared in this post. I’ve purchased towels, lube, and sex blankets from Amazon. The blankets we use to protect the bed are extremely soft and water resistant. They are actually pet blankets, but they work really well, and are a fraction of the cost of a sex blanket.

The post What Are The Best Places To Buy Sex Toys? appeared first on Men's Sex Advice.

Sex toys are there to augment your sex life. The biggest concerns I see online are men worrying about the dildo/vibrator replacing their dick. It does not work that way. A toy cannot hug, hold or kiss you. Toys cannot comfort her, hug her, or be with her during rough times. A toy is never to replace, only augment. So, adding toys to the bedroom should add to both your experiences.

How you use the toys will depend on the toy. We have experience with expensive and inexpensive toys. Without only a couple of exceptions, the expensive toys have been worth their prices. This is my experience with sex toys.

To start, I would strongly avoid buying off Amazon. I know it’s cheap, but it’s not the good kind of cheap. Buying from sex toy retailers will ensure that you are getting the product you are paying for. My SO and I will go into sex stores and buy products so that we know we are getting warranty and quality. You want to stick with the brands you know or have heard of. We like We-Vibe, Magic Wand, LoveSense, and Lelo (among others). There are knock offs of all these products online. The problem with just getting them wherever (or on Amazon) is that they are often made with inferior plastics. Because these products go inside, on and around our most sensitive parts, we need to pay attention to quality.

Lets start with men’s sex toys. As most of you know, these carry a negative stigma. Even in my mind, I still have a mental block against buying them for myself. There is a large variety of toys for us. Shopping at stores like LoveHoney, you will see a big variety of toys for us. Some of them are inexpensive, some are hundreds of dollars. The least expensive male toys are cock rings. These go around the base of your shaft or the shaft and balls. They work to help your body contain the blood in your penis to maintain an erection. You can see the anatomy in this post that makes this work.

On the expensive end of the spectrum, there are completely automated masturbators. You will find that these machines are designed to simulate anything from a blowjob to vagina or anal sex. Because I’ve never tried these machines, I can’t tell you much about them. It’d be interesting to try one, for sure. But I would want to use it with my SO. Solo play just isn’t fun without sharing our kinks!

Lastly, my favorite group of toys, couples toys. Again, you can go from inexpensive to expensive. My SO and I like the remote controlled toys. In our experience, the toys that stimulate her clit while having sex are fun. For foreplay, the womanizer is very fun gently sucking on her clit before I do. It’s important not to be intimidated by something that’s designed to augment your pleasure as a couple, though! Keeping in mind that nothing can replace you, seeing your partner writhe in pleasure should be your goal, no matter the methodology.

Finally, make sure you are having fun with not just the toy, but the selection as well! As always, if you have questions, check out our Contact Page and shoot us a message. We’d love to hear from you!
