I bet you never knew that the oldest known sex toy is 28,000 years old? And that the first vibrator was created as a medical device to treat “paranoia” in women during the Victorian Era? Back then, the idea of female sexual pleasure was not widely discussed or understood. Thankfully, we have come a long way since then, but there still exists a few myths and misconceptions about sex toys:
#1. Sex toys are only for single peopleA recent study by Dr. Laura Berman of the University of Chicago’s Berman Center, one-third of American women use vibrators. Additionally, women in relationships are more likely to use vibrators than single women, as well as experience higher levels of desire, arousal, lubrication, and orgasm. That doesn’t mean that they view them as a substitute for their partner. After all, a vibrator isn’t going to make you breakfast in bed the next morning.

#2. Males should feel inferior when partners use a vibrators during IntercoarseSexual exploration is not an indicator of an inadequate sex life. Keeping that spark alive is important and often times that means exploring new things. Vibrators and other toys can heighten the entire experience from foreplay to climax for both partners; ever heard of the We Vibe? This ultra-popular couple’s toy is designed to be enjoyed during sex by both you and your partner. Win-win.

                                            
#3. Women who own erotic toys are more promiscuous than other females.
False, and also a bit insulting. As stated in #1, women are more likely to use sex toys while in a relationship than are single women. Toys enhance the sexual experience; they don’t provide an excuse for a woman to throw themselves at anyone who looks their way. Over 50% of women own a vibrator or other sex toy, whereas only 1% of women in the ‘70’s used sex toys. The times they are a-changin’. Besides, who are you to judge?

#4. A man who uses sex toys cannot have lasting relationships
This myth all comes down to history, really. Dildos (which have been around for centuries), and more recently vibrators, have had much more time to reach the mainstream. Male sex toys are comparatively new to the market. There’s still a pervasive attitude in our society that if a guy uses a sex toy then he’s admitting that he’s desperate or given up on finding a partner. Fortunately male sex toy sales have been on the rise, and some attribute this to women introducing sex toys in the bedroom and helping to decrease the stigma (way to go ladies!). Men are beginning to realize that toys can make their sex life more exciting with or without a partner. We see nothing wrong with that!

#5. Adult Sex Toys decrease sensitivity, making orgasms harder to achieveThis is perhaps one of the most widely known and feared myths, especially among women who are terrified of “losing their orgasm”, a la Samantha in Sex and the City.

                                                    
The bottom line is there are no studies that show permanent desensitizing effects from vibrator usage. Some women report decreased sensitivity immediately after use, but this typically only lasts from a few minutes to a few hours.
Remember, masturbation won’t make you blind, and vibrators will not make you numb.

#6. The main function of pleasure products are to help you reach orgasm
While sex toys do an excellent job at assisting you in achieving excellent and sometimes quicker orgasms, they have other uses for men and women suffering from sexual dysfunction or other disorders.  Women who suffer from incontinence or a prolapsed uterus can exercise their pubococcygeus (pelvic) muscles – not to mention have more intense and satisfying orgasms - by doing kegel exercises. Men and women may also find that medical conditions such as multiple sclerosis or diabetes affect nerve transmission, which can dull sexual sensation. Certain medications as well as depression or menopause can limit sexual response. Sex toys are often necessary to increase arousal.

#7. I don’t need an adult toy if I can reach orgasm naturally
The fact is, most women find it very difficult if not impossible to achieve vaginal orgasms, but kudos to you if you’re one of the lucky ones. That said, maybe you don’t need one. But you definitely want one. We know it, you know it. Why wouldn’t you want to take your orgasms from toe-curling to mind-blowing? In today’s world of sex toys, there truly is something for everyone to enjoy. Life is too short not to have more orgasms.
