Top misconceptions about sex toys

Since the popularization of sex toys, an enormous amount of things have changed... But some clichés are persistent! To help you fully explore your pleasure and not miss out on anything juicy, we unravel the truth from the false with you, and set off for a review of the main misconceptions about sex toys.

“You use that when you're single, in a relationship you don't need it anymore”

Ah, this wonderful misconception that a sextoy is there to replace a partner and continue to provide the pleasure we need when we have "no one on hand." Pardon the expression, and the blow to romance, but that's kind of the idea!

The sextoy is still seen as a pleasure object used to fill a void.

Lack of a partner, or lack of sexual appetite from one of the two, for example.

If we translate all that a bit, a sextoy is used in two main scenarios: when your soulmate is slow to arrive and takes time to burst into your life, or when you and your other half are completely out of sync libido-wise...

In reality, the sextoy is also used when you're in a relationship and everything is going well in the best of worlds 🙂 Why associate it with despair when it can actually unleash the pleasures of your duo?

“I wouldn't mind sex toys, but when it comes to penises we're the great forgotten ones”

When we start from the principle that the users of sex toys are overwhelmingly people with clitorises, it is logical to think that the product offer is almost entirely focused on them.

But in reality, even if brands offer more variety for the pleasure of people with clitorises, on the penis side, there is also plenty to do!

There are of course cock rings with or without vibrations. Sleeves or masturbation eggs to replicate the sensations of penetration, for example. You can also play with vibrators specially designed for you. They are placed on the shaft and you can either let the toy do the work with diffusing vibrations or add back-and-forth movements. Depending on what is the hottest for you!

There are also futuristic toys to have fun with your partner. Some masturbators will make you take off towards space while your partner, rubbing on top of you, can also enjoy the divine vibrations!

You can also play during penetration. Some couple sex toys have a flat insertable branch (to be positioned in the vagina) that will stimulate the penis with vibrations during back-and-forth motions!

If you're the explorer type, there are also prostate stimulators. It's a very erogenous zone! Or you can more traditionally play with an anal plug.

Stay tuned, we will very soon share an article on the top sex toys to try when you are the proud owner of a 🍆.

“Sex toys are only for pleasure”

Let's be honest, most of the time we use a toy for a little thrill. Not that it's systematically a race to orgasm, but we're at least looking to have a good time!

But everything related to sextoy is not necessarily linked to the desire for pleasure. We can also use intimate objects in a "care context." Quotes are necessary because we are not part of the medical profession, so we cannot treat you. Buuuut, we can help you solve certain issues!

What hinders your sexuality is not necessarily a fatality. No "that's just how it is and I can't do anything about it" holds. With good advice, suitable products, and the approval of a sex therapist or health professional, sextoy can be useful to you!

Some concrete examples? If you are affected by vaginismus, for example!

Your vaginal walls will contract, and it can be disconcerting comfort-wise for you, or encroach on your sexual fulfillment, your self-confidence, etc..

There are aids to address the problem! Vaginal dilators can help regain some vaginal elasticity. They are like small flexible rods, very slightly rounded in places, designed to facilitate insertion without causing pain!

Or you are affected by a perineum that lacks tone. Hello, embarrassing urinary leaks, poor quality erections, or other joys! Similarly, the toy universe can help you, and yet we are not aiming for pleasure. You will, for example, have Geisha balls that will help tone the perineum of a person with a clitoris or perineal electrostimulation for people with a penis!

“I've never had one, it's not at my age that I'm going to start”

Promise, age has nothing to do with pleasure! Come visit our stores and you'll see that taking care of your sexuality is not reserved only for younger generations!

If we look back, it's true that the products offered were not very attractive. From huge ultra-realistic dildos to toys whose vibrations could be heard by the neighbor... I agree, nothing very tempting there!

And that's not to mention the dark and gloomy stores you had to go to to find your toy...

Today, we are far from all that! Taboos are shattering... sextoy is becoming more mainstream and its users are no longer singled out. Pleasure is natural and everyone manages theirs as they see fit...

You wouldn't mind trying but you feel a bit lost? The shops are there to advise you, always with kindness of course! A pebble Vibrating that is not intimidating at all, a rabbit that is as simple and pleasant to use as can be, a masturbation sleeve. And for some, they could almost be mistaken for decorative objects... So there's no need to feel embarrassed if someone happens to stumble upon them by accident while visiting you unexpectedly 🙂

“If it's about selling a kidney to buy myself a Womanizer or other delights, that's nice but my hands will do just fine”

There is this idea that a toy is necessarily extremely expensive. So of course, when we talk about a technological gem with 212 different features, it makes sense to have to pay the price.

However, nothing forces you to choose the Rolls Royce of intimate toys, there are a multitude of very nice alternatives that also "do the job." At Wondertoys, for example, you can find little gems for a budget that doesn't exceed 50 euros, and it's really worth it!

And you, what have you been told about sex toys? 💜
