Dirty toys 'r' us: all abuzz about vibrators

I haven't gotten any in a while and I'm tired of waiting. Do you recommend sex toys? If you do, what kind is the best? -Dry Spell

Can you believe that there is only about a month left this semester? What will you do with your newfound romance once you part ways? How are you going to deal with the cold weather and not wanting to leave your house? I have the perfect solution: sex toys.

I'm not entirely sure if you are a boy or a girl, Dry Spell, so I will just cover all of the bases.

To all my ladies out there - you need to decide if you want clitoral stimulation, G-spot stimulation or both! There are many different toys out there to help us achieve maximum stimulation, so be aware that there are toys you can use during intercourse as well to help you along.

For clitoral stimulation, I would suggest any sort of vibrator, especially the bullet. If you've never used a vibrator I highly recommend you going out and purchasing one. Literally, stop reading and go get one. Better yet, go online and book a passion party for you and all of your friends. Passion parties are like Pampered Chef or purse parties, but this includes sex toys. If you host a party, you get 10 percent of the sales in sex toys! If you aren't getting a little wet already just wait until you own one of these babies. If you're not up for a passion party, I would browse www.babeland.com.

If you want some G-spot action, there are a wide variety of rabbit-style dual action vibrators. Also, in passion party terms, there are nubby Gs. The dual action means that one part of the toy is inserted and will rotate or vibrate inside of you. The other part of the toy vibrates and stimulates your clitoris. Did you know that in Japan it is illegal to make vibrators/dildos that are shaped like penises? So if you are looking around and you see something that looks a little strange, don't worry, it's just made in Japan. Check out the Jelly Osaki. It is used similarly to dildos but provides stimulation for the clitoris. I prefer these to dildos any day.

As for using a toy with intercourse, there are a plethora of toys that slip over the shaft of a penis and provide some sort of clitoral stimulation for the lady. Couple's vibrating rings have many different names, but one of my favorites is the Dual Wabbit. The "Wabbit's" ears vibrate on the clitoris as the body of the wabbit is on the base of the penis. Another function of the Dual Wabbit is having a second bullet and placing it under the male's testicles. Who says guys don't like a little vibration too?

All you fellas out there probably know about the fleshlight. It can also be called a gigi, or a sleeve, or to be even more specific, you can purchase a vulva fleshlight. Make sure when using any of these toys you still use lube so there's enough sliding. Also, make sure you clean off your toys with either a toy-appropriate cleanser or baby soap, like Johnson and Johnson, so the soap doesn't create holes in the toy that cause bacteria to seep into the rubber.

Don't forget about butt plugs and anal beads. As discussed in a previous article, there are many nerve endings that surround your anus. These toys, when used properly, can cause extraordinary stimulation as you pull one bead out at a time slowly and tenderly.

I'm not going to get into S and M and deliciously flavored products now, since you can't use those things by yourself. And as you asked, you wanted to know what the best kind of sex toy there is to use when you are alone and haven't gotten any in a while! So, Dry Spell, if you're a sex toy newbie, I would use a vibrator or, if you're a dude, a fleshlight with ribbing. It gets the job done and it is an absolutely great friend to have.
