Your urge for use of sex toys suddenly takes a nosedive. You of course, get concerned. Could it be that your libido has taken a nosedive too? Or even worse still, could it be that your libido has gone the dodo way? – Dead and gone? You look at your collection of sub collars and all you can do is reminisce the good old days when all you needed was one look and bam! You got wet! You reach out to a friend in the same loop and they mention something that gets your attention – you’re using the right toys for the wrong occasion and vice versa. Not that you’ve never heard people say the same thing. You’ve heard before only that you’re now having a great eureka moment – it all makes sense now.

Here’s the thing. Sex toys are just like other toys – the ones you had when you were still a child. They can be exciting at first. Sooner or later though, the excitement dissipates and before you know it, the toy can only evoke distant memories of nights peppered with multiple euphoric orgasms. That’s why you need to diversify. Have a collection if possible. Like they say, variety is the spice of life. The point here is, you can always switch from one toy to another just to keep things a little bit exciting. So, how exactly do you figure out the right toy for the right occasion? Well, much of it hinges and around logic. Read on to learn more.

Prepare Your Body

Your body is a work of art – a marvel. When it comes to sex, it intrigues even further. To put that into perspective, sex may involve use of your reproductive organs. Much of it happens in the brain though – it actually a mind game. This means only one thing – focus is essential when it comes to sex. In other words, calm your mind.

Calming your mind for sex may sound hard at first. Surprisingly, it is easy. First off, keep in mind that familiarity breeds contempt. You may have been on a routine for so long your body now considers the routine a cliché. It doesn’t matter how expensive your sub collar, vibrator or dildo is. Once sex feels like a routine, the toys will let you down. To avoid that, change bedroom environment every once in a while. Light up scented candles, switch on some music and put away your phone. If you have water resistant toys, soak yourself in the bathtub and try the toy there.

Handheld Toys

You probably don’t know this but there are hundreds of handheld toys designed for both men and women. Small, handheld toys also happen to be extremely popular world over. Strangely, many people don’t really put much thought it how and when they should use their handheld toys. Take the vibrator for instance. Using it may sound as easy as buzzing it on and rubbing it around your clit in circular motions. But while that it ideally how it should be used, there’s really much more into using it and achieving orgasms than just rubbing it on your clit. The timing should for instance, be perfect. You should be aroused enough to enjoy the toy you’re using.

You may have to go back to the basics here. Did you ever read the instruction manual that came along with your toy? Manufacturers are different. Some change a few things as far as usage is concerned just to give you a unique experience. So yeah, take your time to read a thing or two about your toy.

Then there is the age factor – your toy, just like you, is aging. It may not buzz as strongly as it used to when you first bought it – even at its highest vibration mode. Unfortunately in this case, the best you can do is just hit the sex store once again for a new toy.
