For many individuals and couples, one of the best sexual pleasures can be found with sex toys. Sex toys are big business, $15 billion annually, with 70% of them being made in China.
There are many different types of sex toys, ones for men, ones for women, and ones that can be used by both equally. Ones shaped like genitalia are by far the most popular. Even going back to the days of ancient Egypt, there were dildos carved of everything from wood to ivory. Cleopatra even had a vase kept bedside filled with buzzing bees as a makeshift vibrator. Hope it had a tight lid!
People think sex toys, and usually they think penetrative dildos, which is the most popular, yes, but there are also toys for men that simulate vaginas, and anal toys, beads, and butt plugs can be used and enjoyed by both sexes equally.
A surprising number of men adore using anal toys, as it can stimulate their prostates, which is like the equivalent of the g-spot in women. Many men indeed are using toys. Most just think vibrators and women, but sex toys are so much more than just that.
Electric vibrators have their roots in Victorian England, developed by Dr.’s to use on women they were growing tiresome of giving the “pelvic massage” for “hysteria” in women. It sounds too crazy to be true, but it’s a fact.
Women were actually diagnosed with hysteria and what we now know as an orgasm was the proposed cure, and they went to Dr.’s to get a “pelvic massage” to alleviate the hysteria. Many of the Dr.’s spent days doing little more than massaging the genitals of their female patients, and a device was designed so the women could use it at home on themselves, thus sparing the Dr.’s the tiresome, hand numbing manual work. It was all viewed as non sexual. Unbelieveable such things transpired. Guess these gals never thought to touch themselves……
