How to Choose Your First Sex Toy

Guide to Choosing Your First Sex Toy

Choosing a sex toy for the first time should not be intimidating, as we’ll explain here. We have divided the guide into sex toys for virgins and sex toys for couples, and we hope we have covered all the basics:

The main thing to consider when you are after a sex toy is your experience with sex and sex toys. What is your experience with sex toys? What about sex? Let’s first discuss how to choose a sex toy for virgins.

If you are a woman who is a virgin, then we recommend you get a non-threatening vibrating toy that will not be overwhelming but will provide you with all the stimulation you may want. For users who are not still used to penetrative sex, we recommend toys that are optimized for stimulating the outside of your body. Think in terms of vibrating bullets, wand vibrators, finger vibrators, panty vibrators, grinding toys, tongue vibes, and clitoral suckers, as these are perfect for external stimulation.

If you are comfortable with penetrative sex, even though you are a virgin, we recommend you get smaller toys that come with non-threatening size and look like the real thing but are made from body-safe materials like silicone. Some such toys are the small 5-inch dildos that can be good for first-time users and small, slim dildos that can provide a good experience without being overwhelming. You can also check out our guide to the best vibrators for beginners, where we cover the top beginner-friendly toys to use if you are a virgin or are just starting up with sex toys.

For the guys who are virgins and want to improve their knowledge and experience and don’t want to only use their hands to masturbate, we recommend manual penis toys. Think in terms of pocket pussies, masturbation sleeves, and porn star pocket pussies that provide an enhanced manual masturbation experience.

If you have the budget and wish to experience a more intense sensation, even though you are a male virgin, then you can splurge on an automatic masturbator or a blowjob masturbator, as these are high-tech male toys that provide a profoundly realistic experience.

For absolute beginners in anal play but want to try playing with anal stimulation, then we recommend you start playing with your fingers. It will help you relax and get a taste of the stimulation, and then you can continue using specialized anal toys. We also advise you to get a quality anal training kit that is designed to slowly and comfortably ease you into anal play.

After you safely use the anal training kit, then you can move on to using larger anal toys like butt plugs. Guys can also try prostate massage and use a prostate massager that is optimized to stimulate the prostate and can be used solo or while engaging in masturbation or even partnered sex.

Sex toys for couples are a great option, and if you and your partner are not familiar with sex toys but want to try using one, the first thing to do is bring up using sex toys in your relationship. After you and your partner agree on the sex toy/s you want to try, the next thing is to go online and choose one. When it comes to sex toys for couples, we recommend you try a couples’ vibrator, a cock ring, or another similar toy you can use during partnered play.

Now that we’ve covered the simple basics of the models that can be your first sex toy, we need to share the other vital things to know:

• Material – we favor sex toys made from body-safe materials like silicone, glass, or stainless steel. These are non-porous and easy to clean, and most are waterproof and submersible.
• Ease of Use – we recommend that your first sex toy should be a toy that is easy to use and does not come with a learning curve. Look for toys with ergonomic design and intuitive controls.
• Size – choose a sex toy that comes at a manageable size so you can safely and comfortably use it, especially if you are just starting with penetrative sex toys
• Features – your first sex toy should come with simple features that provide comfortable stimulation and are not overwhelming. Avoid thrusting and inflatable toys when shopping for your first sex toy, but turn to vibrating toys that come with softer features that provide a more comfortable user experience.
