The average man masturbates at least once per week, as does the average woman. While most Americans masturbate on a regular basis, we don't all do it the same way. Many of us prefer to use toys to enhance the experience.
One of the most popular toys for men is the realistic vibrating male masturbator. These toys are designed to mimic the motion and feel of a vagina, which makes the experience more intense.
However, like any machine, these masturbators only work well if you know how to use them. We'll offer some tips on how to get the most out of your toy here.
1. Don't Buy Cheap
The market for sex toys is flooded with cheap devices. The problem is that these toys are often cheap for a reason. Sex toys are underregulated, and many places don't have the same quality control measures in place.
In the past, this was less of a problem, since the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) would ensure that dangerous products never reached US stores. With the rise of the internet, products can be bought and mailed right to the consumer, cutting out the regulatory middleman.
Many people who buy these toys find that they're less powerful, less durable, and dangerous.
2. Follow the Instructions
We cannot stress this enough. Sex toy safety is important, and many of the sex-related injuries that occur each year are the result of the misuse of sex toys or other objects. One of the scariest injuries you can get is a broken penis, which is often caused by thrusting too hard and hitting a hard object.
Reading your masturbator usage guide, if it came with one, and following the instructions makes you far less likely to get hurt.
3. Keep It Clean
A survey conducted in 2023 revealed that 14% of people who use vibrators never wash them. If we assume the same or similar is true for other kinds of sex toys, that's a lot of unwashed toys.
If you're sharing toys with another person, it is possible to catch an STD if you don't clean the toy. Unfortunately, STDs aren't the only thing you can catch. More common bacteria, such as salmonella, e. coli, campylobacter, and others, can cause a host of other illnesses.
Practicing proper vibrating masturbator care can keep you safe and happy for a long time.
4. Enjoy Yourself
The whole point of sex toys is pleasure and an enhanced sex life. Staying safe is vital, but happiness is too. Whether you have a partner or are single at the moment, remember that masturbation is normal and healthy.
You can even incorporate your toys into tantric sex, so long as you stay safe.
