First thing to keep in mind is that, all sex toys need a little lubrication. The position and techniques do not matter when using a sex toy. It's just a matter of lubrication to make it more enjoyable and easy to use. Lubricants make your sex toys safer to use for you and your partner. You can feel a lot better when you properly lubricate it before your actual intercourse.

Our body creates a natural lubricant when having sex; this same principle is also applied when using a sex toy. If you want to feel a more natural way of having sex, using a sex toy, you have to apply this simple principle before starting. This will help so that you and your partner will not hurt yourself during too much friction. Always remember to put the right amount of lubrication even when you have a partner or just a solo performer.

It is very important to decide the right type of lubricant. There are three kinds of lubricant available in the market. The three basic formulations of lubricants are water based, silicon based, and the petroleum based which are closely similar to water based lube. The advantage of having a water based lube is that, you can use it on any virtual vibrator, masturbation, and dildo. It is very easy to clean after a sexual intercourse.

You just have to rinse it with warm water and it is ready again for use. But if you are using a waterproof toy, water based lube is not very effective to use. Water based lubricant will just rinse off when subjected to water as well. It will definitely defeat the purpose of using a lubricant. You may want to use a water based lubricant in any sex toy made of silicone. But using a silicone lube in a silicone toy will damage your sex toy. A silicone is greatly made up of small particles of crystals. When these tiny little crystals rub on to each other, they will definitely scratch each other. It will create havoc on the silicon toy that might create e tremendous damage on your sex toy.

If you want sensual fun in the water, silicon lube is just the right choice. If you also love using a waterproof toy, you can use the silicon lube too. You may use your sex toy for a life time if you will use a silicone lube. A silicon lube can be used again after long intercourse just by adding a little saliva or water into the silicone lube. It will not take many hours of cleaning this thing because a little soap and water can do the trick.

For female masturbation and non latex anal toys, petroleum lube is recommended to use. If you are fond of anal play you may use petroleum lube to make your entry as smooth as possible. Avoid using petroleum lube on sex toys made up of latex material. It tends to irritate the women's vagina during an intense sexual intercourse. Look for the best lubricant that you can use for your sexual fantasy.

Oftentimes Christian couples will have questions regarding the specific rules of intimacy allowable within the Christian religion. If these questions go unanswered, they can cause great stress and uncertainty within the relationship. In turn this can cause strains in sexual intimacy, and cause sex to be limited or less frequent. Here are important rules to learn regarding Christian intimacy:

Positions allowable:

Many Christian couples will be surprised at the number and variety of positions allowable. First off, the main aspect to positioning is safety. If it is not safe and not intimately enjoyable to your partner, then it should not be allowed.

The one position or intimacy act most often discussed and debated is that of rear entry. Again Christians may be very surprised to find the amount of positive remarks regarding this position. It can be argued, and cited directly from the Bible, that this intimacy position is definitely allowable. On the other hand, there are individuals who have steadfast beliefs otherwise. It is up to the couple to make the decision, making sure to always put safety at the forefront of the discussion.

Sex Toys or Intimacy tools:

Another controversial issue within Christian sex intimacy, is in regards to sex toys or intimacy aids. Many will automatically assume that these tools are to be forbidden, but the truth is not as cut and dry. Sex toys or intimacy aids are indeed allowed within Christian intimacy, given that they offer a safe, enjoyable way to increase or assist in sexual pleasures. Oftentimes sex toys such as lotions or lubricants will often make intimacy much more safe and sound, than without the use of them.

Christian Sex Manuals for Rules and Practice Technique:

Some have believed that even reading or studying this subject more intensely is possibly a sin and likely isn't allowed. It certainly is not forbidden to seek out more knowledge by studying from a sex intimacy manual which is specifically written for Christian couples. This is actually one of the quickest, easiest, and most effective ways to get to the bottom of Christian intimacy practice and find out not only what is allowed, but different tips and techniques you can use to greatly increase your intimate sex life.

Why do some neutered male and spayed female dogs try to hump other dogs, toys and even humans?

Is it an unusual sex drive, a hormone deficiency or an over abundance of testosterone?

This is a question that has been puzzling me for some time as I have been in the company of small dogs that seem to have an incessant need to hump certain toys on a constant basis.

In trying to research this subject, I found very little concrete information as to why some dogs do this and others do not.

The only physical reason I could find was that there is a possibility that the dog is suffering from a condition in the genital area that is causing itching or is irritated. Of course, if that is the problem, the constant rubbing of the area on a toy, other dog or even a person just creates more irritation.

The thing to do here, is examine the genital area and if you see irritation, call your vet as he/she can prescribe medication to cure the problem, before it gets to be a habit,

The other possibility is that when the dog tried it once, for whatever reason, it felt good and since no one stopped the behavior, it ultimately became a habit too hard to break. But watching a dog perform its gyrations in front of small children or elderly adults seems to be a bit inappropriate.

Adolescent dogs have a great deal of testosterone, even the neutered ones and a visit to a dog park with all the wonderful smells that abound there, can get even the most calm dog excited.

Since conversation, holding hands or just plain lusting is not a dog’s way of handling its hormones, humping becomes a natural thing to do.

The problem with this “natural behavior” is humping in many cases is a show of dominance, a feeling of power and while I realize that, that can be a nice feeling, a dog can get carried away with it and force another dog into submission.

Forcing another dog into submission can have a profound effect on its personality. Dogs are social creatures and like their human counterparts need to feel good about themselves and their world.

A dog forced into submission by another dog in the Dog Park or anywhere else can easily become afraid of other dogs or suddenly change its personality and become the aggressor.

Socializing your puppy with dogs of both sexes can help orient your dog to sexual behavior that is attracted to the opposite sex; and not to same sex dogs, pillows, toys or humans.

Puppies in play and some adult dogs in play do hump each other.

It may be a show of dominance at that moment, but usually it is done as a part of whatever game they are playing.

What can you do if this mannerism has become a habit that is not only embarrassing to you, but could create an irritation for the dog?

Distraction is the “key word.” It matters not whether your dog is neutered or not. Dogs that are intact do not need to hump everything they see either.

If you are at the Dog Park and your dog is the main target for the day, a good way to stop the encounter is to train your dog to sit on cue. A sitting dog is not an acceptable target. This works for both males and females.

Female dogs learned this on their own, when they did not want to be bothered by adoring males.

If it is your dog that has discovered that humping is fun and you are not seeing the joy in it, your job is to become the distracter.

This will take patience on your part and time, especially since most of us are not on call for our dogs 24/7.

Removing the larger toys that can be humped will help, along with pillows and any other soft objects that appear to be attractive to your dog.

When you are home being watchful of your dog’s actions is the first prerequisite. Whenever your dog starts the action, distract it with a treat, a toy or a walk.

The humping is a habit and habits can be broken, after a few days of being distracted, the habit should become less and less noticeable and eventually will fade away.

Patience and determination are the prime requirements on your part, with distraction being the key element.

Good Luck.

The variety of sex toys is surprising. Sex toys vary from purely male or purely female sex toys to toys that can be used by both sexes. There are also some sex toys that can also be classified as sex aids or marital aids.

The Purpose Of Sex Toys

Some sex toys aid the man's erection, stimulate the female genitals to become more sensitive or provide a different feel to 'normal' sex. Other sex toys provide an 'environment' for variations in sex, for example so called orgy bed sheets. Sometimes they are used to help a person who has difficulty with unaided sex to achieve sexual satisfaction. However most sex toys provide a new way to directly stimulate the male or female genitals to achieve sexual satisfaction.

Using sex toys can provide new experiences and variation in the sexual experience. It can also provide a fantasy element for enhancing or revitalising a relationship.

The usual expectation is that a sex toy provides direct stimulation of the genitals in foreplay and/or during sexual intercourse or as a means to obtain orgasm through only the stimulation provided by the sex toy.

Types of Sex Toys

Vibrating Sex Toys

Probably the most well known sex toys are 'vibrators' which, as the name suggests, provide stimulation of the genitals using vibration. They are mainly used to stimulate the clitoris, but may also be used to stimulate any other part of the female body or that of a man's.

The simplest of these are pencil or wand shaped (though normally thicker than a pencil). They often have an internal battery (or two) which powers a small electric motor. Sometimes the battery pack and controller are external and connected to the vibrator by a wire. This motor is fitted with a small, out of balance, weight attached to the shaft. As this weight rotates it throws the motor and vibrator into a small circular movement which causes the vibration you feel.

With a vibrator that has a controller, as the power is increased the speed of the motor increases and with it both the rate and strength of vibration. Both the strength and rate of vibration effects how stimulating you find the sex toy. The best effect may not be as strong and as fast as possible. The optimum settings may well change as your degree of excitement builds. To get the best results it is worth buying a vibrator which is controllable.

Different vibrators will have different characteristics and you may well find you prefer one combination much more than another and your preference may even vary depending on which part of your body you are stimulating.

More recently electronic vibrator controllers have appeared which provide not only the static control of power/speed but also allow you to select patterns of power pulses and surges. These can be very effective.

There are also other vibrating sex toys such as butterfly stimulators and vibrating penis rings.

Other Powered Sex Toys

There are some sex toys that use other ways to provide mechanical stimulation. These usually depend on a motor that makes the sex toy continually change its shape which provides a sort of rotational movement or makes it move back and forth. The back and forth movements are sometimes powered by an air pump rather than a motor. The movements have been used to create, for example, mechanical licking tongues, vibrators that 'penetrate' the vagina and mouth simulators to give a man a 'blow job'.

On a bigger scale and much more expensive, there are 'sex machines' that incorporate thrusting and vibrating dildos.

Combination Sex Toys

So far we have covered vibrating, moving and thrusting sex toys. As you may have guessed these are all offered in a bewildering array of combinations.

A common combination in many 'Rabbit Style' vibrators is clitoral stimulation using vibrations and vaginal stimulation using movement and sometimes a thrusting motion as well.

Many sex toys add varying textures to their surfaces; a dildo or vibrator may have ridges or soft spikes or a rippled shape.

Sensation Change Sex Toys

Some sex toys rather than provide vibrating or moving stimulation, change the feel of sex.

For instance there are a variety of sleeves to put over the penis to provide different sensations for both partners while engaged in penetrative sex.

There are rings that squeeze the base of the penis and/or tighten the scrotum that assist the man's erection and also changes his sensations. There are penis extenders and thickeners which may give a man's partner greater sensations during penetration.

There are a wide variety of lubricants that can significantly change the feel of sex.

There are PVC and Polyurethane bed sheets that are water and oil proof that can be used for slippery or messy sex.

Why Use A Sex Toy?

A good question is: why do people use a sex toy? Surely fingers, tongues, penises, clitorises and vaginas etc all provide great sexual stimulation and enjoyment.

Well, apart from therapeutic uses (eg erection assistance), sex toys can drive the imagination (being taken by a machine), provide variety (new ways to do old things), vary the stimulating effects in otherwise normal sex (penis sleeves) and some can provide experiences not possible with 'normal body parts' (particularly vibrating sex toys and electro-stimulation).

Where To Start

If you have not tried a sex toy before and don't yet have an idea of what you might like, try one of the simpler vibrators first. Most probably you will enjoy the experience and then start to wonder what other delights can be found with more sophisticated vibrators and other sex toys ...

If you then find you do enjoy sex toys try out a few others and find what suits you. Above all, have fun trying them out!

India is a growing nation that and is now a powerful country on the world stage. Women in India are seeing their role in society change and they are becoming empowered an as a result are becoming more sexually aware. As a result the question of the use sex toys such vibrators have been open to debate with in the country.

There are many different beliefs and approaches to sexuality, sexual practices and the roles of women in society. The differences are born out geographically, religiously and socially. Any individuals approach to their sexual being is most often as a result of environment that they were brought up in. A person's sexuality is a product of one's parents, peer group, sexual education, media available, and religion among many mitigating factors.

In many instances most people will conform to society at large and their sexual tendencies and preferences will be similar to those around them. In Western society over the course of the last 50 years the view of sex has changed. It is fair to say that the Western world is much more liberal in their views of sex. Love-making is openly talked about subject and has led to women being more enlightened about their sexual being. A good example of this is that 20 years ago only the minority of women would of known where to locate their clitoris, now even the majority of Western men can locate a women's clitoris and understand how to bring a woman to orgasm.

If you move out of Western society sex is much more of a taboo subject. In India for example many women have trouble in purchasing a vibrator because many companies will not ship in sex toys because of the government's position in India. Attitudes are changing within India as women are gaining equality through education and carrying that through to the workforce. Indian women now want equality elsewhere and that now includes in the bedroom. The similarity with Western society of the 1960's and 1970's is uncanny. It is the use of media including the internet that has left many Indian women desiring more from their sexual experiences.

Asian women want sex to be seen as more than just procreation or for the benefit of the man. Indian women no want to their sexual encounters to satisfy their sexual needs. Through the internet and the fact that a small but influential group of women have been educated in the Western world; Indian women now understand and are aware of how they can go about achieving sexual gratification.

One of the best ways for women to learn about their sexual being and to understand how to bring their own body to orgasm is through self-pleasure. This can be done manually or through the use of sex toys such as vibrators. Through self-pleasure and experimentation women can find what kind of touch, stoke and pressure she needs on her erogenous zones (clitoris, AFE Zone and G-spot) to bring about sexual nirvana.

Although many companies don't ship vibrators to India or other sex toys with a little research there are companies out there which will. In most instances companies are under the policy that sex toys are fine to ship but pornographic material isn't. When shopping online for instance if within your country a product cannot be sold then the site will tell you when you reach the shopping cart. Yes vibrators are available to purchase in India and just requires a little bit of searching.

Women in India are slowly becoming more sexually aware and are demanding equality in the bedroom. This is set to grow as women become more enlightened through the internet, media and peer groups. The role of sex toys and vibrators will become more important and wide spread and women will have a greater understanding of their sexual being and as a result will lead to more satisfaction in their sex life.

Unlike men, whose sex organs are available for self pleasure by stroking and stimulating any time of the day, women have to contrive to entice their clitoris out of hiding and available for pleasuring. One of the most common female self pleasuring tips is the use of sex toys and gadgets.

Luckily for us, female self pleasure toys can be found in our very own kitchen. Sure, jokes have been made about this, but it’s true. The usual suspects here are any penis-like vegetables and fruits, like carrots, cucumbers or zucchinis. Bananas are too soft to do the trick. Sometimes, un-penis-like fruits and vegetables can create another type of female self pleasure as a form of taste aphrodisiac: cherries, grapes, or sections of oranges. Feel free to use different female self pleasure techniques to enhance your arousal. Inserting any of the penis-like items inside your vulva, as you would a dildo will add to your self pleasure. As a female self pleasure technique, the use of fruits and vegetables has a lot going for it: It will not endanger you physically, in contrast to, for example, using a bottle, which might break inside you, or, a piece of wood, which might splinter--ouch! I am not sure that anyone has ever used an open bottle for this purpose, but it is worth cautioning all women against it: An open bottle will form a-suction inside you and it would be quite impossible to remove it without the embarrassment of explaining to a doctor why you are depositing strange objects inside your vagina.

After you’ve pleasured yourself with just about everything you can from your fridge, you might want to try a dildo. Dildos have been manufactured to be sold and used especially for female self pleasuring. They were not merely created to aid men in their sexual fantasies when they watch all those erotic movies. Erotic movies, however, are very informative when it comes to learning how to use dildos. Use a dildo to massage your clitoris and slide it in and out and around your vagina. Even better are the men, who possess the lingual skillfulness similar to a dildo but more importantly, they are selfless enough to aspire to that ability. Either way, these great female self pleasuring techniques will open up a whole new world of female self pleasuring ideas.

There is a questions amongst many Christians regarding sex and what exactly is allowed. There are different points of view on the subject, but here are some common answers to "What is okay for Christians and sex?" Here's some commonly asked about practices:

Oral Sex.

As mentioned, differing views will arise when it comes to certain sexual practices. Oral sex is one of those practices often misunderstood, and sometimes wrongly placed alongside sodomy. Oral sex should be allowed, as scripture does not present it in a negative light, and actually many argue that it places it in a favorable light within certain passages. The negative aspect this practice has received, usually has to do with tying it into scripture which talks about homosexuality, which is not allowed. But on it's own with your married partner, this practice is a great alternative to practice as a natural prevention of unwanted pregnancy.

Taking Erectile Dysfunction Drugs (like Viagra).

Some Christians when wondering what is okay for Christians and sex, question the use of erectile dysfunction medication. This is also okay as the drugs do assist your body into performing properly. If there is a dysfunction in your sexuality, medication measures should be allowed to correct it so you can continue enjoying pleasurable intimacy with your wife.

Sex Toys.

When questioning what is okay for Christians and sex, the topic of sex toys often comes up. Are sex toys allowed? Yes! There are many different types of sex toys, and besides the obvious extreme and potentially dangerous toys, most of the standard one's are fine to use during intimacy.

Adult Toys are a great way to experience new things in the bedroom. Most adult Novelties can provide direct stimulation and arousal, and many couples are turning to adult toys to help spice things up. Although some couples may feel embarrassed or uncomfortable using adult toys to help stimulate their love life, in reality experimenting with sex toys can actually create can openness between you and your partner. Using adult toys can help you experience new areas of arousal and pleasure together, and help you better understand how to please your partner. The main reason couples feel uncomfortable using sex toys together is because they have never used them before, its something unfamiliar. If you and your partner are ready to embark on a new, romantic, passionate adventure together these toys may be just what you need to get started.

Not only can these toys help couples become more open sexually with one another, sex toys are appealing because they are relatively inexpensive. Buying a toy is a one time purchase that can provide multiple opportunities of passion for you and your partner in the bedroom. Adult toys also come in a variety of sizes and models and can be used by the inexperienced and experienced alike. If you are new to the world of adult toys, do your research on the differences between products. You may chose to include your partner as you shop around for just the right adult toy, or you may chose to surprise him/her with your purchase.

If you and your partner are new to the world of adult toys, adult games, or enhancers, then start off slow. Make sure that whatever you try is something that you both feel comfortable trying. If one partner feels awkward or uncomfortable it will impact the overall experience of both people. Recognize that sex, like other qualities of your relationship, requires time and effort to keep things alive and going strong. Just as individuals change throughout time, you also have to adapt your sexuality and sensuality with the relationship. Being open to trying new things in the bedroom and being adaptable to change is just one way that your love life can grow and flourish.

Adult novelties are just one way that couples can enhance their relationship, other options include lubes, adult games, lingerie, and adult videos. A common misconception is that these enhancers are used to replace having a partner. And, while that may be true in some circumstances, it is certainly not always so. Remember that in order for a couple to grow their sexual relationship they must be open with each other, and be willing to understand what pleases their partner. Enhancers may simply be a way to help you and your partner get your sexual adventure started. If you have some experience using adult Novelties then you already know the benefits that come from using them. If you are new to the world of adult toys then the adventure is ahead of you!

Many relationships dwindle as a result or bad sex. Let's face it, sex needs to be good or even great over a long period of time in order for a relationship to work in the long run. I have a secret that I want to reveal to you that will have your spine arching in delight each and every night.

Forget Costly Sex Toys

Yes, sex toys can improve the quality of your sex life, but sex toys can get old. Then what? Then you're back to purchasing more extravagant and more expensive toys. There is no need for this.

The Number One Way To Make Your Sex Life Awesome

Tighten Your Vagina! How is it possible that tightening my vagina can make my sex life that much better? Simple. Your PC muscle contracts when you have an orgasm. Now, if you PC muscle is not in shape, or weak, your orgasms won't be nearly as powerful as they COULD BE. If you strengthen this muscle, you will not only have better orgasms, but you will have MORE orgasms. This is because your PC muscle will become stronger. A more powerful muscle requires more blood. This means that your vagina will become more vascular, which means more blood will be traveling to this area. As a result, your vagina will be far more orgasmic. You'll be able to have multiple orgasms with far more ease.

Why Else Is A Tight Vagina Important?

Another easy answer! Have you been wondering about new ways to please your man? Look no further, because when you tighten your vagina, an entirely new world of sexuality will open up. This is because when you tighten your vagina, you will develop exceptional control over your vaginal muscles. When you're inside of your man, you'll be able to work his penis in ways you or he never thought possible. He will absolutely love it!
