First Time Using a Sex Toy: A Guide to Getting Started

Taking the first step into the world of sex toys can be both exciting and intimidating, especially for first-timers. But fear not! This blog is here to provide you with a helpful guide on how to navigate this thrilling terrain, from selecting the perfect toy to considering the importance of consent and the different dynamics of solo versus partnered play. So, buckle up, keep an open mind, and let's dive in! 

1. Selecting the Right Toy: A Match Made in Heaven

Lost in (G)wonderland? Considering the infinite amount of sex toys available, selecting your very first sex toy is no easy feat. But – we’re here to lend a hand in finding your pleasure. Figuratively speaking, that is. When it comes to choosing a sex toy, it's essential to find one that suits your preferences and desires. Here are a few tips to guide you:

  •  Do Your Homework: Take your time to research different types of sex toys, such as vibrators, dildos, or anal plugs. Read reviews, watch informative videos, and familiarize yourself with the vast array of options available.
  • Consider Your Needs: Not all toys are created equal, and that's the fun part. Think about what kind of stimulation you're seeking and let that guide your choice. Are you more inclined towards clitoral, vaginal, or anal pleasure? Are you looking for a toy with various intensity levels or one that mimics a specific sensation.
  • Size Matters: While size is most definitely not the end-all and be-all, it can play an important role in your enjoyment. Some sex toys are big and bold, others are petite and powerful. Start with a toy that feels comfortable and non-intimidating. You can always experiment with different sizes later on.
  • Safety First: In the pursuit of pleasure, we don't compromise on safety. Choosing a sex toy should be a thrilling adventure, not a dangerous game. Therefore, all toys in the Gwonderland shop are 100% bodysafe. Read more about what that means in this blog. After all, we want your mind to be blown, not worrying about your wellbeing. 

 

2. Consent: Solo Play and Partnered Adventures

Consent is a fundamental aspect of any sexual exploration, whether it's solo or with a partner. Let's explore both scenarios:

  • Solo Play: Going solo with a sex toy? Consider it your ticket to self-discovery! It’s a wonderful opportunity to discover your own desires and preferences. Create a safe and comfortable environment, free from any distractions. Take the time to explore your body and experiment with different techniques and settings. Remember, this journey is all about you. So, relax, let go, and allow yourself to simply enjoy.

  • Partnered Play: Planning to bring toys into the bedroom with a partner? Don’t forget, it's a two-player game. Communication is, as always, key. Discuss interests, boundaries, and fantasies, and make sure everyone's onboard with the new addition. And, importantly, involve your partner in the decision-making process – choosing the toy is half the fun!  

 

To sum it up

Embarking on the adventure of using sex toys can be an exciting and empowering experience. By choosing the right toy, prioritizing consent, and embracing a sense of humor, you can unlock a world of pleasure and self-discovery. Remember, this journey is unique to you, so take your time, explore, and above all, you do you (literally and figuratively).

Disclaimer: When it comes to sexual health and well-being, it's important to consult credible sources and, if needed, seek advice from professionals specialized in sexual health education and therapy.
