Are Séx Toys Really Safe? See The Facts

Séx toys seem to be everywhere these days. But the question is: are they advisable and healthy? Is there any harm in using séx toys? 

 

My husband would only enjoy séx, get a good órgasm only when he had used a hard banana on me that is lubricatéd with menthol during foréplay before he starts off the actual thrusting in and out...

I do not mind initially but now it has become a habit. He says it is homemade séx toys that he likes experimenting with because of their textures. He says that without them, he cannot get séxually connected to me. Do séx toys really promote séxual harmony? How many times per day can we use them and how long can someone become addicted to séx toys?

Are there bad and good séx toys? Are there any side effects from their use? Is there any harm if I use a carrot instead of a dildó/vibrátor? My friends introduced me to some form of natural methods like the use of running warm water to aróuse myself before my husband comes in (because it takes me ages to get aróused) than the use of séx toys. Which one do you think is appropriate? I was shopping online for séx toys and came across a site that seems very knowledgeabl. There, they say the only safe kind of séx toy to use is silicone. They claim that most séx toys have cancer-causing ingredients. Are there dangers of getting cancer from using séx toys?

These and many more are the questions many clients have asked me over the years as regard the object of séx toys.

A séx toy or ádult toy is an object or device that is primarily used to facilitate human séxual pleasure, such as a dildó or vibrátor, rings etc. Many popular séx toys are designed to resemble human génitals and are vibráting or non-vibráting, colourful or just natural and intended to stimulaté the body. They come in a range of shapes, sizes, for internal or external use. Some researchers says that 41 percent of couples have used some form of séx toys during foréplay, and up to 29 per cent of couples have used one during intercóurse. People who have séx regularly use séx toys more than those who aren’t, and between 20-30 per cent of people have used séx toys at least once in their lives. The séx toys industry makes a lot of money due to popular demand all over the globe.

This means people who use séx toys are not faceless as everyone and anyone you can imagine is the kind of person who can or may use séx toys. Many couples want to know if using séx toys can transform their séx lives from the ordinary to the extraordinary. Séx toys are not the best teachers or a cure-all for séx between couples. They are additional aids to séxual satisfaction. Many couples who have experimented with these devices see séx toys as a great way of adding stimulátion and éxcitement to their séx lives. 

 

Some even claim these toys boost the chances of them having good órgasms through intercóurse. So séx toys are not only for people who have a bad séx life, or no séx life; séx toys are just for added stimulátion, éxcitement and pleasure. As much as there may not be anything harmful about the usage (as long as they’re used in a mature way and properly within the marriage union), séx toys can become addictive. It is well known that addiction implies harm, when solidly relied upon. Of course, prolonged use of séx toys makes séx less natural.

Some couples who for one reason or the other have a long distance relationship want to know if séx toys can actually replace their spouses for the main time or for life. For the main time, yes (if this is inevitable and the only reasonable option). This is still better than ádultery or unfaithfulness in marriage. But for a lifetime, no séx toy should not be a replacement for your partner. A séx toy won’t make you breakfast, have urges or cuddle you. It won’t tell you how much it loves you. Many spouses are struggling to get their position back with their partners. Some have become confused and believe that the most important thing about them is what’s between their légs.

Some séx toys do pose obvious risks of damage or harm to the génitalia. A study on HIV-positive users of séx toys in the United States says such partners easily infect their spouses. Studies also show that some of these devices could be toxic. The composition of some séx toys makes them allergic in nature and can cause irritation and skin infection. When users are exposed to very large doses, such toxic items can cause damage to the liver, lungs, kidneys, testes. They can also cause hórmonal disruption, upset the body’s ability to regulate hórmone production, damage reproduction, can also possibly cause cancer.
