"I
have recently moved into my first flat after always living at
home. I don't have a boyfriend but I have a really high sex-drive
which I keep fed by masturbating a couple of times a day. At
home it had to be fingers as there was little privacy to be
had and nowhere to hide anything personal. Now I feel freer
to experiment and intend to try some sex toys - partly for what
they could do for me and partly because I know just having something
that has been taboo for all my life will be an exquisite turn-on.
The only problem is where to start. I don't have huge amounts
of cash to spend and I really don't want to waste any on rubbish.
Any advice please?"

Sex
toys are a matter of personal preference. What is an ideal play
thing for one is a cheap gimmick in the eyes of another. For
this reason the final choices have to be down to you as you
are the one that has to find the things a turn-on. This said
there are some general pointers that we can give.
1.
Remember that a lot of Far Eastern toys, especially those that
vibrate, are more novelty items and don't have the quality needed
to be a real winner. They may be cheap but they may be discarded
rather quickly too.
2.
For insertable items be realistic about the size!. The jumbo
sizes my look fun but too big means uncomfortable to use.
3.
Battery toys tend to be weaker than mains powered items.
4.
Rubber is not easy to keep hygienic. Silicone and hard plastic
are better.
5.
So much about sex play and especially masturbation is in the
head. Pick toys that you find interesting (color, shape and
even name can be important).
6.
There is no safety/quality standard on toys so protect yourself
and think before you buy about sharp or hard items that could
injure you, things that may lose parts when in use/inside, things
that could be impossible to keep clean and so may harbor germs,
or items that could cause electric shocks.
7.
Always buy from a reputable source such as the toy store here
at Clitical.
If
it is of any assistance my suggestions for a beginners tool-set
would be: a solid hand dildo of modest size so as to allow easy
and rapid (when needed) movement; a battery powered vibrating
egg type toy; a mains massager (Hitachi Magic Wand if possible);
and some sexy undies to make the mood right.
PS.
My first commercial sex toy was a 7" red hand dildo that
has lovely knobbles on the front of the shaft. It has seen me
through 10 years of play and though it is now only one of several
I own, it still turns me on enough to see service at least once
a week
