Choosing your first sex toy: a buyer's guide and methods for beginners 💪
Discovering new sensations, boosting confidence, or simply spicing up your sex life, whether alone or with a partner: the first sex toy has never been so accessible. Yet, many men remain hesitant, due to a lack of clear information, reliable guidance, or simply because of the weight of taboos.
This ONY guide is for you: to give you the right reflexes, remove the obstacles and lay the foundations for a successful first experience, supported by the guidance of an expert.
Why take the plunge with your first sex toy? 🌟
In 2017, 48% of French people reported having used a sex toy at some point in their lives, according to an IFOP study [1]. This percentage was only 7% in 1992... The media are talking about a spectacular boom; things are changing, and customs are evolving! How about you? Are you tempted?
Opening the door to the first sex toys is above all about listening to your curiosity, daring to test what masturbation and pleasure can offer differently: new sensations, discovery of new erogenous zones, better self-knowledge... The benefits are as varied as they are customizable.
Investing in your first sex toy is also about breaking free from stereotypes, embracing your desires, and giving yourself a real moment for yourself, away from the gaze of others or the pressure to perform. Much more than a simple accessory, a well-chosen sex toy becomes an ally for well-being and fulfillment, whether it's to boost your pleasure alone or add a playful and intimate touch to your sex life as a couple.
Simply put, daring to try your first sex toy means placing your pleasure at the heart of your intimate life. The key? Taking the time to understand your desires and needs, and above all, progressing at your own pace, without any hang-ups. So, ready to rewrite your pleasure story?
Understanding your desires to better satisfy them
Choosing your first sex toy is, above all, an inner journey. Before taking the plunge, take the time to reflect on what truly attracts you, without filters or judgment. It all starts with listening to your desires and respecting your own pace.
Overcome your apprehensions and listen to your true desires.
Openly discussing sex toys, without embarrassment or reservation, is already a giant step towards greater freedom and fulfillment . Many men initially feel a slight apprehension: fear of being judged, of deviating from norms, or of damaging their masculinity. Don't worry, these feelings are common and perfectly normal. They shouldn't prevent the desire for novelty and pleasure from being expressed.
Dare to follow your desires to the end, beyond the clichés .
Choosing your first sex toy means opening yourself up to new sources of pleasure and getting to know yourself better, without pressure. This relaxed approach can transform your view of masturbation, boost your confidence, and even strengthen the bond with your partner.
Ask yourself honestly : what sensations appeal to you? The softness of silicone, the discretion of a sleek design, the idea of a small and compact accessory? Asking yourself these questions is the key to choosing an object that reflects your personality and will bring real added value to your daily life.
Define your expectations: solo pleasure, exploration or complicity as a couple?
Clarify your goals before choosing your first sex toy : are you looking to intensify your solo pleasure? To rekindle desire with a partner? To experience something new or simply satisfy your curiosity? This reflection will put you on the path to the ideal model.
If you are aiming for personal pleasure, opt for manual masturbators, or accessories specifically designed for penis stimulation.
For playing together, opt for sex toys designed for sharing and intimacy: vibrating rings, connected stimulators with a remote control and all the accessories to use together, there are many!
Clearly identify what motivates you and experience this first purchase as a moment of fulfillment: without inhibition and in accordance with your desires. This is how you take the first step towards a more confident, richer, and unconstrained sexuality.
The main types of sex toys for beginners
Opening the door to pleasure with your first sex toy means accepting the discovery of a world as rich as it is stimulating. Before diving in, it's best to know what to expect: each category of sex toy offers different sensations and uses. Let's take a look, with a kind and understanding perspective, at the options best suited to beginners.
Sex toys for men: vagina sleeve, automatic masturbator, P-spot stimulator: find your match
For their first purchase of a male sex toy , most men choose the manual masturbator, more commonly known as a vagina sleeve. This sex toy faithfully reproduces the sensation of penetration, offering an immersive and ultra-realistic experience. Modern models, such as the Nomad or Pure vagina sleeves by ONY, combine ergonomics, softness, and discretion, allowing men to explore pleasure with complete peace of mind.
Looking to take things to the next level? Automatic masturbators take the experience to a whole new level. Thanks to automated internal movements and varied stimulation, they offer unprecedented sensations and allow you to focus solely on discovering pleasure, hands-free and without constraints. The ONY Exa One perfectly embodies this new wave of male accessories.
For those looking to awaken new erogenous zones, the P-spot (prostate) stimulator opens the door to prostate orgasm. This sex toy targets the prostate, a source of powerful and often unsuspected sensations. The ONY Explo stimulator, for example, combines targeted vibrations and oscillations to guide those curious and uninhibited toward a richer sexuality.
Choosing your first male sex toy depends on your curiosity, your comfort level, and what you want to experience: gentleness, realism, experimentation, or intensity? Always prioritize soft materials, impeccable hygiene, and a functional design for a healthy, comfortable, and lasting experience.
Sex toys for couples: cock rings, connected toys and more
Pleasure for two takes on a new dimension with sex toys for couples. The penis ring (or cock ring) remains a reliable choice: it prolongs erections, intensifies sensations, and can provide pleasure for both partners. The ONY Pulse One, with its remote control, combines secure fit, targeted stimulation, and ease of use, perfect for those who want to enhance intimacy without any pressure.
The world of sex toys for couples doesn't end there. Among the must-haves are vibrating stimulators for use together, connected accessories that can be controlled remotely to heighten desire, and gels that amplify sensuality. These products are designed to help you explore, communicate, and enrich your intimate life, all while keeping the spirit of play alive.
The important thing is to test without hesitation what awakens your curiosity: explore together, talk, surprise each other… That’s the recipe for a fulfilled, close couple free from all barriers.
