THE EROGENOUS ZONE: We have the technology

No matter who or what you are, you're in the dark if you don't own at least one vibrating sex toy. Whether you're a guy or a gal, gay or straight, these genius electronic gadgets were created with your intense pleasure in mind.
Everyone knows why women buy these things. There is a lot of stuff that needs to happen down there to get us off, so it's quite handy to have a tool to help. They are so damn good to us that we even throw parties in their honor and give them to each other as presents on birthdays and holidays. Haven't you guys ever wondered what you're missing out on?
Actually, let me rephrase that. Haven't you straight guys ever wondered what you're missing out on? I happen to know that the gay boys are hip to the battery-powered goodness (as they are to just about everything else). If you're one of the dudes still clueless about what these gems can do for you, prepare to be pleasantly surprised.
As you have probably already figured out, guys can use vibrators to satisfy themselves through anal play. The toy can be used to tease the anus externally or it can be inserted for powerful prostate stimulation. From what I hear, this causes some of the most intense orgasms that men are capable of having.
If you're still wary of sticking something up your ass to get off, I would advise you to get over it immediately. You can either waste your time forming opinions and prejudices against something, or you can indulge and enjoy the God-given pleasure of it all. It doesn't make you gay or any less of a man. If anything, it makes you an orgasmic individual, and honestly, what the hell is wrong with that?
Still, there are other less invasive ways for men to experience the benefits of vibrators. You can knead the toy into your gooch (that area between the scrotum and the anus) for some less intense prostate action. Or simply turn the vibe on low speed and see how it feels against your scrotum and penis. Just like women, men can have a grand time just finding out what feels good.
If you're already a convert to the fabulous ways of vibrators, cheers to you. But why not take it a little further? There's always the option of a toy upgrade, and of course, there's no such thing as having too many vibrators.
I personally have a toolbox large enough to allow me to do basically anything I want. There is definitely something to that old saying: having the right tool for the job makes all the difference.
First and foremost, there's the essential all-purpose vibe. It's usually about 6-8 inches in length with a medium width, making it perfect for everyone. In a pinch or based on your preference, this goodie can be used for almost anything. Clit stimulation, G-spot access, or anal action are all possibilities.
If you're in the mood for something absolutely filling, why not try a double penetrator? This generally features a moderately sized penis-shaped dildo and a graduated bead butt plug on a handle that houses the vibration device. I love mine because not only does it supply that filled-to-the-brim feeling, but it also massages the G-spot from both sides, guaranteeing one hell of a finish.
One toy that the ladies absolutely love is often referred to as "the rabbit." The shaft is usually thicker than most others, and the smooth rounded tip is curved upwards for ideal g-spot stimulation. On the top side, there is a soft double-pronged clit flicking device that usually forms the ears of a rabbit (or fitting characteristics of a number of other animals, including beavers or dolphins).
The great thing about the rabbit is that it supplies everything most women need to achieve a great big orgasm. Plus, if you're able to clench the toy between your thighs the right way, you can pleasure yourself completely hands-free. The rabbits run a lot pricier than other simpler models, but I can assure you, every dime spent is well worth it.
If you're looking for a great toy store, I'd recommend Adam and Eve (I'm a big fan). You can check out the store at 2500 Spring Garden or do your browsing at AdamEve.com or AdamMale.com (for the boy toys). If you get on their mailing list, you can get great deals and some free stuff too.
And of course, make sure to wash all toys properly and use plenty of lube (especially for anything anal). Happy buzzing!
