Things People Use to Masturbate (and Why You Shouldn't)

You shouldn't utilize commonplace, random objects to get off just because you can. We've heard of some intriguing ways that folks masturbate and provide better alternatives.

I'm all for exercising artistic license, but I don't want any unintentional setbacks to interfere with my climax when it comes to masturbation. I'm trying to say that you shouldn't use random, commonplace objects to get off just because you can.

These ten objects are used for masturbation, albeit they shouldn't be. Under "The More You Know," file this. (And give me credit later.)

Popsicles

"Anything's a dildo if you're brave enough?" is a well-known statement. Well, no. Sunny Rodgers, a professional sex coach and clinical sexologist, has heard numerous accounts of people using popsicles as masturbation devices. It may appear innocent and sweet, but it's not.

According to Rodgers, "putting a frozen popsicle on sensitive skin can result in an ice burn, but sugar should never come in contact with a vagina because it can cause infections." Aww. When the water in the skin's cells freezes, an ice burn results. Additionally, utilizing popsicles for penetration masturbation increases the risk of this injury.

Chemical and Fragrance-Loaded Lotions

Jennifer T. Haley, a board-certified dermatologist, frequently treats male patients who use chemical- and fragrance-laden lotions for masturbation and get irritating contact dermatitis, which is comparable to what happens if you submerge your hand in bleach. Haley suggests using fragrance-free coconut or sunflower oil instead because getting a rash on your junk can be unsightly and quite uncomfortable.

A Wooden Hairbrush

Except for premium wooden sex toys that are appropriately treated, anything made of wood has several potentially unpleasant effects. It might break. Splintering is typical in wood, regardless of how smooth it appears. " Especially with excessive manual friction," adds My First Blush's resident sex expert and relationship counselor, Laurel House. " The thought of having a splinter stuck in my vagina is unthinkable! Nobody wants to entice you with such pain because of the quantity of nerve endings inside of you.

The delayed consequence of airborne or hand-delivered bacteria that can cause painful and dangerous yeast infections or urinary tract infections is more hazardous than a splinter. According to House, "Wood naturally sucks in anything that is placed on it." Therefore, there's a good chance that bacteria that cause infections will infest the handle of your wooden hairbrush if you handle it with unclean hands or if it's next to a toilet that's flushed without the seat down. You run the risk of transference if you put that item within your warm, moist vagina. However, you won't be able to attribute your infection to the brush until a few days have passed. The best course of action? Keep cosmetic products and wooden objects away from your vaginal and anal openings.

A Vibrating Toothbrush

According to House, there is a significant distinction between this vibrator and others that are vaginally designed: the toothbrush enters your mouth. The pointy spots where the toothbrush is attached to the handle and the buttons are another problem, in addition to the potential for plaque or bacteria that have been removed from your teeth to remain on the brush. However, what if you decide to use the brush handle's bottom? Mold and germs frequently gather there, according to House. That is not something you want within yourself. Gross, eww.

If you are adamant about using an electric toothbrush for masturbation, you could always purchase a spare just for that use. Even better, try out the brand-new LELO Dot. Dot, LELO's newest product, gives exact pleasure. This toy's most distinctive feature is its Infinite™ Loop Technology, which oscillates continuously like a figure-eight. To elicit several orgasms, apply it to your clit. Or make elliptical circles around the nipples with the soft silicone tip. Perhaps run it over your partner's delicate neck. This toy is incredibly adaptable and may be used in many ways. Your enjoyment, whether alone or with a companion, is only constrained by your imagination, depending on the angle, pressure, and position.

Bathtub or Jacuzzi Jets

Many Vulva owners like to get off using water jets since they are powerful, effective, and entirely clit-focused. However, it's impossible to determine how frequently or if the jets are being adequately cleansed. While it's not the worst choice, it's also not the best. Rosario advises against taking the chance of acquiring bacteria in your vagina.

Choose a waterproof sex toy instead if you want to have passionate moments in the tub.

An Electric Razor

More often than she can remember, relationship specialist Angela Rosario of TooTimid.com has heard accounts of people getting shaved with electric razors. She queries whether placing something with a motorized blade near a private space is worthwhile. " Why take the chance of getting cut? Razors indeed vibrate, but not sufficiently to rival real vibrators.

Foods

Hot dogs and other things become lodged in the vaginas of many people each year, requiring them to visit the emergency room. People naturally assume they will work if they are in the proper shape. However, a great deal of risk is involved, including allergic responses, infection, and even losing the thing up there. According to Hall, using condoms to wrap food isn't the solution. She suggests that "foods should never go in the nether regions".

"Nether regions" do indeed include buttholes. A toy must have a flared base that is wider than the remainder of the toy to be considered anal-safe. Nothing can be emphasized enough: avoid putting anything—such as a body-safe prostate massager—into your butt.

Your O can reach new heights when you use an anal vibrator in your sexual life. HUGO is a strong, easy-to-use vibrator for those who are new to prostate play. You can locate your P-spot both indoors and out with this ergonomic toy. Your tush will appreciate it, we assure you.

Cell Phone Vibrations

Alright, this one ought to be relatively straightforward. Rosario advises, "Consider the amount of bacteria on your phone." Essentially, your phone is cleaner than a toilet seat and a haven for germs. Is it worth getting E. coli for an orgasm? Alternatively, consider this: Would you want to put something on your face after pressing it on your junk? Although these buzzers are sometimes faint, you can use them outside your clothing. Instead, get yourself a committed feeling.

A Banana

Food was already discussed, but merits its section since it's so prevalent.

Although the banana's form is perfect for insertion, House points out neither end of a banana peel is smooth and spherical. Because of their rigidity, the top and bottom can easily cut and bleed inside you. You might not notice the tearing that is taking place in the heat of the moment, but you might like the in-and-out stimulation. According to House, the suffering will start once the enjoyment is done.

The Vacuum Cleaner

A vacuum can sound like an interesting gadget for your fun parts, and you wouldn't be the first to think so. Although all that suction could seem alluring, according to psychotherapist and relationship expert Antonia Hall, author of The Ultimate Guide to a Multi-Orgasmic Life, using the vacuum nozzle for sex can cause significant harm or perhaps an embarrassing trip to the emergency room. Imagine blood vessel and skin damage, and a complicated cleanup after the glow. No thanks, I guess.

The LELOO Sila's air pulse technology provides a fascinating approach to benefit from moving air sensations if you wish to do it safely. To be familiar with clitoral suction toys is to be in love with them (IYKYK), and the Sila offers continuous, smooth stimulation.

Sila's smooth, wide mouth suits a variety of genital sizes, unlike some clit suction toys with smaller mouths. For FTM transsexual people with bottom growth, it is particularly effective. Sila is the closest thing to oral sex without damaging your mouth because of contactless air wave technology. However, it's a very different matter if your vagina can handle all the orgasms.

Don't DIY Sex Toys

Even while a homemade sex toy might seem appealing, some things are better left unmade. Purchase a genuine (and secure) sex toy for yourself if you want to stop. Additionally, several websites will send your lovely LELO plaything in a plain box to your door if you're too embarrassed to shop in person.

High-quality sex toys are more enjoyable and safer than possibly dangerous ones. Our recommendations are some of the best available—much better than a toothbrush! One of them should work for you, depending on the kind of pleasure you want.

We support artistic avenues for enjoyment, but not at the expense of grave injury. Simply said, it's not worth it.
