How To Choose The Best Sex Toys For Beginners

When looking for a great sex toy, first, decide what type of stimulation you want. Use your naughty nimble fingers to do some research: during masturbation, try teasing different erogenous zones and check out what feels best. Do you prefer external stimulation, vaginal, or a combo of the two? Stroking the whole penis, the penis head or maybe massaging the prostate? Once you distinguish your “zones of interest," narrow down your search to a particular category of sex toys to target your "favorite" pleasure zones.
