Sex Toys

Lifestyle Glossary · sexual-wellness

Sex toys are objects designed for adult sexual pleasure or sensation. They may be used alone or with a partner, and they range widely in purpose, material, and intensity. A toy is an optional tool rather than a standard everyone is expected to enjoy or use.

When a toy is introduced with another person, ask before assuming interest and make room for a clear no. Consent, straightforward discussion of preferences, and attention to product information are more useful than treating a purchase as a substitute for connection. Safer sex conversations can also include shared hygiene and comfort decisions.
