Sex Toys for Beginners Part 5: Toys for Boys 2

Done playing with your Fleshlight and ready for some more tips? You got it. Let's jump right in.

Cockrings are another simple, yet effective toy. They can make orgasms more intense, increase sensitivity - and are helpful for guys who have problems keeping their erection or with premature ejaculation. (A few words of caution: use lube and don't wear one for longer than 20 minutes, tops.)

The next toy I recommend is actually the same one as I recommended for girls in this post - but with a little extra addition. You can actually buy custom cockrings of different shapes, sizes and textures, that actually have a loop designed to hold a bullet vibe (see above). This can be worn on the penis to stimulate both the shaft (and, depending where it's worn, even the testicles) and can be positioned to hit your lady's sweet spot at the same time!

Because you guys have a prostate (or "p-spot" - yes, you guys get cute names too), anal play is a whole different ball game (no pun intended) than it is for the ladies - and if you're open to it, it can be a lot of fun.

And last but not least, don't underestimate the enjoyment that can be had from using toys on your partner. I know some of you guys feel threatened by our toys - but don't worry NOTHING replaces good old fashioned fingers, tongues and, of course, penises. The toys are... like a little extra spice in the sauce. If you play with them with us, I guarantee you'll have fun too!

Sex Toys for Beginners Part 5: Toys for Boys 1

Toys aren't just for chicks. (I'm not talking about teddy bears here, but guys, if you just need something to cuddle, we won't judge.) There are plenty of toys for men out there - and some that are awesome for both men and women.

Like with women's toys, I suggest that you spend some time perusing the internet, looking at what different toy stores have, and see what types of toys are available. Research is always the first step.

The number one sex accessory I recommend for guys isn't actually a toy. It's lube. There are lots of different types out there - different consistencies and even some that warm up. If you're playing alone or with a partner, finding the right lube is an important first step.

Once you've got your favourite lube picked out, you can try a penis sleeve. Probably the most infamous is the Fleshlight, but there are all sorts of different shapes and sizes. They're usually made of silicone and have some sort of texture for extra stimulation. The Fleshlight actually adds suction into the mix, which is part of why it's the best-known of its class.

Now, go have fun with that, and I'll be back next week with some more fun tips for the fellas!

A Week of Sex: March 4-10

Okay, finally gonna do my best to catch up and get back to regular posting. I know, bad blogger. I've probably earned a spanking. Well, if you must... ;)

Here's the week in sex news:

• LovePalz, The Real-Time Virtual Sex Toy for Long-Distance Couples, Will Launch on March 29

Does this remind anyone else of that episode of The Big Bang Theory where Wallowitz and Kuthrapali try out a long-distance kissing device, and basically end up kissing each other? Well, it's kinda like that... but not for tongues. If you're in a geographically-challenged twosome, this might be one to check out!

• A New Study Says Sheryl Sandberg Is Wrong About Husbands And Sex

Okay, so I'm almost hesitant to write this, cos I don't want to discourage men from doing their fair share of housework... but remember that thing going around about how men who do more housework have more sex? Yeah, it's not true. Necessarily. You know, unless you have a wife who appreciates that sort of thing. Which a lot of us do. *Ahem.*
