There is an increasing trend in Canada of older women buying sex toys. Many women in their 60’s, 70’s and beyond are still very much interested in sex, buying vibrators, dildos and sensuous toys in record numbers. Sex toys are a smart way to explore your sexual potential, discover new sensations or simply enjoy more pleasure, whether you are going solo or with a partner.
Kegel Exercises
In order to get the full enjoyment of a sex toy, it may be necessary to do exercises to tone up your vaginal muscles. The more you use your sexual parts, the better they will work and the more lubrication your body will create. If you have given birth vaginally in the past, your muscles may have loosened some and not repaired themselves on their own. If you have had urinary incontinence or a prolapsed uterus in the past, then you may have already learned about the value of Kegel exercises in strengthening your muscles. Many helpful products (e.g., hula beads, kegel exercisers, jade eggs) are available on the market.
Vibrators
When buying a toy for pleasure, a toy that vibrates is a natural place for a woman to start with. A vibrating toy that rests up against your vagina will tickle and pleasure you without seeming invasive. If the toy is intended to be inserted, you can still try it without insertion. There is no right or wrong with a sex toy and rather what’s important is that you get more comfortable with it. Keep in mind that a vibrator is intended to stimulate never endings. With age, we may need more stimulation to achieve the same sensation. Also, a strong vibrator (or shower-head) can help a tired or arthritic hand.
Vibrators are considered to be fantastic devices that can make many women feel ecstatic. They come in all types of shapes and sizes and be battery operated or run on electrical power, depending on the type and make.
Dildos
Another toy you may have heard lots about is a dildo. A dildo is a phallic sex toy without vibration that is meant for penetration. Dildos were more popular before electric vibrators were created, though they still have functionality. They take the performance pressure off of a man, who may feel anxiety about being able to have and sustain an erection. A woman can get the rhythmic vaginal stimulation she might need to reach vaginal or cervical orgasm.
G-spot & Other Toys
G-spot toys are easy to identify as they have a gentle curving tip. Several other toys are available in local sex shop stores or bigger chains, like The Love Shop or Aren’t We Naughty. Expert advice and how-to guides are also available online.
Lubricants
Good quality manufactured lubricant should also be purchased for use with certain toys.
Other Items to Consider
Other items, besides lubricants, that often go with the purchase of a sex toy are fiction books and DVDs, like “Fifty Shades of Grey” and non-fiction books and DVDs, like “how to orgasm,” and “how to massage.”
Benefits of Sex Toys for Women
Given that the body changes after 50, adding toys to your sexual life can be practical and helpful in accommodating these physiological changes in women. Sex toys can enable singles to have regular sex and satisfaction and they can revitalize the sex life you have with your partner, opening up the relationship to exploration that is unlimited by your imagination.
