The democratization of sex toys
It is clear that in recent years both the types of sex toys available on the market and the public that has access to them have changed enormously.
If, until a few years ago, the world of erotic toys was confined to shops located in more or less hidden or discreet places to which only lonely men had access, the advent of in-store sales and the enhancement of women's sexuality with intimate toys designed specifically for them have been a real revolution.
The orgasm business
The phenomenon of the widespread use of sex toys is also produced by a medical and cultural context that assumes the general good health of each person.
Thus, we have moved from repression and obscurantism to a social perspective that improves the health of the individual by considering orgasm as a health promoter.
In this way we no longer talk so much about male, female, heterosexual or homosexual sexuality, but rather about individual sexuality. It doesn't matter how or with whom you interact, whether you have a stable partner or not, or what your sexual orientation is. All of this is secondary to the goal of achieving a healthy balance of individual sexuality, however it is expressed.
Toys for all
In this context, and although, in order to facilitate access to Internet sites, we often find toys classified as intended for women, lesbians, etc... the truth is that the use of toys, in many cases, will depend on our personal tastes and current motivations.
Sex toys like the vibrator are obviously aimed at people with clitorises, but their use and contextualization is something very personal. For example, there are many toys that can be presented as traditionally lesbian-friendly, such as double dildos, but which can also be used alone or in heterosexual relationships.
Sex toys for couple bonding
Little is said about the role of sex toys in long-standing couples who have lost their spark through routine and familiarity.
This is perhaps the context in which their use has been least researched and is currently evolving the most. Couples need innovation because humans are designed to get bored with repetition and need new stimuli to get excited again.
Often, the simple act of visiting an online sex shop together from home allows the couple to share a different moment and discover each other's reactions, which can be very surprising.
In short, the widespread use of erotic toys seems to be here to stay, expanding its market and its goals, and growing naturally within the population. All this takes place in a cultural context that values sex, including it in the context of health and relaxation, in the context of individual quality of life and the well-being of the couple's intimacy.
