Adult toys - a Guilty Pleasure or a Accepted Fact!

"Don’t play with yourself!” This is a turn of phrase that many sensitive young kids have heard so many times. When young people begin to notice their bodies, it is frequently a cause of a good deal of discomfort for their parents. Youngsters get the impression that their explorations are terrible or banned, and in severe examples even think their genitals are appalling. This is the start of the relationship between guilt and pleasure.

This is unfortunately not the end, but only the start. When self-doubting youngsters commence high school, they are at a juncture where social approval is overriding in their minds. It is really crucial for them not to upset the applecart. At this stage, they are challenged by yet another societal taboo - masturbation. It is generally unacceptable to talk about it. In truth, all healthy teenagers indulge. It is quite ordinary, but an ostensibly forbidden subject. Myths and rumors are plentiful about it's evils and would-be consequences and the young people are left deserted in a world filled with questions and not loads of answers.

In addition, they are surrounded by moral admonitions against promiscuity and pre-marital sex, not to mention the ever-present fear of STDs and unasked for pregnancies that often go hand-in-hand with such behavior.

All of this serves to ingrain the correlation between sexual pleasure and guilt. Our sexuality is a gift, to be revelled in and explored. It is an a key and inherent part of our being, and definitely not something that should bring about indignity. Sadly, discussion vis-à-vis sensuality has been relegated to the margins of polite society. Sex in all its magnificent forms is clouded in a haze of misinformation and undertone. This is a heartbreaking state of affairs. Even a half-century after the publication of Kinsey's groundbreaking studies on human sexuality, North American society remains haunted by a nagging puritanism.

Looking back, it is not hard to see why sextoys have such a dirtied name. Up until about 10 years ago it was just about impossible to find a guidebook about them. They were fortunate to receive a two-page synopsis in sex manuals, if at all, which is scarcely the treatment they warrant.

In several ways, the tolerance of adult toys is the concluding step to complete sexual openness which, in turn, is the opening step to totally experiencing the gift of our own sensuality. Contraception, homosexuality, masturbation are today more acceptable subjects of dialogue than they once were, but mention the word "vibrator" and you are sure to elicit embarrassed giggles from those around you. Isn't it time that this changed?

Sex toys are a wholly healthy and normal way to elicit sexual gratification and come to terms with your own sexuality. Society still dictates that they continue to be a guilty pleasure, not to mention an unmentionable one. This has begun to alter in the media, which is ultimately beginning to acknowledge that sextoys do indeed exist ,and yes, people do use and get pleasure from them. From Citizen Ruth to Sex And The City, sex toys are slowly gaining acceptance. Let's help the trend along it's way. Let go of the guilt, mention the unmentionable and go play and have fun.
