The biggest myth is that many people think their is something
wrong with them if they are interested in sex toys, often they
feel "dirty". Nothing can be farther from the truth.
Their is nothing wrong with using sex toys to bring more pleasure
to your love life!
I believe allot of this worry comes from old society views that
are still carried by some members of society. It is good that
society in general is moving forward however and these almost
"medieval" pressures are diminishing everyday.
Sex toys can bring a great new closeness to your relationship
when both partners are happy and comfortable using them. And ofcouse
the potential increased pleasure for you and your partner should
easily outway and small concerns you may have.

about buying an adult toy, now their is no need to go into a store
in your town or city where you may be worried about being recognized.

Common myths that your partner might say to you include:
"If you want to use sex toys then you must think/feel that
I must be sexually inadequate."
You will have to use a little T.L.C. (tender loving care) to
get your partner past this thought. Take some time out to stroke
their ego and share your real reasons for wanting to use sex toys.
Remind them that it is normal to masturbate and yet there are
still a lot of things that sex toys are unable to do that you
really enjoy having your partner do for you.
"You might become addicted to using sex toys and then you
won't be able to reach an orgasm without them."
Of course this is possible, after all, you can become addicted
to any form of
stimulation. However, like all addictions, it is also possible
to break this habit or head it off before it even begins. The
key here is to keep your sex life fresh by experimenting with
new positions, toys and activities.
"Using a vibrator might damage my vagina."
Actually this is not true. In fact, studies have shown that using
a vibrator can be beneficial to women who are undergoing menopause
or having a difficult time reaching an orgasm.
"We're normal people . . . We shouldn't be using sex toys."
Nothing could be further from the truth! Whenever you look at
a survey, you will notice that it is mainly normal people (i.e.
doctors, lawyers, housewives, teachers) who use sex toys.
"Sex toys are only used for masturbating with."
Of course this is their common usage, but they're also great
for foreplay. A lot of couples also enjoy using toys in order
to reaffirm and deepen their relationships.
In the end, remember that whether you're buying, or considering
buying, a sex toy it's a good idea to consider the feelings of
your partner. Not only is this respectful but it is also necessary
since you don't want your partner to think that they are no longer
sexually satisfying your needs.
After all, your relationship is a partnership and thus both of
you must reach a
decision that is right for the two of you. If you and your partner
should happen to conclude that using sex toys is not right, you
can still use them whenever you're alone.
