Vibrators and Other Sex Toys Are Commonly Recommended to Patients, but Does Size Matter? Dimensions of Commonly Sold Products 641 Vibrators and Other Sex Toys are Commonly Recommended to Patients, But Does Size Matter? Dimensions of Commonly Sold Products Debby Herbenick, PhD, MPH,* Kathryn J. Barnhart, MPH,* Karly Beavers, † and Stephanie Benge, MS* *Center for Sexual Health Promotion, School of Public Health, Indiana University, Bloomington, IN, USA; †California State University, Monterey Bay, CA, USA DOI: 10.1111/jsm.12798 ABSTRACT Introduction. Vibrators and dildos are commonly used by women and men in the United States, and are increasingly recommended by clinicians. In addition, sex toys and various household objects are sometimes used for sexual stimulation in ways that pose health risks to their users. Data about the dimensions of such products may inform clinicians’ recommendations. Aim. The purpose of the present study was to assess the sizes (length and circumference) of vibrators and dildos marketed for vaginal or anal insertion on websites that sell sexual enhancement products. Methods. Eight websites that sell sexual enhancement products were identified for inclusion in the study. The dimensions of vaginal vibrators and dildos listed for sale on each website were noted, and descriptive data were calculated for each website. Main Outcome Measures. Product length and circumference (mean, median, and range). Results. Popular sex toy distributers offer a variety of product sizes. The length of many vibrators and dildos was sized between 4 and 6 in, and circumference was between 4 and 5 in. However, some companies featured products of a considerably larger size than others. Conclusion. Length and circumference of vibrators and dildos varied, but on average approximated mean penile dimensions. Clinicians’ recommendations for use of vaginal or anal products can be enhanced by familiarity and offering additional information about product sizes and retailers.

(ISSN: 1095-5143) The version of record is available from http://www.springer.com (September 2001) Women’s Sex-Toy Parties: Technology, Orgasm, and Commodification Martha McCaughey and Christina French ABSTRACT: This article presents participant-observation research from five female-only sex- toy parties. We situate the sale of sex toys in the context of in-home marketing to women, the explosion of a sex industry, and the emergence of lifestyle and body politics. We explore the significance of sex toys for women as marketed in female-only contexts, paying particular attention to the similarities and differences with Tupperware’s marketing of plastic that promises happiness to women. We argue that sex-toy sales follow the exact patterns of Tupperware sales but, since the artifacts sold are for the bedroom rather than the kitchen, foster an even greater sense of intimacy between the women— which has both positive and negative consequences for thinking critically about the commodification of sexuality, bodies, and lifestyles in our capitalist culture. Vibrators and other sex toys constitute the technological route to a self- reflexive body project of female orgasm. We ask to what extent such a body project, achieved primarily through an individualistic, capitalistic consumption model, can offer a critique of

  • Erotica Menu: Ideas for Alternatives to Traditional
    OHSU Program in Vulvar Health Erotica Menu Suggestions for Exploring Intimacy Without Pain Vulvar and vulvovaginal pain affect each woman and her sexuality differently. Some of you have not been able to feel or behave sexually for some time, and you may fear that you have lost your ability to do so. Part of your recovery from your pain is to (re)build your sexual and relationship confidence. We therefore encourage you to consider the kinds of relationship activities and ideas below as part of your treatment for your vulvar symptoms. Vaginal and penetrative intercourse is only one way of being sexual. And, although it is the behavior that most of us consider to be “having sex,” it is often not the most sexually gratifying activity for women. When you have vulvar pain, intercourse can become impossible. Although facing this can be difficult, it can also be an excellent opportunity for women and couples to find out what else they might like to do together that can help them to restore and/or maintain sexual and physical intimacy in their relationship. And for those of you not in relationships, it can be a time to learn a lot about what your own body enjoys and desires. In the spirit of exploration and pleasure enhancement for you and your partner (if you have one), we offer the following “menu.” Some of these activities are genitally/sexually focused, others are not. Please use them as guides and experiments. The list is not exhaustive and we encourage you to use the books, websites and other resources contained in these suggestions in order to further your own sexual research.

  • Keeping It Safe- a Sexual and Reproductive Health Guide for Same-Sex-Attracted Women
    Keeping It Safe- A sexual and reproductive health guide for same-sex-attracted women ConsentSafer Sex Let’s talk about sex… familyplanning.org.nz Penetration Keeping It Safe- This resource is for women who have sex with women; occasionally, regularly or are just thinking about it. The focus is on cis-women (women who were born with female reproductive systems and genitals), although transmen (or cis-women who have sex with transmen) may also find parts of this resource useful. It aims to provide information to women who have sex with other women, regardless of their sexual identity (e.g. lesbian, queer, bisexual, gay, straight, butch, femme, dyke, or no expressed identity) or how that may change over time. It aims to help us make informed choices about our sexual practices whoever they may be with. It also aims to enable us to be assertive in dealing with health professionals. We acknowledge that same-sex attracted women have a wide range of different sexual experiences and desires. We have based this resource on the premise that the risks of sexually transmissible infections relate to behaviours not sexual orientation or sexual identity. 2 Keeping It Safe Let’s talk about sex… Let’s talk about sex… Communicating about sex is important, whether you are in a long–term monogamous relationship, specialise in a series of one night stands, or are somewhere and anywhere in between. Talking about sex can be embarrassing for many women, but it’s essential in checking out what is safe and comfortable, physically and emotionally. Negotiating our sexual practices can be both empowering and downright sexy.

Texas comes true, Texas, Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, Kansas, and Colorado may no longer be able to forbid the sale of vibrators, dildos, and other "sex toys" within their borders. These states have enacted legislation to inhibit activity in the sex toys market. 2 Under the now discredited Bowers v. Hardwick, which upheld t Professor of Law, Thomas Jefferson School of Law.

I would like to thank Joel Bergsma, Julie Greenberg, Kenneth Vandevelde, and Ellen Waldman for their helpful comments and consistent encouragement and support, Dorothy Hampton for her tireless retrieval of research materials, and Marjorie Antoine for her valuable research assistance. 1. Lawrence v. Texas, 123 S. Ct. 2472, 2490 (2003) (Scalia, J., dissenting). Justice Scalia noted in his Lawrence dissent that: Countless judicial decisions and legislative enactments have relied on the ancient proposition that a governing majority's belief that certain sexual behavior is "immoral and unacceptable" constitutes a rational basis for regulation. See, e.g., Williams v. Pryor, 240 F.3d 944, 949 (I1th Cir. 2001) (citing Bowers [v. Hardwick, 478 U.S. 186, 196 (1986)], in upholding Alabama's prohibition on the sale of sex toys on the ground that "[t]he crafting and safeguarding of public morality... indisputably is a legitimate government interest under rational basis scrutiny."). 2.

    JOURNAL OF MEDICAL INTERNET RESEARCH Döring et al Review Design, Use, and Effects of Sex Dolls and Sex Robots: Scoping Review Nicola Döring, Prof Dr; M Rohangis Mohseni, Dr; Roberto Walter, MA Institute of Media and Communication Science, Ilmenau University of Technology, Ilmenau, Germany Corresponding Author: Nicola Döring, Prof Dr Institute of Media and Communication Science Ilmenau University of Technology Ehrenbergstr. 29 Ilmenau, 98693 Germany Phone: 49 3677694703 Fax: 49 3677694645 Email: [email protected] Abstract Background: Although sex toys representing human body parts are widely accepted and normalized, human-like full-body sex dolls and sex robots have elicited highly controversial debates. Objective: This systematic scoping review of the academic literature on sex dolls and sex robots, the first of its kind, aimed to examine the extent and type of existing academic knowledge and to identify research gaps against this backdrop. Methods: A comprehensive multidisciplinary, multidatabase search strategy was used. All steps of literature search and selection, data charting, and synthesis followed the leading methodological guideline, the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) checklist. A total of 29 (17 peer reviewed) and 98 publications (32 peer reviewed) for sex dolls and sex robots, respectively, from 1993 to 2019 were included. Results: According to the topics and methodologies, the sex doll and sex robot publications were divided into 5 and 6 groups, respectively. The majority of publications were theoretical papers. Thus far, no observational or experimental research exists that uses actual sex dolls or sex robots as stimulus material.

  • How to Choose a Dildo 3
    To help you choose a dildo, answer these questions. (More information inside...) Use your answers to these questions to help you choose a dildo that will best meet your unique need for comfort and desire for pleasure. Although some people choose to share their dildos and cover them with condoms, most people find that they prefer certain shapes or materials and want to have a dildo of their very own. Having TWO or more dildos for different purposes (or partners) is OK, too! Dildos 1. How many fingers do you like having inside of you when you’re aroused ? ____ fingers 2. What length would you prefer? Longer: I want something easy to hold onto, with extra length I can choose whether or not to insert fully. ~why to use a dildo Medium long: something in the middle is just right. Shorter: I dislike deep penetration, and know that I will not need the extra length to hold on to. ~how to choose a dildo 3. Will you be using it for thrusting, filling, or internal massage? that’s right for you Thrusting (consider a silicone dildo with a moderate to firm consistency) Filling, and I prefer softer material (consider a flexible material such as soft silicone or elastomer) Filling, and I prefer firmer material (consider a firm silicone, lucite, glass, wood, or stainless steel dildo) Internal massage (consider a smooth, hard material such as lucite, glass, wood, or stainless steel) 4. Do you want lots of friction, or not as much friction? Lots, please (choose a more textured, ridged, or bumpy shape made from silicone) Not so much (choose a smooth surfaced dildo, and consider a low-friction material like lucite, glass or stainless steel) 5.

  • Interesting Facts About Your Favorite Sex Toys If You Are a Sex Toy User, You Certainly Enjoy Using Such Sex Toys As Dildos and Vibrators
    Interesting Facts about your Favorite Sex Toys If you are a sex toy user, you certainly enjoy using such sex toys as dildos and vibrators. The history of these sex toys is very amazing! Learn something more about your favorite sex toys. Dildos You certainly know that dildo is a device that imitates the appearance and functional characteristics of male genitalia. This implies that a dildo is an analogue of the penis. There is a great number of hypothesizes on where and when first devices intended to replace the penis appeared. The only thing is doubtless: first dildos appeared in antiquity. The oldest dildos that have been recently found in the territory of Germany were made 30000 years ago. Ancient dildos were made of stone, tar, wood and other material that is solid enough and could be shaped as the penis. Ancient Egyptians used dildos 2500 years ago. Also there is a Greek vase that was made in 5 century before Christ with a woman inserting a dildo in the mouth depicted on it. Simultaneously the woman is inserting the other dildo into the vagina. In China, in the 15th century women used dildos made of lacquered wood that has textured surface. For lesbian love, there was invented a double-headed dildo that was about 13 inches in length. This dildo could be used by two women simultaneously. Since the old days the phallus has been considered to be a symbol of power. That is why first dildos were used as sacred objects. However, with the course of time their role in sexual culture changed.
