Adult toys - a Guilty Pleasure or a Normal Occurrence!

"Don’t play with yourself!” This is a saying that far too many sensitive young children have heard repeatedly. When adolescents start to explore their bodies, it is repeatedly a cause of a lot of discomfort for their parents. Children start to think that their explorations are immoral or banned, and in severe incidents even feel their genitals are disgraceful. This is the establishment of the association between guilt and pleasure.

This is sadly not the end, but only the start. When apprehensive adolescents commence high school, they are at a phase where societal tolerance is dominant in their minds. It is genuinely important for them not to upset the applecart. At this stage, they are challenged by yet another social taboo - masturbation. It is generally unacceptable to talk about it. In fact, all healthy teenagers indulge. It is quite natural, but an apparently illicit subject. Myths and rumors abound about it's harms and prospective consequences and the youth are left lonely in a world crammed with questions and not a lot of answers.

In addition, they are surrounded by moral admonitions against promiscuity and pre-marital sex, not to point out the ever-present fear of STDs and uninvited pregnancies that repeatedly go hand-in-hand with such conduct.

All of this serves to entrench the relationship between sexual pleasure and guilt. Our sexuality is a gift, to be revelled in and explored. It is an an indispensable and inborn part of our being, and certainly not something that should cause shame. Unfortunately, talk regarding sexuality has been relegated to the margins of civil society. Sex in all its celebrated forms is clouded in a haze of misinformation and allusion. This is a distressing state of affairs. Even a half-century after the publication of Kinsey's groundbreaking studies on human sexuality, North American society remains disturbed by a nagging puritanism.

In hindsight, it is not hard to see why sextoys have such a tainted reputation. Up until about 10 years ago it was almost impossible to find a guidebook about them. They were fortunate to receive a two-page outline in sex manuals, if at all, which is scarcely the handling they are worthy of.

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

Sex toys are a absolutely healthy and natural way to elicit sexual pleasure and come to terms with your own sensuality. Society still dictates that they continue to be a guilty pleasure, not to mention an unmentionable one. This has begun to change in the media, which is eventually beginning to admit that sex toys do indeed exist ,and yes, people do use and take pleasure in 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.
