Why are sex toys starting to be inclusive?

The question that one often has in mind is how does sex go from being good to damn amazing with just the addition of the toys. The answer lies in the fact that these toys often help achieve that extra zing. Not all transgender and nonbinary people are going to enjoy the same things,” says Corey More, a non-binary sex educator and sex worker based in New York. “We all have different bodies, different hot spots, and different preferences.” This is another aspect that makes sex toys so preferable to have. “A disconnect with your genitals means you also have a disconnect with sex,” says sex educator Buck Angel. “If you have never met or been intimate with a trans person, you might not know that if we are taking hormones, our genitals change. There were no products that were made to fit me. Some trans men do not take hormones, so they do not have growth, and some GNC people can go either way. That said, our genitals are usually something we have a hard time connecting to.”

“[Seeing] ‘trans’ on anything just makes you feel like you are cared for,” Angel explains. “A lot more shops are making sections for trans and GNC people, and this shows that they are hearing us.” Sex toys though introducing the fantasy aspect in the deed, are actually designed to make the process feel natural.

“Female sexuality is often regarded as two parts mystery and one part biology,” Lora Haddock DiCarlo, the founder and CEO of the startup Lora DiCarlo says. “That’s why we offer a biomimetic solution designed to simulate the best kinds of human touch. We use compliant materials that conform to an individual’s anatomy, very similar to the way we make prosthetics. We want it to be as human as possible, and the catalyst to the path for each individual’s sexual self-discovery.”

Now that the essence of the toys is clear, what do people have to say about them? We find out through these sex toy reviews!

"The sex toy finally got me to squirt!": Dianne

Honey, I absolutely needed this toy. I'm reaching my mid-thirties and I had never squirted in my life! Never! I know it is something I shouldn't be proudly declaring, but yea that was my scene. I was open to exploring my sexuality and I was on the lookout for someone who wished to do the same. Recently I had a colleague over for some fun and we decided to get it going. She too was all for trying new stuff. For me, sex has been a real space for exploring and experimenting and I was thrilled to discover you can almost get anything you are looking for in India! We had quite a great lesbian experience with the strap-on that we picked off from the famous Besharam website. Honestly, we were both so pro-sex toys that it has been quite a great ride. Trust me, there is nothing more fun than picking your own cock, we made a date out of it. From trying two toys at once to squirting multiple times in a night. I was really apprehensive about the price of the toy, but let me tell you my inhibitions were completely gone after I used it for the first time. It is a complete marvel of technology!

"The time the tux got itself some action": Susan (One of the craziest sex toy reviews!)

So, I had my first date with this adorable guy I swiped right on. When we met, he was wearing a suit. Now, I know guys get serious about dates sometimes and go overboard, but this guy was wearing something real formal and it helps that I have a fetish for that sort of thing! I’ll explain why this was ironic for a number of reasons! At the end of a lovely night, we came home and I was apprehensive about what the deal would be when it came to sex. Anyways, we got started with the kissing and then went on to the second base and I had an idea. Lying in my drawer was the Satisfyer Pro Penguin Next Generation, that...wait for it...resembled a tux! The irony! I still remember reading the review before I resorted to buying the toy, it read something on the lines of “for a hell of a ride”! And I thought why not? He was up for it! We got dirty and how! This is a powerful vibrator and I had chosen it because of the texture of the exterior and the variety of powerful vibration patterns. My first orgasm was within 30 seconds. Screaming is how I remember the moment. The intensity of clitoral stimulation was insane. After a hot session of experimenting, the tux looked like it had seen its own share of action. The night was the best I had and well, he got himself a new tux! I would recommend this product to a friend or anyone who is interested in a high-quality powerful vibe!

"The time the lights went out but the vibrator did not": Priyank (One of those unforgettable sex toy reviews)

Probably one of the most nonconvincing sex toy reviews you'll be hearing. But yea, we still think it was pretty memorable. For our first anniversary, I had double trouble kinda scene planned for my girlfriend. I just thought she'd enjoy both oral stimulations as well as penetrations. I got the rabbit vibrator that would do both, kill two birds with one stone, or should we say please two fantasies with one toy? The whole episode that was supposed to be kinda fun, turned into one hilarious but not in a funny way. Okay so, she turned it onto the first set and we got started. A few minutes into this, the lights went out. I can understand if it’s just a dim light, but completely off is kind of spooky, isn't it? We were kinda worried that that would be calling it a night but decided to keep going. What’s the harm? So she, me, and the rabbit had fun for a whole of 4 hours. Yes!! I am not even exaggerating. The lights never did come back on until the next morning, but the vibrator certainly doesn’t require extra power! We still laugh about it to this day.

"A sex toy reviewer runs out of sex toys to try": Varun

I was previously a sex educator but then kinda missed the risky bit. Sex education is all about telling people to stay safe but what is the fun without the risk. I wanted to speak about adventure, how people should let loose, spice up their lives, get naughty, play dirty and have fun. So I transitioned and began my journey as a sex toy reviewer. I'd write about the cock ring, prostate massagers, butt plug, anal toys for men, how to spice up the sex life and so much more. My all-time favourite has been classic steel butt plug, it can literally save relationships if you get stuck in the masturbation rut. Also, can we all agree, fisting anyone without using a properly lubed butt plug should be banned. Anyways, it is wonderful to be writing a sex toy review! The amazing part about being a sex toy reviewer is you can never run out of fun and toys! Whom do I trust for the deed of endless supply? IMBesharam, a website I came across a few years back. A steady supply of experimental, fun and absolutely thrilling toys is what you will be in for. Well so far I have managed to get a new toy every time, but now I am starting to feel like I’m running out of toys to try! It makes me wonder if I am taking my job too seriously!

"My flatmate thinks I'm really getting some action": Aashi

As a person who writes about clitoral stimulation, and is a sex toy reviewer myself, my standards are quite high. Like really high. I would sometimes think I just needed that one special magic wand in my life, to give me the perfect mind-blowing orgasms. The ones that make you hold your hair, scream, and curl up. So began my search for it. I'd read and written multiple sex toy reviews, had tried loads of these but nothing just managed to make the cut. I was browsing on these websites and bought myself this super expensive Womanizer’s clitoral vibrator, I mean why not, right? Great stuff. The magic wand, the bringer of orgasms, the finder of the spot!! Yes, I'm not even kidding. But what convinced me about how great it was working out for me was when I walked out for breakfast one morning and my flatmate just went "If I got the kind of action you were getting last night, I'll get on that app where you're finding these guys."

"Go for the rabbit vibrator! You'll thank me later": Shanaya

I was way too experimental in my 20s. I know that's usually a time when you get action from guys instead of losing faith in them and going for sex toys but I honestly just wanted to see what the big deal was about. So I looked up sex toy reviews to get an idea about which ones were the in thing. The rabbit vibrator seemed a great option for my sex-starved soul and so I ordered it online. The sex toy review that I read online had said that the vibrator was cool and great for clitoral stimulation etc. What it did not say was that it was so bloody loud! I remember turning it on at night and the walls were so thin that my parents were quick to think I was drilling a hole or something into my walls and came over to check. Damn. That vibrator would have cost me my sanity in a desi home. Haha, you get the point. Today I'm living by myself and thankfully can get the rabbit vibrator to work its magic without the worry of desi parents bursting it.

"Forgot the anniversary date? Make it up to her by giving her the best orgasms": Salim

I think every guy's most dreaded fear is forgetting the anniversary date. I mean poor us, we have loads to remember and so we tend to forget the little deets. Anyway, guys, listen up. Hope this sex toy review helps you. I have something that can make your girl's heart melt the next time you screw up. Hit the Gspot!

So this time, I ended up being the hero instead of the guy who can’t plan anything romantic! I actually preplanned to forget the anniversary, so she’d think I had lost my love. But secretly I had pre-ordered the couples vibrator. The night was going to turn out to be more amazing and my lady luck had no clue about it just yet. When the day finally arrived, as per plan, she thought I had forgotten the date, little knowing that I had been planning for this for months! To cut to the chase, the experience we had was unforgettable. If you’re a couple looking to spice things up, I’d suggest you browse through the ‘sex toys for couples’ on this website and get yourself some fun! I kept massaging her vulva and letting the clitoral vibrator do its thing. She was in splits. Not the humorous kind but rather where they do this thing like curling up and holding the sheets and begging to stop but begging for more. It was awesome! I in turn got some of the best action. It was a wholesome experience as a couple!

"DIY sex toys? No, please.": Dave

I'm sure this is the weirdest story of sex toys that anyone has ever written but well, here goes. I was dating a girl who was into making DIY sex toys. No, like seriously. Tissue rolls, glue, tape, the mouths of bottles, etc. Kinky but damn, I mean what the hell? I did not know about this before we actually got down to the sex business. Anyway, when she suggested we spice things up, I thought the normal way and then, bam! She got out of the pleasure store that was all these creepy DIY stuff. Imagine having that. Just imagine. We broke up, obviously. But I still think about it sometimes and get the creeps. After that horrific episode that was borderline scary, I decided I was done with experimenting with DIY stuff and I checked out IMBesharam on a friend’s advice. Great stuff there and the experience is nothing like those creepy DIY things. Please go for these professional sex toys!

"A candle was my first sex toy": Kiran

The first improvised sex toy I ever used was a plain old paraffin candle. I literally didn’t have enough money for some of the bespoke sex toys and I had to look up how to work a candle to make a dildo. This was when I had just started living by myself out of my parent's house and my priorities were food, electricity bills at the time. Make Your Own Sex Toys: A Practical Guide to a Better Love Life, that's the book I read, cause I wanted it that bad. Well everyone pays their dues and I paid mine. Now that I make a good buck I have decided to go in for a few different collections of toys.

I've become quite an avid collector since then. Whether it was a cock ring or clitoral stimulator or a clitoral vibrator or a satisfyer pro or suction vibrator, well I just knew I needed to have the whole collection. If there is one thing in life that is important to a woman it is an orgasm and whether it is you giving her that or the sex toy, well, pleasure is a pleasure. So the candle as I was saying was the first sex toy that I absolutely had no clue would be such a great one. Disclaimer: Do not use a candle, folks. It could just cause damage. I'd suggest instead going in for Besharam's range that has literally everything you need to have the time of your life! Also, a risk you take with candles is that well, the wax is never really just wax and it’s only a matter of time until someone finds out.

"Using the banana": Sasha

Funny story but my teen self was big into these fruits and vegetables for sensual pleasure. Not knowing in the slightest how to give a blowjob, I used a banana and sucked on it until I gagged. Since then, my idea of sex toys and the experience I have had with them has changed drastically. While earlier, bananas and cucumbers would satisfy, now it was sex toys doing the same without leaving residue back there. The mini cucumbers were hard and resembled the penises but they were too hard so I made a mess quite often. I am no sex toy reviewer but everything from the regular dildo to the clitoral stimulator is just fantastic. I am big for King Cocks.

"The time the boss asked to answer the damn phone": Jade

I bought a sex toy for a colleague with whom I was also in a relationship at the time. We thought it would be fun to kinda spice things up in the office with everyone around or at times when we were the only two pulling an all-nighter. I thought it would allow us to indulge in some private fun outside the house. I got the B swish vibrating plug, and it could be remotely controlled to set the vibrations to a degree that was comfortable.

The device is very discreet and quiet enough to be used in a public place without anyone realizing what is going on. The sensation was amazing! Our experiment gave us a real sense of thrill and it was amazing the way things were spiced up a notch. I'm so glad we decided to go in for this buy! Well, everything was fun and games, till the time boss asked to answer the damn phone, so it stops vibrating.

"The harness that got the neighbours to wake up": Urvashi

I've tried a lot of different types of harnesses. It is difficult if not impossible to find one that works without my own genitalia feeling like they're in the way, which aside from being annoying always ends with me feeling like a dysphoric mess. The one that I got from Besharam, gave me the sense of feeling in control. We’re a bi couple and my partners has genitals that are really positioned different from mine, but feel the same way - and the extra precision leads to some pretty phenomenal orgasms, let me tell you.
So I got the harness from their website and we decided to bring one of our guy friends onboard for some action. The session was amazing. I donned on the harness with a strap-on dildo and the sweet guy willingly lay down, submissive, and I penetrated him. It was fun to make the guy moan so loud and definitely a first for our neighbours. It was amazing for the three of us and we can’t wait to try it again!

"People think I love the quiet. I'm just enjoying myself really: Gerard

I am quite the nerd. You'll usually find me in empty spaces, or at home or away from crowds and people have this impression that I am the good guy, you know, always reading and gaining knowledge and all of that. I actually quite 'enjoy' the quiet. I always have a little friend that I carry along with me wherever I go. This little buddy gives me all the pleasure I really need and it is honestly so convenient! The best part is that it works along with the body’s natural movements and gives these unprecedented orgasms. I really can’t explain how amazing this is. You have got to try it out for yourself! What I loved about the prostrate massager even though I usually top, when wanted to experiment with anal pleasure, this was just the right size to start with. You could literally wear it and go continue with your life for some time with the toy inside you. Thanks, guys for these really cool toys that I managed to find. It is honestly the best thing ever!
