What You'll Learn

The Science Of Toys & Lube
There are thousands of devices and sexual aids to enhance sexual function and lubrication and it can often be confusing. This lesson covers the basics of lubrication and the physiology of female sexual function.
Everything Lube!
Understand your natural lubrication and learn the pros and cons of the many options for additional lubrication that can increase sexual pleasure.
Clitoral Toys
Clitoral stimulation and orgasm is the most common type of orgasm and, for many women, this is the easiest way to begin exploring sex toy options. This lesson will overview different types of clitoral toys, how they work, medical conditions which may make this the best place to begin, and several well-known and recommended devices.
Vaginal Toys
When most people think about sex toys, their first thought is a dildo or other penetrating device. This lesson will explore the different types of these devices, with or without g-spot or clitoral stimulation, and recommendations for each variety.
Anal Toys
Anal is quickly becoming popular! Learn the differences between beads, plugs, and anal vibrators, and how to use these safely.
Couples Like Toys Too!
There have been an increasing number of toys developed for you and your partner. We will explore how they fit into the categories we have discussed in previous lessons and how to explore what you and your partner might be interested in trying. Categories will include, external and internal stim, C-rings, and strap ons!
Medical Devices & Toys
Use of toys is sometimes precluded by things such as emotional distress, physical pain, or anatomy concerns. This lesson will briefly discuss the purpose and use of devices such as dilators, pelvic floor exercisers, and benwah balls.
