Do Expensive Toys = Better Orgasms?

Preparing for #SexToyTuesday, we're thinking about toys and how to best use them. Here at GetLusty, we love talking about toys. This is a guest post from Searah Deysach from Early to Bed Chicago. Because it's Orgasm October, we're thinking about everything that vibrates & makes us climax!

A high-end, rechargeable, silicone vibrator is a beautiful thing. Toys made by Fun Factory, JeJoue, LELO, We-Vibe and others are gorgeous, safe toys that come with longer warranties and some have unique functions than less-pricy toys. We, of course, love LELO, as you can probably tell.

And there is good reason to splurge for these items. The materials are super safe, they last longer, and in many cases are produced in a more ethical manner than “mainstream” toys.

But that said, not everyone has $100 to spend on a sex toy (or wants to spend that much) and I think folks sometimes wonder if they are missing out on “better sex” just because they opted for a $16 vibe. Especially if you're just starting out with sex toys, it's great to start off with something more simple and work your way up.

Starting off? Go simple

Many folks can have just as fantastic a time with a $10 Silver Bullet (or $20 3-speed duckie) as they can with a high-end piece. Yes, the silver bullet is made cheaply in China and won’t last forever, but the vibrations it provides are freaking awesome and well worth the price of a movie ticket.

The hard plastic it is made of is known to be a safe material and transmits vibrations really well. And there are a lot of vibes in the $20-$40 range that have great functions, are made of safe materials and can provide anyone with orgasms for just pennies apiece!

For dildos, it's about the experience
 

When it comes to dildos, there are fewer choices of non-silicone materials that are body-safe. Silicone toys are getting fancier and more expensive, but there are also plenty of affordable options.

What you are looking for size, texture and shape-wise, so there is usually more than one option at various prices. And like a penis on a live human, a lot of penetrative sex has to do with how the tool is used, who is using it and how you feel about the whole experience.

So yes, luxury items are well worth their price. But if you're a newbie, try out different pieces and feel out what you like before making a significant investment. Your sexual pleasure is definitely worth the purchase.
