Friday Fun: Happy Safe Toys and Gifts Month!

Friday Fun: 

Happy Safe Toys and Gifts Month!

Like Xmas itself, I look forward to this particular celebration each year.

Every boy should have a toy. And no, it's not a case of one size or one type fits all. Fortunately the needs and imaginations of the many have helped inform and expand the market, driving innovation which has supplied individuals with exactly what they've been wanting. 

The marketplace if filled with wonderful toy and gift ideas: dildoes, anal vibrators, anal beads, sleeves, fleshlights, hoods, blindfolds, masks, harnesses, penis pumps, ropes, restraints, ball gags, gas masks, cock rings, nipple clamps, milking machines... why the list just goes on and on.

This month, the focus is on toy and gift safety; there many hazards to be aware of when considering such gifts, as the industry is not regulated. At all! 

So, here are few things to keep in mind:

1/ Know what your toy is made of! 

Toxicity is a major concern. The internet is full of horror stories about what happens when one remains ignorant of exactly what one is putting in one's body. 

2/ You get what you pay for.

Don't go cheap. Cheap means they've cut corners, and that means potential harm to you.

3/ Don't share your toys.

I know this goes against everything most of us were raised to believe, but it's true. These toys? They are very personal, as are the microbial organisms they come in contact with.

Now... that doesn't mean you have to play alone. It just means everybody needs to dance with the one they brought.

4/ If you do share? 

Sanitize. Sanitize. Sanitize.

5/ Put a condom on it.

If it goes in you? It needs to wear a raincoat. This is the best way to avoid any future surprises and unpleasantness. 

6/ Do your research. Be a smart shopper.

Not only does it pay, price-wise, it also helps ensure that you know what it is you're buying.

Whatever it is your looking for? Multiple vendors will be offering the exact same thing - or something similar which may actually be more to your liking.  

7/ Ask questions. Ask others. Listen to your gut.

What might be right for some, might not be right for you. Ask yourself the hard questions before committing to a purchase. Are you really going to use this? 

And when possible, ask questions of those in the know - those who are currently using and enjoying a given type of toy. There are communities and bulletin boards aplenty out there packed with information.

Remember: what might look like fun in a video is not always as much fun when the rubber meets the... 'road'!

Yes, toys for boys... oh, so much fun.

Good luck, this holiday season. Shop for yourself. Shop for a friend.

But do so with the confidence of an informed buyer.

Here's hoping all your sugar plum fairy dreams come true.

But if I were you?

I'd be careful around those nutcrackers!
