ODE TO MASTURBATION
We humans are sexual beings. Just like bonobos and dolphins, we also have sex outside of our fertile period. Simply for our own pleasure! So it's perfectly natural that we seek out what gives us pleasure and enjoyment.
While sex isn't as tightly held anymore, that same acceptance often isn't the case with masturbation. It's still seen as something embarrassing or shameful, something you'd rather not talk about. A real shame, of course! Therefore, an ode to masturbation, because masturbation has all sorts of benefits! Here are a few.

MASTURBATION IS A MUST!
Well, nothing is mandatory, but it's good! And it's also convenient because you can always have sex with yourself. It's a shame we often make such a fuss about it.
Therefore an Ode to masturbation because:
6 REASONS TO MASTURBATE
It's healthy and puts a blush on your cheeks: An orgasm a day keeps the doctor away . Masturbation gets your blood flowing faster, and good circulation keeps your heart and blood vessels healthy. Sex also releases all sorts of heavenly chemicals in your brain, even when you masturbate. These chemicals: dopamine and endorphins , are also called love chemicals . They help you have a positive outlook on life and feel more connected. You'll literally feel happier! The release of these chemicals significantly reduces fear and anxiety.
• More energy & focus: You can also masturbate without the goal of reaching a peak orgasm. You build up a tremendous amount of sexual energy, but you don't push yourself to release. If you stop just before climax, you'll reach a plateau . Your body throbs with the accumulated energy. You can use this energy to focus. This is an age-old method and a common practice among top athletes and artists on the eve of a major achievement.
• Self-love is my religion: During an orgasm, you briefly lose track of time and space; you are free of your worries and yourself. For a fraction of a second, you are detached from everything! This is also the moment you detach from your identity, your ego, and the worries of daily life. Thus, you briefly touch something universal and infinite that is very close to us. This is why Tantra and Taoist movements view sexuality as a path to enlightenment.
Self-knowledge & self-love: You have a body! Feel it, discover it: what does this do, and what does that do ? As children, we are incredibly playful and exploratory, but it's taboo when it involves our or someone else's genitals. That's forbidden territory and frowned upon or experienced as uncomfortable. It's not surprising, then, that we don't have a great relationship with that part of our body. However, the body is the most beautiful instrument there is, play it! Discover what you like, what feels good, how fast you can go, and how sensitive you are to the lightest touch. This way, you can discover what you find most pleasurable.
But also your whims and your dynamics; when do you need loving touch? Or when you just want it fast and hard. You'll experience a shift in your relationship with yourself. You'll gain more appreciation and admiration for yourself. Moreover, how can we be intimate with another person if we're strangers to our own bodies and don't know what we like? Self-knowledge and self-love are essential for your sex and love life with others. You can tell the other person what you like and don't like. Then you're not dependent on the other person's grace or (in)ability. So, take responsibility for your own desires seriously.
A good night's sleep: Not only are love chemicals and hormones released during masturbation, but also oxytocin , the blissful cuddle hormone and stress reducer. These are a blessing for your night's sleep. Fulfilled and satisfied, you'll enjoy the best and deepest sleep. Nowadays, in our global and technocratic world, most of us do work that primarily uses our minds: at the computer. We are often mentally tired at the end of the day, but not always physically tired. That's why a bit of masturbation as a nightcap isn't a bad idea at all...
• Masturbating in every color of the rainbow: Masturbation is like eating. Sometimes you go to the snack bar for a quick bite. The next, you settle down for a romantic three-course dinner with candlelight and rose petals. It's the same with sex. There are countless forms of masturbation. One is not better than the other. Try all the flavors and enjoy. And just like with food: variety is delicious and healthy!
BENEFITS OF SEX TOYS
You always have your hands with you, nice and easy! But a vibrator has many advantages, as do many other toys . With a vibrator, almost any woman can reach orgasm quickly . But you can also enjoy it long and intensely by engaging your entire body and delaying your orgasm. A vibrator never gets tired, and you can caress your clitoris and lips endlessly. But there's also a lot to discover in your pussy, and you can explore the places of pleasure.
As far as we're concerned: “Every girl deserves a vibrator!”
A DILDO IS FOR PENETRATION
With a dildo , you can penetrate yourself and reach deeper, pleasurable spots, such as the G-spot/prostate stimulation. You can also always use your fingers or combine it with a vibrator. Dildos come in all shapes and sizes, from a picturesque model to the big stallion. There are also dildos for special effects, like the Bouncer from the Fun Factory . This handmade dildo has three balls inside that you can feel moving when you use it, providing extra stimulation!
THE VIBRATOR
Vibrator —the name says it all. This toy vibrates. These vibrations stimulate your body both inside and out. On the outside, the vulva, clitoris, and perineum are favorites. Inside the vagina, all the key points your body has to elicit pleasure: (A-spot, U-spot) and, of course, the more familiar G-spot. But the sensually sensitive anus loves vibration. The clitoris, on the outside, is just the tip of the volcano. It has some 6,000-8,000 nerve endings that extend into your vagina. Embark on a journey of discovery to get to know your body and your pleasure better. A vibrator is patient, and you can enjoy it for hours without any problems.
THERE ARE DIFFERENT TYPES OF VIBRATORS
There are vibrators with a smooth or ribbed phallic shape, like our trusty Patchy Paul . But also vibrators with an extra protrusion that can directly stimulate the clitoris during penetration, so double the fun! The motor settings range from very light and arousing to hard and pulsating. Miss Bi has two motors, one for the phallic part and one for the clitoral stimulator, so you can switch between them and turn one on and off, offering plenty of play options!
The powerful Pulsator moves back and forth and is in a class of its own! The stroking motion of the Stronics triggers the G-spot.
SPECIALLY FOR THE PENIS & PROSTATE
A masturbator like the Fleshlight Ice Lady Crystal (pictured below) is a perfect toy for the penis. It has two motors that create pulsating movements, so you feel the waves coursing across your entire penis. This creates a unique, tugging sensation.
A prostate stimulator, like the Duke, is inserted anally, stimulating the prostate and perineum. The Duke has a powerful, vibrating bullet that provides the entire toy with a pleasant vibration. The prostate is comparable to the G-spot. Seminal fluid is produced in the prostate, and a man can also ejaculate through prostate stimulation. It's good for the prostate to regularly release this fluid. The perineum is the external erogenous zone: the area between the testicles and the anus. The perineum also appreciates the vibrating stimulation! The Duke has a vibrating bullet, which makes it vibrate. The bullet is rechargeable, waterproof, and can also be used separately.
LUBRICANT: ALWAYS SO MUCH NICER WITH TOYS
Always use lubricant with your toy, but even without a toy, lubricant makes all the difference. It makes everything nice and smooth, soft, and all the more fun and pleasurable! It's essential for anal sex, though. Natural lubricants are not available, and the anal lining is very delicate.
SPECIAL ATTENTION FOR THE FUN FACTORY
We love this manufacturer and its products. All Fun Factory toys —and all the sex toys we sell—are made of safe, high-quality silicone. What makes this manufacturer special is that they design and manufacture in Germany. This is closer to home, better for the environment, and better guarantees for health and safety. Fun Factory sex toys are made of solid silicone and therefore flexible. That's also a great thing! Do not use silicone lubricant with these toys, as it will damage the silicone in your toy. TRIPLEGLIDE is the only exception to that rule.
Use a nice water-based lubricant, such as Pink or our TRIPLEGLIDE .
