I was an early bloomer, so masturbation became a big part of my life pretty early on. As I got older and discovered porn, I also discovered sex toys, and excitedly awaited the day when I was old enough to get one. I tried to make my own but it did not turn out very well, and I can only wish I had a guide like this back then. Even though I sadly can’t reach back in time and let myself know what I know now, I decided to make this guide anyway for everyone who may be in a similar position to I was. It’s not just age either, I am very fortunate to live in a country where a sex shop seems to be on every road, but I am aware not everyone is. I can also now afford to spend my money once in awhile on a $100+ sex toy, something I am sure seems insane to quite a lot of people. So this DIY sex toy guide is for everyone who, for whatever reason, isn’t as fortunate as me to own a range of sex toys. Plus, these options are actually better than just buying a cheap non-body safe toy, so if you were thinking of just caving and purchasing a jelly dildo, perhaps try these first.

One of the things I encourage most and try to provide on this blog is education about sex toys. While it should be as easy as walking into your local sex shop (which should be friendly and inclusive), and picking up whatever you fancy (because everything is body-safe), and then taking it home to properly use right off the bat (since you have had a proper sex education), the chances are that this is not the case. Good, inclusive, and ethical sex stores are still a rarity, and non-body safe toys are still made in the bucket-load. Sex education is minimal, and I highly doubt there are many schools that include anything about sex toys, or possibly masturbation at all, in their teachings. But, if you have found my blog and are reading this, it is likely you’ve already began learning about what brands are good and what materials are safe. So, today I want to talk about what happens when you actually buy the toy, and are then left wondering how exactly you are supposed to use it.
