As with all topics that are considered taboo, sex toys still suffer from its own set of myths. Some are quite funny, while others are downright silly.  As with anything that is surrounded by myth, once you do some digging, you find its really not as bad as everyone else thinks.

Here is a list of the 4 most common myths.  Of course, as your resident sex myth buster, A Little Passion is ready to set the record straight!

1)  I am afraid a vibrator or dildo will replace me

Some men can be downright offended when their partner mentions buying a vibrator or a dildo, something that we have run across many times.  In all actuality, there is nothing that can replace the love and affection for your partner.  Using a sex toy or sex toys may actually strengthen your relationship and add to your love life in ways your never thought it would.  Good communication between you and your partner goes a long way in any relationship.

2)  Using sex toys can be dangerous

Playing with sex toys are like anything, its all in how and maybe even when, your use them.  If you are driving down the freeway wearing  your remote control butterfly vibrator and your partner decides now would be a good time to test it out, sure, you are just an accident waiting to happen.  AND you know how men are with remote controls, they just can't leave well enough alone.  Common sense goes a long ways, like don't use your plug in magic wand near the bathtub.  Also, keep your sex toys clean of bacteria and germs, by using good cleaning methods i.e. sex toy cleaning solutions, water or boiling will save you a ton of grief.  Using condoms on your sex toys is a good idea if you are sharing with your partner.  It is also a good idea to keep vaginal and anal sex toys separate.

3)  I will become addicted to sex toys

While we just don't see the problem here, it is doubtful you would become "addicted".  As we said, nothing can replace love and affection and there are a lot worse addictions isn't there?

4)  Loss of Sensation from sex toys

While we admit that after you have used a real powerful vibrator you may feel "it" is desensitized, wait a couple and minutes and the sensitivity will be back.  Vibrators may actually increase sensations felt, as you will learn what sensations you like and therefore orgasm more easily.  Some women may find they are too sensitive and may have to place a cloth or their hand between their genitals and the vibrators and let the vibrations go through that way.
