What made you buy your first toy?

Contributor: Leil@ Leil@
I've been thinking - what makes us step into this sexy sex toy world?

I remembered when I first came face to face with sex toys - I looked for a gag gift for my friend’s birthday. We've been joking around for some time, and, suddenly, I got deep into the research. When I realized what a beauty is the sex toy world, I started to honestly reevaluate my entire sex life. Since the first time, and to the very last... That was the moment I all of a sudden thought to myself - "It's quite boring, isn't it? Why don't we do something about it?" So I dived right in and never looked back. And that gag gift ended up being one of the best experiences my friend have ever had. That's when we stopped laughing about it and got seriously into sex toys.

Then I came to work at EdenFantasys, and the rest is history

But what about you, guys? What's your story of making up your mind and deciding to choose your first sex toy? What did you choose and why? Did your first toy live up to your expectations or was a letdown? I would really love to know.

Sex toys always had me curious from the time I was about 14 or 15. I remember being in hot topic looking at them and I had convinced a friend of mine to go buy one for me. Since I was 15-16 I wasn't old enough to buy one and my friend just turned 18.

I had to be super careful to not let my parents know I had any since they would be against it. I had gotten a small bullet one and loved it. I really didn't know much of anything about sex toys at that time and just wanted to give one a try. After a while it did break and I was still wanting more of them. So when I was 18 someone I worked with told me about this site. I was so thrilled about it too!

I feel like since I've been apart of EF I have learned so much about sex toys like how to properly clean them and store them. What's compatible with silicone and how safe silicone is. Now I'm hooked on sex toys and I'm not sure I could do without them!

I'd been curious about trying a sex toy for myself for a while....but somehow just never pulled the trigger until recently. I guess I just never felt like it was THAT important. I was vaguely curious, but I figured there were better things for me to spend my money on, y'know?

But I've been single for a while now, and was finding my usual, boring, fingers-rubbing-clit masturbation kind of unfulfilling (in more ways than one). More and more, I was craving penetration, but really didn't want to deal with the potential drama of a sexual relationship (because even the casual ones can still cause drama). Still, it wasn't a huge priority for me for a while.

....and then the pandemic hit. My work closed down, but thankfully was still willing and able to keep paying us. So I had the same amount of money as usual, but a WHOOOOOOOOLE lot more free time. What's a girl to do? I finally decided that the time had come where I couldn't put it off any longer. It WAS a priority now. So I started researching obsessively, visiting various sites, reading articles and reviews, etc. I kept coming back to Eden, largely because of the quality of their product reviews, as well as their great selection, prices, and community. Eventually I ordered my first toys, loved them, and my sex toy collection began expanding at an alarming rate. I already need a bigger toybox, haha.

I'm so glad I finally took the dive. I've been having so much fun exploring all these new sensations, and I've been having some of the best orgasms of my life. I don't see myself ever going back to my pre-toy existence. Any future partners of mine are just going to have to deal with that (and hopefully enjoy them with me!). They can pry my toy collection out of my cold, dead hands.

I started with sex toys at my Bridal shower. I had a naughty or nice shower and all the guest were instructed to bring a nice gift and a naughty gift. I ended up with a few sex toys from the naughty gifts and my husband was eagerly wanting to try them out, so after a few months of him asking, I finally gave in.

After that it was game over, he was buying me all the toys he wanted to try with me! Then I found Eden and the review program and that’s when I got serious about it all. I started my own blog for a short period of time reviewing toys from Eden and other companies and posting Nsfw post! Then life got the best of me, I stepped back and after a few years I knew it was time to come back, but I only came back to Eden to review. My blog is still out there, but left with no new post!

I had known about sex toys for quite a while and wanted to try them out. I got a bullet vibrator and have never looked back!

My reasons for trying sex toys were curiosity on the 1st place and the fact that I've been in LDR for a very long time, so we're unable to have sex anytime we'd like to. Proper masturbators and remote-controlled toys are incredibly helpful to get sexual energy released and to keep the sexual spark alive

My first steps into sex toys world were at my teenage. I was extremely curious about everything concerning sex, so trying out sex toys didn't take much hesitation, and now I'm a huge sex toys fan!

I was between relationships and wondered what a toy would feel like. I enjoyed adult movies on occasion but it looked like some kind of motion would enhance what I was looking at. I was getting worked up watching two girls pleasure each other on the screen one night, and when I wrapped the soft silicone toy around my erection and turned the vibe function on, I almost fell over. A shuddering orgasm happened a moment later, and my solo routine had changed. Later I tried introducing toys to female friends while making love, and their response was enthusiastic. Now I don't use these things all the time, but technology rocks!

Single & horny! Decided I needed to try sex toys to take the edge off. Did my research and invested in the Lelo Mona 2 that I purchased from Eden Fantasys. It was worth every penny! A great investment that still works and provides amazing g-spot orgasms. Since then I've invested in dildos (the Royal Adventure that I purchased from Eden Fantasys is my favorite), clit vibes & anal plugs. Sex toys are this single girls best friend!

Funny thing , actually. After realizing i was bisexual i was extremely skeptical about anal sex at first i said i would never do that..... well, that was until my anus actually, literally started to CRAVE it! so i got expert advice from an anal sex pornstar’s personal internet page and learned what to do and what NOT to do... i got some enema douches and , now that i recall, it was actually from this very site where i bought my an anal starter kit and some dildos and anal plugs and ever since i realized what i was missing out on, IVE been hooked like a widemouth bass ever since and i am so sorry i was so skeptical and that i didn’t start doing kinky anal stuff SOONER! ??

I just remember watching porn where I saw a girl orgasming with a toy by accident when I was young. It sparked an interest in me that made me yearn and aspire to buy one. It was when I was 17 when I was finally able to get my hands on one when they let me get a debit card before 18 ??. I went all out and bought an 8 in thick af red vibrator and a free one that came with the purchase. To finally feel what I had been thinking about all those years finally paid off and I love buying toys since. ??

I was curious about different toys and not just the simple bullet. I wanted to do more solo acts but with alot of different toys, so right now im trying to build my collection. So I wanted nipple clamps but I wanted them to vibrate and it made me so wet. I wanted an average suction dildo to use for anal vaginal and just to suck on. I found one with a good suction. Then I skipped the butt plugs and got a 12in suction dildo. That was a major challenge since I never did anal like that but with lube and going slow it felt good going in anal. Now I want to find some butt plugs to go with my wand that has 12 functions. Again I like a challenge so I try to always go to function 12 starting off. Now I want a sex machine the small one to fuck me anal while I put my wand on my cliq and also use it for to get throat fucked.

I was too afraid to buy my own sex toys but was also curious about them. My boyfriend at the time bought my first vibrator at a local novelty store because he wants to give me the gift of pleasure I could receive any time and think of him while I'm at it, too. Since then, I got a rabbit vibe as a gift and finally bought my very own luxury toy for the first time a few years later. It wasn't until almost half a year after that when I discovered EF and went on a spree. I took advantage of the review program which has granted me the opportunity to try so many new things.

He bought our first one after seeing vibrators used in movies. Since then we have quite the collection. Some duds some duzzies. I still have my original Hitachi.

I had just gotten out of a relationship with somebody and i needed sex. I didn’t want to jump into another relationship or sleep with a stranger so i ended up going to fairvilla and got a vibrator. I still have it to this day. I got it 10 years ago.

I still have my original Hitachi, too! And it's an older model (like me!) - 1980 or so. Bought it, along with a cheap bullet vibe, from Good Vibrations. There really wasn't much to choose from in 1980, though. Along with other goodies in my toybox, Mr. Right and I still use the Hitachi with some attachments.

Honestly, the pandemic forced my hand into trying sex toys. Being single, COVID-19 put the kybosh on dating so I wanted a way to spice up my “alone time”. I only intended to get a toy or two, but I got hooked immediately! I was fortunate enough to find EF. I have read hundreds of members reviews and learned a lot about the world of sex toys. I then realized how boring my sex life has been. I am greatly endebted to the friendly and knowledgeable EF members that have helped me learn so much!

Hopefully the pandemic will end soon so I can share everything I have learned with a female partner. If you are a female in the same boat I am, feel free to contact me and we’ll work together to create a wonderful future.

I had a vivacious girlfriend when I was 18. She loved to go to sex toy shops and spend lots of money, go home and "experiment". Lol, needless to say I was hooked, and the rest is history.

Honestly Curiosity. Granted I did wait a very long time, I didn’t buy my first toy until I lost my virginity. And I lost that this year and I’m 23

Not the typical experience, but I actually received my first vibrator from my mom when I was 15 or 16. I remember her having a sex toy party at the house, and a few days later she “wanted to have a conversation.” She handed me a small black bag with a clitoral vibrator inside and a pack of batteries and some toy cleaner. I had recently starting dating someone and it was the first real “serious” relationship I had been in. She talked to me about how masturbating was healthy and she encouraged it over me having sex, while it didn’t stop me from having sex…I realized really quickly that my toy was a lot more satisfying. Looking back, I really appreciate that she did that even though it was uncomfortable at the time. I was able to explore my own body at a young age and learned what I liked and didn’t like which I think helped me to have healthy sexual relationships as I got older.

I bought my first toy myself when I was a freshman in college,I didn’t have a ton of money but wanted more orgasms so I bought a dual action vibrator that was on sale and the rest is history…

I had been curious for years but too nervous to buy one. Eventually, they came up in a conversation with a close friend, with whom I felt comfortable discussing sexual topics, and she offered to buy me one of my choice (I picked a rabbit vibe from Amazon). It was actually a bit disappointing at the first couple of uses until I figured out how I liked to use it.
When that toy eventually broke, the same friend introduced me to EdenFantasys

It's a little funny I put on the poll it was a gift because it was the closest answer but really, I won a set of dildos at a raffle. My friend has a nude male model paint and sip business. My very first time attending they threw a raffle and I won! I had never owned a toy before that. I stay getting new sex toys because I have been in a committed relationship for almost 10 years now and I wanted to change things up. I really enjoy reviewing things too, so it works out well.

The thing that made me buy my first sex toy was actually turning 18. I know that people have toys before that age, but I wanted to wait until I was actually that old before I did so. I bought a couple and was hooked! Toys are a perfect way to express yourself, your sexuality, and own some things that are truly beautiful.

It was a combination of curiosity, wanting something different, and actually breaking an odd psychological barrier I had. Before I got my first few toys, masturbation was a very bland, clinical thing I did to purge excess hormones from my system so I wouldn't get distracted during class during the day.

Noticed that hormone spikes were getting worse over time, turned 18, got a couple prepaid Visa cards started looking into a more efficient solution, which turned out to be just enjoying the process, which my first pack of toys from EF helped with massively.

Oddly enough, things have gone more clinical again in recent months, but I've found that the more stress I'm under, the less self-care I tend to practice, so I get caught in these downward spirals from time to time.

The first toy I had bought myself was a little mini bullet to use in the shower, I had just had my son I didn't feel sexual, had just left a relationship and wanted to feel amazing (and it didn't live up to what I had thought), then after researching what works and what don't I bought a rabbit, it was to hard on the clit but it done it's job wonderfully, my new partner at the time didn't think so and it created issues, and now 6 years later were trying something new
