Newbie's Guide to Gay Sex Toys

The world of sex toys can be a bit bewildering to the uninitiated. There are countless gizmos, gadgets, and geegaws on the market and their purposes are often unclear.

Add this to the fact that doing Google research about them can lead to some, shall we say, "interesting" corners of the internet that many people would just as soon leave unexplored.

Here at Adam's Toy Box, we are all about sex positivity and encouraging people to explore their personal sexuality to its fullest...

We figured the best way to help people do that is to offer an informative, non-threatening space where they can find answers to questions they have that are too embarrassing to discuss with friends and colleagues. It's perfectly acceptable to ask someone about how they like their new phone or dishwasher, but how often have you asked for someone's opinion on a new set of vibrating anal beads you've had your eye on?

With all this in mind, we thought it would be helpful to provide a comprehensive guide to the various categories on our site to help explain some of the items, how and why people use them, and help you find the toys that will really blow your hair back.

BDSM - super-charge your sex life with some kink

One of the best ways to explore your personal sexuality is to focus less on the physical aspects and more on the emotional and intellectual facets of it. BDSM is one of the best tools for the job.
