Gay Sex Toys
It's a common misconception that all gay sex toys are used only for anal penetration. In fact, gay sex toys have pretty much the same range as any other sex toys – there are toys for BDSM play and solitary sex play as well as the more predictable anal sex toys and substitutes.
What this means is that, in addition to the huge range of anal beads, butt plugs, dildos and vibrators that are intended for anal use, you can also find a wide choice to be had of other sex toys, including such favourites as cock rings, nipple clamps and fleshjacks (this last is a simulation of an anus, that can be either penetrated as in anal sex, or used in masturbation).
A lot of these sex toys are designed specifically for use as gay sex toys, with the needs and desires of gay men in mind, but neither should you overlook the huge range of stuff that, while designed for use by heterosexual men, is just as easily used by gay men. All you have to do is tune out what the advertising says (or what it shows, given how explicit those pictures often are), and use your own judgement. With only a smidgen of imagination, you could easily employ any of these sex toys to satisfy your own desires.
One thing to be careful in selecting as a gay male: sex toys that you intend to use for anal penetration. You should always try to choose one that's highly recommended – and that preferably by someone you trust, rather than its manufacturer, advertiser or seller. It's very important that the sex toys have no seams, edges, rough-textured areas or pieces that can easily be torn off. The flesh inside the rectum is 's flesh is sensitive, can be torn quite easily. And once made, tears in that part of the body can very easily become infected.
As such, any sex toy that is intended for anal penetration should be designed to have a wide, flared base, which will prevent it from being pulled too far inside the anus. This will reduce the risk of injury to the anus and rectum, as will observing the usual guidelines for safe anal sex – always wear a condom, for example. (You may even want to put condoms on the sex toys too - if nothing else, it will make them easier to clean afterwards.) In particular, it's vital that any sex toy used in anal penetration be well lubricated, ideally with a water based lube, which is gentler on both the flesh of the rectum and on the toy itself.
