Some people are homosexual (and are attracted to people of the same gender), others are bisexual (and are attracted to people of two or more genders), and yet others can be asexual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What does asexual mean?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Asexual folks don\u2019t experience sexual attraction. That doesn\u2019t mean that they don\u2019t experience arousal or desire, just that any arousal or desire isn\u2019t directed towards a specific person. It also doesn\u2019t mean that asexual people can\u2019t have fulfilling romantic relationships, since successful relationships don\u2019t always require sex! All asexuality means is that a person doesn\u2019t experience sexual attraction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are lots of folks who are asexual and who want nothing to do with sex- and that\u2019s totally fine- there are others, who love toys and embrace them fully, no matter the style. Our list of the toys below are for those in that gray area; not quite sex-repulsed, but not quite fully invested in hyper-realistic sex toys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Asexual folks&#8217; choice #1: Vibrators<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.lewandmassager.com\/pleasure-guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/asexual-best-toy-02.png\" alt=\"Asexual people with a clitoris typically appreciate some vibrations.\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Clitoris owners typically appreciate some vibrations, regardless of subsequent or simultaneous activities. Try to find a small, lipstick-sized vibrator if you\u2019re looking for pinpoint stimulation or move up to more power-focused vibrator that provides suction or dual-motor, surround sound style vibration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many folks like&nbsp;<strong><a title=\"broader stimulation\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lewandmassager.com\/pleasure-guide\/broad-stimulation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">broader stimulation<\/a><\/strong>, so wand-style vibrators such as our <strong><a title=\"Le Wand Rechargeable\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lewandmassager.com\/le-wand-rechargeable-vibrating-massager.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Le Wand Vibrating Massager<\/a><\/strong> and&nbsp;<strong><a title=\"Le Wand Petite\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lewandmassager.com\/le-wand-petite.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Le Wand Petite<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;are great for this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Experiment with different kinds if you can, and see what you like! Regardless of the style, be sure to read some reviews and look for vibrators that are rumbly, not buzzy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Asexual&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>folks&#8217;&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>choice #2: Dildos<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.lewandmassager.com\/pleasure-guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/asexual-best-toy-03.png\" alt=\"Dildos come in various shapes and sizes for asexual people to choose from.\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Silicone is a great material that lends itself well to dildo-making. Many companies have very realistic options, but also some more abstract, non-realistic designs as well. Sometimes they\u2019re simply cylindrical, others will have curves and waves or other textures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure your toy has a flared base if you\u2019re using it for anal play, or that it\u2019s compatible with a harness if you\u2019re thinking about incorporating strap-ons into your repertoire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are also vibrating dildos, which can be a great way to shake up any monotony. Many vibrators meant for internal use have prominent curves meant for <strong><a title=\"G-spot stimulation\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lewandmassager.com\/pleasure-guide\/g-spot-stimulation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">G-spot stimulation<\/a><\/strong>, though if you find you don\u2019t like that particular sensation, these vibes can also be great multitaskers and work well for clitoral stimulation as well! Or, you can try adding one of our silicone attachments like the&nbsp;<strong><a title=\"Le Wand Curve Attachment\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lewandmassager.com\/sex-toys\/le-wand-massagers\/wand-attachments\/curve.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Le Wand Curve<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;or&nbsp;<strong><a title=\"Le Wand Ripple Attachment\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lewandmassager.com\/sex-toys\/le-wand-massagers\/wand-attachments\/ripple.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Le Wand Ripple<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;for powerful internal stimulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to look for body-safe materials like silicone and waterproofing if you plan to experiment in the shower or bath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Asexual folks&#8217; choice #3:&nbsp;Plugs<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.lewandmassager.com\/pleasure-guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/asexual-best-toy-04.png\" alt=\"If you identify as an asexual person who has a prostate, butt plugs might be for you.\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a <strong><a title=\"prostate\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bvibe.com\/prostate-play\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">prostate<\/a><\/strong>, the prostate-specific plugs might be a fun option to explore that pleasure zone. With or without a prostate, plugs marketed to novices are a great option for some introductory anal play. We especially love the&nbsp;<strong><a title=\"Novice Plug\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bvibe.com\/vibrating-anal-toys\/novice-plug.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Novice Plug<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;or the&nbsp;<strong><a title=\"Snug Plug\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bvibe.com\/snug-plug.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Snug Plug<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;from&nbsp;<strong><a title=\"b-Vibe\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bvibe.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">b-Vibe<\/a><\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember to go slow, use lots of lube, and think of it as a marathon instead of a sprint. If it\u2019s your first time experimenting with anal play, don\u2019t feel like you have to get the whole toy in at once, or leave it in for a long time. Any amount of progress is a success, and always remember to use toys with a flared base for safety!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if you\u2019re not asexual, some folks just don\u2019t like realistic toys. There are always some great options out there for more abstract toys in satisfying, body-safe shapes and materials.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019re not familiar, asexuality is just another point on the spectrum of sexual attraction.
