Hopefully gone are the days of women being shy about sex & playing or experimenting with sex toys. I know this does not account for all, but all in all, women seem more comfortable with sex & talking about sex. TV programs & womens magazines are testament to this sexual liberation.
Along side this, thankfully couples are experimenting & exploring beyond the basics. With this era of liberation comes a wide variety of products, both practical & experimental. Women are having lingerie parties at which they can view & touch various sex toys.
Sex toys can function as a liberating force in themselves, by encouraging experimentation either by the solo player or couples. The vibrator is no longer seen as a substitute for the real thing. It is what it is an accessory or enhancement for one & all to explore with. The opportunities are as limited as the imagination.
