For guys, this can be helpful if they’re having an issue with an erection, which is also a common problem.

If celebrities like Oprah are okay with talking about toys on TV, why would you feel ashamed using them? Back in 2006, she talked about a toy called ”The Rabbit” in her magazine, and she listed it highly and as a game-changer in her magazine. It was invented in Japan and is a popular kind still to this day, and we can also thank Sex and the City for making it even more popular in their movies & series!

8. Banned in some countries

Unfortunately, sex toys of any kind are banned in shops in Alabama, and this law also exists in India. Some countries haven’t gotten around to this idea just yet, while in Texas (for instance) it is illegal to own more than six dildos, believe it or not!

PS: Some archeologist found a dildo in a German cave which was, reportedly, 30,000 years old! This just proves that women had to find a way how to satisfy themselves.
