Self-culture of "our body, Ourselves"
Giving power is to a certain extent responsible for bringing sex toys out of the velvet shadows of the porn store and into the new stage of sexual health and happiness.
Sex therapist and writer Betty Dodson is probably one of the most influential people.
Dodson, in his early 70 s, was the first to host a seminar on female masturbation.
(Imagine "pre-
Orgasm "women explore the vagina with mirrors and vibrators and you will get photos.

"When women talk about sex, it changes the culture," says Carol Quinn, a good vibration.
"Our views are hidden or distorted;
Any degree of change in this situation is reflected at the cultural level.
Through the intense dialogue between feminism and our sexuality, women have been cultivated into radicalism.
In addition, we women are creating our own sexual careers. . .
Based on our understanding of what women want.
This is bound to affect the adult industry as it brings a more complex understanding of women's sexuality.
"The complex understanding of women's sexuality is not just exciting for women;
Health issues have also entered into discussion.
"The climax is not only pleasant, but healthy," said Felice Dunas, author of the game of passion . ".
"In order to maintain the best reproductive health, sexual organs must be fully utilized.
Just like aerobic exercise enhances heart function and weight.
Orgasm helps the human body to regulate blood flow and hormone production. " Dr.
Sandor Gardos, sexual therapist and director of the Xandria series Advisory Committee, confirmed the medical benefits of orgasm: "all well-known sexual therapists and medical authorities believe that sexual aids is anorexia in women (unable to reach orgasm) the preferred treatment method of the American Psychiatric Association, the medical diagnosis described in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual.
The study clearly shows that when this medical condition is not treated, relationships are affected and often disappear.
"In fact, the medical condition mentioned by Gardos has been treated with vibrators for more than a century.
Before 130, the first vibrator to treat "female hysteria" was developed ---

In Victorian times, doctors treat hysteria by massaging the clit of a patient until they are relieved by "outbreak" (orgasm.
At the end of the 19 th century, the first electric vibrators appeared on the market, and they were still disguised as hysterical treatments for doctors only.

Disturbing lawmakers who took legal action against sextoy industry --
Many people, including Adam and Eve founder Phil Harvey, are fighting fiercely.
Adam and Eve began to be the first mail in the United States.
Order contraceptive supplies before condoms enter the sex toy field.
On 1990, Harvey and five other people from his company were charged by a federal grand jury in Utah with mailing obscene materials to customers in Utah (Adam and Eve no longer have distribution facilities in Utah) Utah) each of them faces 55 years in prison and a $2 penalty.

After spending millions of legal fees (and enduring regular raids, police interrogation and general harassment), Harvey filed a federal civil lawsuit against the United States. S.
Justice Department.
In 1987 editorial by North Carolina News and observers, Harvey asked: "The description of adult sex is considered disgusting . ".
"Every society in history has a way to reflect human sexuality.
As long as human beings exist, the description of human sexuality will exist.
Harvey cites the conclusions of the Meese porn Commission and President Nixon's Commission on obscene conduct, both of which believe that the description of nonviolent adult sex is harmless.
Harvey wrote: "There is no doubt that we condone almost any form of violence in the media, even the most terrible description of people being hurt, demoted, disphysically and tortured.
This description is illegal anywhere.
Let the people who think the exposed material is harmful prove their situation. . .
Without such evidence, a determined, outspoken, politically powerful minority has been desperately trying to establish a causal relationship between explicit material and violent crimes.
After decades of hard work, they just failed to do so.
On 1990, Harvey was acquitted by a jury. -
Harvey called the decision "a major victory in the First Amendment.
"It's not that the battle of sex is over --toy marketers.
Last year, lawmakers in Alabama tried to ban the distribution, sale or purchase of "equipment designed to stimulate human reproductive organs ".

In order to avoid what they believe is a "national disaster," good vibration appeal sex toy producers have flown emergency rescue vibrators to Alabama, bringing the case to the Supreme Court if the ban is upheld. It was not.
The Federal Court overturned the law last month.

The toy industry remains vigilant.
The Queen, a board member of the Freedom of Speech Coalition (adult Industrial Trade Organization), is concerned about future threats to our constitutional rights to "pursue happiness.
"In fact, the pursuit of happiness is there, the right to carry weapons, in which case sex toys are rooted in the old American tradition: the right to unlimited choice in do-serviceit-

For my own happiness, good people in good vibration (their positive commitment to civic activities involves the launch of the first National Masturbation Month) gave me several free giveaways, including a crystal jelly
A spotted vibrator with a ridge, for extra clit stimulation.
Crystal Jelly looks big and emotional, I'm not sure if it's plugged into my Canal or out to sea.
However, my first experience on the mini massager was a quick climax tour.
But somehow the rather loud snoring of the electric shaver in the massager, the continued, unyielding vibration of its little golden ring, and the warmth of the lack of meat make me crave silence and kindness, old
Digital dexterity.
That said, my extensive experience with sex toys doesn't help much with the existing sensory opportunities.
Kristin Herrera, a regular good vibrating customer, seems to represent millions of people: "A lot of avenues have been opened away from boring vanilla sex.

Without them, my sex life will be reduced.
