Forget Barry White. When it comes to sexual pleasure — whether it’s solo or with a partner — the right sex toy can get things heated up, real fast. Fortunately, the industry doesn’t discriminate against those in the lesbian community because there are plenty that are designed by women and for lesbian couples.
And this accessibility means more than just a greater proportion of women being able to achieve toe-curling orgasms — sex toys can offer queer people creative ways to define what their unique likes are, outside a sex culture which highly centers penetration and climax as the only means and end.
Our top picks:
“Sex and self-pleasure [with sex toys] for queer women can be very deeply affirming of their identity, especially if someone is just starting to explore that part of themselves,” says Rae McDaniel, MEd, LCPC, a certified sex therapist and the author of Gender Magic.
As you explore sex toys, you might discover that “sometimes self-pleasure is exploration without orgasm and there is great benefit to that as well,” Celina Gomes, a certified sex educator and pleasure mentor. “Just spending more time becoming more familiar with our bodies, being kind to ourselves with caring touch can make us feel more connected and safer existing in them when society is going to lengths to cause so much harm [in the queer community].”
Using sex toys can improve your health too. For example, sexual pleasure can help to release feel-good chemicals such as oxytocin, and help to reduce anxiety and stress. This can lead to better sleep, pain-relief and increased libido, according to the Cleveland Clinic.
Overall, while you’re shopping, “the important mindset to go in with is experimentation and play,” says McDaniel. “There’s no wrong answer. If you get something and you don’t like it, that’s just data in discovering what you do like.”
