Sex Toys: Pleasure That's Naughty but Nice!

The marriage of luxury and sex was celebrated just a few years ago with the arrival of sex toys. Vibrators and other risqué accessories have taken a step up, becoming chic and top of the line. These "new" objects of pleasure are displayed in all their varied forms, without prudery or shame, in certain well-known store windows of our capital.


Suggestive articles and streamlined design

Across the Channel, the concept is by no means new, and sex toys have been a best seller for quite some time in lingerie shops or trendy, modern sex shops.In these naughty places, you will find both stylish businessmen who are letting their hair down and far-out junkies, fifty-something couples in search of variety as well as students looking for something new. In London, boutiques like Myla, (refined lingerie and sex toys), Agent Provocateur or Coco de Mer (very stylish), and even Ann Summers (more basic), successfully sell suggestive articles with a streamlined design. The same is true in Paris, at Sonia Rykiel, Daniela in Love, Yoba or Amours, Délices et Orgues.



Liberated imagination thanks to "Sex and the City"
Across the ocean, the Americans, once known for their puritanism, have also become liberated and freed from a number of inhibitions. Thanks, on the one hand, to the famous television series "Sex and the City", it is now easier for them to let their imaginations run wild. On the other, the celebrated "Victoria's Secret" catalog allows them to leisurely consult, compare and order fine lingerie and naughty accessories.



The 21st-century dildo: an accessory to pleasure
Today, it is an established fact that the dildo, the 21st century version, has become a recognized pleasure accessory for caressing the body and the senses. It is no longer reduced to its original primary function but has become a stimulus for the imagination, a pleasure to be shared with a companion, as imagination wanders from desire to pleasure. Is France, well behind the sex toy leaders, ready to throw its prudishness and shyness out the window and eager to begin a new offensive? This would seem to be the case, if we count the number of boutiques being opened or that are enlarging their offer of these new accessories: Nathalie Rykiel, Amours, Délices et Orgues, Boutique Yoba, Lovestore, Agent Provocateur at Le Printemps, etc.



The dildo recovers its esteem
Once taboo, this intimate object has earned new respect. For the French, the word for dildo, "godemichet", has become banalized, vulgarized and often the source of jokes. It takes its roots from the Latin injunction "gaude mihi" (gladden me). But the dildo has always been around. Archeologists have even found evidence for its existence in the Stone Age, when dildos were carved from flint. As civilization advanced, these objects reflected technical progress: they were made in terra cotta in the Age of Fire, in precious metals in the glorious times of the pharaohs, in leather in the Middle Ages and in silicon in the 21st century.



Amours, Délices et Orgues, a world of sexy objects
At Amours, Délices et Orgues in Paris, a pretty little store teeming with tons of sexy and titillating objects, you'll find the second skin sex toy by Matalie Crasset. Presented as a sculptural object, it offers both aesthetics and performance and becomes almost a daily invitation. Offering a range that mixes categories, this boutique is a place that will satisfy both men and women.

Fine lingerie, sex toys, perfumed oils, jewelry and accessories: these stimulate both tame or
wild imaginations, providing you with pleasure or facilitating its discovery. Pleasure pages Whereas a stroll to a sex shop openly implies curiosity about these sex toys, surfing undisturbed on the Internet provides both discretion and total anonymity.
A number of Internet sales sites have been created. In particular, the site of Christian Foch, called chambre 69.com, allows buying vibrating objects, not of pleasure but for pleasure. To be consumed with ardor.
The sotfparis.com site also offers some nice surprises, like bodytalk: the telephone rings and the vibrator starts... for a very intimate phone call.
Or the spheres at sexyavenue.com.
For delicious loving, you must first love yourself in order to accept being desired!
