Did you know that people have been using sex toys for... well... ever? Archaeologists have found rock dildos dating back thousands of years! This indicates the importance of sexual pleasure pretty much throughout human history. People have always wanted to get off and have always found creative ways to do it.
Another long-established pleasure device is Ben-wa Balls. While they can go by other names, these straightforward toys date back to ancient Far Eastern cultures including Burma and China. Simply put, Ben-wa balls are spherical objects inserted into the vaginal or possibly the anus. They move with your motions, touching all of the fun, sensitive bits deep inside you.
Recently, Ben-wa balls were popularized by Fifty Shades of Grey, but their use is far more versatile than depicted in the book. Because they are so simple, you can combine Ben-wa balls with nearly every sexual activity, with the exception of actual intercourse. Oral and manual stimulation are heightened significantly when the toy is also present. And you can also have them in for lengths of time while you perform these same acts.
Ben-wa balls come in a variety of shapes, sizes, colours, materials and textures. You are, pretty much, able to pick and choose your personal fancy. Traditional ones are hollow, metal and some even have a free weight or ball inside that moves around adding new pressure sensations as they caress your insides.
Using these neat little toys is pretty simple. Lube them up and slip them in. If you are trying metal ones, hold them in your hands a while first to warm them up. Once you're done, they can be gently guided out with pressure and gravity. Some come tethered on a string for easier removal - and if you're using them anally, that string is essential. You really don't want them getting lost inside! At the same time, remember this fun trick with the string: as your partner approaches orgasm, slowly pull on the balls, tugging them toward withdraw. As they orgasm, pop the toys out through their tightened hole. Ecstasy!
Ben-was balls aren't just for fun - but their other purpose can lead to better sex. Squeezing and holding the balls in your body will exercise your pelvic floor, or, Kegel muscles. Your Ben-wa balls can become part of your workout routine! Strengthening these muscles, particularly for women, helps deal with the lost muscle tone that comes with age and child-birth. They give you better control of your entire pelvis.
And yes, indeed, you can walk around with them in. You can roam around the house, go to work, go on a date - anything! But you shouldn't try this until you've mastered how to keep them in. It is a great thrill of being sexually pleased while going about your day.
Ben-wa balls are a great toy to have in your collection - helping you feel good and really, really good! You can see our full range of Ben-wa balls here.
