Trying toys for the first time?

Trying toys for the first time?

Everyone remembers their first…

No, not your first phone. Or your first anime obsession.
We’re talking about that first time.

The sneaky buzz. The blankets pulled up. The moment your brain went: “oh… so THIS is what the hype’s about.”
Not exactly a dinner-table story, but absolutely a core memory.

If you’re reading this with a little FOMO- relax. You’re not late, you’re just on your own timeline. And welcome to the sex toy era, FreakGeek-style. Let’s get you levelled up!

The Best Sex Toys for Beginners (No Boss Fight Required)

Sex toys can feel intimidating at first. So many shapes. So many buttons. So many “is it meant to do that?” moments.

Don’t stress - this is your starter pack. No experience required.

1. Vibrators (aka: The Gateway Toy)

If sex toys had a tutorial mode, vibrators would be it.

For beginners, Simple vibrators are elite-tier:

  • Small

  • Discreet

  • Surprisingly powerful (don’t underestimate them)

Perfect for clitoral stimulation, solo play, or testing the waters without committing to anything massive (literally or emotionally). Many come with adjustable speeds, so you’re always in control. Start low, build up, enjoy the ride.

Affordable, effective, iconic. 10/10 would recommend.

And if you're really worried about noise, then here's our whisper quiet Discreet Vibe. We got you! 

2. Dildos: Choose Your Fighter

Dildos come in many forms - realistic, abstract, smooth, textured, subtle, not-so-subtle.

Beginner tip:
You don’t need to go big to go home happy.

Some people love realistic designs; others prefer sleek, minimal shapes. Veins, ridges, curves - it’s all about what you find stimulating. There’s no “correct” choice, just vibes (pun intended).

Pro rule: lube is not optional. Be kind to yourself.

Check out our starter Dildos.

3. Rabbit-Style Toys: Multitasking Legends

Why choose between internal and external stimulation when you can have both?

Rabbit-style toys combine:

  • A vibrating shaft for penetration

  • An external stimulator (often ear-shaped) for clitoral pleasure

They’re a little more advanced than a bullet, but still beginner-friendly if you’re feeling curious. Think of them as the dual-monitor setup of sex toys. Once you try it, you’ll get it.

4. Cock Rings: Co-op Mode Activated

Sex toys aren’t just for solo players.

Cock rings are a great intro toy for couples:

  • Help maintain firmness

  • Increase sensitivity

  • Some include vibration for shared stimulation

Easy to use, low pressure, high reward. Everybody wins.

Feeling Brave? Let’s Talk Anal (Gently)

If the idea of backdoor exploration sparks curiosity (or nerves - both are valid), start small.

Beginner-friendly anal toys include:

They’re designed with safety in mind and are suitable for solo or partnered play. Take it slow, use plenty of lube, and never rush. This is exploration, not a speedrun.

 

Beginner Toys for Men (Yes, You Too)

Gentle reminder: pleasure is for everyone.

Beyond cock rings and anal toys, male masturbators are a game-changer:

  • Soft internal textures

  • Some with vibration

  • Discreet designs that don’t scream “sex toy”

They’re basically a massive upgrade from using your hand alone. Once you try one, there’s no going back.

The FreakGeek Do’s & Don’ts of Sex Toys

✅ DO:

  • Use water-based lube (especially with silicone toys)

  • Clean toys after every use (before too, if you’re extra cautious)

  • Use protection when sharing toys with partners

❌ DON’T:

  • Share insertable toys without protection (just….don’t)

  • Use anal toys without a flared base (A&E is not a vibe)

  • Throw toys loose into a dusty drawer — store them properly

Your future self will thank you.

When Should You Replace a Sex Toy?

If it’s damaged, leaking batteries, smells weird, or looks like it’s seen things — it’s time.

Luckily, upgrading your toy collection is self-care. You don’t need much of an excuse.

Ready to Play?

You’re officially educated, slightly excited, and dangerously close to checkout.

Take your time. Explore. Experiment. Find what works for you.
There’s no rush - pleasure isn’t a competition.
