If there’s one area where misconceptions stick around, it’s sex toys. Between taboos, awkwardness, and fantasies, many still believe they’re reserved for certain people or that they signal some kind of lack. Spoiler: that’s absolutely not the case!
At LEO Plaisir, we believe pleasure is for everyone — and deserves to be lived without filters. So here’s your invitation to break down ten persistent myths, with humor, boldness, and kindness.
1. “Sex toys are for women”
False. Completely false.
Pleasure has no gender or single expression. There are toys designed for all anatomies: clitoris, penis, anus, prostate, vulva… everyone can play, explore, and feel good.
Sex toys are tools of orgasmic equality, not exclusion.
2. “They’re just for single people”
Another myth: sex toys as “replacements” for singles. In reality, they’re fantastic allies for partnered play (or more).
Couples who integrate them into their intimate moments often report more communication, more closeness… and more laughter.
A couples’ vibrator like the We-Vibe Sync 2 can become your partner-in-crime for nights that are as sensual as they are connected.
3. “Toys replace partners”
No, they don’t replace anyone. They complement.
A sex toy won’t take away the warmth of a look or the magic of a kiss. It simply expands the pleasure palette — like adding a new instrument to your sensual orchestra.
The human body loves varied sensations; toys are just another way to play.
4. “They’re dangerous for your health”
Not when you choose well.
Serious brands use safe materials like medical-grade silicone, stainless steel, or tempered glass.
The real danger? Poor cleaning. A gentle cleaner like Frotti-Frotta keeps your toys spotless and ready to get back to work anytime.
5. “They’re complicated to use”
You don’t need to be an engineer to enjoy yourself.
There are endless models, from ultra-simple to highly sophisticated.
Some prefer minimalist toys — one button, one vibration, one promise kept. Others like multiple modes, intensities, or remote controls.
What matters isn’t the number of features, but how good it makes you feel. Whether you love the one-click approach or the full menu, there’s a toy for you.
6. “They’re always expensive”
Pleasure doesn’t require a luxury budget.
Sure, some toys are high-tech gems, but plenty of accessible, durable, performant models exist. You can find great toys between $40 and $70 — perfect for beginners discovering what makes them tingle.
Good news: LEO Plaisir has tons of options in that range, with zero compromise on quality or sensation. Check them out.
And between us… investing in your pleasure is rarely a regret. 😘
7. “If my partner wants to use one, they must not be satisfied”
Not at all. Suggesting a toy isn’t a sign of lack — it’s a sign of trust and curiosity. It’s a way to explore together, not fill a void.
Toys can rekindle desire, spark new moments of intimacy, and take pressure off performance. They help bring pleasure back to the center.
In a duo, toys aren’t rivals — they’re allies. They don’t replace your partner; they simply add another layer to the experience.
8. “You’re always better off on your own”
Maybe… but you can be even better off with a little support.
Sex toys are incredible self-love partners: they help you explore your pleasure, understand what you enjoy, and reconnect with your body without pressure.
A well-known pleasure is a pleasure better shared later.
9. “If a woman uses a toy, she won’t orgasm otherwise”
One of the most absurd myths out there.
Pleasure doesn’t “damage” the body — it teaches it to access pleasure more easily.
Sex toys don’t desensitize you; they help you know yourself better.
That’s a superpower in your intimate life.
10. “Using a sex toy is shameful”
Pleasure has never been shameful.
Today, toys are proudly embraced: on nightstands, in suitcases, even in conversations.
They’re a form of well-being, exploration, and autonomy.
At LEO Plaisir, we celebrate pleasure without taboo or judgment — with style, quality, and freedom.
Pleasure has the last word
Sex toys aren’t shameful gadgets or symbols of loneliness. They’re companions of pleasure, tools of exploration, and sources of empowerment.
Whether you play alone or with others, the most important thing is to dare!
