They can be used as just fun toys, as tools to explore your sexuality, or even as "helping hands" to those with limited mobility or strength.

I was invited to address these questions, along with several other people who blog about pain, by How To Cope With Pain. To see all the other posts, go to the How To Cope With Pain blog.
