Sex toys have not always been used as objects of sexual pleasure, but also as therapeutic instruments of male domination. The objective of this research was to understand the meanings of the uses of sex toys by women. Fifteen cisgender women participated in this research and their answers were organized into two categories analyzed from arguments about counter-sexuality and pharmacopornographic society. The main results highlighted positive aspects (sexual pleasure, mental health and female empowerment; new sexual experiences; self-knowledge) and negative aspects (high cost; guilt for masturbation; judgment by other) in the use of sex toys. We highlight the potential of these objects as producers of sexuality dispositive.
