I couldn’t find a recent thread on this topic, so I just gotta ask! I’m 48, and NOT inexperienced in the world of sex, but this week was a “first” for me, just proving that you are never too old for new tricks. Boyfriend & I used a “Rabbit” sex toy the other night. I have used one other vibe in my life, and only ALONE, and not often…but nothing like the whirly-gig, bead-filled, thrusting-action, rippled & ribbed, 4-speed including “tickler” attachments “Mr Rabbit” device this was. It could do everything but the dishes, tho to be honest, I didn’t try, so I could be mistaken! Um. Not impressed. I mean, it worked…but no replacement in any way for the “real thing”. Tho you must appreciate a guy who is willing to experiment with his woman for her own satisfaction, and I DO, oh yes I DO! That was by far the best part of the whole experience for me & I made sure he knew it. But I think he expected Mr Rabbit to rock my world, and there was just no hiding that it wasn’t at that level for me. So that’s my question: Have you ever used a device like this with lots o’ bells n’ whistles, and if so, were YOU impressed? Did you use it alone or with your lover, and which gave you the biggest thrill (this sounds like a foolish question, but many folks get off harder/better when alone, I understand)? Would you, or have you, done it again and again? If it’s the best thing since ice cream for you, tell me why. Maybe there’s a mindset a person just need to get into, to maximize effect? OK, so that’s a set of questions. Esteemed peers, help a gal to help herself, wouldja, couldja? –Beck ---

Sounds like you need to get your hands on a sybian machine. That’ll get googled now. ---

I opened this thread, expecting a question about all things fuzzy and hoppy… and blushed a little upon actually reading it. I was about to sneak out, all red-faced, when I realized I actually had something to contribute. On a whim, I bought a [Dolphin vibrating cock ring](http://www.babeland.com/page/TIB/PROD/men-couples-vibrating/YC215075) and gave it to my boyfriend as a special Thursday surpise. As a stimulator, it left me a little… well, numb. But the reaction from him – looking at me wide-eyed and hungry, as if I was a Wanton Sex Goddess – made it an excellent experience for the both of us. One of the best parts of whole episode was walking into the store, asking the guy in the shop for one of these dohickeys, and then wandering out again with the Toys in Babeland bag proudly swinging in my hand. I felt confident, adventurous, and like everyone around me could see that I was an exciting little number. ---

I’m sorry, but that Rabbit thing scares the living hell out of me and I am not letting it anywhere near my happy parts. ---

> [@Rebecca DiMwitter](#): > > So that’s my question: Have you ever used a device like this with lots o’ bells n’ whistles, and if so, were YOU impressed? I don’t know about “bells n’ whistles,” but I have two vibrators with variations on the “Twist and Shake” theme. I don’t think I was impressed the first time I used one; it took a few times to figure out the best ways to use it. Once I got the hang of it, I really liked it. > [@Rebecca DiMwitter](#): > > Did you use it alone or with your lover, and which gave you the biggest thrill (this sounds like a foolish question, but many folks get off harder/better when alone, I understand)? I’ve used them almost exclusively by myself. My last ex did use one of them on me, and I found it a lot more enjoyable than using it by myself. > [@Rebecca DiMwitter](#): > > Would you, or have you, done it again and again? If it’s the best thing since ice cream for you, tell me why. Maybe there’s a mindset a person just need to get into, to maximize effect? I’ll definitely keep using them, both by myself and (presumably) with the guy I’ve just started dating. I don’t know about a mindset, I enjoy them because the vibrations and twisties feel good. > [@Rebecca DiMwitter](#): > > …but no replacement in any way for the “real thing”. Last night, my guy asked me, if my vibrators can do all these “extra” things, why would I even want sex with a real person? It seems obvious to me, but I guess it wasn’t to him. Well, my vibrators are like tools. When I want to get off, they get the job done. Yeah, they’re really good at stimulating one small area of my body, but he can stimulate my entire body, not to mention that no vibrator can ever provide the kind of mental and emotional stimulation that a real live person can. ---

I got mine based on the recommendation of a friend, and I love it! It’s never been easy for me to reach orgasm, and this little guy makes it a sure thing. I’ll use it by myself, or hubby will take charge as part of sex. ---

It’s not an every time sorta thing- you def. have to be in a moon- but it’s tons of fun. I’ve used it with boys (on me, not them) and they thought it was neat and fun. I’ve never had any complaints. If they want to use toys, they can go to the drawer and pick one out- usually the Rabbit leaves them a bit. . . wide eyed, but that’s almost always the one they choose. Go figure. If it’s not for you, it’s not for you. Like I said, it’s definitely not an every time sorta thing. Personal but: did you use a ton of lube? For that thing to really work its magic, things have got to be well. . . er . . . lubricated. I can’t imagine using it without anything extra. ---

I can’t imagine using it without anything extra. Hmmm…not sure how to say this, but I am lucky enough not to need lube yet. I know I’m practically “ancient”, but haven’t had any trouble with this ever, in fact many times still have trouble with “overproduction”. Someday soon my luck will run out but so far, so good. (The ladies in my family both started menstruating very late and apparently we stop doing so very late as well.) So…no. That was not the problem. I just didn’t find it as “mindbending” as HE thought I would. Perhaps I need to practice a little on my own? I am quite willing to try this particular Energizer Bunny again, especially since you praise it so exceptionally. Twist my arm, willya? ---

> [@Least Original User Name Ever](#): > > I’ll shut up now. Please. Anyway, the “bells and whistles” ones can be good, sometimes. I used to use my [Mermaid](http://www.funfactory.de/new_shop/produkte.php?hmenuid=2&menuid=27&produktid=52&pmenuid=9&) all the time, whether alone or between sessions with a partner (there’s one huge advantage to these things - as long as you’ve got batteries, they keep going and going). However, I go through phases with these just like anything else, and lately my [LAYAspot](http://www.funfactory.de/new_shop/produkte.php?menuid=30&pmenuid=9&hmenuid=2&) external waterproof vibe has been rocking my world. Using it with a partner is fun too - sometimes I feel a little too pornstar-ish when I bring out the big ol’ vibrator, and that’s not always a good thing. Note #1 - these pics probably aren’t “worksafe” in that they’re pictures of sex toys, but there’s nothing porny about the site at all, so I believe I don’t need to go with the two-click rule. Note #2 - Fun Factory toys are the greatest ones I’ve ever tried. Easy to clean, high quality, excellent workmanship. I highly recommend them,. ---

Several years ago I was seriously squicked out when I read on a nightclub’s webpage (after a night of boredome-induced surfing of weird sites) that their club had a Sybian. (They were a club in, I think Canada? that had swingers events with apprantly lots of sexual activity.) Anyway, the idea of a public Sybian just ooged me bigtime. As for the rabbit… I think it depends a lot on which one you get. There are ones that are $20 and ones that are $100 and it does make a difference. The original one (the expensive one) has been recommended to me by people I trust as the best sex toy ever. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/do-rabbits-do-it-for-you/359928.md?page=2)
