Not quite as lofty as Anais, but you might also look into some of Nancy Friday’s books. You know, she’s the one who collects women’s fantasies and publishes them as research. My Secret Garden (at least, I think that’s what it’s called, although now that I see it in writing, it looks disturbingly similar to the children’s book) and Women on Top are two of her titles. ---

**Superdude** , did you not read the title? Because I had you, specifically, in mind when I asked “slobbery men” to stay away. Go spray your pheremones elsewhere if that’s all you have to contribute. **delphica** - I read Friday’s collection of men’s fantasies, called Men In Love. Good suggestions, **Zanshin** , **Ayesha** , and **plnnr** > [@](#): > > _originally posted by Pablito_ > Or recommend that she find a lover who will go down on her. I’ve found that cunnilingus will help even the most reluctant clitoris to stand up and have a fit. Thanks for the advice, is there a retail outlet nearby where these are available? The whole point is that she needs to figure out how to come _by herself_. Then the next time she is with a lover, she’ll be on a hair trigger. And cunnilingus doesn’t work for everyone, or she woulda had the big O by now. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by magdalene \* > \*\* > **LiquidLobotomy** , I need to get one of those for ME! Excellent idea, although are they easily bought without knowing anything about the person’s shower? > \*\* Oh they are very easy to install, noadays they even include the tools and instructions in the box. Just open the box and make sure all the parts are there. I bought one a while back (for a different house) and found out that I was missing a washer. Very annoying. But yeah, I knew nothing about showers (aside from washing myself in one) before I hooked it up. It took 25 minutes and wasn’t a problem. ---

Silver Bullets are the best sex toy around, I swear. I bought them for all my friends for Christmas last year, and you can find them in most sex toy stores. You get two little egg-shaped ball thingies on seperate strings that vibrate and a remote control. If she can’t have an orgasm with those, I don’t think anyone can help her. I can’t remember the damn name, but there is a line of very-high quality sex oils that smell and taste delicious. You can get them at most toy stores too, but they are a bit expensive. As for mood music, I highly recommend either _Voodoo_ or _Brown Sugar_ by D’Angelo. Hope that helps! 🙂 ---

I’ve heard good things about this book: [http://shop.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?salesurl=&isbn=0385112459](http://shop.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?salesurl=&isbn=0385112459) I believe the author was one of the people involved in creating Good Vibrations, which was one of the first sex shops geared towards women. I remember its first incarnation in a little storefront in Oakland. They had to take a look at you first and then buzz you in if you didn’t look like a troublemaking perv. I think men were required to have a female escort. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by magdalene \* > > > [@](#): > > > > and Ben Wa balls can be fun too, depending on how open-minded your pal is. > > **belladonna** , a pair of these were in my original Sex Box, and I just don’t get them. Can you explain? Ok **magdalene** –I had to wait until I got home until I answered you on this. I didn’t figure my employer would appreciate me linking to [naughty sites](http://www.mypleasure.com/education/guide/benwaballs.asp?AID=Inktomi) on office equipment. If you already know what they are and just didn’t like them, I don’t know what to tell you about that. In my experience, however, they’re worth a try. You want to find a pair with a heavy center that will produce maximum vibrations–I’ve seen some that felt almost liquidy inside (think oriental chime balls–on a smaller scale) and those looked promising too. One of the main attractions, for me anyway, is the clandestine thrill of walking down the street knowing that everyone you come across is oblivious to your little _secret_. 😉 Rocking chairs, hula hoops (don’t laugh!), and even rythmic dancing can enhance the experience. Above all, I think you just need to be very patient and very focused to get the most out of them. YMMV bella [sub] **Superdude** –down boy, down. You’re gonna get me flamed again! 🙂 [/sub] ---

Oooooooh, gotta chime in here and second (third?) the massaging shower head. Make sure you get one that has the setting where it sends out repetitive short hard bursts of water. Oh. My. God… Heh. I recently threw a sex toys party for a friend’s birthday. The 12 of us spent a lot of money on a wide variety of toys, and the feedback I have gotten indicates that everybody should have a Ladybug and a Jelly Eager Beaver. (The Beaver gets my enthusiastic personal endorsement, too). You are indeed a good friend. ---

While my first post may not have been on target, it was not quite the lecherous, shameless flirt that **magdalene** seemed to imply. **Belladonna** and I _do_ have a date coming up. I don’t think it was inappropriate to make a reference to that. If you disagree, fine. If anyone wants to debate it further, take it to the Pit. ---

Threatening us with how you COULD have hijacked the thread is not a valid argument. Can’t you keep exchanges about your dates to email? Mods, can you close this? ---

Before this is closed by the request of the OP, I’d like to add: > [@](#): > > I know you’ve already listed a massager, but your friend might need something with a little more staying power (plugs in rather than using batteries). I don’t think I’d feel comfortable placing something that is _attached to a wall outlet_ inside me somewhere that’s bound to be wet. You know those little warnings on hair dryers? Yeah… ---

Judge Coldfire presiding. I agree with **magdalene**. She asked for specific answers. While no one is in a position to precisely dictate the course their thread will take, posting a flirting remark that could have easily been addressed per e-mail _does_ constitute a breach of that polite and simple request. Apart from that, I kinda wish for an official SDMB Non-Flirt Day myself. I have to _read_ all this, you know. Closed at the request of the OP.
