Well I am not a woman but I have bought dildoes for most of the women I have been sexually involved with over the last few decades. I am fairly sure that more women would own one if guys bought them for them and didn’t make a big deal of it. ---

I find that lifelike ones in soft purple plastic are received best. Try to buy one smaller than your own equipment but make a comment about how big they make them now… and you thought you may as well buy the biggest one they make ---

Soft and purple is only lifelike in very unfortunate circumstances. ---

[QUOTE=Anaamika] :rolleyes: And most women can also buy themselves one. Online ordering, donchaknow. [/QUOTE] Yep. Then we can even choose what we _like_, as well, instead of clumsy boyfriends bringing home the wrong size or something _they_ think would be fun. Hey, it’s great fun to use them together, but if it’s going in the lady, she should have a say in what she wants. When it goes in the man, he should have his say, as well. Nothing wrong with that, just be sure to buy two: one for you, one for her. And \*never \* use one that has been used for anal in the vagina. Clean thoroughly after each use. Safety first, kids! ---

[QUOTE=Anaamika] :rolleyes: And most women can also buy themselves one. Online ordering, donchaknow. [/QUOTE] Sorry, gotta side with **don’t ask** on this. Some men are insecure around sex toys (aka wimps-with-penis-issues). If more men supported their use, and bought them as presents, then sure, more women would own them. I have seen plenty threads here with women saying they never bought one, or asking about what kind they should buy, and I recall they were experienced in sex, just not in toys. So while an 18-yr old woman with a credit card CAN order online, not many do, or so it seems. -Tcat ---

Or at least go with him and choose. Better you discover your sexuality yourselves. And if he is intimidated by a sex toy, he needs to grow up, as Tomcat implies. ---

Yes, several. There is usually at least one sitting out in the open on my bedside table; so far, none of my boyfriends have had a problem with that. (Not that they expressed to me, anyway.) ---
