[QUOTE=Wildfire\*\*MM] I think we should ban dildos. these sex-toys should be taken away from every woman [/QUOTE] Good luck with _that_. After just one taste, we’ll start looking for something else. _Anything_ that hums and vibrates will do. Electric toothbrush handles… hell, it doesn’t even have to _vibrate_, it just needs to be clean and in approximately the right size/shape… At least _I’d_ do anything to avoid having sex with a man who was afraid of sex toys. If my husband _banned_ them, he’d never get laid again, and I’d leave with all his porn. 😛 Never happen. My husband is a good man with plenty of porn and no problem with my toys. 😃 On preview: **jjimm** … I… I… I think I love you! :eek: ---

[QUOTE=Wildfire\*\*MM] I think we should ban dildos. these sex-toys should be taken away from every woman [/QUOTE] There is a fine line between bravery and stupidity. This would be filed under “asking to be fed one’s own cojones.” ---

A lot of women use things they find around the house rather than buying toys from sex shops. The two most popular ones that I’ve heard from many women are squiggly pens and electric toothbrushes. I own two dildos. ---

[/QUOTE] Do veggies go into the ‘around the house’ category or are they purchased for special purposes only?.. I mean ladies, when you making out your grocery list, do you think “I should get a cucumber to shove in my twat this weekend… Oh, and I need some butter, and some milk too…”… ---

I own somewhere between 5 and 10. If you count the toys I keep for party displays (It’s like Tupperware or Partylite, but more exciting), I probably have about 40 sex toys and 10 lubricants in my possession at any given time. Another word on safety… It’s recommended that if you’re going to use the soft, jelly like dildos that you do so with a condom. The jelly plastic releases phthalates that may be harmful for long-term use. Also, if you get silicon (usually referred to as Cyberskin and AWESOME, imo) toys, make sure that you don’t use them with silicon lubricants or store them against other silicon toys. Apparently, they melt. ---

A nearly content-free OP followed up by a bold, yet simple, declaration you must have known would raise hackles around here? These kinds of “gotcha” threads are as close to trolling as you can get. Don’t do it again. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-many-women-here-own-a-dildo/374058.md?page=1)
