You have a point, Arden…Doing and observing are two very different things, I know…😛 To Asterion: Yeah, I’m getting a little tired of Sabian myself; I might try Paiste whenever cash flow permits. If you mispronounce “Paiste” it sounds rather like what could be used as a a marital aid, so I didn’t hijack the OP! 😃 ---

Best marital aid? … What about _communication_? Works for me. As for toys and the such, massage oils are quite nice. Vibrating eggs are enjoyable but I found they can get quite hot rather quickly and on such delicate skin… yeowch!! :eek: Dildos aren’t bad - during the summer that is cos at room temperature the silicon/rubber (whichever you prefer) is fairly warm. But… and this is a **big** but, during the winter, who wants an ice-cold piece being waved in your wonderfully warm direction??? No thank _you_!!! I would love to try a swing, but afraid the ceiling might not be up to it - we’d need to reinforce the beams!! How would we explain this to whomever came to fix it… Brings a whole new concept of ‘swinging from the chandeliers’… ---

Wifecat’s favorite is a plain, small, cheap battery operated vibrator that I bought on a whim one day. The thing looks cheap, and you can’t leave the batery in or else it drains it. I’ve since bought others, but she keeps going back to that one. The ‘Pocket Rocket’ with the sleeve is the #2 choice. I personally have tried an artificial vagina, and was not impressed. For me: Abolene makeup remover is the best (non-condom) lube around! Handjobs are SOOOOOO intense with that stuff…I like them as much as bj’s, sometimes more. Wifecat (or me) can get me to the edge and then slow-down, r e a l s l o w, and I will ride it for up to 5, 10 minutes, then have a mind-blowing-and-moaning orgasm…better than any toy I’ve tried. You’ve gotta try this stuff! It adds something to your basket of choices, and for those whose partners aren’t into oral, this is a VERY good alternative. Buy it at the local drug store, blue lid for unscented. OK, who’s going to be the first to admit their penchant for butt-plugs? C’mon, ya know you wanna! Anyone? Anyone? C’mon! Is it really that hard to say “I like the full rectum feeling that only a butt-plug provides.” to a group of strangers? 😛 -Tcat ---

They make wireless remote controlled butt plugs too. I just know, okay? ---

I would **love** to get one of those remote controlled eggs…they look like so much fun. Unfortunately, our finances at the moment are such that I really can’t justify spending 100 bucks on one. When I start working, though…🙂 My favorite at the moment is a waterproof vibrator that we bought at a wonderful adult store up in Connecticut. It’s small, with a sleeve, and instead of a smooth rounded tip, it has a flat top with small, soft latex nubs on it, in concentric circles with the ones in the middle being slightly longer. Pulling that out of the drawer always ensures that a good time is had by all. ---

So has anyone tried the Tongue Joy oral vibrator? It sounds like lots of fun, but I’m hesitant to get one because they’re a little pricey. ---

I haven’t used it, but there is an expensive toy called the Juicer. It’s more square than rounded, and it’s designed to hit the G-spot as you spin it. God, I want one so bad. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Eleusis \* > I’ve never used any toys on myself, but the “bunny rabbit vibrator” has got to be near the top. It vibrates, wiggles, has rotating beads in the shaft, and a little latex vibrating clitoral stimulator. She’s gotten a lot of use out of that one, and absolutely loves it when I use it on her. Might just have to look into that one… ---

Holy tamales! Got to love a forum where this is discussed so casually. As for the remote controlled items, I’ve always wanted one – but wouldn’t this fall under the thrill of discovery as much as the vibration? Location itself (undiscovered, of course) can be a pretty potent ‘marital aid’! ---

You really don’t stand that much chance of discovery. But it’s a game of control. Your partner has control of when and how much and you have to try and maintain enough control not to suddenly scream out “OHGODYES!” in the middle of a conversation on where you bought your shoes.
