It seems, to me, that there is a wide gulf in the market of available “toys” for self-pleasure. What I mean is, when you compare the available methods or equipment available for each sex to utilize in their masturbatory shenanigans, women come out on top…uh, they come out a-head…hmmm, they spank the men…let’s just say that they have more potential “toys,” okay?
Let’s take a look at the methods available, in fact or at least anecdotally:
For women[list=1][li]Their hand(s).[/li][li]Dildo(s) (including vegetables.)[/li][li]Vibrator(s).[/li][li]Sibian (or whatever).[/li][li]Washing machines on spin-cycle.[/li][li]Sitting with cross-legged bouncing.[/li][li]Riding a horse and getting into the saddle.[/li][li]Vibrating panties.[/li][li]Etc. etc. …[/list=1]For men[list=1][]Their hand(s).[/li][li]Ronco’s Pocket pal or whatever.[/li][li]Ender’s mattress vagina.[/li][]…that’s it.[/list=1]What’s the deal, are women just that much more horny that they need all those extra tools? Is it that they are able to get off on just about anything and the chant “Men get hard when the breeze blows” is just a clever diversion from their rampant lustful ways? What’s the Straight Dope on women having so many more available sex toys than men, who are reputedly much more randy, when it would seem that not only are we on about equal schedules, we feel the same about it’s impact on relationships?
Toys aren’t used only for masturbation. Sometimes it’s fun to have my man use my toys on me! But you are right… women have a greater variety to choose from!

Many toys that you list for women are often used by men… straight and gay. I’ve known straight boys who appreciated a butt plug or a dildo. You forgot to list buttplugs, lubricants, anal beads, ben-wa balls, nipple clamps, and cock rings.
Well, see, my take on that is that those are used in conjunction with masturbation, as opposed to the device/operation/whatever actually used in the direct application of stimulating the sex-specific organ(s) to climax.
Juniper you’ve been holding out on us! And, ftr, I have no “gadgets” of this sort lying around…yet. Christmas is coming…
To whit: “Women have a more difficult time masturbating than guys, so they need more toys to do it successfully.”
Note: I am not saying that women are less horny than guys - though society might expect them to act that way. Nor am I saying (necessarily) that women are physically more difficult to stimulate. If anything, I would say that because it’s not socially acceptable for girls to “dial “O” on the pink telephone”, they get less practice. And that’s why it can be more difficult for them. (Though I suspect the younger generation has mainly shed this handicap and has a lot less trouble…)

Hmm. Seems I can’t get enough of this topic. You guys are gonna get all the wrong ideas about me…
Anyway, I just had to tell you about this very cool gadget me and the S.O found. It a pair of black leather thongs, with a little pocket in front for - thats right, a vibrator. Its so small its invisible under clothing (you even need to look close at the panties to see it) but the fit is nice and snug. Hits the spot, as it were. But thats not the coolest thing - its controlled with a remote small enough to be concealed in my S.O’s hand… When we go out I’m tossed between anticipation and stimulation. Sometimes in the middle of a conversation with a wholly unaware person… By the time we get home I’m ready to explode - in a good way
Twilight, what’s it called, and where’d you get it? I think there’s something similar called the remote butterfly, which I thought would be a fun thing to play with with my girlfriend, but this sounds a little different.
I have to agree with ModernRonin. Women are more difficult to please, physically, without using tools. At least if you want to be, um, filled.
Having said that, I have some fun stuff in a drawer, but frankly, I’ve found that my fingers can top any tool I’ve come across so far. And for that OMG! I’m completely filled!-feeling, nothing can compare to the real thing. God, I do love dicks.
However… Twiligh? Those panties? Care to go shopping with me one day?
I have the Remote Butterfly, and it is very very nice. Unfortunately I’ve only used it once - made for a fun car trip, and we didn’t actually crash, so I guess it didn’t distract him too much. I thought it would get a second try this weekend, but some men just don’t know a good thing when they see it. Maybe the next Dopefest…
Could any woman who’s ever actually considered horseback riding a masturbation tool PLEASE come forward? I hear this all the time, and I just don’t believe it. I ride, and it’s not remotely sexual. I can’t imagine what you’d have to be doing to the saddle for this to be true. And I’ve got a…ummm…hair trigger, so I don’t think it’s just me.
Anyway, in answer to the OP, I don’t know why this is, but I feel sad for you guys–toys rock.
