My apologies if I have offended you Broken Doll. I didn’t mean to imply that you’d said anything wrong, I was just trying to speculate as to why Jmpride did a duck-and-cover after your post.
In fact, I think starkyld did a far better job at weeding out the potentially contentious statement.
If the part that offended you on my part was the “lack of imagination” quote I should probably have put that in its proper context:
I have a friend who is infuriated by the assumption that “all lesbians must use dildos because the’s the only way they can have sex.” When she hears that, there is much gnashing of teeth. Her reasons for hating the assumption are numerous, but it boils down to a) most of what Starkyld addressed above and b) the myth that “you still need a penis to be satisfied.” (That one makes steam come out of her ears!)
I once witnessed a bizarre conversation between my friend and a drunken lout that went along the lines of:
Lout: "If you say you don’t have a dildo, you’re lying. You have to use a dildo if you want to have sex.
Friend: “You have no imagination.”
Lout: “You have no choice!”
As we all seem to agree, the Lout was truly clueless.
The OP asked, why do so many lesbians use penis-like dildos. I think the answer is going to remain:
For women who like toys (lesbian, straight or otherwise) the phallic dildos are probably the easiest toys to find unless you have a specialty shop in town or a catalog that has a greater variety of styles.
