So anyway, I’m going away for the weekend with a new SO. She wanted me to get some new toys for the weekend so I got a set of Ben Wa balls, along with some other things. I’ve used them a few times in the past, but now I’m looking for some suggestions of how to use them better. In the past I’ve left them in during sex and off the top of my head that’s about it. I do remember reading that they can be left in for a bit so I was planning on having her leave them in during dinner. So I’m looking for good ideas on what I can do with them. I’m sure there have to be a few people around here that know what I can do with them. Also any precautions would also be nice, I don’t want to lose them. ---

I obviously don’t get out enough. I thought there was only the one thing you could do with them–put them in, then go about your daily business? ---

Tie strings to them? Make yourself a set of ‘clackers’? It’ll be like 1974 all over again! ---

Leave them in through airport security. Hilarity ensues, maybe. ---

I have no answer for you, I just wanted to congratulate you on your proper use of the word recommend! For some reason, I too often see “recommend me a …” It is good to see others who know the language. ---

Christmas is coming (hmmm… might be a pun in here if I change the spelling… nah), why not hang them over the door as a type of mistletoe? But instead of kissing… ---

Instead of just getting spherical ones, get a large assortment of different shapes and sizes. Then, with her blindfolded, you can play “Ok, now what kind of shape is this one?” Scoring optional. ---

I suggest an afternoon in front of the grocery store on the coin-operated pony ride… and a few rolls of quarters.
