I need to go double check all my dog’s toys. I did okay on the first one, but not on the other two. ---

Heh, I missed three on the first round, two on the second round, and none of the third round. And I don’t even have a dog… ---

> [@CrazyCatLady](#): > > I’m sad to admit that if they’d said dog **accessory** instead of dog **toy** , I probably would have said the nubby little finger sleeve was a dog toothbrush. Yup, I also wondered if that was a dog toothbrush. I eventually decided against it. I missed two on the first test. ---

Hey, if anyone knows of a very quiet vibrator that still packs a punch please enlighten me. Thanks! 😃 ---

> [@luluBahrain](#): > > Hey, if anyone knows of a very quiet vibrator that still packs a punch please enlighten me. Thanks! 😃 If you don’t mind a cord, look for a coil-type electric vibrator on the Good Vibrations site. (I can’t link directly to it since I’m at work). They’re about the quietest things on the market and the electric one are always much stronger than the battery operated ones. ---

> [@FaerieBeth](#): > > I purchased it at a Passion Party (think kinky sex tupperware). You can keep your leftovers with those, too? Yep, I got a bunch of passion party stuff from a friend who was closing out her demo devices. Interesting stuff, some of it. No preferences not stated here. But sometimes you can just use ‘standard’ things as well. We’ve got a nice multi-position multi-flow hand held shower head thing. And sturdy furniture. ---

Are all dildos strap-on or harness type? Do they make them that are appropriate for a woman to mount leaving her hands and mouth free to do other things? ---

I don’t really know about the strap-ons and harnesses, but it’s my understanding that not all dildoes are suitable for that type of use. If you’re looking for hands-free solo use, I know some of them have suction cups on the base. You can stick them to any smooth solid surface, vertical or horizontal. (When I threw my party, the rep signalled the start of the actual toy part of the proceedings by turning on the aquarium light and suction cupping a big fake penis to the wall of the tank.) ---

Every woman I’ve ever dated intimately, I’ve given an egg to, and it’s been amazing every time. Hide it under her pillow. 😃 Actually, my wife wore her last one out already and we have to go buy a new one. ---

I bought a strap-on for my wife and her GF a few years ago. A fun experience. Sir, do you prefer the large or small? Ridged or smooth? Damnit! It is not ‘for’ me. it is for my wife & her GF. Sure it is sir, now wjich one do you prefer? 😛 ---

Okay, I have no idea how that would work well. Does anyone have any experience with this sort of thing? Seems like it would pop right out, or at the very least, not be very comfortable to have to bear down on it to keep it in. Seems like you’d need a harness attached to it to work, or at least to get any sort of thrust out of it… Anyone? ---
