this doesn’t sound right. the blades should be removable for cleaning.

I made a perfect score the first time I tried that quiz. Comes of browsing sex toy sites rather more often than I probably should.

This made me howl with laughter. I’m not mocking you. It’s just I’m imagining someone saying this in a matter-of-fact voice.

The oddest things I ever used for masturbation were a large marker and a teddy bear. I thought the teddy bear’s beady little plastic eyes looked at me reproachfully ever after.

Groan.

Don’t mistake that for a groan of pleasure. It’s just _groan_. 😃

Ah, but my _digits_ are neither unusually odd nor interesting, so I didn’t think they merited comment.

Though I’ll grant that they were certainly _integral_ to my _derivative_ stimulation.

Erm… lessee, I’ve used a power drill, milk bottle (plastic, not glass, it was the only thing with a wide enough neck…), teddy bear (it had a hole, but cleaning the stuffing off was… less than fun), watersnake thing (not the animal, a toy thing that was like a latex water filled ring) I’ve also tried using various things for lube, shampoo, shower gel, toothpaste (NEVER AGAIN).

From my female friend; chairs, toilet seat, boxes, top of a chest of drawers, kitchen cupboards, shampoo bottles, desks, top of the TV cabinet, bookcases, stairs, banisters, and finally this thread.

The battery end, the spinning made it vibrate and the battery was warm, I wasn’t trying foreskin piercing, no, that’s another story.

I used to frequently use bananas when I was a young teen, and the end of a hairbrush (which was too thin), etc. By the time I was de-virginalized I was pretty much not physically a virgin.

I was a masturbating junkie, btw, and I don’t mind saying I think it kept me from having sex until I was almost 19.

Could it be the next step after problems with abstinence education? I think it could cut a lot of the problems with teenage rebellion right down if they were all too busy in their rooms…

If the wacky right got hold of this thread though, I think a more likely educational impact would be banning shop class! 🙂

Dang it, **Indygrrl** , I _try_ not to think dirty thoughts while I’m surfin’ the Dope, but this statement, in conjuction with the pics you sort-of-posted in that other thread, has officially fried my brain.

…and that brings me to my answer for this thread, which is: [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=301424). Dopers are a seriously good-looking bunch o’ people.

Now if you’ll excuse me for a moment… 😉

Ahhh, I must wax nostalgic ( snort ) and remind you that the candleshoppe owner in **Debbie Does Dallas** was named “Mr. Hardwick”

A cheese grater.

No, seriously… I got hungry in the middle, took a break to make a quesadilla, and went back to business with more energy from a full stomach! What were you thinking I was doing with that cheese grater?
