So I was wondering what the incidence and quantity of sex toy possession was generally on the dope. Is it just women who own them, or do boys have some too? I mean, I’m a boy but us gays tend to own more sex toys than straights, IME.
The toys are shared between my husband and I (nothing is his or mine, it’s all ours), but here’s what we’ve got, in order of acquisition:
Short black riding crop
Long black ostrich feather
Black leather flogger
Velvet arm and leg ties (handmade by my husband, I might add!)
Whartenburg Wheel (aka pinwheel)
Small anal plug
Leather restraint set (wrists, ankles, thighs, and waist)
3’ Spreader bar (handmade by yours truly)
“The hitty thing” (handmade by me as well)
I didn’t include any pervertibles like clothespins, as they aren’t really sex toys as a primary function (except in our house!)
I guess I should describe the hitty thing, to give an idea of what it is. It’s a rigid handle that holds two removable mini-blind adjusters; sort of a dual-hit cane, if you will. I had to make the rods replacable though, since they break rather easily.
I have two dildos and a vibrator. I rarely ever use the vibrator (can’t remember the last time I used it) because I don’t want to burn my clit off.
I also have a lot of different costumes from when I dated a guy who liked to roleplay. I probably have about 7 or 8 of those. Some of them were pretty expensive.
A Panasonic brand vibe. Switch on the handle, speed knob on the end and a head that’s shaped like a mushroom. And unlike those battery powered weaklings, this one plugs into the wall and uses 120 good old American volts! It won’t quit before she does.
But recently it’s been slowing down after 15 or so minutes of use. Not surprising as the poor thing is nearly 20 years old! So I went whopping for a replacement for my wife’s birthday and couldn’t find regular store that had vibrating “massagers”! All they stocked were percussion types. It’s like all the “respectable” stores like KMart, Target and Walmart are afraid that stocking “massagers” that you’ve want to bring anywhere near a clitoris will bring the wrath of the Religious Right on their heads.
Most of the sex advice columnists I respect (Susie Bright, Tristan Toramino) sing the praises of the Toshiba “Magic Wand”. But I’d really prefer to buy one at a place where we can find out if the speed range is acceptable.
Good timing. I was cleaning out my basement today and came across/encountered a bag of goodies I’d forgotten about. A jelly butt plug and some anal beads, procured with my last significant other but we never got around to using them. The packages are unopened.
Now I’m dating a woman who is even more into her own bottom than the last. Is it bad karma to entertain her with another woman’s toys? If unused? We shall see.
Sunacres I’d say it’s okay to use them, with the caveat that you don’t inform her that they were bought for someone else. Most folks, even though they may be aware that you (general you) aren’t a blushing virgin, still don’t like to think about the fact that you’ve had sex with someone other than them. If she knows they were intended for use on a previous partner, it could lead to hurt feelings and general ickiness. If I were you, I’d just tell her you bought them a long time ago and never had the opportunity to try them out. That way, she sounds like the special one who is meant to share the experience with you. Total honesty + happy lady friend = good sexy fun in your future!
Obviously, you know her better than I do, so YMMV.
We have a box of stuff in the closet, on a high shelf (the kids are too curious to allow us to more conveniently stash it under the bed, but still too small to reach the shelf, even with a chair). The collection includes a vibrator, half a dozen or so butt plugs of various sizes, shapes and materials, a couple types of cock rings, several lotions and jellies, wrist restraints, and a double-vibrating egg (actually, two vibrating eggs that connect to the speed control with their own cord). It’s all to be used by my wife (except the cock rings), but enjoyed by both of us.
I’m not linking to anything, mainly because I’m at work.
Meant to mention this earlier, but got sidetracked and hit ‘submit’ too early. Our vibrator isn’t a sex toy masquerading as a massager or anything, it’s an honest-to-God vibrating cock, shaped and sized eerily similarly to my own personal unit, except mine has no place to insert batteries.
We have a very nice glass dildo, a twisty jelly thing, a number of vibrators, a very intrusive vibrating cock ring, a collar and leash and anal beads. Adam and Eve just opened an actual brick and mortar store nearby and I went with my friend Nathan and now I covet all the Rabbit vibrators too. I mostly only use these with my husband.
FYI, many believe that jelly toys are unsafe for internal use due to phthalates (best link I could find that my work doesn’t block). I have no idea if age increases this risk or not, and the risk itself it hotly debated.
