Let’s see, we have… A dildo, about 9 inches. Named for some porn star I can’t think of. Handcuffs. Nipple clamps (on a chain). Collar. Paddle, kind of frat style with 5 holes drilled into it. Whip, about 6 foot long. Cock ring. (for me) Chastity cage. (for him) The CB3000. It’s acrylic and comes with metal locks as well as plastic. Bunches of rope of varying lengths. Several belts. Gotta love belts, practical and kinky! It seems like I’m missing a few things, but that’s the main arsenal for now. ---

[QUOTE=Illuminatiprimus] I’ve seen a video with a guy experiencing a fuck machine and he seemed to be enjoying himself immensely 🙂 [/QUOTE] The makers of the Sybian also make the Venus2000 for men. It’s not as popular as the Sybian, but appears to be every bit as effective. They also offer discounts to disabled vets. The Chicago Reader had an article on the company that made both and offered to loan the machine to the male writer. But in a astounding display of journalistic gutlessness, he never tried it because they required accurate measurements of his penis. Their products are very well reviewed, and many of their customers are available for contact if you have questions. I just wish they’re relocate to Racine, WI for the limericks value. ---

[QUOTE=gaffa] ABCO, the makers of the Sybian, still offers a money-back guarantee, accepting returns of the unit for up to 45 days, minus a $125 reconditioning fee. The actual “inserts” are of course not returnable. The health hazards of sharing sex toys are far less than contact with another human being. Quality sex toys can be cleaned with dilute bleach or by boiling - which is more than you can say about human beings. [/QUOTE] ABCO Research is an interesting company. They suggest using the Sybian during menstruation as a therapudic device. They’re trying to collect data to see if the exercise provided to the uterus through orgasm can tone the muscles and reduce the pain of future cramping. They also recommend using the Sybain for therapudic use if you suffer stress headaches because orgasms are known stress relievers due to the oxytocin release. ABCO Research isn’t a “sex toy” company as much as they are a small business which is trying to change the way we view sexuality, and it’s overall effect on our lives and health, in the US. Think of them as the Dr. Bronner of multiple orgasms. Good stuff, but the literature which comes along with the product is a little over the top. The inserts are made of a material the manufacturers call Dynaflex. > [@](#): > > There is no latex in Sybian parts. All inserts are made of a material known as Dynaflex which is a TPE Compound and Kraton. No allergic reactions have ever been reported. They’re most like a polyurethane sex toy and have a lot fo weight to them compared to many other sex toy products. They clean well with soap and water and don’t exhibit any of the degradation problems some of the jelly products or “real flesh” ones do. I’d guess they would be more hygenic to share than most toys, and I have heard of people sharing them. I don’t think I would be comfortable on either side of that transaction though. Enjoy, Steven ---

[QUOTE=gaffa] 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. [/QUOTE] Personally, I find that the Homedics percussion massager does a dandy job as a sexual aid. The heads don’t strike (percuss?) nearly as hard as my achy back and shoulders need (absolutely worthless as a muscle massager), but they are just right for tickling the naughty bits. If you don’t mind thinking about where it might have been, check out thrift shops for vibrating massagers discarded by people “trading up.” Give the working end a good scrub or slap a condom on it. ---

[QUOTE=Illuminatiprimus] The guy enjoying the fuck machine I was talking about was being rammed by a dildo, I’m guessing that’s that Sybian. Again, he was enjoying it a lot. [/QUOTE] The Sybian is so solidly built that it has to sit on the floor and the user sits astride it like a saddle. It doesn’t “ram” or thrust at all. Instead, it combines vibration and a sort of “waggling” motion to stimulate a woman’s g-spot or a man’s prostate. There is a whole sub-genre of “Sybian” porn for folks who enjoy seeing other folks have intense orgasms. Howard Stern has a Sybian that he invites his porn star guests to ride, but the video I’ve seen of that is very disappointing. These poor women are so used to faking orgasms that they’re apparently afraid of having a genuine one for fear of their fans finding out. I can’t imagine what the effect of prostate stimulation by Sybian combined with a Venus 2000 on the penis would be. Probably cause your head to explode. > [@mtgman](#): > > ABCO Research is an interesting company. They suggest using the Sybian during menstruation as a therapudic device.

They also recommend using the Sybain for therapudic use if you suffer stress headaches because orgasms are known stress relievers due to the oxytocin release. That would be a return to the original market for vibrating massagers, which were sold to doctors to treat "hysteria"and “neurasthenia” in female patients by inducing “hysterical paroxysm” (known to us as masturbation to orgasm). > [@](#): > > ABCO Research isn’t a “sex toy” company as much as they are a small business which is trying to change the way we view sexuality, and it’s overall effect on our lives and health, in the US.

Yes, I know this is late, but those of you who subscribe can still see my list. Let’s see: First: there is only one thing better than ONE HMW (Hitachi Magic Wand) and that is two! We have those. And then we have: Wartenburg Wheel Jackrabbit two smaller vibrators a double sided feel do a pump, complete with vibrating add on humbler sounds candles cuffs (velcro) handcuffs numerous shoe laces for binding crop soft rubber flogger diamond tipped flogger four spatulas (never underestimate the joy of a skillfully wielded spatula) pantyhose (good for binding as well) rope vibrating anal probe Polar Ice cock ring parachute chains gag walkman to drown sound out lube clothespins nipple clamps ginger massage oil flavored lube his collar knives/edges needles potatoes (proof that anything can be a sex toy) gloves a thick scarf for a blindfold But the greatest of these is the mind. 😃 ---

The day is mine! This is perhaps the one and only thread where I can honestly and non-jokingly say… wait for it… wait for it… waaaaaiiiiiiit for it. ladle Again, cross my heart and hope my dick falls off, I don’t currently use or own any sex toys. Not even kitchen utensils. I mean, not that there’s anything wrong with that. Anyhoo, when I get out of Orlando and move to Japan and meet my girlfriend there, then I’m sure I’ll get to try some out. ---

[QUOTE=Silver Tyger Girl] I’m going to pretend to be more innocent than I am, and refuse to answer, but I knew a guy named Benoit (pronouned Benwa O.o ). This was the same time I was packing stuff for a couple of adult webstores, including, yes, ben wa balls. [/QUOTE] I work with a guy with the same last name (also pronounced the same.) I assume it’s a fairly common French last name. Oh, and to answer the OP…uhhh, none. Now, let me add to this that I enjoy using a ladies own sex toys on her, or watching her use them on herself, but it’s certainly not appropriate (or sanitary…) for a guy to have a “collection” to use on the various women he may or may not be with. Add to that the fact that only three of the girls I’ve dated actually owned any sex toys. (well, that I know of…a couple of the relationships that only lasted a couple weeks I don’t know about.) Of the three, the first girl was actually _embarrassed_ by her vibrator. I found it by accident in her nightstand (I was gone for a couple weeks for winter break in college, so she dug it out of the box she had packed it away into because she “missed me,” as it were.) When I found it I attempted to use it on her, but she would have no part of it.
