[QUOTE=Argent Towers] I mean, a pen…oh, goddamnit. That pen looks so much like a vibrator, I can’t believe Cross made it with a straight face. [/QUOTE] Damn Skippee. They shoulda made it with a gay face, right? ---

[QUOTE=dangermom] Hm…a pocket vibrator that has been in your pocket, thrown on the counter (or the floor!), and generally been around the world—sounds lovely! [/QUOTE] Gee, most of the men I know don’t keep their penises in hermetically-sealed plastic . . . > [@Least Original User Name Ever](#): > > I doubt it..unless you pulled the ignition cord in the middle of communion so you can actually GET those cookies. Wait, ignition cord? On a vibrator? You mean like a lawnmower has? How much power do you ladies need anyway? ---

I live in Brooklyn but find the whole idea pretty skeevy (maybe because I don’t live in Williamsburg). If a guy doesn’t feel he can give me a good time without battery-powered assistance, I don’t want to be with him anyway. What’s WAY hotter, and more considerate, is someone who has condoms on hand (not in his wallet, natch) and puts one on at the proper time without having to be asked. _Yeah_, baby. If I found out that a guy carried a vibrator on his person, I’d assume it was for his own pleasure, perhaps a little bonus to that midaftertoon wank in the men’s room. For some reason I find that a little less creepy, but still way TMI. ---

[QUOTE=SusanStoHelit] I saw a vibrator shaped like a tube of lipstick once. [/QUOTE] I’ve got that. It’s not for carrying around (well, I suppose you could), but I just thought it was cute. Plus, out of all the things I have, this one scares the guys the least. I suppose because it is the least phallic (and I, apparently, date insecure lil boys . . who knew? ;)) [QUOTE=Least Original User Name Ever] (bolding mine) Darling, what do you think a penis is? Well..unless you’re gay…or love to fuck zombies..or bang chiuhauhas or whatnot. Not that I’m likening zombie sodomizers with gay people. Crap, I’m talking myself into a corner here. [/QUOTE] Well, I tend to cover those things with a nice, safe, and sanitary covering of latex before I play with it. I suppose if I put a condom on the toy, it would be the same-- but who the hell does that? Just buy a new one, ferchrissakes. Even my most expensive one wasn’t _that_ expensive ($70 on sale). ---

Who does that? A gal that’s staring right down the barrel shaft of the damned niftiest toy EVER would, I’d betcha. Either that or she’s thinking “I’m so getting me one of those, I’m so getting me one of those, I’m so getting me one of those, (repeat 10000x)” **Darth Vader’s Little Pal** , the right time? You mean when doing nude jumping jacks and you’re so overtaken by lust that you must have him right then and there? Isn’t it kinda…understood…when the “proper time” is? I mean, you don’t kick the table over on a first date and drop your pants and roll one on. You don’t bend th ebereaved over a funeral casket because their dear Nana died, either. ---

I knew it was only a matter of time before I’d post a link to . . . cue Samantha Fox in granny glasses singing “Naughty Geeks (Need Love Too)” . . . [The Vibrating PDA Stylus](http://www.the-gadgeteer.com/review/massage_stylus_review). Unfortunately, Stylus Central doesn’t seem to have it on their website anymore. I guess you could always pick up a used one on eBay. 😉 ---

It’s been rumored that Terrell Owens carries a pen dildo with him at all times, so that he can autograph the ball whenever he scores a touchdown and then throw the ball to a fan…if you know what I’m sayin’. > [@SusanStoHelit](#): > > I just know that it would go off in church.

Of all the things to combine with a vibrator, do not choose a razor! I really cannot stress this enough, ladies. > > Yeesh. The whole thing vibrates, you know. You use the handle. Sheesh. > [@DiosaBellissima](#): > > I suppose if I put a condom on the toy, it would be the same-- but who the hell does that? LGBT centers, disease centers, etc. recommend to all lesbian/bisexual couples that they put new condoms on their toys when switching sheaths, so to speak. > [@bouv](#): > > I have never understood men who are “scared” or insecure about the woman in their life using a sex toy. Personally, I find it a huge turn on and tried to persuade my previous girlfriends to get and use sex toys, and the most recent one was the only one to agree. Me too. So many women talk about how they have to hide their sex toys and such, but I haven’t dated any of them! I’ve never persuaded anyone I’ve been with. I guess I could take that as a compliment, but still… ---

She didn’t think I’d be insecure about it…she waqs! She was embarassed/ashamed that she owned and used one. I found it by accident, and she tried to not talk about it and never let me use ot or even mention it again. I mean…if you’re at the point with a person where you’re having regular sex with them, how is it embarassing to admit you masturbate with the aid of an inanimate object? ---

[QUOTE=Malacandra] Heh. You’d have no issues if your beau’s previous date was a Fleshlight, then? (Nope, no link forthcoming. Google will help you out soon enough.) Or a blow-up doll? [/QUOTE] Hmmm…now that raises an interesting quandry (is quandry the word I want here?) Ladies: If you are of the type that either enjoys using toys, or at the very least is not aginst the idea of using them, would a potential mate gain, lose, or neither gain nor lose any points if oyu found out he used a toy himself? Would it matter what type? Is a fleshlight (fake vagina/mouth/anus designed to look like a flashlight when not in use) ok, yet a blow-up doll is out? What if he likes anal pleasure and uses a butt plug/vibrator/dildo in his anus, is that more/less/neither points? (And while this poll doesn’t have to be only for straight ladies and straight men parters, I did gear it that way because it seems to me, as an outsider looking in, that in the gay and bi communities it’s generally accepted for a man to use toys and not be considered a pervert like it might be for a straight man. But I could be wrong, so anyone can feel free to reply.) ---
