On Toys

In the process of soliciting ideas for posts, I received a number of fabulous suggestions. Where to start? :-) Tabitha mentioned talking about my favorite (and least favorite) toys. Sounds like a good a place as any to start!

When it comes down to it, my basic thought is: I'd rather have the "real deal" than something fake. Toys tend to be cold (brr!) and, in the case of battery-operated devices, too hard for comfort. Yes, there really is such a thing :-P It is also why I prefer a nice "soft" rubber/gel dildo to a vibrator. Besides, if I wanted vibrations I could just put my phone on silent mode and stick it down there ;-P

However. This doesn't mean that you can't have fun with them. There's a sufficient variety of toys out there that there's always something for someone, right?

Here's a few I've used over the years:

One toy I ended up enjoying more for hygienic purposes was a hollow pink dildo full of holes, attached to some tubing that was meant to be screwed onto a shower. Turn the water on, and you have a very pretty sprinkler-like effect. Shove it where the sun don't shine, and you've got an instant enema. First time I ever used it, the side effect of always having to rush to the toilet afterward was more amusing than anything. Never got any erotic pleasure out of it, but man, did it clean you out! And when you're doing other things up there, it's prudent to keep clean, and that little thing did the trick ;-)

I also had double-headed dildo, gel-like in appearance. A friend once relayed a story about how she and her husband used one simultaneously-- each taking one end while they faced each other. They had a lot of fun with it. Me, I once tried folding my double-edged sword in half and using both heads simultaneously on myself. It was the closest I'd ever gotten to trying DP. Wasn't too successful, probably because I ended up laughing too much at how funny it looked and how lame my attempts were (hey! that thing was stiff and not very easy or wieldy to bend!), but hell-- that's the best part, isn't it? Being able to laugh and be silly and have FUN :-D

Finally, my favorite toy of all: the famous (infamous?) Vac-U-Lock strapon. At the time, it was just about the only strapon you could get. It was rather expensive, and limited in the variety of attachments you could put on it. But hey, this was 10 years ago, I'm sure things have changed in the world of strapons today. More variety, cheaper prices. Time to go shopping, methinks! And no matter what, it's very handy for, uh, turning the tables. Resulting in a surprisingly unique experience, too! Though I think I'll save that for another post, so be sure to stay tuned!

Then there's the ultimate, most expensive toy. It is warm, just the right size, and cannot be surpassed in realism. What do you suppose it is? Why none other than my very own human dildo, aka hubby! :-D (that reminds me of something I've always wanted to try-- one of those mold-your-own-penis kits. How's that for keeping it as realistic (and therefore, easier to use) as possible?)

Hmm... I'm a vaguely disappointed to read back on this and realize that I haven't really used all that many toys. Perhaps I should remedy that. What about you, dear readers? What are your favorites?
