Doran Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 I've been hoping the urge to post this poll would pass (oooh, nice alliteration!). I was dared to "go for it" by a fellow member last night, when I shared my secret with her. I chickened out. Tonight, boldness strikes! I am going where no [wo]man has gone before. Or actually, where many may have gone, but few admit. :lol: Remember, people -- THIS IS AN ANONYMOUS POLL. All we have to do is bump it up (oh, goodness, so much inuendo) so that it doesn't just die a slow, painful death. If you are willing to elaborate, by all means do so. I'm looking for opinions on (whispers) bedroom toys (bedroom, playroom...wherever you are when the mood strikes). You know...the sort of adult toys that start with a "v"...or a "d"...depending, and generally require batteries. I don't have one. I'm slightly inclined to try one (ack...what happens when I meet you IRL?? :blink:). I figure if nothing else, this might help lighten the mood around here (here meaning HERE, the boards, but also here, my home). I'm polling the largest source of folks I know because I am truly unsure whether it's worth it to pursue owning this "resource" or not. What do you think? Does it work for you? Does it not? Or do you never care to know? Thank you for being willing to...er...humor me. I mean, we're all adults right? Hiding now and hoping the system can handle the sudden influx of "IGNORE" buttons being pushed. :leaving: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amy loves Bud Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Doran, we're about to redo our kitchen and we've been talking about all the cool things we could do to upgrade. For example, we once lived in a house with instant hot water. We were so excited about that feature when we moved in, and we made several cups of hot tea with it right off the bat, but it soon lost its allure. So we won't be investing in another instant hot water tap. It's a lot like that. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mom to Aly Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Oh God, I can't believe I'm answering this! But I guess I've revealed much more personal stuff here! (If I ever reveal my weight, I can never come back!!) Yes, I own one--a friend talked me into it after dh left, and it was too expensive for my poor self to throw out. Keep in mind, he left 5 years ago, was cheating two years before, and our sex life was dead for the last year he was here, and not great for a while before that. Even then, tried it a handful of times, and just wasn't close to the real thing--don't like it, don't use it. Of course, I did start on Celexa right after he left, and that can cut down on your sex drive, so maybe that had something to do with it. ;) But I'm on 1/4 of the smallest pill you can take, so I think I'm just used to it (I don't date, at all--no interest while my dd is this young). So, I found it a waste of a lot of money. But that is me. If I had the real thing here, I never would have bothered. But then, I have friends who are married who say they cannot do without it, especially for, um, oral, stuff (don't know what I can say here). Does that help? Now everyone, forget what I said! Please?

Prairie~Phlox Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Well I hate to say it, but I do enjoy being intimate with dh and he tries hard, but I just can't *O* unless I use a vibrator. It's just the way my body is made. Heck, I didn't even have an *O* until I was probably 27. Trust me, if you aren't *O*, you need to be. You don't have to use a vibrator like you use your dh's "dong" For me, it's more stimulation on the outside, not the inside that counts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrairieAir Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Okay, I answered not interested. The idea just really does not appeal to me and never has, not that I think there's anything wrong with it. Personally I do not like anything that vibrates--you know, like the actual back massagers. It's a horrible, horrible feeling to me. It rattles my bones anywhere else and I can't imagine how it would feel there. Ew, I just shudder to think about that. I guess it's just another one of my hang ups. I do realize there are some that do different things or do not vibrate, but it is still very unappealing to me. I'd rather be creative and add the spice in other ways. There are plenty of other ways. This one just seems artificial to me. Ain't nothin' like the real thing, baby. There ya go, just my personal preference. As I said, nothing wrong with it. Whatever... Well, never mind:blush: BTW, did anyone else look at this thread right after Mrs. Readsalot's thread about needing a hobby?

tibbyl Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 They are a nice diversion for occasional use and not as expensive as hot water on tap.

He's *happy* because it was so dang hard for him before to get me to...well, ya know. I'm not even embarassed to share all that, really.
