On toys
The introduction of novelty toys into my sex life has come belatedly and with trepidation, but I finally feel ready to tiptoe into this next level of erotic play. It may sound surprising, but I’ve never owned a dildo before, and my only prior experimentation with a sex toy was a vibrating bullet clitoral stimulator gifted by my ex-husband. Although vaginal penetration feels lovely and amazing, I am a typical woman in that my orgasm may prove elusive without some attention to the clitoris. I love to self-pleasure, but I have always relied on the low-tech five-finger approach. Technology has infiltrated all corners of life, including the bedroom, and I guess I’m arriving late to the party.
In the vivid imagination of most men, a woman like me with many lovers should come equipped with a trunk filled deep with toys and trinkets and gadgets, and a closet bursting with the sexiest, naughtiest silk and lace lingerie. My outfit collection lives up to the myth, as getting to play dress-up while basking in my femininity under the searing male gaze is my ultimate fantasy. Now, it’s time to play catch-up and build a toy collection worthy of my admirers’ lustful expectations. The question: Do you have any toys? – comes up frequently enough that I figure the onus is on me to research and resolve to provide a more exciting response, such as “YES! Get ready for show-n-tell during our playtime!”
During my recent trip to Greece (the actual country, not the euphemism), it was wild seeing all the penis souvenirs on proud display. Artistic expression is boundless, and the magnificence of hand-painted cock keychains and bottle-openers left me a bit breathless. I arrived home from my vacation feeling… inspired. Hence, my motivation to curate my own collection of spicy toys.
Volunteers are needed to help me road-test the product line-up (vibrating cock ring, anyone?), because it's oodles more fun to engage in mischief and games when you have a partner in crime. I look forward to hearing your feedback and recommendations as I work diligently to expand my horizons, experience new sensations, and reach heightened levels of exhilaration.
