Thanks for the reassurance guys, it's great to know that I'm not weird for starting early. And no, I am not substituting toys for companionship, I am in a loving relationship with a guy who wants to wait until after marriage to have sex. I respect his decision, even though I would jump at the chance if he changed his mind about waiting. But for the moment, it's me and my toy box. And Ashley, I'm really happy for you that you have reached such a level of comfort and pride in yourself, it gives me hope for what is to come! You've been an inspiration, thank you!
