I too, have heard and known a lot of men that have just used your basic baby oil with regular masturbation. However, I believe that men don't have to be AS careful as women do, when it comes to lubing themselves. But they do need to be a bit carefu, since it isn't impossible for men to get yeast or bladder infections, though not as much so as it is with women. Also, stuff that is made for external use can cause STINGING if it gets inside your soldier's little hole. Women's lubrication goes INSIDE their bodies of course, so women have to be a bit more careful as to what goes up in them. Lotions, Vaseline (or generic petroleum jelly), baby oil, and any other sort of External lubrications can very easily harbor bacteria inside a woman's body. That, coupled with her own secretions, can add up to bladder and/or yeast infections. So, be careful of what goes where!!

I hope everyone had a great holiday, you got gifts you wanted, people liked the gifts given, everyone stuff their faces, had fun, and enjoyed themselves. Have a great & safe New Year too!!

Do I know this person, that you wouldn't be too embarrassed with sex toys exchages, Val?

Do you prefer a toy that only doesn't look like a real penis, or one that does look like a real one?

It's good to know that those vids are helpful. It's always good to learn new things!

Now, obviously here, you don't see the packaging, just the product, which helps keep the focus on the item. But if you're in an adult store, does the packaging help aide in your selecting a toy?

What do YOU like to see in a review? Are there things in them that you don't like? Does anyone have any suggestions to our Review Team to make our reviews that much more helpful and fun to read? Please do tell!!

Another purple dual vibrator came to my door to join my collection of bullets and remote toys. I couldn’t wait to try it out! I loved the color, of course. The hard plastic of the 2 vibrators and the remote have a satin feel to them, so it doesn’t feel “hard”. The remote takes 4 AAA batteries (not incl.), and has a shape to it that is easy to hold, grip strips, and easy button pushing. But this remote varies a bit from my other ones since it has 10 settings on each side, and indicator lights showing what level you’re on! Both sides can be on individually, or at the same time, giving you 100 possible combinations of vibrations! The settings are listed on the back of the remote: 1-foreplay 2-Tease 3-Arouse 4-Zoom 5-Wave 6-Pulsation 7-Vibration 8-Random 9-Racer 10-Climax The bullets are waterproof, which is always a plus. The first one is small, slender bullet, great for clit stimulation, and even good for anal beginners. The Second attachment wasn’t a bullet, but a G-spot vibrator. It’s not very big or long, but it packs quite the orgasm! The bullet in that one is at the tip, for maximum power for you to enjoy. I put the batteries in, stripped down, and tried all of the vibes out on, arousing myself more & more. This item definitely has the strong vibes for me, yet the settings break them up so they’re not so intense. However, it’s not a very quiet toy, even on it’s lowest setting, so be aware that others can probably hear you, if you have thin walls or nosey roommates. Lubing them both up just a bit, I started using the small one on my clit first. I loved playing with all of the settings. The G-spot did it’s job for me, plunging it in & out, playing with the vibe settings on that, and when it caressed me just so…oh momma! Double the pleasure and double the spasms! I recommend this for both beginners and the toy aficionado alike. Many options, easy use, clean up, and care, unintimidating sizes, and great orgasms make this a great addition or even a great beginner toy to any collection. Go High Tech

First of all, welcome to the board. You will find many *newbies* here very timid about buying a first toy (hence the name of the company). If you're looking for other possibilities other than your shower head, fingers, and possible household gadgets, then you may seriously want to consider an adult toy. There is nothing wrong with getting something to help give you pleasure in a different way. Some first time toy buyers go with a bullet aka egg, or even just a clit stimulator. These items are easy to locate here on the site, just go up to the "Enter Product Search" box, and type in those words, and you're bound to find something. They're also not overly intimidating, being small in size and not at all looking like any sort of penis. Some people get nervous seeing a phallic item, at first. Try to keep an open mind when searching. And, remember, these things are for your sexual enhancement, not at all as a replacement for your husband. Have a Great Holiday Season!!

I doubt our relationship could handle it on either side, but it'd be interesting to see how my DH is with another woman....

*raises hand* Can I join up?

CGEM, That made me almost melt just reading your reply!

Hi Natalie, welcome to the board!!! Great question! I would seriously recommend that you NOT use hand/body lotion for any sort of sexual play (including anal). Those types of lotions state on the bottles "For External Use Only" for a reason. Lotion, even the antibacterial kind, inside a body can still harbor and promote bacteria growth, and cause infections. Plus, I'm sure they'd sting if you tore even a tad! Plus, with any anal play, use lots and lots of lube, and if you used lotion, the chances of it running down into your vaginal area are high, and that would also be a bad thing. Go down to the local store or pharmacy, and get some lube. The small cost of lubes that are MEANT to go in a body, are a lot better than the costs of having to go to the doctor later.

Anyway, I wanted to, again, say Happy Holidays to everyone here. We have tons of stuff to do, of course, and a friend is also moving (great timing, I Know!), and we're helping her out. I will try and get on here late at night, when I can. I hope everyone has a great holiday season and lots and lots of Playing!!! *MUAH*

It was fairly quiet. I also should mention that the jelly material seems to get a bit tackier after washing.

Sounds like a lot of fun! Great reminder about anal/vaginal cleanliness as well. Sounds like you were sitting pretty in your pink, X3!

OMG!! Those were all soooo funny!! Thanks for sharing that one.

I chose for my next contender out of my newest toy arrivals, this beautiful, bulbous, blue, corded remote bullet made by Doc Johnson, always a quality adult toy maker, IMO. I did notice a sweet “new toy” smell to it, so I washed it with my antibacterial soap, and it did tone down the smell a bit, but not by much. The “trippy”-styled box said that this toy is waterproof as well, great for shower/tub play. The jelly of the bullet was fairly firm, but pliable, and smooth. The remote showed it had 4 settings, and 2 AA batteries (not incl.) later, I was able to see how strong the vibes were and test how quiet it was too. The bullet that makes the vibes is right at the tip, so the vibes were all fairly strong, which, for me, as y'all know, the stronger the vibe, the more I’ll probably like the toy. And it was fairly quiet too. I did notice that you have to go up and down all of the levels on the remote to turn it off though. Kind of a pain, but not overly so. The remote was very comfortable to hold. It was a softer feeling plastic, so all in all, a pretty nice remote. The bullet also a bit tacky feeling, so I used my trusty lube to make things a bit smoother going. I teased my clit for a bit, enjoying each level of vibe. Of course, level 4 (the strongest) was my fav. I turned it off, then on to level 1 for the insertion. The first 2 humps went in no problem. And boy did they feel niiiice!! The final hump, the largest, was a bit of a stretch, but not uncomfortably so. I definitely felt full with this vibe, to be sure! I decided to walk around the house, and watch some TV, allowing my vaginal walls have the humps of my Dream rub them, and that was an awesome sensation! Also great for the PC muscles! I just puttered around the house, enjoying my alone time, and the sensations the Dream was giving me.I was walking to the bedroom when the orgasm rocked me. I had to grab the wall so I wouldn’t fall! It felt soooo nice! I would recommend this toy for the experienced toy user, since it is a good deal larger than it’s smaller bullet counterparts. But I will definitely having more Lucid Dreams, #69 style in the future! Get Lucid

I've been getting a lot more jelly toys than anything, and have been enjoying them quite a bit. I just recently did a review on my first glass dildo (and first plain dildo ever), and truly enjoyed THAT!! I don't really have a *preference* per-say. For me it's what the toy does to/for me orgasmically wise.

That g-spot vibe IS plastic, and won't feel "real" anyway, since it's specially designed to rub the g-spot. Some suggestions for you to get more enjoyment out of it, is maybe some alone playtime, get yourself nice and worked up, lubed, and RELAXED. If you're tense while trying to insert any toy, it won't feel quite right, and won't aide in your pleasuring. I also would suggest maybe getting something made out of cyberskin, jelly, or silicone, for a softer feel. But read the descriptions of the item you're looking at, since most of the time, it will tell you how firm or soft an item is. I hope that helps. Happy playing!!!

All I can say is WOW!

This looks like a very fun set!!

We did it with me on top, and also him on top, and both were very pleasurable. I should've mentioned that.

I pulled this pink dual action vibrator out and was very curious to see how well it worked. I first noticed that the batteries were included~very cool! There is a jelly head, which has the smiling head of a penis, rotating beaded shaft, and then the bunny clit stimulator. The vibrator has a panel on the front saying 100% waterproof, even better. The Remote has a key chain and 4 easy-touch buttons for rotation on/off, vibes on/off, and then the mode button (2 modes each function), plus an indicator light. One touch, easy to use buttons. I like that. I put the battery in the remote, which was easy. Removing the easy loading battery pack wasn’t as easy as I thought. At first I thought I had to unscrew it, but upon further investigation of the box, I figured out that it firmly slides out of the base. The vibrator is sturdy feeling especially with batteries installed. Well, time to try it out. I use the remote (which is the only way to use any modes, so don’t loose it!), and turn it on. This is not a quiet vibrator. But I was amazed at how the tip noticeably rotated, the beads spun in opposite directions, which could be felt on my hand, and the bunny’s vibes were very strong! There was that “new toy” smell, which almost went away after 2 washings with the antibacterial soap and warm water. I was eager to try my little soldier with his pet out, so I lube the toy up, and turn the vibes first, and slowly ease it into my waiting lips. The bunny started teasing my clit with his ears, and I was ready for more, so I turned on the rotation as well. Beads spinning, bunny vibing, and head rotating, well, it didn’t take me long at all to cum and cum and cum. This is a toy may be a bit intimidating for beginners. It’s weight and size are impressive. The shaft’s total length is 8” long, 1.5” in diameter. I would recommend it for the experienced or even a daring toy beginner! This bunny is definitely going to be in my future for many nights to cum. http://shop.tootimid.com/index.asp?PageAct...amp;ProdID=5225

If there is any type of problem with an item purchased from here, there is a one year guarantee on it, so I would encourage you to exchange it for another one, since the seam seemed to give you some discomfort. There shouldn't be a ridge or seam on an adult toy that could make you sore. I have a toy similar to this one, and it's one of my faves, tried & true!
