To answer your question Edge, the banana worked great! I used an unpeeled, very green banana (that's when it is its hardest). All you need is a little clitoral stimulation, and you've got yourself a nice big "O"

I recently got my new box of toys from tootimid (YAY!!), and one of the vibrators I bought was a little wider than I had originally expected. When I tried to experiment with it, I couldn't even get it in! I've used sex toys before, but this one may be a little too much! Any suggestions on how to start using this monster without so much pain?!?

Good news! The lock was a success this time!! I think since I actually did something about it instead of talking first, they really did see that this was important to me and not just a "phase". I've even been training them to knock on my door rather than barging in! For a few weeks I'm locking my door every time I go in my room, so they have to knock if they need something. So far it's working, they're finally starting to get the idea! Thanks again for the support you guys, it gave me the courage to really do something about my problem!

I was recently checking out reviews of a toy and read a few sites that said something about the material in jelly vibes and dildos being potentially hazardous to your health (toxic)! Please tell me it isn't so!!

Even better!! LOL

LMAO! It would be hilarious to leave him naked (or tie him up perhaps) and drive in the carpool lane with a videocamera to capture the strange looks you would get!

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!

Yes, I definitely have seen that episode of Real Sex (and all the others, several times...)! I think that the realistic male doll would be amazing, but kind of creepy to have. I know I would just pee my pants if I forgot to put it away one night and walked into my living room at 3 am to get some water and saw a naked man sitting on my couch!! I'd probably have a heart-attack!

I do most of my toy shopping online, usually in stores that show the toy itself (like TT) so I can see what it really looks like. This produces some cringing occasionally when I open up an order to find a toy I was really looking forward to packaged in a very sleazy or cheap-looking way. It does dissappoint me a little when that happens, but if the toy holds up to my expectations, I can usually forgive tackiness.

I did get a friend of mine a bullet one year as a gag for Christmas. She had been moping for 6 months about her ex-bf, and I thought a gift like that would startle her back out of her shell.....it worked!! Two weeks later, during a joking conversation about the gift, she told me that she was ready for the dating scene again! If I had another friend in the same situation, I would definitely do it again.

I know occasionally I'm staying in a hotel or at someone's house, I haven't brought any of my toys, and I really need some relief. I've used some strange objects to satisfy my needs, ranging from a banana, to the smooth metal handle of a hairbrush, to a squiggle-writer pen, to a paintbrush! What is the most random/strange thing you've ever used when you were stranded without your toys?

I'm also a big fan of using erotic stories to supplement my "BOB" experience, but I normally find it much more arousing if I can hear the sounds of a love scene in an adult movie at the same time. The mental and auditory stimulation this produces is almost enough to get me off by itself!

Wow! I gotta get me one of those! You have me thoroughly convinced, perhaps I'll get MYSELF a little valentine's day present....

I feel rather odd to be this young (barely out of high school) and already using half a dozen sex toys and watching adult videos. I don't personally know any other girls my age who have used a single sex toy, which kind of makes me feel awkward. Is it normal for girls to start exploring their sexuality in this way while they are so young? Or am I just an odd duck?

Ooh! I know what ya mean! I live in Iowa, so I too have a small, crappy post office and weird postal carriers. Grr... Sorry you have to wait till Monday! I'd go crazy too, but hang in there!

Thanks for the support you guys! I decided to try a new tactic today - I installed a bolt lock on my door while my parents were gone (I even unlocked the mysteries of a power drill!), and I plan to have a serious talk with both of them when they get home. I think this will show them that I am serious about my privacy needs and hopefully they will finally respect my wishes. *Cross your fingers for me!* Also, I really just wanted to thank you guys for understanding and giving me the support you did. This site is wonderful and I will be coming back to the forum for years to come! I love the fact that I now have a place to talk and ask questions about things that I can't really talk to anyone else about. You guys are great!

I am in college and I'm living with my parents until this fall. Whenever I feel "in the mood" and just want to lock myself in my room with some good tunes, some candles, and my toybox, I feel so paranoid. I can't even really lock myself in my room, I've tried to install locks, but my father always plays the "not while you're under my roof" card, so they may walk in on me at any time (I can't seem to get them to understand the concept of KNOCKING). The only room in the house that actually has a lock on it is the bathroom, and 'bathtime fun' can get old. I just don't know what to do!!

I'm also a virgin who uses sex toys. I don't think it's weird at all. It's silly to think that women should have to completely abstain from sexual pleasure just because they haven't found the right guy yet. I think it's perfectly healthy and reasonable.
