A vibrator that also sucks?! Where can I get one?
Vibrators, dildos, whips and chains. Where did you get yours?
So a friend and I were talking about sex toys. No, not like that!
Well, kind of like ‘that’.
But ‘that’ is not important.
Ok, well maybe it is to you, but this is going somewhere else.
Kind of…
Soooo, this online store asked me if I would consider writing articles for them. It’s one of those online stores. You know, the kind that sells stuff your grandmother shouldn’t know about.
The kind of place some of you might shop at.
Probably.
Often.
Especially considering how much you all like my stories about pigeon porn and Carson City brothels. 
Yes, it’s THAT kind of store. They sell adult toys and things, and they are considering adding a blog.
Hey, don’t push! I’m thinking about it.
So, back to the conversation I was having with my friend…
My friend: “Who do you think buys more sex toys, men or women?” She quickly followed up with an answer to her question saying, with conviction, “Women.”
Me, quickly agreeing: “Yeah, I think you’re right.”
But then I thought about it for a minute.
Me: “You know, all of the toys I have were purchased by boyfriends. I don’t think I’ve ever bought a sex toy for myself. Lingerie, yes. But not toys.”
My friend: “I guess that’s true for me, too. The toys I have were purchased by my husband.”
This reminded me of a guest post I saw on another blog. (I tried to find the post, but can’t remember whose blog it was on – if it was yours please email me the url so I can link to it.) In this guest post the woman writer described her first adult toy purchase… she was encouraged by her husband. It was a charming story.
Score: Three women, um, recipients, and four men purchasers. Huh.
That men seem to be the majority purchasers of adult toys for women surprises me. At least that’s how it looks.
I always say it’s good to learn something new every day. Guess what folks? This appears to be it: Men buy more sex toys for women than women do.
By the way, May is National Masturbation Month! I swear this is PURE coincidence. (I found this out from Wicked Girls Think It …she knows a lot.) And you can win your very own toy at Toy With Me. Visit their contest page: We Vibe Review for details. I also learned that from Wicked. She knows an awful lot.
So tell me, I’d like to ask the same question for those of you brave enough to answer, and if you are so inclined, did you buy online or in a shop? Mine were from a mix of both.
Who bought your sex toys, and are you male or female? You can answer anonymously (or not, if you’re brave), or even use the anonymous “Formspring” email form in the sidebar (under “Write me…”) and I’ll post your answers anonymously.
Ok, folks – I said ANONYMOUS like three times in one long-ass, error-riddled sentence. It’s OK to answer – no one will know, not even me. That form really is anonymous. (Don’t send me requests for sex – they will be ignored. Probably.)
Okay…..so, this is how much I love you. First off, who needs annonymity? That’s for chickens! Second, I had to get up and go check to look at the toys and do the checklist. So, with that said, here is the rundown:
None have been purchased online, but I did recently win one online from http://www.toywithme.com (who are currently running another contest for a We-Vibe)
One was purchased for me in a super seedy little porn shop at about 2am with my guy. That was a fun trip. (by fun, I mean “Wow you see some interesting people in surprisingly crowded porn shops at 2am in Louisville”)
I have two others, both purchased by me at seperate in home sex toy parties hosted by friends. These parties are the best. They are fun, relaxed, hands on, you usually are able to see most of the merchandise, have an informed company rep present to answer questions and you are hanging with friends.
There ya’ go. So, one purchased by guy, 2 purchased by me, one won on the internet. Hope that helps.

I have never bought a sex toy for my self either in person or on-line. My husband just buys them all the time and we figure out which ones work and which ones end up as dog toys! I have however won a gift basket full of lube. Three different kinds…sample size’s and everyday ginormous sizes!

That’s right, we are the luckiest girls in the world!

Now I want to visit just to see your pup walking around with a vibrating dong hanging out it’s mouth. Great for in-laws & small children

It is totally hysterical to see her playing with it….she ruined the thing. It looked like an electric green billy club.

Wicked: Girl, you’re awesome!
You know about all the great stuff on the web! How do you find the time?!? (PS – I entered the We Vibe contest… and then realized it takes TWO to, um, enjoy. I’m a party of one these days so I’ll have to improvise!) The big store around here is very clean and well-lit. Probably closes by 9:00pm. There is another that appears to cater to gay men – everything is SUPERSIZED! Plus there was some scary stuff in there. I may have to go take pics to show you guys. I’m pretty open-minded (or so I thought) until I saw some of the items of torture in this shop.
Vapid: ‘…and which end up as dog toys’ LMAO The Dish is a good man. That’s fantastic he just buys a bunch and you guys try them out. I miss those days. *sigh* BTW – Thank you for the giant glass photo… I borrowed it for a previous post.
You don’t “have” to have two to tango with the We-Vibe – use a dildo or even on it’s own – works like a charm!

You are very welcome!

Here are some other comments I received (replies below):
From Augie: (ok, he made a what I believe is a kiss smiley, but this system is making it an angry smiley! We’re going with kiss smiley
From Anita: I bought 1 and guy bought another so Equal Opportunity! But, I like his better!
From Jeff: xoxo want to go shopping?
Augie: right back at you ;x
Anita: Ok, so one was for him to use on himself? That I haven’t experienced. One BF was actually jealous of my vibrator. It wasn’t all that different in appearance than him, either. ‘HELLOO It’s an inanimate object!’ I always found that funny.
Jeff: Well, if it isn’t always the quiet ones that surprise you.
Well, he bought one for me, and I have bought one for me is what I meant. But, since you did ask, he does have toys of his own for himself, and they are wicked cool! You know the whole pain/pleasure thing…
Anita: There are some great toys for men! My personal favorite is a vibrating cock ring. That’s some good stuff, I tell ya.
My wife and I went together. So technically we both bought them. I thought it would be weird, but it felt like we could have been shopping for curtains, except for the happier ending.
One: ‘… like shopping for curtains, except for the happier ending’ I love it! We did go together once. He was a bit nervous, too. Gotta love the happy ending.
Loved the Pigeon Porn! Thanks for the mention in your post

Toy: You’re most welcome! Glad you enjoyed Pigeon Porn. That reminds me… I need to get more bird seed! Still thinking about adding flowers. Could get a little kinky. On second thought, I’m getting flowers, too.
I enjoy your blog, too. Hoping to get the opportunity to try the We Vibe, avec deux ou seul.
bought online and in a shop. either bought by me, him, or both of us together (the funnest way). so i realize i am absolutely no help to your market research. but i might be able to tip the scales by saying that i also won a basket of lube from toywithme, so i think we can conclude they are the biggest (most generous/awesome) distributor of sex toys.
.-= pattypunker´s last blog ..i’d show you my asshole but it’s not pink enough =-.
Patty: Actually, your accounts with sex toy purchases absolutely help. The more info the better. Yes, it is fun to buy them with a significant other!
It seems half the lady bloggers have won something from toywithme so I guess it’s only a matter of time before I do
Appreciation for this information is over 9000! thank you!

There is nothing wrong with buying a sex toy online If you are missing a partner on your bed, to have quality time with, you should definately get it.
