Big Ed's PlaceSex toys and the single guy
In a comment to my last post, Fallen Depths said that I owed you a toy after my vacation. Okay… what about a sex toy? Or at least a discussion of them?
I admit, my direct experience with sex toys for men is pretty limited. I long ago established that my own hand was better than anything I could buy. But that said, when I was single, I owned six vibrators. While I don’t live in Texas and therefore wouldn’t have had to deal with the legal problems of owning that many, in many ways it could be considered strange.
Now two of these were more gags than really usable. One was a vibrating rubber duck, that I kept on the edge of my bathtub. It made me smirk to see it, particularly on those few occasions when a lover was soaking in the tub. To the best of my knowledge, none of the women actually used it, but they did laugh when I pushed its back and it began to hum.
The other was a vibrating hairbrush. I bought it at one of those ‘home toy parties’ where the hostess shows off various sex toys for purchase and then goes into a side room to transact the deals. The sales lady at this one was a woman I’d met once at a tantra workshop and was being hosted by the local polyamory support group. A bdsm playmate of mine invited me and I bought the brush simply so I could spank her with it in front of the rest of the crowd. Of course, I was then stuck with an extra vibrator. Still, it made for an amusing, though somewhat surreal scene.
The other four were, well… ‘in stock’ for when I did have female company. One was a powerful waterproof vibe. One was a standard smooth dildo shaped one. One was a Hitachi Magic Wand, and the last was an Accuvibe, which is like a Magic Wand, but rechargeable, allowing one to dispense with the cord. All of them found use in partner play at one point or another.
What was partially surprising to me was that they were new toys to a several of the women. A few had never tried or owned a vibrator. Others had never used more than their standard favorite, which was usually a random purchase rather than one bought after research and possibly personal testing. Several of my own toys ‘wandered away’ when relationships ended, forcing me to purchase replacements.
And yes, there are a lot of good stories in there. And no, I’m not going to put them into a musings post. Instead, I’m going to crib from them for my future fiction. ‘Write what you know’ after all.
As a result of those experiences, I actually became a mini-expert in certain circles. One two occasions, I ended up giving advice to women I was not intimate with about what to look for in a vibrator and what to consider. Of course, they didn’t tell me how it worked out for them, and I didn’t want to get pushy, so I have no idea if my advice was actually good, but it was still amusing to give.
But more importantly, I think it helped with my sex life as a single guy. If a guy is open-minded enough to own toys for his partner’s benefit–what’s not to like? None of the women who entered my bedroom complained or found excuses to leave because I was a pervert. Instead, it became one more fun time to share.
Oh my, I owe you an apology. I actually did take your advice and made the purchase we discussed. I still have it, still use it, and it still works great. It’s the only toy I really have at the moment.
Thank you so much for the advice!

Grin. Glad to hear.
Hi there didn’t ask but there is a bit missing, you actually had mentioned sex toys for the male, but then forgot to mention any. did you mean the Japanese cooks box (or so)?
The sex toys for men that I’ve seen have been pumps and other sleeves that are supposed to mimic vaginas or mouths. I have been unimpressed, and reviews by other men I know are similarly unimpressed. I don’t know the Japanese cooks box.
