If a piece of evidence was accidentally dropped into the garbage, I would have no problem going to the local dump and spending days covered knee-deep in the worst foul-smelling sludge imaginable to search for the evidence.

Just thinking mean thoughts - wouldn't you love to work with this guy and "accidently" drop a critical piece of evidence in the garbage? Or say you did, and let him waddle through the muck until the evidence mysteriously appears in his office a few days later?

Just me being mean.

*sigh*

You seem to have forgotten (already, since it came up yesterday, I think, with dtb) that Atticus has quite a following among the FB ladies...or is that your jealousy talking?

If not a board motto, this might make a nice rank.

So do you have to use two hands, one with the insertable toy and one with the vibrating toy? I don't think I could use two hands, especially if they were doing two different things -- I'm not that coordinated. Or do you just have two different methods, and alternate?

I think I need an instruction video. I'm a masturbation retard.

Typically one or the other. Or one and then the other. Or one, with no need for the other because an actual penis is also involved. But now we are departing the land of masterbation advice...

I don't recall specifically naming anyone.
Besides, at least I didn't call him short. That gets his ire up.

RT, PP, FB -- I know you three in particular are connoisseurs of the finer toys in life (and I mean that in a good way) so I will place a lot of stock in your collective advice.

First of all, I'm sorry to hear about your waterdancer. It's sad when reliable appliances no longer function as well as they used to.

Second, do you have a preference as to shape, length, girth or texture? I have a silicone vibe that's supposed to find my g-spot that does nothing for me, though some women swear by them. The rabbit (also silicone) is my friend, but only comes out on special occassions, though I konw at least two people who use nothing else. (One friend managed to wear hers out in a year.) I find it somewhat confusing to manipulate three sets of controls on it (speed of shaft, speed of tickler, and type of vibration). My favorite two vibes are aren't too complicated to operate. Rehostat on base to control speed, and pretty simple to operate and use. They were in the 18 to 30 dollar range at Good Vibes. One is plastic and the other is chrome, and it just depends on what sort of mood I'm in, though one of them may be a little too big, and I have to really be in the mood to use that one. I haven't bought a magic wand, though I've had my eye on it for awhile. The benefit there is that you get more power out of the wall socket, though you're sort of limited to the area close to the outlet. Plus the attatchements.

Finally, do you have somewhere where you can go and try out different vibes? See what's out there? There are a few sex shops around here that have demos so you can feel what the different pulses are like and see for real what the dimnesions are.

Unfortunately the truth of the matter is that this asshole was lying about being willing to wade through garbage. You know it, I know it and every single partner who reads that novel-passing-for-a-cover-letter knows it. What with his background at the most prestigious schools in the country (Tulane?). He is exactly the type that would be berating his secretary for shit within the first week of practice.

AGGGHHH. All of this performance anxiety has caused my brain to freeze. This one is so easy.

I have an electric one that I NEVER use (unless I am out of batteries and in need of some emergency masterbation) (no, that's never happened yet). The cord is too short and, to be frank, the vibes from it are maybe too strong? I was not sure that was possible, but I guess the setting levels are off kilter for my needs (either too slow or too fast). To each her own.

So I guess that there's no need to play 'One Shining Moment' or whatever that song is that NBC uses as a theme song at the Olympics in anticipation of the next post, right?

C'mon, you can do it. One good one and you can call it a good day.

There are a couple of stores I can go to in D.C. but obviously I can't really try out the merchandise (and that's a good thing, I guess, cause who wants to buy something someone else has already "tried on"?). I have no idea whether I prefer silicon or chrome since I've never really experimented with either. Maybe I should invest in a variety of mid-priced items and just see what works best. I can probably sell the ones that don't work out on E-bay......

On a slightly related note, I went to the Good Vibes store in San Francisco once and looked around for a while. I ended up leaving empty-handed. When my escort asked me why I wasn't buying anything I said "I'll just order it online b/c I don't know what to say to Security at the Airport when they find it in my carry-on." One of the clerks overheard me and said "tell them you like to get off."

I love that store.

I've been out of the office today, and somebody passed this around. I rushed back, intending to post this as soon as I got the chance, and I was so disappointed that it had already been posted. My favorite was the commentary from all the people who had forwarded it; a bunch of recruiting coordinators and hiring partners.

Based on my research at the local sex toy shop, I purchased a Wahl over a Magic Wand. First, the Magic Wand weighs a lot; I think my wrist would collapse from repeated use. Second, the Wahl cost about half the price at about $30. Third, it comes with a variety of attachments for FREE!! While you are somewhat limited by needing to be close to an outlet (never cramped my style), there is no danger of running out of juice (haha) at a critical moment.

Like ncs, I am a fan of vibration with non-vibrating toys. Unlike ncs, they are often used simultaneously with excellent results.

Perhaps I can fill in.

Ready for the Oral Tests?

The Leisure Learning Unlimited catalog lists courses on making pottery, tasting wine and cooking exotic dishes. And there's the usual Mars and Venus self-help classes teaching how-to-find-a-mate-you-like-who-actually-likes-you-back.

This fall, a new kind of self-help class appeared on the schedule. Former hard-core porn movie director and writer Vaughn Dampier was scheduled to teach "Sex Toys: Exploring the Adult Playground."

Yes!

For people who feel a little afraid and a lot confused when they walk into a XXX store, Dampier planned to talk about the history of sex toys, what's legal, how to clean them (and that it is a good idea to clean them) and -- most important -- how to use them.

He was even going to give demonstrations.

For people who can't afford the Spice channel or a Susie Bright seminar, the $25 class (batteries not included) sounded like a fine way to spend a Friday night.

But then Dampier canceled. The man who provided the tuition refunds says the teacher got a stand-up comedy gig in California. That left 14 frustrated people, who had perhaps hoped to spend the long Labor Day weekend in bed doing homework. -- Wendy Grossman
