Contest: $20 Gift Card to Babeland!

tll-contestIn the spirit of giving, I’m giving away a $20 Babeland Giftcard, courtesy of Babeland (who else?). I’m making this giveaway easier. Just leave me a comment on this post and tell me something about sex toys. Tell me about your first sex toy, and where you got it from. Tell me about the worst sex toy you’ve ever owned, or the best. If you don’t have any toys (and that’s okay too!) tell me about a sex toy you really want to try, maybe one that you’d like to buy with the $20 Giftcard if you win it. Pretty much anything goes, I just want some sex toy (or hell, even just sex related) comments.

This contest ends March 22nd at 11:59pm, and is limited to residents of the continental US only.

My first toy was a cheap, glow-in-the dark vibrator from Spencers. I had purchashed it as a gag gift for a friend, but when the party was canceled I decided to keep it for myself. I got many years of good use out of it before it passed away. Its little motor just couldn’t keep up with me.

My worst toy, hands down, is the G-Spot Yoko Yoko. It’s Japanese. It’s bright blue. It is shaped like a tentacle. It smells. And best of all, it came with a nondescript (seriously, there is no label whatsoever) bottle of BLUE lube, and a condom with a dinosaur and the words “I LOVE YOU” on the package.

I have oodles of sex toys but I’m lusting after a Sassi. I want the slow build up, the circling, rubbing ball against my clit, the tease, the wait and then the dreamy o’s that’ll come from all that patience and gentle work.

*nodsnods*

The sassi. It’s GOT to be better thhan MOST of the crap in my box. :)

@Epiphora – LOL!! I laughed, out loud. Fantastic. It was the dinosaur condom that loves you that got me. xD

@CarrieAnn – God, you and me both! The SaSi is just… sooo awesome looking. And I love that kind of stimulation, the rubbing more than vibration. Good luck getting it!

The Eroscillator 2 has my heart right now, although I plan to start having an affair with the Pure Wand as soon as it gets here.

I hope to never get a toy as creepy as Epiphora’s G-Spot Yoko Yoko *shudders*

I didn’t get my first sex toy until I was 38 (2 years ago) and into my first lesbian relationship. It was a vibe that you hooked up to your iPod called “OhMiBod”. Although I enjoyed the look and feel, I realized that I’m just one of those people that don’t get off with vibrators. (I know!!!) Still, it opened the world of toys to me and I have enjoyed seeing what’s out there that I like and don’t like. Each toy is a new adventure…

This question got me to remembering the very first time I went into a sex toy shop (a woman-owned store in SF, waaaaay back in the early 80′s when I was a brand-new baby dyke!). I was thrilled and terrified at the same time! I wanted a vibrator in the worst way and there they all were, each laid out on their individual pillows for display. I wanted to turn one on to see how it worked (I had never even SEEN one before!), but I was SURE that it would somehow be louder than a jackhammer and that everyone in the store would turn and stare! Luckily, the helpful staff pointed me in the direction of their “back room”, where one could have a private moment with each one (over the clothes, of course!). How did I EVER survive that??

There’s this thing about sex toys that i’m sure you well know. It’s common enough knowledge, yet it mystifies me still:
Many sex toys are designed in the likenesses of cute, cartoonish animals.
I’ve seen dolphins, bears, butterflies, the aforementioned tentacles, ducks, dinosaurs, fishes, and all manner of bunnies. Why is this such a huge piece of the sex toy market? Who finds cutesy animals hot? Let alone hot enough to put in or near their genitals? Are there really so many animal fetishists or furrie sorts among us? I’ve been in many a sex toy shop and browsed many a sex toy website, and yet every time i’m at least a little bit bewildered by this.

My favorite sex toy, hands down: plain old, unadorned lengths of rope.

My first toy was bought at this sleezy toy shop in my college town. I was blushing quite a bit when I bought that awful blue jelly vibrator. I was excited to try it out though because up to that point I had just been a creative gal utilizing natural things (such as veggies). So I tried it out and it wasn’t even made of silicone and was cheap and well. I burned that puppy out in the first day and then I discovered Babeland and my eyes were open :)

by Peach on March 17th, 2009 at 6:52 PM

@ephraim – To comment on your comment, a lot of the cartoony toys come right from Japan, where it’s illegal to export a toy that looks like any part of human anatomy. That’s why you get dildos that look like dolphins, or men’s masturbators that look like flowers or whatnot. However, the tentacle thing, I believe that’s related to hentai/manga stuff, where that’s a big fetish thing. I’m not into that, so I don’t know, but I have seen a company that specializes in weird dildos, and they make an impressively pretty tentacle dildo out of silicone. They also make a unicorn horn.

Don’t quote me, but I think Japan started it, constrained by export laws, and then it caught on because a vibrating duck is less “scary” than a big old vibrating dick. You know?

But I agree. Some of them… especially the “I rub my wormie” by Big Tease (related to the duck) and quite especially the dinky digger mole vibe thing by Fun Factory (a shame, because Fun Factory is amazing) are things I could never, ever use. Too disturbing.

First toy was a knock-off version of the rabbit vibrator. I think it was a dolphin. The Womyn’s Concerns house at my college organized a trip to Babeland in NYC one fine Sat. I was so nervous and uncomfortable, but the staff put me at ease. We all got back to campus and had to take “naps” to test our new toys.

My favorite sex toy is one I’ve never used – it’s one I own purely for comedic value and I actually won it in a contest for telling a funny sex toy story. It’s a massive 12 inch realistic dong with balls – I love it! I tell people that when I find a purse large enough, I’ll carry it around to ward off muggers, LOL!

I got a defective Tuyo and seeing as it is a round toy, I’m planning on painting it like a pokeball and for halloween I’ll be ash ketchum.

I have the laya and it is really good for single or couples play but my friend bought one like a year and a half before me and hers is still going strong but mine is starting to crap out. I don’t think that I use it more than her or anything. But I’ve already started to investigate my next purchase. Maybe I’ll get another laya though I’m thinking about one of the other vibrators made by that company. I might even invest in the throe.

by Sandra on March 19th, 2009 at 7:51 PM

Oh my gosh! I’ve just got to say the Dinky Digger is one of my favorites! Fun Factory makes a quality, excellent product and well, if it looks like a mole, I don’t care! It’s bright green, it’s not like a real mole is bright green. Ok, so it’s like a freaky anime mole with green hair!

My first toy-bullet, of course. But now I don’t think I’d buy anything that was available at our local shops because they are all terrible quality. I went to one of those “ladies parties” at a friend house and THOSE things were terrible quality. 2 of the test models didn’t even work, she said she was getting replacements! Why would you show those! They smelled and were hideous colors, all with those stupid moving beads and rotating shafts. Gag.

by Jenna Z on March 19th, 2009 at 8:28 PM

Oh, anything can be a sex toy if you’re in the right mindset (and read enough erotica), public transit on bumpy roads, ill-fitting jeans, multi-setting showerhead, drunk pierced women you meet at bad punk shows

Anyway, my toy chest is without a doubt the thing I would save in a house fire, for both monetary value and the fantasy that help would soon arrive.

Ahem – back to the point of my post – The best toys are the ones you pick out with a partner and start ripping open the packaging on the car ride home. I love a tingling lube on my clit for a bullet – and rechargable batteries.

Sometimes, though, I crave the sensation of a pyrex toy. heat them up, cool them down and keep them forever and with a variety of shapes, sizes and colors, they’re practically art. Easily cleanable art that should be removed from the mantlepiece when company comes calling.

OK – maybe not ALL company

;)

All of njoy’s products are wonderful. I especially enjoy the pure wand. Never knew I could squirt until that toy entered my life (I mean vagina) .

So I will tell an EMBARRASSING story. :) Years ago…a friend of mine gave me a hard plastic vibrator – it looked like it was airbrushed. It was going from purple to turquoise – very girly and pretty. So one time after much use of it, I wanted a little pain. One way that I have done that in the past is used those breath drops on my clit. I put a few drops on my clit and masturbated with my vibrator and my hand. After I was done, I brought my vibrator from between my legs and noticed that the paint was smeared all around – and the silver hard plastic was showing from beneath and I looked at my other hand and there was purple and blue paint on it. Sooo of course I grabbed a kleenex from my night stand and wiped between my legs and yes…purple and blue paint came away from my pussy. I was thankful it happened when I was alone and just masturbating instead of with a partner. lol

Thank goodness I don’t have any painted vibrators anymore…learned my lesson by humiliation. So now…my Hitachi is my favorite sex toy.

I guess, technically, my first sex toy was and is a board game — I bought it at a sex shop in London and my partner and I delight in the suggestions on the cards, the anticipation that each roll of the die brings and the adventures and scenarios we get to act out — anything from sweet, to sexy to downright kinky. But the game can be dull without the proper equipment and we are looking for some more…direct toys. I’ve been dying to get my hands on a good dildo for both of us to use and my gift certificate would go toward that. I totally want to fuck his virgin ass with it on our wedding night ;^P

by Luna on March 22nd, 2009 at 9:33 PM

I’m a sex toy virgin. Blush. I’ve read good things about the Lily.
