NSFW - Could I have some advice for my first time with gay (homosexual) sex?

What brand/type of dildo should I use to start experimenting with anal penetration? My boyfriend and I have been dating for a couple months and want to start experimenting with anal penetration. At first I thought "no sweat, there's probably plenty of stuff online"! And while there's certainly a whole lot of information about this type of thing, I haven't found much in terms of "dildo reviews" (as silly as that sounds). Are there any sure products that won't disappoint for a "beginner"?

He is 6'5 with a relatively large penis while I am pretty scrawny and top in around 5'9 at most. I'm a little scared I might waste money on something I can hurt myself with or that won't feel right.

Besides the advice of lots of lube and practicing with fingers, is there any good "starting dildo" for this type of thing? I've heard silcone-based is the way to go, but are there any brands or specific products that might be best? To be honest, I'm not even sure if butt plugs are the way to go at first (or even what type of lube is best).

Help me fix my dildo.

So, on a whim, and thinking it would be fun to offer a variety of size experiences to potential partners, I bought a Vixen Ride On sleeve/extender (NSFW). Slight problem with the mechanics, though. A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to try it out, and while I didn't have any problems getting it on (no pun intended?), I ran into a slight hitch, namely that the dildo tends to bend at the solid/hollow junction when it's being used. There's a bit of dead space between the tip of my penis and the beginning of the solid portion of the dildo tip, and that seems to be what's causing the trouble.

Is there any safe way to fill in the hollow part a bit to conform more to my particular shape? Could I use some sort of hollow, but rigid, tube slightly larger in diameter than my penis to stent the inside, or is that just asking for trouble?

Ran a dildo through the dryer; throw out?

Anonymous — Mon, 21 Nov 2011 17:39:13 -0800

I ran it through the dryer... sex toy edition. So I managed to run a silicone dildo through the washer and dryer, dryer on perm press, full cycle. Is it now off-the-table for sexy times?

No visible damage, no meltiness, no burnt smell or anything like that. Looks and feels intact.

Thanks!

I'm looking for a Statue of Liberty dildo as a gag gift for a friend. I'm in New York city this weekend. Any idea how I might find one?

Sex toys that don't look it

[sex toy filter] Does the hive know of any dildos (or vibrators) that look like anything BUT a sex toy? Yes, one could just use the whisk handle or whatever, but I'm looking for items intended (read: made for play, waterproof, non-absorbent, seamless, etc) to be sex toys.

Props if you DO know of a sex toy that appears to be a whisk or any other kitchen utensil.

Size doesn't matter, just price.

Gentlemen, ladies, if you please: where can I get a dozen dollar dildos? In Southern California or online, I need to procure a bunch of diddlers, dildos and dongs.

I'm shooting a little student film that requires an assortment and I don't want to shell out $30 a piece or something. Sorry I don't have a more exciting reason. They don't need to be in usable condition. They shouldn't give me the clap, though.

Oh, and one of my close friends used to run "Passion Parties" so I can use some of her old models, but I'll need more than she can contribute.

Come what may...

And the Best Dildo Award goes to....? (NSFW, obviously) So I'm looking for a dildo. Some helpful details:

+ I'm a dildo-virgin and I'm a bit apprehensive about using one, so I'd like something that's more humanlike (i.e. not a glass one).

+ I'm a female heterosexual.

+ The only way I was able to have a clitoral orgasm with my partner was through masturbation. I basically had to learn how to have a clitoral orgasm on my own. I feel like this is the only way I will be able to have a G-spot orgasm, and I want a dildo to help me learn how.

+ I have no idea how much a good dildo costs, but I am a poor college student so my budget is around $50.

So, Mefites, what's the best dildo out there for me?

(Oh, and I know I'm not guaranteed to orgasm with a dildo, so I hope this doesn't sound like I have unrealistic expectations about all of this...)

What is your favorite sex toy and why?

Anonymous — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 13:02:29 -0800

My girl and I (a male) are looking to spice up our sex life with more toys. This question is a two parter. First, what toys do you recommend and why? Second, are there any particular brands that we should check out (i.e. is there an Apple in the sex toy business) ? We are up for anything and both like anal penetration and experimenting.

Already own:

- A generic straight / smooth 8" vibrator
- A generic wired bullet vibrator
- A nice straight glass dildo (9") with bumps
- A strap-on (but the dildo attachment is no good / too plasticky)
- A few other little doodads

What should we add to our arsenal?

Anal beads? More and different vibrators? A curved glass dildo? Cock rings? Let us know!

Please recommend specific brands and models and tell us WHY you like it. We are not terribly concerned about price, and would rather pay for something that is made well and will last, versus some made in China crap that is going to break after a few uses. Recommendations for a good online store to buy them from is appreciated as well -- the only one we really know about is goodvibes.

Thanks!

I will be so lonely without it :(

Sex toys + airport security/immigration control/customs? Does anyone here have any experience with taking a sex toy (I'm thinking of a big blue obviously penis-shaped vibrator here) through airport security and customs in the US and Europe? I kinda wanna take one in my carry-on luggage (because I'm a backpackery kinda girl and hope to have only carry-on luggage) but I'm scared.
