All Comments on 'Sex Toys 101'

Thank you for your valuable and very realistic tips on buying toys. I agree with you that the marketers of adult toys seem only to be into marketing the fantasy of an item rather than it's true usefulness. So buyer beware. Your article helps clear some of the misinformation and outright deception that can cloud the buyers decision.

Good read for all

I always thought that the considerations discussed here were obvious, but I guess I was wrong.

Fairly good advice, but very limited in scope. I have a couple of questions for you. Do you prefer a dildo about the size of your partner, or larger or smaller for vaginal use? You may be about right about 7 inches, but I would think that girth is more relevant as one doesn't have to put the whole dildo in. In my case, I think my girlfriend likes the idea of a larger than me dildo more than the reality, so I opted for something about the same girth but somewhat longer (9 inches). It never has been pushed in (in my presence at least!) for more than about 7 inches, but it does look formidible, and that is part of the attraction. Finally you mention many materials but leave out glass and silicon, two of the more costly and desirable materials out there.
