Why I forgot to post yesterday: I blame my fabulous glass dildo

I had big plans last night to post about a couple of tips you guys can use to help weed out the spam "w4m" ads on Craig's List, but I'm afraid I got sidetracked. I really can't recommend sex toys highly enough.

A few years ago, I was working in a fairly relaxed office, with some rowdy people, one of whom (the boss of pretty much everyone in that office) was going through a stressful but mostly amicable divorce. She came in one day feeling generally grouchy and out of sorts, and my direct supervisor finally asked her what the heck was going on. She explained that she was starting to feel some of the frustrations of being single.

At the time, I was also single, and in my early 20s, so, of course, I had a suggestion. "Go to Good Vibrations!" I said. "They're just around the corner!"

She looked at me in amazement. She was in her late 40s and had never owned a sex toy. In fact, it had never even occurred to her as an option. "People use those things???" she boggled.

"People don't???" I boggled right back.

She did not go shopping that day, but she did, eventually, venture out into the world to explore her options. The great thing about sex toys, though, is that they're good for when you're alone or with a partner. They're a great way to learn new things that you like, and to explore with a lover.

There's not always room for that kind of exploration in a casual sex context, but when there is, it's totally worth taking, because you never know what tips and tricks you might pick up.
