    They also seem to be the biggest consumer of sex toys. A lot of girls have no problem talking about using toys, it’s pretty mainstream and TV shows and everything. There is always a vibrator in the night stand or sock drawer. Meanwhile if a guy has a fleshlight or something he’s a pervert.

      Exactly my point: when a woman buys a vibrator it seems like she just wants some fun. BUT when a man buys the 240 Volt FUCKMASTER Pro 5000 inflatable doll with non-explosive rubber coating, 6x adjustable speed vibrating vagina, rubbery sperm-proof ass and realistic orgasmic scream with optional built-in 7.1 sound system, he becomes PERVERT… why?

        Detroit: Tragedy at Binford Sex Tools show, when speaker Tim “Toolman” Taylor got stuck in one of the new XL Ejacu-Pumper models, whilst demonstrating features to the audience. Eyewitnesses say that while inserted into the machine, Taylor began to mimic riding a bucking bronco. During this animated outburst, Taylor lost his balance, falling backward, and accidentally pulling the refrigerator sized sex appliance down upon himself. In a scene that had played out countless times prior in his life, Taylor lost control of the unit, as it went into what a Binford representative called “overdrive mode.”

        According to an attendee, who wished to remain anonymous “I heard a noise that day that will haunt me for the rest of my years. I was across the expo hall, and amidst a low rumble of screams came a piercing cacophony of confused cries of pleasure and pain. I don’t know quite how to explain it. It was like a wolf, gurgling, grunting and howling all at once. The noise went on for minutes, getting louder and more desperate sounding. When it stopped, I guess that’s when his pelvis was crushed.”

        A public memorial service will be held at Ford field this coming Sunday, prior to the Lions game, with a private burial ceremony to be held later in the week.

      There are literal adverts on TV showing various sex toys for women to use; I am yet to see one catered towards their male viewership.

      (Not that I would want or need to see one lol)

        Isn’t that the point? It’s not an unfairness thing, it’s just a lack of demand. For most guys their hand and some videos are enough. By the time you’re done you feel dirty just cleaning your browser history, forget an actual used device… lol

          you feel dirty

          One might argue that this is the issue. Men watching porn feel dirty/wrong. Women masturbating and consuming their porn of choice is normalized.

          Male sex toys exist, they are just not advertised. (Aside from hole shaped after specific, often fictional, women. Again, the focus is on the woman, not male pleasure.)

        Been awhile since I saw TV ads, but I don’t remember even one for any kind of sex toy geared towards anyone tbh.

      It’s just not as easy, for the female anatomy to get there with hand alone, really. So there’s not much option but to choose help from an external source. Do you really think people think it’s ok for women but not men to buy sex toys?

        There is more of a stigma around men buying them, if they are for personal use.

          There is, but I think its portrayal in media is just a portrayal of reality. Most guys who will talk about it would never bother with a fleshlight, the cleaning alone post nut just makes it a terrible idea… it’s just different anatomy, and for most guys a hand is enough and they don’t really need more, the porn does the rest.
