Got to say since husband has become disabled sex toys have been the perfect way to keep our sex life alive and stop him feeling less of a man or something like that. Sex toys are not just for singular use and many different types of people use them for different reasons.

EmpressaurusKitty · 23/08/2026 16:24

I suspect that if I got one my cat would run off with it.

Yes, several and a husband. They become more useful as you get older. Knee replacement, dodgy hip etc.

Yes, I found this.
Also - DH left me about a year ago, so the toys are even more useful.
🤣

Yanbu. I have them. Highly recommend Lovehoney for them they have a brilliant selection.

Barney16 · 23/08/2026 08:24

Yes. In a house move I left stuff at my parents before moving to new house. Couple of weeks later my dad said oh Barney I tidied the stuff you left in the attic, I wasn't sure why you had dog toys but I put them in the blue carrier bag.

Optimisticdramalarma · 23/08/2026 08:20

I've got about 10!

Started off 'tame' and we chose bigger ones as time went on

My favourite is called 'the big black bastard'

It's massive

We started off buying a tiny one in boots,moved to lovehoney and ended up buying bbb on ebay (we did peek in ann summers but couldn't find one we liked-i don't know if it was that branch but it was all riding crops and willy pasta)

I want an even bigger one but are struggling to find one that doesn't cost £££

We have lots, we use alone and together.
there is a toy for every occasion 🌹

But what has that got to do with sex toys unless he uses one?

I dont have any because I have him

Do you not understand that a sex toy is something people use as well as having sex with their partner, not instead of? I live with my partner but I still might feel like getting off when he’s not here.

I have a rose that the ex boyfriend gave me, it's intense. Got rid iof him, but kept the rose 😁

Have you ever met a Kevin in real life and did it make you blush on the inside or burst out laughing or something?

We named mine so my husband can ask what I want or tell me what he wants to use. However avoided using proper names because I wouldn't be able to take bumping into someone with same name without giggling. So we have Mr Pink, Mr Black etc

I would completely out myself here if I said why said thing was called Kevin but last one was called Jennifer as it had side bits (bangs) like Rachel from Friends. I’ve had Mikey (black and shaped like a microphone), Sid (Sid vicious from Sex Pistols) and Quat, named after the kumquat fruit. I know, I know I’m completely insane.

RaraRachael · 22/08/2026 22:57

Nope.
Never have and never will.

whatwouldlilacerullodo · 22/08/2026 22:51

Some people love them. Others are not that bothered. I have few of them because I'm not a fan. If you want one, definitely buy it and try!

Wynter25 · 22/08/2026 22:48

Yes

I’ve never been attracted to a lump of plastic.

Icanthinkformyselfthanks · 22/08/2026 22:40

@Isitwrongtoask , I would say I don’t own a single sex toy. My husband however has a few in his arsenal which he employs to devastatingly fabulous effect! 😋😉

PollyBell · 22/08/2026 22:38

Jc2001 · 22/08/2026 21:49

Is that what you call it?

Well it depends on my mind at the time, they have their uses

Toohardtofindaproperusername · 22/08/2026 21:52

this should be an AIBU in itself - to call a sex toy 'kevin' :) .. sorry but that seems highly unreasonable to me :)

jumpintheline · 22/08/2026 21:52

yes two. Fabulous.

and a husband. Fair to middling.

Toohardtofindaproperusername · 22/08/2026 21:52

BeMellowAquaSquid · 22/08/2026 20:27

I have since I was about 18, now 46. Even more embarrassing is that I’ve given them all names over the years. Currently on Kevin, not sure where that came from 🤣
