OK, so the other day I bought a vibrator online. I haven't used one for years, and certainly haven't used on since being with my husband for the past 6 years. Not sure why - just hasn't been on our bedroom list of things to do. Not even quite sure what happened when I ordered one the other day - just an impulsive thing, I guess.
But now I kind of feel embarrassed about it, I'd like to use it with my husband but feel a bit shy about it, but would be perfectly happy using it alone - is that wrong? Does it reflect badly on our relationship? Would he be devastated if he knew I'd been masturbating without him? I guess that last question is probably down to the individual, but in some ways it does feel a bit like cheating - i'm not sure if that's just completely irrational and that all women have vibrators stuffed in the back of a cupboard ready to use on a boring afternoon home alone...
Anyway, I'd be really interested to know what people's experiences are of using sex toys as a couple, or alone but whilst with someone. I'm not being pervy I do genuinely want to know. Of course if you don't feel comfortable answering, please don't!
