Help - dh has bought me a rabbit (not the furry kind)...

216 replies

Eowyn · 28/08/2003 20:57

& the point is, I really don't know I want one & even if I ever drink enough not to feel totally embarrassed about using it, dd's room is close enough for me to hear her breathing, so I will be worrying about her hearing the whole time.

So, he is now in a strop & saying shall he take it back, & I don't know if I'm overeacting & should try to improve our very rare sex life, at the end of the day I'm just so self-conscious anyway I can't see this helping, unless I was very alone, & that doesn't exactly benefit him.

Any advice ??? & if I'd known how to change my name I would have, there you go, no secrets me.

Eowyn we could use it to stir the drinks.

wickedstepmother · 29/08/2003 11:03

I have one and it is CRAP ! It is just too subtle. It resides in the bottom of my wardrobe where it will stay for an unknown length of time, only seeing the light of day to be thrown out.

Northerner · 29/08/2003 11:05

WSM - If it's too subtle for you why not try 'the stallion' my friend has this and from what she's told me it's alot more agressive

WideWebWitch · 29/08/2003 11:18

This thread is hilarious! Especially the bird food and bird books. Eowyn, men sometimes get these things so wrong don't they? I have a friend whose husband bought her a similar 'goodie pack' for xmas one year and we were both cringing as she told me about it. Just because their relationship was in such a state that the 10" black vibrator in a box with crotchless knickers and knob cream or something was completely inappropriate given their marital circumstances. Obviously he's trying to tell you something (I WANT SEX WOMAN! They're so subtle aren't they?) but he's just gone about it in the wrong way. It sounds to me as if moving back into the same rooms would be a start and then some time together without your dd around might get things going again. Could you get a night or weekend away? Is there a relative your dd could stay with so you can do this? Maybe some time alone talking and being together and remembering why you married would help you to feel more positive and interested in the physical side of your relationship. Sorry if I sound like a Womans Own agony aunt.

Oops sorry.

wickedstepmother · 29/08/2003 11:23

I did have the 'toad in the hole' but the motor died and they don't stock it anymore!

Toots · 29/08/2003 12:08

Love the fact that this thread is in the 'relationships' topic. I once cycled home in the dark as I'd forgotten I'd borrowed my lamp batteries to light up another part of my life. Doh!

Jenie · 29/08/2003 12:34

I have several battery operated toys now, I enjoy all of them but have found that some are great to share and others not so great, I'd definatly say that every woman should have atleast one toy just for herself.

Dp recently got me a stone shaped ring that vibrates silently never taken it out anywhere but suddenly realised why some women take so long in the toilets...

slug · 29/08/2003 13:31

Dh and I got very drunk n the town one night and ended up in several sex shops in Soho. We bought a collection of ...ahem...'marital aids' and had a fine old time using them. I blush to admit that it's now broken. I would love to replace it, but I won't go in with the sluglet and can you imagine the look on the babysitter's face if we reeled in after a drunken evening with a large bag from Anne Summers?

Northerner · 29/08/2003 13:38

Slug - Anne Summers pride themselves on their 'discreet' packaging, and reckon that no one will guess where you've been shopping! LOL -everyone recognises their black bags with tiny red hearts. So your babysitter probably would guess where you'd been!

prufrock · 29/08/2003 13:49

I used to have lots of toys. Then the burglar used the bag they were kept in to carry away my stereo. I've often wondered what his reaction was when he opened up the side pocket.....

And at a very very drunken party a few years ago a waterproof toy had somehow reached the table. One of our friends used it to stir a jug of vodka red bull. Just as he was lifting the drink to his mouth he asked if I had washed it after using it last. "Of Course" I said, waited until he'd taken a sip and innocently called out to dh "and you washed it last time you used it too didn't you"

(Just to be clear - it was a joke)

SamboM · 29/08/2003 13:55

We used to have a big black one called Whitney - I wonder what happened to it? Maybe one of the removal men snaffled it?

katierocket · 29/08/2003 14:01

twiglett - what's your massager thing called? I think I've heard of those but can't remember name.

I can't stop getting back on here to check this out, never before have i had so many replies.

www - you are dead right, we need to get away & haven't done so since she was born, all the annoyances of the day get in the way of feeling romantic big time & he is always oblivious.

Glad I'm amusing you all - am actually getting quite excited about the weekend now, it's just the thought of him being there too that makes it all feel a bit seedy.
Question is, shall i report back to you all...
(by the way the Ann Summers bag was massive & bright pink & not in the least discreet - had to tear dd away in a hurry)

prufrock · 29/08/2003 14:08

katie rocket - if it's the same as mine it's an Omax. Good and discreet but I tend to use it more on my aching shoulders and scalp

katierocket · 29/08/2003 14:18

ahh. that was the name! which is best then? rabbit or omax (or something else entirely?!)

SuzySue · 29/08/2003 14:21

Ooo WickedStepMother just introduced me to this thread. I used to have a rabbit too - they're great.

Unfortunately ex took it with him on his departure - wonder if I should be worried by that act?!?! :0

howstrangeisthat · 29/08/2003 14:23

Well mine new toys have had a trial run!

wickedstepmother · 29/08/2003 14:25

I wouldn't bother with the Rabbit if I were you. But I like the sound of the Omax, is that the one that is advertised in the sunday supplements as a 'personal massager' ?!

Have a look here for other alternatives. CAUTION - Do not use link if you are in work or with comapny !!!

The 'Anal Intruder' looks terrifying !

wickedstepmother · 29/08/2003 14:27

Hilarious names for the products

wickedstepmother · 29/08/2003 14:28

'Neon Nobber', 'Bendy Boner' and 'Shagasaurus'

Jenie · 29/08/2003 14:28

For novelty I'd say that flipper the dipper was very funny (I like dolphins) and was given it for a birthday, although getting it on dp proved tricky but very funny, I giggled for days.

Come to think of it I'm not sure that they make that one any more, it was Anne Summers.... God now I feel old.

wickedstepmother · 29/08/2003 14:30

They do make it Jenie, it's on that link I posted. We also have the 'vibro ring' but can't use it for it's full purpose as it gave DH sore bits

easy · 29/08/2003 14:41

Howstrange

Well, I gather you've taken a long lunchbreak. Feeling relaxed now?

I'm very envious, do tell if your dh's pressent was worth the effort he went to to buy it for you.

PS I'm really jealous, mine isn't even buying flowers atm
