we own different ones but we havent discuss it... i think i need to mention it
I'm not shy at all, so I'll post and say that my husband(!) and I just went out and picked out a bunch of stuff for our honeymoon. (We leave tomorrow)
If you're in the SF Bay Area, Good Vibrations is a great resource, because it's a shop designed for women; no creepy dudes allowed! They also have a very comprehensive website: http://www.goodvibes.com/main.jhtml
Eh...I'm not saying that I'm against them. Just not for the honey moon. I prefer it was just him and I. Both just enjoying each others company. To me, I see toys as a way to help improve a sex life that may have become a little dull in time. Not saying that anyones relationship is dull if you're using them. Plus I'd rather our honeymoon be more intimate and romantic, than kinky and sexy. You know what I mean?
We have used toys before, it has been a while. We might! I'll have to ask him what he thinks. The only thing is, I am so afraid of it turning on mid-flight and having some sort of security person search the bag in front of me. I would die!
@Miss Olive You could always take the batteries out and put them in when you get there. That would be totally embarrassing if that happened!
The first thing DH said when we decided on a road trip honeymoon rather than fly anywhere was "great, now we can take as many toys as we want and not worry about having our bags inspected." So yes, we took a bunch along and had a great honeymoon :) We use them quite often in regular life, so it wasn't anything particularly out of the ordinary for us. We still had lots of intimate, romantic moments without them too...especially in the pool of our beach house...or is that TMI :)
We haven't gone on a honeymoon yet but we probably won't bring any on our anniversary trip because every time we travel, our bags are inspected and I really don't want TSA seeing that stuff!
I would hate to have that happen in an airport! My bff had one "confiscated" at the airport in Mexico. Going on a trip w/her long term bf.
In this day and age of crazy things the wacko terrorists would do, I know they're looking for strange stuff that looks electronic. Well let's just say they found her toy and waved it all around in front of the other passengers, until they took it to the back and then tested it (yea, they wanted to see what it did..was it a bomb or something?) and decided it was harmless after that.
I laughed my butt off at her when she called me after that. This happened about five years ago.
@bellenga ahhh I voted "maybe" but your story scares me haha but I can totally see it happening now!!!
Luckily, my fiance' and I are driving to our "mini moon" and won't take our big trip till our one year or something so I have time to figure it out
I took an electronic tooth brush with me when I went on a 4 day hike in the Andes. I had a porter to carry my larger bag and apparently the tooth brush got set off. The porter couldn't figure out what the vibration was and one of my friends had to dig through my bag to turn it off. Thankfully it was really just a tooth brush.
My fiance and I travel a lot and the toys always come with us. I don't care who sees. They are necessary.
We didn't bring our toys, but we brought other goodies like lube (yeah no shocker there) and our kama sutra book. In fact, I don't know why we didn't bring them...hmmm. Probably ran out of room in our suitcase! Now that you mention it, i'll be sure to pack something small and buzzy for our vacation in a few weeks.
Not a conversation we've had yet, but to anyone who's in the market for such things, I highly recommend Lelo toys. They are a Swedish company who makes toys based on the contours of the female (and male) form, rather than the cheap cartoonish-looking (or gross-looking) stuff you find in toy shops. The textures are fantastic as well. Not cheap though.
[Edit] Just noticed their website is currently giving the option to fill out a customer survey for a 20% off coupon, woohoo!
Nope. I think I'm one of the only females I know that haven't ever owned/used/etc one. They make me nervous. :p
eh... you're newlyweds. Do you really need toys? I sorta see toys as something you bring in to make things different from time to time, which I'd hope newlyweds didn't have that problem already. So basically no we wont' be taking toys on the honeymoon, but to each their own.
We own lots of toys, but do not travel with them. I would be horrified if someone went through them at the airport, or even if we just accidentally left them out at a hotel and the maid saw. We love to be adventurous, but are really private about it (except on Weddingbee!) :)
Haha no, we won't be bringing toys, but even if we wanted to we would, because we are honey mooning in S.C. at a beach house, so we wouldn't have to worry about someone checking our bags.
Toys are definitely going! They'll be in the checked luggage so if someone sees them, I will never know!
Second the Lelo recommendation for anyone in the market for battery powered fun.
We'll be taking things with us, I'm sure. We don't own anything hugely, um, phallic looking, so I'm not going to be hugely embarassed if anything winds up beign wved around in an airport.
we love them but I am not traveling with them. So a no go for the honeymoon
Ok, I've got a TMI question here. Regular poster with anonymous new name so I can ask this free of fear ;)
What sorts of toys are you and the misters out there using together? I've been exploring the idea of introducing toys to the game with my FH, but I want some ideas.
So, who's willing to share?
OMG HITACHI MAGIC WAND.
It's a big back massager, but that's awesome because it's sort of under the radar. Imagine the scenario:
Airport Security Dude: What is this here, ma'am?
You: Oh, it's just my back massager! :blushes:
Airport Security Dude: Alright, move along ma'am.
This thing is also sweet because you have to plug it in so it never runs out of batteries. Apparently some dudes are intimidated by them so you might want to try it out before the honeymoon. FI likes it because he can feel the vibrations too. If you're looking for something basic and amazing (and maybe you're a little coy and don't want a big plastic wang chilling in your room) you should get a Hitachi!
I hear too many stories about vibrators getting confiscated at security to consider this.
We're not bringing any, but that's simply because I don't feel like it's needed for us to have fun on our honeymoon.
In response to the bee asking what we use: mostly a bullet vibrator, because it's small and we both enjoy it. We also use anal beads (not often though), and a small vibrator that I bought before we ever had sex. Other than that not much.
We love toys but definately not for the honeymoon.... First I would fear it not making it through airport security or something.
Two i agree with what a couple other said about the honeymoon just being about us and being romantic and intimate... not really the mood toys do for us
I have a bunch some of the ones we use the most though
Lube is a must
Small finger vibrators... (i dunno how to spell the one we use) fukuoku or something like that
we have an under the bed bondage kit we use that from time to time
Vibrating cock ring
Vibrating butt plug (we use this for Double penetrations sometimes)
I think toys definitely help us get closer, allow us to feel perfectly romantic, and keep it plenty intimate. I don't think romantic sex necessarily≠hot, playful sex. They're all pretty intertwined in my head as far as fun time with FI goes. And it's not like we're having a threesome, they're just toys that enhance and switch up the play between the two of us. We will probably buy a bunch of stuff and pack it before the honeymoon, and I'm excited to go shopping for them! Maybe we'll mark the container they're in "THESE ARE SEX TOYS!" so the security people don't get the wrong impression, heh. Also, keeping them in the packaging will probably help. I don't really care if some bored, anonymous security guy in a back room sees them in my suitcase. Whatever, I'm sure he knows what a sex toy is and that millions of people use them. It's not like he's my boss or anything.
The insinuation that toys are things you buy to spice up a boring sex life is wrong and kind of offensive. We started buying toys about a month after we started having sex because they're fun, and variety is the spice of life, not just a dead sex life. Human beings just can't physically do some of the things sex toys can and if those things will produce sensations that enhance your sex life, why the heck not? I wish there wasn't such a stigma around sex toys. Like I said, it's not like you're having sex with a third person when you introduce a toy. It's not like you and your partner don't use the toy together and respond to the way you want to it be used. It's just like if, say, one of you had a third hand that magically vibrated or something. Heh. I have never, ever found sex with toys to be less intimate. It's often more intimate.
Has anyone in the NYC area been to Babeland? Such an awesome, low-key, women/couples-friendly store.
@FutureMrsHarless, I'm most curious about the vibrating cock ring and the vibrating butt plug. What would be the best way to introduce those....?
Thanks for the responses, ladies. You're really helping a bride out!
And I have to say, while I respect the idea that they are a nice addition to a "natural" sex life (my words, no one else's), I'm with Veganglam-- they're normal, fun, and just as romantic/intimate/honest.
MY opinion on the whole sex toy thing in general is that ... while they are definately normal and nothing to be ashamed of. I do think they should not be a necessity as long as you guys can enjoy each other and have a good sexual relationship with just the two of you....as long as you are both comfortable and are into them then why not add some more fun and variety.
Well anonybride... honestly me and my fiance hvae a very open sex life... we can talk about anything without fear.
Well i was more adventerous than he was to start with and as we became more and more comfortable with each other we just started talking about it and then that lead up to conversations about our limits if any...
He was nervous about things and finding out where my limits really were... so I guess for us it started out with us experimenting completely with each other without the use of anything else... (oral, anal, sex etc) then lead up to toys
Since I was way more experienced than he was with that sort of thing... he Had never used anything but lubricants and condoms so one day we went to an adult store and I showed him some things i thought would be fun and I let him picks some things he wanted to try from there.
He doesnt love the cock ring because ....eh hum... he is a rather large guy so it is really really tight on him... but I do find that it does seem to prolong his erection as well which is ok with me lol .... but I like it because it is designed that the vibrating bullet inside of it is resting on "my doorbell" during sex... but we use it from time to time
As far as the butt plug ... go with something small.... ( mine is a petite) with an easily adjustable speed... MY man LOVES when this is inside of me... because he says he can feel it vibrating through me & I dunno I am just one of those gals who was always curious about DP.
we have a toy box and a few of the items will prob take the trip with us..especially the one i have that plugs into the car lighter! specially made for long trips ;)
