Overall, I prefer reviews by someone of the same sex. I just become annoyed by a guy telling me a woman, how I should feel using a toy. But...I have reviewed masturbation sleeves, w/o having a cock but from observation so I contradict myself.
I read somewhere that initially toys were all designed by men but now,women are very much part of the process.

As long as its informative to my sex, I don't really care.

Same sex- they have a similar anatomy, so they know what feels good.

Well I'm a woman so I like to read toy reviews from women because I can relate.

This. The majority of what I read are generally written by women, but I look at the product not the sex of the person writing the review.

There are quite a few guys and couples who I follow on here, who write extremely useful reviews that I enjoy reading just because they are well written.

I also know what particular reviewers to look for when I want certain specs on certain toys, male or female.

It depends on the product and the honesty of the reviewer. It is great to get both perspectives since men and women tend to notice different functions or lack therof on products.

I don't really care, as long as it's a well-written review.

The reviewer's gender does not matter to me for things I am buying 100% for myself. It matters a great deal however for any toy I would consider buying for my spouse or for us to share; in which case I would give more weight to reviews written by women.

Additionally....I know there are what appears to be couples writing reviews together. I think that is a great idea as it covers both viewpoints.

Generally I prefer same-sex reviews because I'm usually buying toys with my use in mind. Unless I'm getting a couples toy or a toy for my boyfriend, then I'd prefer either or a man's opinion.

As long as the writer makes clear whether it is personal experience or their partner's experience that forms the basis for the review it does not matter. For instance, I have read some very good reviews of male masturbators written by women, and likewise some very good reviews of vibrators written by men.

I choose "both" 'cause while I'm using women's reviews to learn about the product, reading about guys playing with their asses (or having their asses played with) is the definition of hot for me.

It doesn't make a difference to me. All opinions are very helpful!

It depends on what I'm getting and what I'm going to be using the toy for. Anything that's going to be used for couples play I like to read reviews from both genders.

I am a woman and prefer reviews written by women.... Men do not have a vagina - they do not know how certain things feel...

I like to hear it all. Everyone has their own style and personality and it's great to get everyones informed opinions regardless of sex, age, experience etc.

To me, it depends on the toy, a lot of the time.

If it is something meant for me, I love to get a woman's point of view, and vice versa for something meant for him. If it is for both of us, it doesn't matter.

I also will read a review for a toy for me written by a man too, as long as I still have a woman's point of view on it as well, and same goes for the toys for him.

I guess I prefer a woman for toys, but a man is fine for anything else.

I agree, depends on what you looking for. Same sex reviews help for male related toys as would think would be the same for female related toys...
