Is your significant other ok with you reviewing sex toys

Contributor: P'Gell P'Gell
I am editing this and sending it directly to Unfullfilled. Please read her other posts, concerning her lack of orgasms and then look at her partner's comments concerning HIS pleasure, which seems to not include her pleasure at all.

Actually, he introduced me to the whole idea! He knew I loved toys and sensual items, and he knew someone who used this site a loooong time ago, so he suggested I sign up!

So, no, he definitely doesn't mind

I'm really sorry about that, unfulfilled. I think P'Gell made some really good points. For me, I don't really have much advice, because my man supports my work here at EF 200%. He sees my toys as his allies, and he has said repeatedly that he gets excited when I get an order because he knows he's going to get some. Sometimes he'll even say - you don't want to try that by yourself first so you can figure out how it works? lol (I've told him about learning curves with different toys.) But I don't always want to, because I like learning about it with him, rather than just by myself. He's really proud of my reviews (in fact he helps me edit them) and loves the growing toy collection.

I'm really sorry you're going through this unfulfilled, and I hope you can find a way to work this out. Your orgasms do need to be a real priority for your husband (she said in another thread that she has never had an orgasm before), and I think it's so sad that they aren't. I hope with more communication you can help him see how important it is.

Oh gosh, I've replied to your other post regarding orgasms before coming across this thread, didn't know your husband is against insertable toys.
I don't really know what to say about your situation. I don't know what kind of personality or temper your husband has, will you be in a bad situation if he discovers your toys? Like BBW suggested, enlisting the help of a professional might be the best solution to you and your husband's problems.

My husband felt a little awkward when I showed him my first toy, I had to prod him to use it on me. Nowadays, when he sees me play, he'll lend a hand without being asked. He does not have a problem with me reviewing toys, I even let him read my reviews.

My boyfriend is still a bit insecure, but he knows that nothing will ever replace him! He doesn't really like them, but he playfully calls me a blogger and I feel like I really make a difference with my video reviews. He also enjoys using them on me!

My Man never thinks the toys "replace him." He ... more
"We use the toys, WHILE we make love and I now orgasm, mostly from HIS efforts, but with the toys as a supporting role.

He wants what gives me the most pleasure, and I want what gives him the most pleasure. That's our interpretation of love."


This exactly.

P'Gell's response is exactly how we feel on the matter.

My husband is constantly amazed and turned on by the fact he can give me pleasure before and after intercourse takes place, and even when he is not in the mood. He is the one whom still delivers the pleasure, after all!

I'm sorry he's jealous of your hobby. At least that is what I think of this whole thing for me. You know, I'm the opposite side. I used to be very jealous of previous GF's toys, and now with my fiancee I am growing into a new comfort level. I think one of the most important things is truly honest and open communication, and after that comes a renewed comfort. I would actually be floored now if my S/O was on EF as well, but alas, she is not. I think he needs him space to be jealous and then find out what the issue is for him. And then, I think you need to show him that things can be better for him. Frankly, the biggest thing that helped me get over my insecurities was going shopping online for stuff for us, not just myself. Once we started having those dialogs, things changed and I feel much better about everything. Just have to find that place within yourself and let him do the same and things should hopefully get better.

You guys are a great community and I appreciate the responses. Rossie- he's not physically abusive by any means and he knows about the toys so there's nothing to worry about there.

Redbox, sweetie. Again, I think we were separated at birth.

I'm glad you are safe and at least comfortable.

I hope he will grow along with you in your new learning about your sexual self.

(Wow, I use that "huges" simile a lot. I MEAN it. I love to hug people. Y'all would be in trouble if you were around me, you'd all smell like my perfume.)

That's good. Hope he'll come around and understand your needs soon!

yes, she does not care. Because some of the toys are fun. Some are cheap crap. Most of my reviews are toys we purchased for play, and they have worked out well. She has helped with those reviews. I dont think she likes trying out the cheap toys that eden sends sometimes. But shes a trooper. Things you do for science.

Mine encouraged me to get more toys...and that's how I found this site. He's quite excited about the idea of me trying out a ton of different vibrators.

If he wasn't okay with it, I would probably still do it and just keep it private since it's my body and my private time. My ex actually wasn't okay with vibrators and tried to throw one away. I told him that the vibrator outdated him, so it was here to stay. But then, I needed vibrators more with my ex.

My boyfriend doesn't mind it at all. He thinks it's pretty cool. And he loves when I get something we can both use.

I wouldn't go behind his back if he didn't want me to do it though. That's not right.

My partner was very closed minded at first and now is totally okay with it.
