The New Intimacy

With clear or translucent toys, do you like being able to see the mechanism inside?

I just recently received the Blueberry Bliss, and I must admit that I found being able to see how the vibrator actually worked fascinating. How do you feel about being able to see the mechanisms that make your vibrator or other toys work?

I was also wondering if the response to being able to see the mechanism would be different between males and females.

Seeing the inner workings would be cool, but I haven't encountered any translucent/clear toys that I like enough to get in my times of space limitations. Maybe some day... It'd be nice to have that variety in my collection.

I am fascinated by the how-to in all kinds of things, and toys are no exception.

Depends on how they look. Sometimes they look cool, but sometimes they're not as aesthetically pleasing to me.

The first time I tried one I thought it was kind of neat to see the little motor spinning around, but I usually avoid clear toys because I find them ugly.

Call me a guy but I always like to see how things work. When toys die I always take them apart to see if I can fix them. Most of the time I can fix them but they will not go back together without some glue of something.

One of my friends has a fleshlight and he absolutely loves it. The only caveat I wish it had was that the silicone used was clear, and possibly an option for the fleshlight to be clear too. But that may be the voyeur in me, I wanna watch! (do boys?)

I like this a lot. It makes me very curious, and it makes the toy more interesting.

I don't think I would buy a toy just to watch it and anyway, don't know how I could see it work anyway while using it.
I really like sensuous looking toys so it took me forever to get the Hitachi.

it doesn't matter to me, but it is cool to see the inside.

The only ones you can't fix are those that you BURN

I think it's great to be able to see inside - I just reviewed a penis pump (link) that is completely clear. Be able to see through it makes it better

The first time I saw how a vibe really works was eye opening and I really liked it. The Blueberry Bliss was a sweet surprise as I wasn't expecting much from it. It's a really nice hard plastic vibe!

It doesn't matter to me(female) as long as its a good toy.

I LOVE anything where I can see the internal workings. I'm fascinated by it! I once saw a see through phone in a movie and have always wanted one!

It's kind of cool, but the clear toys aren't usually very pretty.

I love to see how mechanisms work, but, unfortunately, I rarely see a transparent toy that suites me - usually the transparent ones are rabbits, and rabbits do not work for me.

I have a see through phone. I wonder if it's the one you saw.

I like to see internal workings - it's really neat! - but between two otherwise identical toys, I honestly think I'd probably go with the non-see-through one. I just think they look nicer, is all.
