It's definitely more taboo for a man than a woman to have a sex toy isn't it

Nobody would be pointing and laughing at a woman for having a vibrator (which presumably gets as 'dirty' after use)
This is true and important.

There are whole shops dedicated to selling vibrators in the States, you'll be in a small town and it'll be called Good Vibes and host reading events and sponsor a local girls sports team.

Every single girl New York has at least two in her nightstand drawer. They'll be brought out and deployed even when a boy's over.

Whereas if a gal came over for a one-night stand and saw a man with a 'light she'd head home, game over, real shameful object.

People talk about how female sexuality and masturbation is more taboo than male but I'm not sure that's true in polite society. Yes, in adolescent boys locker rooms everyone's joking about it, but other than Dissensus I haven't heard men speak openly about it. Whereas I've seen posters for Brooklyn instructional seminars on how a woman can reach greater heights of private pleasure, or watched an Amazon Kindle advertisement where a woman's on the beach reading smut, walking shopping aisles blushing as she listens to smut in public, there'll be a young child right down the aisle.

Not saying this out of any manosphere impulse, I'm not sure what should change or how, I'm not even saying it's fair or unfair, just noticing the way the world is.

Yeah, this is a notable reversal of the 'sexual double standard' that's usually assumed to work in men's favour.

Yeah, it's obviously total bollocks, isn't it.

That's because this place has a collective emotional age of about 11.

I'm reluctant to get involved in this convo but isn't it to do with women's sex toys nowadays being more discrete, less like the phallic dildoes and rubber schlongs of old, and more like little devices you can slip in your handbag? A replica rubber fanny is a lot more weird and undignified, not that different from a blow up sex doll - hence our distaste.

I also find it crass but I also find it freeing in a way. The ability to openly talk about the facts of life. My pal Cristobal has a shit-test, for seeing if people can hang. Which is seeing if they can talk openly about shit, and how we shit, how we wipe, all these facts of life. Some people won't even use the word shit. Crass Saxontongue. Everyday we do these things and we can never talk about them. What's your wiping technique Mr Tea?

Probably a fair point, although I've never heard it called a "handbag" before.

I like to think that this thread is like the pebble thrown into the pond, with the ripple being that Mr Tea has ordered the Stoya Destroyer already and is rushing hurriedly to the front door every time the bell rings in case his partner intercepts the package by mistake.

when a girl buys a vibrator, its seen as a bit of naughty fun. BUT when a guy orders a 240 Volt FuckMaster Pro 5000 blowup latex doll with 6 speed pulsating vagina, elasticized anus with non-drip semen collection tray, together with optional built in realistic orgasm scream surround sound system, hes called a pervert?

Edit:

Right, @Corpsey?
