I'd love to see a wider variety of glass, stone, and metal toys too!

Thanks for answering my question(s) both of you

I have been curious if anyone else has benefited in real life from review writing here on Eden. It has really helped me at work!

Oh boy, a whole month to poke and prod into y'alls personal life.

I would like to know what toy, does not matter what kind, scares you the most. You know the one, the "Hell No I freakin using that!!!" toy?

Very curious as to how men in Russia react to sex toys? And are sex toys popular with women in Russia?

Wow, that's amazing! It must be pretty tough, but what I really love about learning other languages is how they really change the way you see the world. It's just great!

I have so much to explore yet, so I don't really worry about toys. There's still enough for me to choose from. I would love to see more storage options, though. My collection is growing rapidly, you know

But more glass, wood and stone sounds absolutely great too!

You are certainly welcome to do that, Tim!

Fleshlight Freaks dildos. Zombie one. All that decaying flesh really terrifies me I'm not a fan of zombie theme, it's way too scary and bothering for me.

Hello, Liz2 Cool question! Extremely interesting for me to answer.

I don't really have any reliable statistics, so I might be wrong, but when it comes to the younger generation, I don't think it's really cultural. I've met people who are open to the idea of toys or are already using some. At the same time, some would call it weird if not "pornography" (wth, right?) But those are everywhere, right?

It's another matter that sex toys here are marketed mostly in what I would call "the wrong way". There's still a huge emphasis on it being all about seduction or lust, with all these red curtains, semi-dark shops and everything. Really makes the impression of something shameful and forbidden. You also won't find any sex toys in regular stores or drug stores. All that is there are condoms and some rather bad lubes. Moreover, where I live (and it's the seventh by size nationally) only a few sex-shops offer good quality stuff, but the prices are just crazy, which makes Eden veeeery price-competitive even with all the delivery costs

How do men react... Well, I have only been with one guy and he's totally okay with toys. Even though right now he's imitating heavy Russian accent and trying to talk me into posting that "no one needs sex toys when there's a good old bear orgy" Also, some of my male friends know about this reviewing thing of mine and, as far as I can tell, they have nothing against using toys either... as long as it doesn't involve strapping-on, of course It's usually a huge concern and I also doubt it's cultural

I really hope it answers the question!

It's actually a really great icebreaker; saying I review sex toys is a fun way to break the ice in almost any situation!

It's also really gotten me into the habit of paying attention to nuances that I ordinarily wouldn't notice.

Dun dun dun dun DUNNNNNNN.

Probably the Hoss.

It's just... so... large.


NO. It's totally not, I lied. It's definitely the Belladonna Bitch Fist.

It's not the fisting part that scares me. It's the idea of inserting a fist as a fist into my anything that I find so troublesome.

Thanks for your insight. I guess its about the same in some places in the US. Places that sell toys are few and far between and they just look kinda sleazy, they have mostly cheap and overpriced products.

Guys are another matter; some see toys as an affront to their manhood or totally don't want to take the time to use toys with their partner. Interesting with your comment on strap-on play....so many guys don't want to even consider anal play. I feel fortunate that my man enjoys it, in that often he chooses a harness and dil for me to peg him.

Here it is next to impossible to find decent lube at a pharmacy, other then KY which I detest.

I think I have been dealing with EF for about 5 plus years, rarely disappoints.

Here's another silly one for both of you. How "girly" are you? Do you love getting dressed up and painting your nails and all of that? Or would you rather go out and do something that gets you all dirty?

And: yes.

But not in public.

I'm kinda shy.

Ooh, I guess I'm in between. I like feeling pretty; I like doing photoshoots where I wear cosmetics and earrings nad get to be a diva.

But.

I don't like applying cosmetics myself; I can't braid my own hair. I don't want to go camping, but if all you've got planned is shopping, we're gonna have a problem.

I'm a homebody, not a girly girl but not a down and dirty girl.


Except when I'm a pretty pretty princess.

Either of them would be a hard one to get in (Hoss takes me about an hour and a half to get in) but I agree the fist would be a chore.

Ha, we're very similar in that regard then. Although I do enjoy the social aspect of shopping. Not necessarily that we have to go and buy a ton of stuff, but I like walking around and trying stuff on and having fun being silly with it.

Also? *giggle*

CANNOT live without? I mean, I could go without anything; I've spent summers with no computer or phone access; I've gotten mugged and lost my kindle; I've had favorite clothes 'borrowed' on a permanent basis.

I guess the one item I'd rather never do without is my laptop--besides being a good way to pass time, it's got my entire history on here. Losing my photos, videos, memories... That would be pretty devastating.

Great question!

I'd like to meet... Hrm. Oh, this is so obvious I don't know why my answer wasn't immediate: Cher. Hell yeah. I mean, she's been this amazingly famous singer, an amazingly famous actress and she worked her way up from the top.

As to what I'd like to know: everything. Tell me everything, Cher, cuz I so totally want to know.

For both reviewers: What is the best assignment you have been given? What is the worst? What is the one item that you really want to have, but have not got around to purchasing it?

Congrats to both of you for being picked for the spotlight!
