It's nice to see people who are in polyamorous relationships that are happy. I feel like masturbation when in a relationship feels more normal to me. I never knew about materials before coming here (didn't know that toys were ever supposed to be hard materials other than plastic.) I feel more comfortable with the fact that the idea of threesomes conflicts with my jealous, paranoid nature, rather than just feeling like a total prude no matter how hot it sounds. I feel more excited about trying anal, seeing so many people who enjoy it without it being messy all the time. And I've seen more issues for transgenders, before here I only knew they existed, no one talked about laws accommodating them and such.

I also have learned a lot about gender, gender expression, and issues that affect trans folks since joining.

I considered myself pretty well versed in some of the "vanilla" sex topics and also in policies and current events involving sexuality and/or sexual orientation. However, before I came to Eden I was so against anal play because I thought that it always would be painful and/or gross, and now I have a different perspective. Another topic that I learned a lot about and started to take into consideration is polyamory, I had rarely even heard of this but I am glad I have info now.

All that's changed for me is my interest in specific toys and toy companies. I hadn't heard of Vixskin or Fleshlights before coming to EF. I was already involved in sexual politics and kink so none of that's new to me.

Toy materials and safety for sure.

Most of what I learned about sex toys and what was available etc. came from swingers parties and local sex shops. I can't even go in now without cringing at both the prices and the multitude of nasty jelly toys.

Honestly, toy materials. The majority of everything else, I had already known beforehand. But I'm thankful to them for that, because it helped me in a lot of ways. They also opened me up to the idea of using vibrators for partner play, I was never into them before.

I would say gender issues, feminism and poly topics are all things that I've learned more about from this and other communities.

You give an option for domination but not for submission?

I was generally aware of most of the topics that are covered on Eden, but I've really become more comfortable with some elements since joining (and submission is one of those things).

Plus, I've learned about em-dashes here

Eden changed everything for me!

I never knew anything about sex toys, I never knew how empowering sex toys could be! I never knew that there were precautions you had to take, as in material safety! It opened up my mind to pegging, anal play, and spanking!

It showed me all kinds of awesome things with lubricants, YOU CAN FREEZE THEM! Ah! I learned lubricant compatibility and quality, They are not all the same!

I learned about a community that I'm so glad to be apart of! Our reviewers are all so different, there are transgendered, bisexuals, single women, married men, all types of people using toys and other sexual things. It helps me remember that I'm not weird for using toys, so many other people do too!

I love EF!

I am more knowledgeable about materials, value of the toy I am purchasing and also have tried toys I would have never thought of because of assignments. I love the openness of Eden and also the reviews are amazing. I have bought items I would have passed up and passed up things I thought would be better.

I have learned all the different things to consider when finding a toy you want! It's been really educational, and I also feel like I am more sexually active and awake now!

Mostly material safety, etc so far. I feel pretty set in my sexuality and view of sex.

Eden is the greatest this is the only social network I am on. I love it here everyone is nice and informative. It has changed how I view some products and makes me less embarrassed to ask questions I have. I have been in to an adult store and was very uncomfortable online with a very active adult website makes shopping a lot nicer! Plus I have everyone here to ask my questions to! EDEN is the shit!

I said Material Safety and Quality, although this place has also changed my viewpoint on sex toys and their use in general.

To be honest, I'd not purchased a sex toy before this year because I'd felt it was defeatist--like an admission that I'd never have partnered sex. Hanging around this site and reading the stories of other people and hearing their experiences made me feel a lot better about sex toys and my own circumstances.

Self exploration can be fun!

Eden has done a whole lot for me! I've found a new beloved hobby, an outlet for sexual energy, a comfort in being able to talk about intimate things, and the ability to turn them into more everyday natural conversations. LOVE doesn't come close enough!

But the one thing on that list up there that I will go ahead and confess that Eden really made me rethink and change my mind on is... fellatio. Which is hilarious cause I'm the only vote up there for it right now. But I think a lot of it stemmed from the fact that I don't 'own' one of those so how can I begin to think of how to do it? Will I be horrible at it? Will it be disgusted? Etc.

Awww, Jen that's so awesome to hear!! And your fears are totally understandable. I've been giving head for over a decade and I still wonder if I'm doing it right!

I've mainly learned about material safety but I've also indirectly learned about anal and male multiple orgasm via the toys I've ordered from EF.

I think Eden has made me a more informed sex toy consumer. I knew that silicone was good, and I always had reservations about cheaper materials like jelly (based on my own observations of the material), but the info on Eden has clarified my view about materials. I love the amount of info about material safety and care that can be found. Many sex toy retailers provide limited info about the toys they sell.

MeliPixie - your part of what makes the site interesting, I really enjoy reading about your perspective on the issues.

Lots but mostly I better embrace my sexuality, masturbate more (and better than before) and my man and I love getting highly quality toys made of high quality materials and having a romping good time.
