I use my toys solo when the guys are unavailable and we often use them together. If you find that you are losing sensitivity in your clit what you can do is bite the bullet, so to speak, and stop masturbating for a few weeks. So long as you don't have a physical reason to be losing sensitivity such as hormone shift this should return expectations to normal as your nerves take much less time to re-attenuate. If you expect to orgasm quickly you may have to readjust your thinking a bit.

Sex toys have really opened a lot of doors in my sex life.

Totally the opposite. Never having gotten off during sex without toys, I'm probably biased, but that's my experience, anyway. I had my first orgasm using a vibrator, and after that, I was much more aware of my own sexual thoughts and feelings--obviously I had had those feelings before, but they were sort of vague and aimless because, well, they never led to much. More recently, I've found that I only really started to enjoy plain-old penetrative sex after experimenting with penetrative toys myself. I had liked it emotionally/psychologi cally before, but I had never gotten much out of it once the foreplay was over. Using toys made it "click" for me, so that I now know how to make sex a lot more pleasurable for myself.

I've been masturbating very regularly (roughly nightly) for a very long time, more than 10 years. I've moved up the ranks of clit o'steel-ness, and ... more
Right I feel the same way some times. Or that it take A LOT longer for me to get off without them, and sometimes my partner just doesn't last that long. he gets kinda sad when he can't get me off on his own

Enhanced it somewhat! Toys have spiced things up! It easy to get used to them and sometimes hard to orgasm without them.

toys helped me embrace my sexual self. They helped me discover what I like and what works for me. Having used them, I now have a much more fulfilling sex life with, and without, the use of toys with Mr.

But don't you think you should be able to get off with out your toys, i'd think I would consider that hindering my sex life, that I have become dependent on a vibe for pleasure

If you've desensitized your bits to the part where you need them, you may have to ween yourself. Try alternating use of your toys and use of your fingers (or your partner's). And remember that you don't have to take 5 minutes to come. Take your time.

But are you talking about the ability to have ANY orgasm (clitoral or penetrative?), or are you talking about needing dual stimulation to orgasm during sex? Were you able to orgasm during sex before you started using toys? Some women do not and cannot have an orgasm during penetrative sex without clitoral stimulation and there's nothing wrong with that, or using toys to be able to have an orgasm during penetrative sex.

Sex toys kind of detract because I don't have the motivation to go out looking for a guy to have sex with because I'm content enough with my toys.

More than not we're intimate without toys, and I don't use them on my own often, so it's not an issue for us.
