I do have to give you kudos for handling the 'pulling aside' well, and for not throwing your hands in the air over every disagreement.

Because we love you and value you as a contributor.

Now, I find myself writing them for the readers - I also try and gear my students the same way. I think if you can walk away from a review knowing what it feels like to touch the toy, being able to see it in your head, and have an idea of how it would work for you specifically, then the review was done right. Did I do this at first? Not at all. But overtime I learned what the review program is really here for and tried to cater around its purpose, not mine.

You know what's weird? Both Tori and Champers are both in NJ right now... odd coincidence, right?

Yeah, it is tricky trying to maintain a healthy balance in the community. A few people with bad attitudes can sour it for everyone, yet if everyone agreed on everything, we'd all be bored.

Just get as much info as you can from your mentor. And you know what? If she graduates you, there's nothing saying you can't take a class from another mentor whose style you like. There are several people here (who have awesome reviews) who've been through the program several times.

I know I've had to find the balance between my opinion and a heat of the moment incident. Some people's comments tend to bring out the worst in me and I just try to back away from those to let myself be a little more diplomatic.

I think actually meeting the team at MoSex was one of the highlights - but also getting the opportunity to write for SexIs and EdenCafe. That made me really feel like part of a community.

I also think the whole thing has been memorable - watching the community grow and evolve and expand.

Hands down, the Liberator Ramp and Wedge. I've been holding off because I don't have a ton of spare space in my apartment, but I think there's so much my man and I can do with it that I'll just have to find someplace to store it in its downtime.

Awesome. I feel like I arrived at just the right time; however, there's a part of me that wishes I could have seen it grow and evolve over the years.

The Liberator furniture also works well for lounging too. The wedge is a great backrest

Ever since I first joined, I always fancied this - link

I have a fantasy of a threesome with my wife and another guy, but this is probably the most emotionally safe way of ever seeing that through. One of these days I'll save up and get it!

You won't regret it - it really is an incredible little piece of technology. I adore mine and I'm sure I still haven't found all the ways to use it.

Cheerio! I will have to rush off soon too. Thanks SO MUCH for the honor of inviting me - and pairing me with somebody as awesome as Tori! It's been a lot of fun.

I want that too - even just to use with one of my harness when my man isn't around. For a molded blend of polymers, it's sexy as hell.
