Each well-made sex toy product is designed for an exact purpose, but these objects can only do what they were designed to do. Sex with a real live person is full of exciting possibilities and surprises. Just as sex toys can do things to your body that a person cannot naturally pull off, having sex with your partner is an intimate experience; this is something a toy will not be able to do. On top of all this, a sex toy will never respond to your touch the way your lover does. Using toys will not replace your partner anymore than fast food replaces a Thanksgiving dinner. Sure, toys are fun and good at getting you off, but they can never match up to the satisfaction of giving and receiving pleasure with someone you care about.

I'm sure it's possible. People get addicted to alcohol, drugs, gambling, lying, and all sorts of other things, so why not sex toys?
Sex toys are meant for enhancing one's sex life, not replacing a real person. Once you learn how to get off with a sex toy, it can be quick and direct. You get off. With a person, there's directing, asking, pushing, telling, and still you're not guaranteed an orgasm. However, with a real person, you have emotions, feelings, and hopefully love.

I love sex toys as an "addition" to our sex life. With toys how can you get the response from your lover when you tease or taunt them into oblivion? I think when someone is first introduced to sex toys, they may want to use them quite frequently "because" they are "new" or perhaps you feel more comfotable exploring your body solo at first. Once the initial novelty wears off, you want your lover there to enjoy them with you. Nothing can replace that.

Possibly, but don't let that possibility bother you.

old post is old, however.... how bad would it really be if you were addicted to sex toys?

toys are toys. if you just want to get off, there is no reason not to grab one.
if you want a relationship, people are good for that, I hear.

I don't know, I'm happy with my dildo. I'll tell you if I have issues later.

I think any addiction is possible! If you are worried you may be on the way to becoming addicted.
