Partner participation in reviews. Do you ever feel guilty?

My boyfriend is sometimes too eager to give his feedback. I recently was writing a review that I'd been putting off for FOREVER, really for no reason, it's one of our favorite toys, and finally I was like, alright I'm just going to write this and get it done. I was almost done and then my boyfriend was lime, "This is my favorite thing to do with that toy, make sure you add that!!!" I wanted to strangle him. But yeah, we almost exclusively buy toys we can both use so we can both get some input into the review. I think the only thing we have that he can't use are my Smartballs.

I don't feel guilty. He is stuck in a truck alone for 5-6 days at a time. I get him things just for him and his only job is to tell me if he likes it and why or why not. I do all of the specifics on the product itself. He doesn't mind at all. In fact, he tells me "When are you going to review a Fleshlight?" lol.

We discuss everything anyway. He likes the cool-down period, and it lets us tailor future purchases to our sex life

I don't interrogate him, but I do ask for his input on my reviews. He'll share his thoughts which are normally in line with mine, but sometimes illuminating. He likes it though, he's told me before he knows he'll be getting some when something new arrives - so he is all for it! lol

I do often.
I get pretty freaking excited when I get something new. And it really sucks sometimes, because he's not always as eager as I am to try everything out.

We have a pair of ankle cuffs that we bought about a month ago that are still unused. And I don't think they'll be used in the near future.

He loves testing things as much as I do, and we usually talk about sex afterward anyway. It's a way to give feedback and learn what we both like.

I am much more sexually active than my partner and sometimes I do feel a little pushy when it comes to critically testing a new toy. But relationships are all about balance and giving. So, she does the best she can to keep up in the bedroom, and I do the best I can to rub her feet and call her pretty all the time. I don't mean to be too mushy but it is so much easier than people make it out to be.

I don't know that I'd say guilty, but I do feel bad giving him the third degree about what he thinks about things. He's not the best at communication. Most of his answers are "yes," "no," "feels good," or "it sucks" so I feel like I'm being pushy trying to get a paragraph of his thoughts out of him. I know he enjoys the testing process and getting new things, he just doesn't enjoy trying to put his thoughts together afterwards. He's getting a lot better though.

Getting my partner involved is a good thing. I just want to make sure I approach it in a sexual way before hand. As long as she knows it's something I'm going to review, she is happy to participate and give feedback. I don't write enough reviews for it to be anything more than a novelty right now. If I was asking for a review everytime we had sex, yes, it would be a problem.

Why feel guilty about it? It would be different if only you got enjoyment out of the products but he does too.

I don't feel guilty and he's the type to give an opinion especially a bad one if he feels it's not good enough.

I pretty much did that kind of stuff anyways. You never know what someone likes unless you ask. We even do the same thing about sex, even if we didn't use any toys.

Yeah I write the reviews and my partner gets to play with toys she doesn't have to pay for. I think it's not bad.

my hubby loves it bc he knows that i will write a great review after adn that helps to get him more things to have fun! he loves the site and what im doing! he has fun with it! and sometimes he brings up things that i wouldnt have!

I am blessed with a really great partner, and he really is helpful with reviews when I need him to participate. Many of my reviews are done alone, but harnesses, BDSM stuff, and some other items I use with/on him. For those reviews, he's more or less an expert after two and a half years! That helps a lot, because he can articulate his thoughts quickly and easily. So, I think the more you do it, the less of a hassle it can be. Instead of how he would initially stumble, now he can say something like "This had too much texture and it quickly desensitized me. Maybe if it applied less pressure, the texture would be more bearable." He can quickly explain what he liked or didn't like in a couple of minutes now, and I can expand on the more formal stuff in the review.

i feel like it makes so much more sense to have everything planned out and explained ahead of time. anyone i have test something for me, be it my fiance, my ex, my male friend, all know i have a duty to report. and they know by now exactly what i'm looking for and what to pay attention to while using the toy. i've got this shit handled.
