I have 2 vibes I actually like, I might search out one or two more different types (a vibrating butt plug and a targeted clitoral vibe), but dildos I can never get enough of. Oh, and I want to see what all the hype with the Hitachi is all about if I ever get the chance.

I'm not sure what you're asking here - why collect and use different ones? That's like asking a gun collector the same question. They all shoot, right? S/he'll give you different points around them.

Then there's the body of your post, concerning justifying the purchasing or not-purchasing toys. Do what's okay with you - use your EF points to supplement your orders, or join the review program and get them for free so you can write about how they work.

There are no limits to pleasure or the imagination here, only what you personally impose on yourself.

Even if I have a few "go to" toys, I will often look at others that have a different feature, so I can try new things. I try not to get duplicates, though.

I like to cover my basics and then window shop until need arrises.

Right now I have clit and internal vibes covered, however, none of them are waterproof )= so I'd be willing to spend money on something new if it filled that gap for me.

After that I'd probably wait until I fell into a heap of cash to spoil myself with or was given a gift card or new toy directly.

I guess I keep wanting to try others because I just enjoy variety, and most of my vibrators feel different to me than the others. It's kind of like when I started drinking water instead of sodas. At first, all water tasted the same. But now I can taste subtle differences in all the brands, and I want different ones at different times. It's like that.

Not to mention the fact that many of our vibrators give me different kinds of orgasms. For example, we just got a really inexpensive clit toy off of Eden that takes a long time to get me "built up" to the big O, but literally gives me orgasms that last 20-30 seconds long when it finally happens (either that or it's giving me multiples in a row and I just haven't realized it!). I've not had any other vibrator do that before, so now I'm curious to see if there is a vibe out there that can make one last even longer. It sounds weird, I know

I have thousands of dollars invested in toys and porn. I continue to buy more for a few reasons. One, because I have a shopping issue. I also have thousands of dollars of eyeshadow. (About 200 last count) Mostly I continue to buy because each toy will give a slightly different experience. Some may give an orgasam with a slow build up that's more intense, some may make me cum in five seconds. It's fun to get new things and try them out with my husband. It keeps things from getting stale when there's always something new coming in to try. Like an ooo let's see what this one can do feeling. It's just another excuse to explore the boundaries of our sexuality. After being with someone for a while you have to find ways to make sure you don't get in a rut and sex toys have been our way to do that.

Instead of using so much money, save up for the toy you really want. Wait for sales. Do the review program. SAVE POINTS. I know we save our points to get the items we really want when the money isn't there to buy them.

Secondly, We have many different toys because we don't like everything the same all the time. Do I have ones I go back to? Yes of course. I just see it as something to keep us moving into a positive direction instead of going stale and boring.

Plain and simple I'm a toy hoader and I want to feel them all!

I have my set that I like a lot, but I like to change up which one I use when, depending on my mood. I also get excited for the new releases from the companies I like--Fun Factory's G4 really has me intrigued, and every time Lelo brings out a new thing, I squeal. XD

Really, though, I just wonder how different shapes, strengths, and sizes would feel. I get curious and want to try for myself.

I have 'slots' that I want to fill. There are different experiences, and I want a toy to suit each desire. So I have a Hitachi for the times when I really need to get off, and I'm looking for a silicone-lube-compatib le STRONG rechargeable clit vibrator (eying the tango) for use during sex. I want a vibrator that is good for getting aroused, particularly one that doesn't have issues with overheating, but can still finish the job.

I personally wouldn't buy 17 rabbits or 20 g-spot dildos or all of the egg vibrators carried on Eden. I find something that works well for me, and then I don't feel the need to continue looking for toys that are similar.

The exception for me is BDSM gear. That's the one thing that will make me go glassy-eyed and make impulse purchases. I'm struggling to not get the Metal Worx locking cock-ring, even though I know the lock actually makes it easier to get off and that metal cock rings don't work for us. It's just such a hot idea.

I always want to try new things! There are so many options...different materials, shapes, sizes, types of vibrations, I can't resist.

I love variety and trying new things. The next toy I try might replace a good one and make it an ok one.It is the curse of the unknown pleasure!

For me, no two vibes actually feel the same, and my mood so dictates what vibe I will use.
I have been orgasmicly surprised by some vibes so the quest is worth it. But I am careful as to the toys I buy as my finances are tight; sales, points and reviews are all a means. Reading reviews also helps.

My boyfriend asks the same question. Just because I'm happy with what I own doesn't mean there won't be something I would like way more. I also like to have different shapes, sizes, and vibration styles. I see reviewing as a hobby, so I constantly like to try new things and review them, for my own interest, and to help other people find things that will work for them.

Most have already expressed good reasons - but even it's a little repetitive;

We've learned a lot by trying new things - it's a process and new concepts are constantly being put out there by very creative companies. Had we settled on our original successes - we would have missed out on a lot of fun.

More importantly the same toy rarely works 2x in a row for my wife. No idea why, but the variety is fun for both of us.

Thanks to everyone for not judging me, etc. for asking. I certainly wasn't being critical.

I guess maybe I understand sorta. We just got our order yesterday and here I am turning around today and placing another order (I'd received $30 in a gift card for 3 articles that will be published next week plus I had $16 in points).

We decided to keep the 2" diameter vibrator we received yesterday - but decided we needed a 1 3/4" or 1 5/8" vibrator to help me work up to it.

Hence...the purchase. We got the Roulette Croupier (something like that) - I thought about the red one that Gunsmoke reviewed but we decided that the Croupier would work better for me - PLUS - we both LOVED the video review.

Then I realized - I could've gotten the Girdle I've been wanting by the same folks who did Opis....it would've been the same width.

Oh well...

Gosh.... I have easily $1000.00 worth the toys & keep adding..
Why you ask?!?!

There is ALWAYS something Diff from what I have even if it's a diff in just the vibration or a 1/4 in thickness. I like to have LOTS of toys, I'm a sex addict & without my toys I may kill my hubby lol, his poor dick would fall off !!

I try to get something a little different every time - different feel, different shape, larger, smaller, more power, more functions, etc. And I try to get materials that will either last my lifetime (silicone, glass) or at least a few years with proper care (TPR, TPR silicone, plastic) so that I'm not replacing a good toy every six months to a year.

Sometimes, though, I'll admit that it's just fun to order, wait for, and receive a package. I try to be good and not order too often, though. It's getting easier now that I've got a sizable collection of toys I really like.
