What came first, the sex toy or the sex?

I'm always curious to know how people came to incorporate sex toys into their lives. How did you find your first toy? Have toys influenced your perspective on sex with a partner?

It only happened a year and a half ago, but it's actually hard to remember! I know I had sex for the first time and got my first toy very close together, and I'm pretty sure I got the toy a few days after I had sex, but had already ordered it before I had sex.

I began having sex at 17, didn't purchase a sex toy until I was in my 30's...although I did some improvising with household items in my late 20's.

My boyfriend (and only male sexual partner) bought me my first vibrator. I suggested it jokingly but it was mostly his idea. He likes to watch me masturbate so that was a step-up. Now I'm the sex toy expert of the two of us and I've been looking into toys for both of us. It's made our sex life a lot more interesting.

The sex came first, but an ex suggested trying out toys. I didn't really start doing anything with toys until my husband and I got together and bought a few and started experimenting together.

I had sex first but found out what sex toys were and asked my partner if we could take a trip to the local sex shop. We bought my first toy together and introduced it into our playtime after I was comfortable with it.

Discovered sex toys in middle school or high school. Never leave your teens alone at night with a computer in their room

I've been watching porn since I was 11 but it didn't occur to me to use a sex toy until ten years later! Of course buying things online wasn't as easy or common back then, who knows what I'd be doing if I were a kid discovering sex toys now.

I had already had sex, but I got into toys on my own.
