To toy or not to toy?

Contributor: Airekah Airekah
So, I have been wondering... I am sure that we all still engage in sexual intimacy with our partners, but since using EF, do any of you ever just keep it old fashioned when masturbating and use your hand/fingers for stimulation? How do you make the decision on what you are in the mood for?

I never use fingers/hands (very rarely) but it's not because I have toys, I just prefer that and always have.

I am a stay at home mom and I have limited time. I use my fingers a lot when I need to be quick, or if I'm just too tired to get out my toys. If I am feeling up to it, I will take out some toys while my son is napping, but his naps have been getting shorter and shorter. I used to have a good two hours or more to play, but now I am lucky to get an hour. While that is plenty of time to get it done, I just find myself wanting to spend this precious time to myself doing other things, like reading in the seldom quiet of a house with a two year old. Still, sometimes I just need more than my fingers can give and for those times I have several strong bullets or vibes to choose from that will do the job quickly and quietly. I would say I use my toys about half the time.

Depends on how serious of a session I want to make it. Also, I live with roommates and have to go through the kitchen to the bathroom in order to clean my toys afterwards, which sometimes just feels like too much of a hassle if I want to get the job done quickly.

It really depends on what I'm in the mood for and how much time I have. When I have less time, I just use my hands, but when I have more time or want to treat myself, I use my toys.

I have to use toys, my hands don't do it for me. My body isn't sensitive enough or anything to do manual stimulation, that's why I never got my first orgasm until 21, when i got a bullet vibe.

I don't have a TON of toys but my favorites are my Fleshlight Vibro and my Tenga Fliphole. Ever since getting them I still use the old fashioned hand half the time. The other half is split between the fleshlight and the fliphole.

Jes is the same way, she's about 50/50 with her toys.

I've only actually finished with my hands twice in my life. Before I had toys I really didn't bother masturbating because it was too much work. I still finger myself sometimes, but as far as clit stimulation goes I always use a vibrator. It's so much easier and faster.

I definitely use toys more often now, but not always; sometimes both.

I never use my hands or fingers. I had tried for a while to climax manually and this led me to believe my lady bits were broken. I was 22 when I had my first orgasm, thanks to powerful things that go vroom. Some time after, I was curious to see if I could use my fingers after knowing 'how' to orgasm and it took forever and was very much lacking in intensity. So not worth it; I'll stick to my toys.

I almost always use my toys. Before I'd ever had any sexual partners, I always used my fingers, and it would take forever, but it was AWESOME. But for some reason, feeling pressured or something maybe, I can not orgasm using my hands if anyone is around. And now, I've become a bit spoiled and don't usually want to work really hard, so I use vibrators when I'm alone, too. The most powerful orgasms I've ever had were with my hands, though. I kind of miss it.

I like them both. I do enjoy something in my rectum. It isn't a necessity, but rather just a pleasure.

I use toys nearly all the time, I'm definitely becoming spoiled and use anal toys almost always now (I need more I tell you, MORE!). I rarely go completely toyless, even if it's just something like supple nipps on my nipples and mr lefty masturbating and mr righty tweaking the nips

Just started getting into toys and now I'm like a kid in a candy store.

I usually start with fingers, and end with toys. It's weird how I went from not needing vaginal stimulation and needing clitoral, to not being able to orgasm without vaginal.

I'm not going to use plain fingers when I have a cabinet full of delicious toys just begging to come out and play.

I always use my hands, and most of the time toys as well. Clitoral vibration does nothing for me and I much prefer my own fingers there, but I do really like toys for penetration. I can get by using my fingers for penetration if I have to, but it's not as effective just because of the size factor.

I mostly only use my toys. But I have a gorgeous glass dildo that I love, and when I use that I'll use my fingers to stimulate my clit. Usually it's 100% toys though - for me they're much faster. lol

We don't use toys every time we have sex. We only use them sometimes. If we did it all the time, it wouldn't be something "different" to spice things up, lol.

I always use toys. My hands are rougher than my bf's. I work with my hands everyday leaving them covered in calluses, blisters and cuts. Manual masturbation for me feels like I'm getting felt up by a lumberjack!

Most of the time its just me and my hand. I break out the dildo every week or two. I need lube, total nudity, not to mention privacy, because I can't do it with my roommate in the house. I'm too vocal for that. All that rigamaroll that I need to go through for anal play makes it happen less than super often. Also because my ass doesn't tell me when it wants attention as much as my penis does, I just don't have the desire for anal play nearly as much.

Sometimes my toys can't do things I want them to. Sometimes I feel lazy. Both get used the same amount, really.

I enjoy my toys, but I still need to use my fingers to finish myself off.

I sometimes use fingers with toys. Overall fingers can make me feel bruised with the amount of stim I need and the orgasms are lesser, so I don't really go for pure-hand orgasms.
