Why did you buy your first sex toy?

Contributor: AngelvMaynard AngelvMaynard
I've seen the questions about what was your first toy and when, but I want to know what or why was the reason you decided to buy your first sex toy.

Curiosity combined with mild sexual frustration - I'm lucky enough to have never had trouble achieving orgasm, but I never had a whole lot of fun with masturbation. It was all "rub for a bit, orgasm, move on to the next thing," if you get me. My first vibe helped with that somewhat, but it wasn't until I came to Eden and tried more things that I started really finding what I liked.

(Funny: between obtaining that first vibrator and discovering Eden, I actually had a number of dreams about getting more sex toys. I think I subconsciously knew I was on the right path, but needed to keep trying new kinds of toys.)

I started desiring a vibe when I was seventeen or eighteen, so there might have also been something of a desire to have an "adult" interest. It's been a while, though, so I can't be sure if that went through my head at a conscious level at any time.

Heehee, wish I could have felt that at the time. The dreams (mostly about shopping for toys, really) were cool, but always made me really bummed that I didn't have more and couldn't draw up the courage to shop for them. Now that my collection is so much bigger, I think I'd wake up feeling less like, "Aw, man..." and more like, "... PLAYTIME!" Haven't really had one of those dreams in a while, though.

My boyfriend at the time couldn't sexually satisfy me, so he bought me a toy to compensate for it.

We bought our first sex toy about 25-27 years ago - forget exactly how long it was.

I hated it. It was a beige plastic vibrator with a very pointy tip. I forget the length and dimensions but will say it was hard and very uncomfortable and we tossed it after a few tries.

We bought it because we had friends who swore that vibrators were just "awesome" and one of the best things they'd ever done for their marriage.

From that experience - we avoided sex toys for years and years and only started buying them a few weeks ago. I'm so glad for all the changes in designs, materials, etc.

My girlfriend at the time loved to masturbate, and I loved to watch her, so I thought it was a great idea to get her whatever she wanted. I was 18 and I thought it was so cool that she would do this with me. Sex was one thing, but no one had been this comfortable with me to do this.

I wanted to give my lover a show, he wanted to watch me masturbate, I'd never been able to get myself off before... Hence, toys.

I wanted one for a while, I can remember wanting one for years. I really liked vibrations, I can't actually ever remember being able to orgasm without vibrations of some sort. I was alwaysss thinking of really discreet things I could use without anyone knowing. I almost asked my mom to buy one for me once but I chickened out, even though she offered me a vibrator a couple years earlier around the time sex and what not came up and I knew she would be OK with it. I ended up ordering one online at a store with a sex toys and general groceries, like a drugstore, and after saving up, and all the saving went towards adding other junk so when my mom asked me what came in the mail, I could show her everything BUT the vibrator That was a couple years ago, a month before my 18th birthday. Anyways, I think I decided to buy it because I was fed up with not having an actual vibrator, just makeshift ones! I'm really glad I did though, vibrators are lovely

I wanted to know what it was like to have something inside of me, really. So I thought to myself, heck. Why not. Went to the local sex shop, asked for advice, got me a vibe, good lube and a pack of batteries. \o/

I'd been meaning to get one for a while as I like something inserted when masturbating & household objects weren't terribly safe or satisfying.

I'd looked around several times & discussed toys with a couple friends, but just kept being overwhelmed by the choices. My sex drive comes & goes, so I'd forget about it until the next time I got to feeling horny. And I orgasm fine with my fingers so it was never something urgent.

But I've been single for a good long time & recently I had a few days when it really did feel kind of urgent! So, I went ahead & ordered a couple. Soon found out there's a lot to learn & a lot of experimentation to get it right, but that's kinda fun too.

My husband bought me my first one because I had mentioned that I'd never tried one. This was probably 10 years ago. I've been in love with them ever since

Wow. Just about everything in this post, minus the dreams thing.

I masturbated, but it was never super-duber fun. I wanted something more interesting, and I had been considering getting one for years, but I was too . . . chicken.

i wanted a real vibrator instead of using a hand held vibrating massager (that wasn't intended for sexual use).

I had gotten my first credit card. I was exposed to the wonders and joys of online shopping. I was feeling adventurous and lonely and the discreet shipping appealed to me.

It was a Tantus Acute, and it was fantastic!

I bought my first toy when I was 24, as a toy shop opened up within sight of my porch. I walked in there, and spent quite a bit of money... Those were the first toys I ever bought, but I had been given quite a few before that.

Mostly curiosity.

But also because I don't orgasm easily, and toys help a bunch :]
