These are outside my experience - am I the only one? I have been watching a TV show which I love (Frankie & Grace Netflix) where the main characters develop a vibrator for older women with arthritic hands. It got me thinking am I the odd one out? I have never even tried one for no particular reason just haven't.

I have had several over the years but prefer the real thing. No batteries to change, cleans itself and doesn't usually scare the plumber!

Hubby had a prostrate op fifteen years ago
not cancer, assured our sex life would not be affected. However viagra never worked for him, so after a few years I bought one. Never regretted it.

My sisters DiL stayed at their house with their toddler daughter.

Hearing the little girl playing in the bedroom my sister popped in to find the child playing aeroplanes complete with aeroplane noises with her ' rabbit' !!

I can imagine her horror !

An online website called Etsy has been advertising Oak Galls which are something to do with wasps breeding in trees and the resulting growth is called an oak gall. They have been recommended for tightening up the vagina and Drs are warning this is dangerous as
a )the vagina doesn't need any help
b) it can cause all sorts of problems with natural secretions

Etsy have stopped advertising although other retailers are still selling them.

My, now retired, colleague "won" a vibrator at an Ann Summers party some years ago. She was a very keen gardener and had a greenhouse with a lot of very expensive and delicate plants that only required minimal watering. So she hooked up the vibrator to an inverted plastic drinks bottle filled with water; pierced a small hole in the end of the bottle and then switched the vibrator on. Result was that several plants received a light shower of droplets of water for as long as the battery on the vibrator held out. Pity it was bright pink, otherwise you'd never have noticed it!

I once had to phone a pupil's mother and ask her to come and collect her daughter's 'pencil case'!! It was months before that poor mother could bring herself to come to open evenings again.

when I had problems with my libido my doctor recommended a vibrator and some erotic literature ,still have the vibrator somewhere a dozen years later ,I suppose I should throw it out as the rubber will likely have perished

Wonderful thing and I have a very capable husband too, put the two together and happy days! Anyway the spin dryer doesn't fit in my bedside drawer.

Slightly off topic but does anyone else remember a film called Uncle Buck with the lovely John Candy trying to load a washing machine using misunderstood words with the neighbour listening.

A little dolphin...perfect...every woman should have one...hahaha

Theoddbird Sat 03-Jun-17 10:11:02

Oh no! another thing I have missed out on (I've never had "safe" sex either!)

My godson who is a confirmed Batchelor and very prudish hosted a party at his house. I walked into the very small kitchen to see my seventy five year old sister-in-law had one of the neighbours pinned up against the back door telling her all the merits of the rampant rabbit poor woman looked like a rabbit herself caught in the headlights. I left the kitchen quickly chuckling all the way. He would have been mortified had he known he said "that's quite enough of that" when some one said boob at the dining table, worst still he's only 40.
