The thing is not designed to be a sex toy, though. I mean, it's become THE vibrator I realize, but it really was designed as something you use to massage your back. So maybe the thrift store people were just super innocent.

there is some difference of opinion out there on whether such vibrating things were ever completely naive
― mh, Monday, 7 May 2012 20:30 (twelve years ago) link
MW until recently marketed solely as a back or neck massager, at least officially. Amazon reviews for these are interesting, apparently about 1/3 of buyers bought it for back pain and were unaware of any alternate use.

Right, I guess what I mean is that it's not 'designed' per se to be a sex toy - not dishwasher safe, not boilable. Definitely shouldn't be shared. You have to plug the dumb thing in, and it's as loud as fuck. On the whole, it's not that great.
― homosexual II, Monday, 7 May 2012 21:08 (twelve years ago) link
but not as loud as the DeWalt orbital power sander, which is the best sex toy ever invented. (if you attach soft spongy things to the velcro rather than sandpaper of course)

There are several cordless orbital power sanders on the market, which have lots of largely unexplored possibilities. The magic is in the orbital head movement - it doesn't just vibrate back and forth, but side to side in random directions, different every time, which is why they make great..... back massagers. Noisy ones, though.
― Lee593 (Lee626), Monday, 7 May 2012 21:59 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, I refinished a wood floor with one of those but I don't know that you're going to find anything to put on it that is going to, uh, soften the abrasive effect enough for more personal purposes
― mh, Monday, 7 May 2012 22:11 (twelve years ago) link
Thick sponges or soft, strategically-shaped silicone molds work well. The larger ones suitable for floor sanding wouldn't work well, but small ones with 3 inch circular heads would suffice. I've seen small triangular heads on these too ("corner sanders") which would be ideal, but not sure if they were orbital which is U&K.

I mean, I guess that is how it must work but in thinking about it I can see how it might be "difficult to keep on (in?) for the person who's "wearing" them" as someone up thread said at least if things really got, you know, going.

Also I am totally O_O at the idea of a power sander sex toy. The MW is almost too powerful. I can't even imagine what a vibe fashioned out of a power sander would like. That's pretty horrifying tbh.

> Wait I am confused by the Feeldoe. Does the lady put the bulbous part in her vag and then the dick sticks out?
Yes, although the angle looks all wrong to me. According to their website, about 80% are purchased by heterosexual couples. Now I'm really confused.
A former roommate (female) saw me using my orbital sander to smooth a drywall joint and had to "try" it herself. She had never seen one, and I had never heard of one being used for anything other than sanding until then. Although an orbital car polisher used to wax and shine your car is essentially the same tool with a soft terry cloth cover instead of sandpaper - I think the tool manufacturers realized they can sell two tools instead of one by selling the latter in auto-parts stores instead of hardware stores. Evidently there's a third potential sales channel they haven't yet discovered....
xp - no way i'd put my junk in that thing. Scary.

Orbital power sanders BTW don't move very much - although powerful, the power goes towards torque (so it won't slow down if lots of pressure is applied), not movement. It only vibrates about 1/8" in any direction.

now we know who is ordering that 50 gallon barrel of lube off amazon, I guess
so my tmi story is this.
When I was a younger mh (early 20s) I used to have a number of (pitchers of) beers with an ex and we'd go back to her place and it'd be cool and she would fall asleep. During the act. My dignity was slightly bruised by this and I inquired what was up and she said that it was -- and I quote -- "So relaxing". I get that in a letter-off-tension way, but during the actual act idk if it's the sort of relaxing you want to fall asleep to. After some questioning, I found out she used to fall asleep with her vibrator stuck against her, sometimes until the batteries died. After that, I felt perfectly adequate because I really don't know how she could have had any feeling left at all.

Can we...not...refer to sex toy use as making people unfeeling or whatever? It's kind of a played out nasty little slur about women, so demanding, so impossible for humans to satisfy, they've done it to themselves so why even try anymore, etc. Not that that's you, mh, it just makes me feel kind of gross and sad.
Also I have fallen asleep during oral many many years ago. It *was* relaxing!

ime women who are anorgasmic or unable to really get into penetrative m/f intercourse are pretty normal, it's just one of the many ways that we all are different and sometimes special
fwiw dudes who can't get off get the third degree and weird stereotypes just as much.
