Posted: 8/17/2008 1:20:47 AM | There is something else I have been wondering about.
What do people think the role of sex is, when it seems sometimes a battery operated or fridge chilled substitute will do?
Is sex (for women at least) just about something between your legs?
I'm not taking the p*ss here. Its a serious question.
Is it about physical stimulation and orgasms?
Is it about a shared experience/intimacy?
Maybe about both of the above?
Here's what triggered the thought for this thread.
I read so many women (ok and men too) that talk about not feeling complete somehow without the boyfriend/husband (reverse that for you guys) and I was wondering if for some, getting or giving sex, is somehow about validating yourself as a woman (man in your case guys)
So, does a cucumber (when it isnt chilled any more) give you the same 'something' as sex does? Does a toy or vibrator supply the same 'whateveritis' need/desire which is the reason you have sex in the first place?
And if your confused by now, think about how bloomin confused I am at this end for even wanting to ask the question! 
What's your take on it all? | |

Posted: 8/17/2008 1:31:12 AM | What is sex? I had a cucumber today, but it was in a salad and all sliced up into thin 2mm slices.
What the hell is a vibrator? Is that something like one of those excercize machines?
If you can please answer these questions, I will add more.  | |

Posted: 8/17/2008 1:59:19 AM | I think a vibrator is one of those things that turns on in the electric train and the whole thing starts rattling, it rattles my fillings, is that the vibrator your refering to? lol
I was under the impression that sex doesn't really have any particular meaning, for example, sex can mean that you just need it or it can mean love or making up or realizing a fantasy, merging with someone and just feeling emotionally at one, it can mean getting back at someone, it can mean proving something to yourself or conquest or it can mean not feeling alone. Sex has all sorts of different meanings all through our life at different times so i guess it would be better to ask what did a particular sexual act mean to you rather then what does sex mean in general. i don't know just my thoughts. | |

Oh my goodness! If that is a vibrator, I don't want to have this thing called sex (what ever that is) with it.  | |

Posted: 8/17/2008 2:50:44 AM | toys etc give an escape , a release , but in the big picture , it doesnt come close to the feeling of shared emotion that comes from intimacy with a person of the opposite sex ( or same sex if thats how you play the game ). With toys , your in control of how it plays out , with a partner , there is that "unknown" fact that turns the tables.. are they going to speed up , slow down , change position , moan louder etc.
Yes , being intimate with a partner you love is pretty much the ultimate high , but if you dont have that , a good movie and a quick trip to the fridge can suffice!!! | |

Posted: 8/17/2008 3:06:02 AM | So why are there so many people on here (not just oz) into the whole TOY thing?
And even sex therapists telling people to use cucumbers?
Thats almost like, if your car isnt working, go change the tyre on your bicycle.
Or if you're hungry, go for a walk
If you're hot, paint the patio
If sex is seen as so much more than just...well ya know...why are sales of dildos so high?
Is there some perception in women that if you arent 'getting a bit' then you are somehow less worthy?
And guys who want women to play with toys? What the hell? 
Sure honey. The fridge is broken so I'll just fill it up with beer. That'll fix it.
Or is that one something to do with guys getting off on seeing women getting off?
And how the heck did I make it to almost 5o not knowing about all this stuff?
Or does everyone under 30 already know the answers to all these questions and this is the beginning of "In the old days" stories for me? | |

Posted: 8/17/2008 4:39:12 AM | Im sorry I dont understand the issue with 'toys'
If your single at home alone... and use a toy thats called masturbation. Unless we are still living in the 1800s then most ppl accept that masturbation is normal. I guess if a toy is involved maybe your arguing with your hand and it wont play that night. ha ha
Sex is sex.. its in and out!! Theres 'meat and three vegies' sex and then theres sex where ya put a few herbs on and maybe some chilli sauce Thats when the toys come out. Or maybe that SO has had a bad day, is all tuckered out, but still wants to have some special time. Maybe someone is on medication and its interferring with their mojo.
Well thats just MHO there are alot of times that 'toys' would be useful. | |

Posted: 8/17/2008 4:44:27 AM | There really is a very big difference between 'sex' and 'making love'.
'Making love' is that special bonding, togetherness, melding that happens with that very special person in your life. Eternal love, true happiness, blissful fullness, being complete.
Now 'sex' on the other hand is the basic animal driven lust bewteen two (or more in some cases) consenting adults. Adding vibrators or toys into the mix is just something different, that little bit extra. Bit like getting that new HD tv or surround sound system.
And, from what i have been told, guys enjoy playing with them too.
But it is an option for those who choose to take the option.
And BOB doesnt argue back or leave a mess around the house  | |

Posted: 8/17/2008 4:59:44 AM | yeah... I too think cucumbers are for eating .. however Ive been told...
That a cucumber wont get jealous if you get another cucumber from the fridge
A cucumber wont make you sleep on the wet spot
You can feel up a cucumber in the supermarket before taking it home
Cucumbers stay hard for a week
Cucumbers are easy to pick up
Cucumbers dont mind hiding in the fridge when your mother comes to visit

Posted: 8/17/2008 5:26:07 AM | Sex with a cucumber is purely for the release of sexual tension (unless you really do want to see it again and maybe strike up some kind of regular thing...but understand it won't be long term 'k?)
Sex with another human bean is for expression on all sorts of levels, as well as relieving sexual tension. It's by far the yummiest option but not the best if you don't want to see them again (best to stick to cucumbers then ). | |

Posted: 8/17/2008 5:58:17 AM | Is it just me or are there others out there who are still virgins when it comes to vegetables and vibrating machinery?
About the only anatomically interesting bit of food I can think of is the navel orange, except I keep trying to pick the lint out of it... Hang on, I forgot strawberries & cream.
I know Hollywood got some mileage out of American Pie but that was rediculous. The aussie version would have used a pie floater, but maybe the green stuff would have put some people off.
As for vibrating machinery I think it plausible that large throbbing motorcycles might be suggestive enough to heighten the pulse of some...
My take on sex? It's much better when you've earned it than when you ain't.
Pursue the soul, not just the hole... | |

Posted: 8/17/2008 6:15:29 AM | I feel a bit quzeey even looking at the thread title.......
Whatever happened to old values and privacy... and who invented all these gadgets??? was it because people got bored with each other and found fruit and vegetables and batteries more interesting???????..... 
No wonder people get bored and try to find new partners all the time. | |

Ummmmm, I think some farmer invented the cucumber
Actually no, the farmer didn't invent the cucumber, he simply grows them. I think he is in full belief that the cucumber is best for the salad. Chopped up in thin slices with a nice dressing on top.

God is the creator of the cucumber farmer is the grower and some people destroy the poor cucumber
This thread reminds me of an old joke maybe that's how some people came with the idea of using these things because they had no idea of how to use the real one.
(If you don't mind I won't go to all the details on purpose  )
A hillbilly goes to a bar and meets a woman after dating for a few months or so they decide to get married. Before his wedding night he approaches his friend and says " you know I have never slept with a woman, what should I do on my wedding night??" his friend says "well you get her undress and then yourself undress and ..........(he was to embarrass to tell him so openly what to do next…so he shows a phone) and says … put it in her ", so the hillbilly groom at his wedding night follows his friend’s instructions right to the end and puts the phone in his new bride.... | |

That joke reminds me of the banana joke also. Which I might add, bananas are very good for you when mashed up in a banana smoothy. | |

Posted: 8/17/2008 7:37:47 AM | this is my take. If you are a sexual person and you need it but are not involved in a relationship then masturbation is okay. it keeps you from getting diseases and such because you arent sleeping with everything that comes down the line.
Now that being said. Some of us don't enjoy sex at all. even in a relationship. we just have it to keep those we are with happy. For me personally I don't enjoy sex. its the number one thing on my top list of 100 things not to do. And with my girlfriend I find every excuse I can to pardon the expression Get out of it.
I rank it up there with root canals and taking out the trash or changing the oil in your car. You don't wanna do it but you know it has to be done so you do it.
so now to answer the question, its good for those of you who need sex to have an outlet to have an orgasm. and what ever you use as long as not illegal or immoral is fine.
That gets those of us who hate sex off the hook,
now that being said, I do have one fantasy. lets jsut say it involves a woman, a banana and my mouth. | |

Posted: 8/17/2008 4:59:13 PM | The humble cucumber has even been mentioned in the Dead Sea Scrolls and popularised in The Bible (unauthorised version) in what has now become known by scholars as The Genesis Limericks:
http://forums.plentyoffish.com/datingPosts2622792.aspx
In the Garden of Eden lay Adam
Complacently stroking his madam
And loud was his mirth
For on all of the earth
There were only two balls -- and he had 'em!
However...
In the garden of Eden fumed Eve
Again satisfaction she failed to achieve
But while Adam did slumber
She swapped apple for cucumber
And at last her poor self did relieve

Posted: 8/18/2008 12:14:00 AM | is it about physical stimulation and orgasms? Yes
is it about shared experience and intimacy? Yes
toys etc give an escape , a release , but in the big picture , it does`nt come close to the feeling of shared emotion that comes from intimacy with a person of the opposite sex ( or same sex if thats how you play the game toys etc quoted message
With toys , your in control of how it plays out , with a partner , there is that "unknown" fact that turns the tables.. are they going to speed up , slow down , change position , moan louder etc.
If you are home alone, and need the loss of control, which actually builds up as sexual tension, using the toys as you remember the feelings you shared with your partner, playmate, whoever it was, sometimes makes all the difference to to your sexual frustration, and helps you *get off* the release of that tension..part quote
the orgasm, both male and female ejaculation...(yes I meant female ejaculation too)
those women who experience it ( are in the 100s, maybe thousands and don`t often talk about it, but their stimulations maybe be higher and longer than most..
I think a lot of the reasons people use vibrators and dildo`s etc.... is because they themselves do` nt have the urges that their partners do....a lot of people also *get off* on tthe lead up to the sexual playtime... they need that stimulation to get to the climax.
its the long haul lead up that gets them to their most exciting peak.. where they are so stimulated that they have a really enormous climax... they need it. Some of course can be stimulated with a small amount, a little at a time, and can hold off on it, until they can no longer stop it.. But I think most of the men who only need a little stimulation, do use the toys so that their partners, the women in their lives, who take a longer time to reach an enormous climax, get the same effect . they do!
I used to help market those products, mostly to the younger yuppies, but the older adult women, were the most curious about how to use them. and you must admit, if you were in a shop that sold them would you ask the guy behind the counter how to use them or demonstrate them to you. If ever you are able to, girls mainly, if your knowledge of them is small or non existent, try to get to a party and learn the common lessons about the use of them... they were made mainly by men, who being away from the stimulation of seeing females every day, at working away jobs etc...or in male dominated work places. who need the sexual stimulation to get off. why do you think if you find a magazine with scantily clad women in, some of the pages are stuck together,,,,,even if you never buy the products, learn to use the tools . properly, dont just laugh about them, or giggle embarrassingly... find out. there are various sites on the net which tell you all you need to know, and I don`t mean just adultshop... their are british sites too
ITs the STIMULATION, that makes the difference, touch, feel, massage.
Women sometimes use the stimulation they get from having their hair done by the hairdressers, to get off on... the sensitive parts of your body are not confined to the sexual parts....
