I Wanted a Vibrator, Not an Extra Penis

I’ve come to the conclusion that too many vibrators are designed by people who see them as some sort of penis replacement.  Even vibrators meant for external use are often willy-shaped.  This seems fairly daft; there are few vibrating penises in the world, so why apply that model to so many sex toys? Here are my top 6 [because top 5s are so over] other shapes of vibrating sexual implement… 1. The Ring Vibrating cock rings are one of my favourite really simple sex toys – they’re easy to use, they add a bit of extra buzz to the sex you’re [...]
