Default who picks out the adult toy him or her

Over the years we have tried out a numbers of adult toys. Their has never been a problem with use of them only the purchase of said items. I as a male don't mind going to the store to shop, but she rather I do all the shopping. When the topic is brought up about replacing an item I get this responce "you know what I like" I hate this response. I would love her to say go get the blue thing that buzzes. So I do not know what she has an interest in ( toys). Although when they come out to play their is no objection and a very positive result.
So what do others do in the situation I have no idea that’s the reason for this thread and some advice for the next shopping trip

Try internet shopping together instead? At least to get ideas, if you don't do the online shopping thing...

I'm the woman. I buy them online. I'm scared to go to an adult store...I can't let go of my preconceived ideas about them.

I've had my husband look at the stuff online, but he doesn't seem to care too much what I get for us to try. He sees it as more for me, I think.

Online. We often discuss about the toys we are gonna buy. She likes pretty things, I like good quality stuff. I do the research and give her limited choices based on what I find best and what she might like. It is then up to her to make a final decision out of 3-5, as she is the one who will be using them/is getting them used on. Then I check how I can get them the cheapest and order. That way you are still "in charge" and she will have had her input.

I've had a similar problem with my wife choosing any kind of toys, but reading this thread had given me an idea that may work for the rest of you.

My wife and are the kind of people who will research a purchase by going onto Amazon or somewhere else, then find the physical item in a local store. If you're uncomfortable with how an item is shipped, maybe you could shop online, find some things that interest you, and then visit a local store and look around for yourself.

(We're lucky here, the adult stores around here are very well clean and well-cared for. Conservative, even. I was coming home last night a little before 11 and thought I'd pop into the local adult store, only to find that it closed at 10 during the week.)

Anyway, that might make it the best of both worlds: Get her more involved by looking at things at home, and that might make her more excited to find what she wants in person!

I'm just too shy to go into an actual store to buy Everyone knows me as sweet and innocent, so if they saw me there buying anything, I'd be horrified. If they only knew...

So I buy everything online.
BTW, edenfantasys.com is a good site to start with

Wife and I both go in the store. She really picks it out after asking what I have in mind.

So ladys what if you husband pick up a toy and brought it home.
When you laid eyes on it you said, Oh My God there is no way!
would you make him return it.
would you say i'll try it if you do
would you say I'll try anything once
would you say no way in Hell
are you sure you want to do this I'v wanted that for a long time baby!
I don't know if we are alowed to ask or say what kind of toy but I thing it would help me or other men if they had an idea what women really enjoyed. And like every thing else everybody has different taste and some women would'n even think of trying unless the heard if from another gal.
So what you say

There are always toy parties, if you're too shy to go into a store. Pure Romance, Passion Parties, Slumber Parties, etc. No men allowed. Invite a bunch of your friends over, a consultant will show you all the items available, play some party games, and when it comes time to order, you'll do it in the privacy of a different room, so your friends don't have to know what you bought. My wife's hosted or attended several, an always has a good time. In fact, she's about to become a consultant herself.

We both do. My wife attends the pure romance parties. I've bought online and in the adult stores.

So the party idea sounds good, but what are the age groups I can see younger women attending them. women in the 50 and 60 range well I don't see it?

Help me or other men if they had an idea what women really enjoyed. And like every thing else everybody has different taste and some women would'n even think of trying unless they heard if from another gal.
So what you say do older women still attend this type of party?

Return policies for adult toys are VERY stringent!!! Bought a couple of non-touch toys (games) over V-day - strict NO RETURN policy on all items in that store!

Still remember the first vibrator "we" bought - the guy behind the counter took it out of the package and put batteries in it for us! My wife made me go back in as soon as we got in the car and return it for one WITHOUT batteries - one that this guy hadn't touched!

Robotic arm maybe? But certainly not some dirty-old-man!!!



That was way back when all we had was the local "smut shop." Have a couple of fairly nice places in town now.

I'm sure they do. Would be better able to answer once the wife starts actively consulting here in a couple of weeks.

What I'd generally say, though, is that a given party's age group tends to hover within a handful of years on either side of the hostess' age, as the hostess will tend to invite her friends, and as people, we all - men and women - tend to form friendships within our own general age range. The hostess seeks out a consultant, generally through the company's web site, requests to book a party, and the consultant contacts her to arrange the date/time and any other details.
