I'm interested to see the effects. I feel like descensitization is likely a very real thing as a result of too much, you know... self pleasuring.

I absolutely believe that's a thing. I did hear that getting away from porn and not masturbating for a while is good to kind of "reset" things both mentally and physically, as some people have found that their tastes get more exotic with more exposure to porn.

I guess I really do just have a particularly filthy mind though :\

I agree with you two. Not even talking about porn specifically, but there's so much of a good thing, and then there's too much. It can desentize one. I was in a relationship once where I preferred to "tango solo" over actually, you know..engage...that was pretty bad and I think a result of indulging too much.

God this is a weird conversation though, I'm refraining from more detail because I don't want my hubski to get too weird.

The reason that that Seinfeld episode works so well and is literally, in my opinion a masterpiece is because they never actually use the "word." I was hoping we could have this contest without getting too graphic, without sharing too much but simply with the rules I posted.

That way, it will not get "weird."

I'm confused, are you or aren't you participating? Anyone that reads this, if you want to participate use the share button as the indication. Commenting in this thread does not indicate participation

I have refrained from sharing as I'm not committing yet. I am, however, commiserating with you guys about how it's a good idea to sometimes take a break from that activity. I'm just not sure if it's an idea I "need" to partake in. I literally just bought myself some fun accessories after the break-up 3 weeks ago. And you want me to give them up!?! :)

Just out of curiosity, do those generally come with a warranty or some kind of return policy?

_refugee_  ·  3846 days ago  ·  link  ·  

I generally buy mine online through Amazon, and Amazon appears to have a universal return policy. I just checked and I could return it (if I wanted). I would hope that they would not resell it. However I have heard a horror story about someone ordering an accessory online, getting it, and being able to tell that it was used. As for a warranty, I can't recall and I think I've disposed of the box and any warranty that would have come with it. It probably depends on the item. The Hitachi Magic Wand which is pretty high end, expensive, nice, etc comes with a 1 year warranty. It probably depends on the maker and vendor and such.

Ah, such is life . . .
