Yaaaaaawn

Got _back_ on a bus earlier and trekked over to Erin's again, to see her sister's one last time before they leave the country again.  Then all the way back home (buses now thankfully fully functional).  The time in between was largely spent talking about the difference between sociopaths and psychopaths and which of us had the best piano teacher story (I won, but only by a hair).

Then I arrived home, realised that I hadn't packed the returns parcels for dabs.com (two power supplies and a Hauppage MVP, all dead), and mae three phone calls to Ed to find the various bits.

Oh, and allergies have been fine all evening, until Denver jumped on my lap and demanded to be stroked - nose now itches really badly.  Possibly this is a sign - and a damnably annoying one at that.

That seems to be all of my worries sorted, time for bed!

I'll leave you with two questions - one of which suddenly occurred to me mere moments ago:

Nobody, well, I say nobody, but I could be wrong on this, really needs an artificial cock either in order to reach orgasm. That's what ones fingers and ones clitoris are for. Granted it's a different thing/sensation, but still. If we're going strictly on the need basis, it doesn't quite wash.

There are some artificial vagina substitutes that don't reek of creepy. They are usually pretty utilitarian, much like vibrators. Then there are the life casts of porn stars.... Those are creepy because they actually ARE substitutes in that case, replacements for women that the owner cannot have. Maybe that's it.... They reduce women to vaginas, where as dildos and vibrators seem more distinct from men, are not merely the distilling of men into their representative genitals.

Maybe it is that men can understand an artificial penis, and think that's what women would want in the absence of 'the real thing' (when we all know that ain't so - for most at any rate). I think in reality they would possibly be more popular with gay blokes, but I don't really know. Particularly the really huge dildos you sometimes see - they scare me!

I think the artificial substitute market for both sexes is probably pretty small - I mean we come equipped with perfectly good hands, and though, as onceupon said above, it's a different thing, it'll do.

But that could just be me - I'm really not into props/appliances when it comes to sex. I dunno, maybe if you really need to reach the g-spot some equipment might come in handy, but I can usually find a volunteer :-)
