Because I’m all about bringing you quality entertainment, and ok, I admit, because I wanted to know too. And since I’m certainly no sex-toy expert, I asked her for some recommendations for my dear readers. If you’ve read my book, The Break-Up Diet: A Memoir, you’ll remember my friend, Tawny, in the chapter titled Sex Toys R Us where I told the story of her “Lingerie Party” (translation: Wacky Dildo Party)-well, Tawny’s been a horizontal wild woman for years. And who doesn’t enjoy browsing the porn movie section just to read the titles? I shot cranberry juice through my nose when I saw “Strap-On: A Love Story.” Yes, I’m still sophomoric enough to find things like that funny. The new technology in sex toys is amazing. I can giggle and shop from home at sites like Adam & Eve that have everything you can imagine and things I couldn’t imagine. So I can’t tell you how much I love the internet. I still have a blush-faced, hide-behind-my-sunglasses feeling about buying sex toys in public. Woo-hoo! Nap. I didn’t get out of bed for 24 hours. So, being young, financially-challenged, and skeptical, we chose two of the $3, hard-plastic, Ford Pinto of vibrators-the same kind you find in those random-junk white trash catalogues with the ad model using it on her neck. We giggled like schoolgirls and hid behind our sunglasses, standing in front of a wall of vibrators-something neither of us had ever used, knew nothing about, and weren’t even sure they would “work” for us (separately, not a girl-girl thing together). They actually had shopping baskets people pushed through the aisles, loading up their carts like they were buying BBQ supplies for a party. It was like one big Walmart, but with dildos, blow-up sheep, and ball gags. Years ago, a coworker and I went on a single-girl field trip to a huge sex toy shop in Los Angeles. There is only so long a girl can go before she decides to take matters into her own hands.

Taking Matters Into Your Own Hands Jat 7:00 pm | Posted in Sex | 1 Comment It brings up the question: Is it better to have loved and lost? Or never to have loved at all? Yes, the procedure would completely wipe out all of the good memories, erasing 10 years of life and love, but if the memories were gone, the crippling pain of a broken heart would be gone too. I’d sign on the dotted line in a heartbeat. Too bad there isn’t a real-life option to do it. They decided to erase the memories of each other. There was a movie I saw once, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, where the couple chose to do exactly that: forget. Moving on would be so much easier if there were a way to forget everything: the look in his eyes when watched me from across the room, the sound of his voice when he said my name, the feel of his heartbeat against my cheek, the taste of his lips, and every moment we spent together in a world where no one else existed. At least that’s what I keep reminding myself. It’s going to take time to rebuild your life and picture your future without the man you thought you’d share it with. When you’ve given so much of your heart and soul in a relationship and it ends, getting over it isn’t easy.
