Callers often ask if we use sex toys when we masturbate. Most women do, at least from time to time. Personally, I find you go through phases. For a while you might be really into using just your fingers, then you will get the urge to feel that certain toy and what it can do to you, then you might put it away for many months before you go back to it. You can get cravings for certain types of orgasms the same way you can crave certain types of foods. Men can be the same, while most do use their hands to masturbate, some use toys, or hump their pillows, or any number of different ways they may utilize to give themselves an orgasm.
One thing this job teaches you, is there’s no one way to pleasure yourself. There’s many different ways depending on your mood or circumstance. Fleshlight’s are the most popular toy that gets mentioned. More than one have mentioned they are a bit heavy and can cause wrist fatigue. I mentioned this to another man and he laughed, he’s got a job on an assembly line and holds a heavy drill all day, so he couldn’t believe some men complain about the weight of a little sex toy, but for ones with a desk job where the heaviest thing they move al day is perhaps a file folder with a few papers in it or a pen, they notice the weight.
More than one caller has mentioned carpel tunnel syndrome they have gotten from their jobs and how it’s affected their masturbation style. You wouldn’t think of that, but yes, it can affect doing that, and most would never mention that to their doctor out of embarrassment. Some have had to learn ways to do hands free masturbation techniques due to that or a sprained wrist, broken arm, there’s all kinds of things that can happen to affect your preferred style of giving yourself an orgasm.
