Today I’ve been consciously smiling at strangers all day: walking, driving, at the barn, from the front porch.
Every single time, the stranger has smiled back, whether male, female, old, young, child. Sometimes they looked pleasantly surprised and other times they just smiled.
I love days like this. Also, I got to say things all day like “Oh, yeah, tonight, I’m hanging out with the butt plug people” and “Yup, gonna get together with the sex machines.” Because if all goes according to plan, I’m going to have drinks this evening with nJoy founders Greg and Chris (who are *pure fun*), the Monkey Rocker folks, writer and sex educator Jenn Ramsey from Adult Novelty Business magazine — all people much cooler than I am, so I shall bask in the neato-ness and enjoy some tequila since I have no articles due tomorrow morning.
Let’s just not mention Monday, okay?
Beautiful:

See the problem with things like that are that they are shiny (in the “oh shiny toy” sense) but you can’t really put them out on general display.
As an example, you can pull an iphone out of your pocket on the train and people will go oooh, try the same thing with those and well, the response probably won’t be as welcoming :-/

Says who? I have my Atraw Ceramics dildo on a shelf in my dining room. No one ever says anything.

Haha, fine, i guess i know more conservative people than you do
Or of course everyone is embarassed/subconciously avoiding noticing it.
Personally, i would just be stunned at the amount it probably cost

I find the similarity of those things to tow hitches somewhat disturbing.

I’ve found smiling works well. I used to keep track of what words worked best when wishing a passing stranger well: I found that “Howdy!” had the best response, far better than “Hello” or “Hi.” I think “Hello” and “Hi” make it sound like you might be selling something, or asking for directions, whereas “Howdy” just clearly says, “Hope your day is going well!”

Oh, I agree about “Howdy”, Flipper.
I’ve been using it for a few years now, started using it mostly online, just for those reasons…it says so much with so little
Now, I use it a lot, online, offline, everywhere and it always gets me a smile and a pleasant response
And I’d *love* to see peoples faces if I followed that up with Regina’s “butt plug people” line :p
lol

If it’s a beautiful shape, and you put it on display, only the most perverted people will look at it and start thinking of the lascivious uses for it…
And it’s a good thing to identify those people quickly anyways. I say put one of the chrome things on your coffee table and see who asks.

My first thought was “what the hell are they?” If they weren’t on this page, I would never have thought sex toys, and if it weren’t for the text, I never would have figured they were butt plugs.

I’m PROUD to say that I had the pleasure of being in the company of the above mentioned super cool people, Jenn of AVN Novelty News, Greg & Chris from njoy, and Dan & Jan of Monkey Rocker, not to mention sex blog goddess herself, Regina Lynn. Ah, yes, smiling seemed to be the theme of that day as we drank margaritas & enjoyed sexy conversations. Nice “plug” for njoy… yes, pun intended! But their Pure Wand is pure HEAVEN, every gal should have one, price is NO object when you are rewarded with such intense (& wet) orgasms!
Loved hanging with you Regina, can’t wait to see you again!
