Anyone used remote control vibrators? After reading a whole lot of reviews I got the Lovense Lush for my partner but it seems that all vibrators of these type suffer from bluetooth connectivity issues.

I couldn't find any with a simple remote control that weren't loud as gently caress or of an awkward shape, anyone got experience with these?

I'm interested in this as well! My partner has expressed interest in one of these and this model looks perfect.

On the website it says internet is best, can you just use that instead of Bluetooth all the time?

You have to pair the device with your phone first then you can give another person access to it via the app, that's where the internet connectivity comes in (I think).

It should have come with a dongle, are you using that?
Alternatively
Have you tried turning them off and on again?

I just ordered it yesterday but the Lush has a tail that hangs out for improved connectivity. I picked it for that reason along with the fact that Lovense is pretty good about honoring their warranty and updating the companion app frequently. I've just been looking at reviews/feedback and it seems to be a common complaint.

On a sidenote, I didn't realise that toy control is an actual thing with a decent sized community behind it.

Apparently internet or BTLE-controlled vibrators have pretty bad security vulnerabilities, at least according to the talk at the security conference I was just at. "Internet of Dongs - A Long Way to a Vibrant Future"

Reminds me of a case where for some reason a dildo with a camera on it used bits of drone control code and the security was hilariously awful. If someone wanted to they could easily push firmware onto the dildo to loving automatically send the videos to a Skype account because it was leftover drone code

This is actually one of the reasons I went with Lovense. From what I found they've been very responsive when it comes to fixing vulnerabilities/issues in their app and release regular updates (last one including a nice feature update). Sadly they don't appear to have a way to push updates to the device.

If someone does hijack it we'll just enjoy the results ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.


Edit: I would however be cautious about We-Vibe.

So uhh, does anyone have experience with a loss of sensation in the vagina? Ive recently (over the last month or so) experienced a huge drop in libido and a chronic lack of sensation. I tested it with masturbation and the methods I used before that always got me a response whether I was in the mood or not just weren’t working. I’m worried it’s gonna end up having an effect on my partner, since he always tries to get me to orgasm during sex, and it’s affecting me too. Been drinking more water and trying to improve my diet (I’ve put on a couple of pounds), hoping it has a positive effect!

I'm tired of hearing about money, money, money, money, money. I just want to play the game, drink Pepsi, wear Reebok.
Greeting and salutations,

Dear Internet; apologies in advance for my English and any unintended vulgarity; as I am foreign.

A close friend who I have known since childhood was the first of everyone to start getting her period and she grew her boobs BIG before anyone else even got started on theirs, which we all respected a lot and made us look up to her as somewhat of a fountain of knowledge on matters relating to adulthood, which has remained true into our adult lives where she is still considered the knowledgeable one in all such matters, and well-deserved, too, in my opinion, but I suspect that she may be trying to get at me with something. I love my friend dearly, but she is not above playing tricks!

I have recently become engaged to be married; no need to congratulate, but I am very happy of it :wooper: My friend says unto me; that even if it is a wife and husband and they are trying to make a baby; that they may find themselves in a situation where the husband may see the butt hole of the wife. :stare: Apologies if this is too crass; but it is the crux of the matter. My friend then places herself in the sex-position that I know of through general cultural osmosis; the most famous one, I think; probably everyone here knows of it already; the one where the woman is lying sort of like a crab or a frog and the man is forward-facing, and she points to herself and says; "this is where the pussy is" and I know she is correct and nod politely, but I was somewhat taken aback, because although she was wearing clothes and simply doing a demonstration for my benefit, I thought it was improper of her to say exactly where the pussy was, despite both of us knowing fulll well, and before I know of it, my friend then says "and this is where the butt hole is", which I did not have time to think about; I just agreed, but in hindsight she could have been off by a little bit; enough for it to be important, I feel, but I was blindsided and agreed without thinking it over.

With no warning my friend spins around and shows unto me what she claims is a different sex position that people use and asks me where I think that the pussy is now? Things are moving quickly and I point towards an area which she seems to accept as accurate enough and she then follows up instantly by asking me where I think the butt hole is now? To be honest she had me on the ropes even before she spun around. I know from dancing that girls and women can spin around and be spun around easily; it is great fun, but guys, boys and men are more forward-facing, is my impression. Boys and girls are not too different at younger ages, I think, but the differences happen later in life when men lose mobility because they turn very blocky in structure, like LEGO minifigs, so they can't turn around easily even if they want. You can tell this when some of them try to dance outside of dancing lessons, where a lot of them stand still and bop their heads. You may think they are standing still and bopping their heads because they are carrying a drink and do not want to spill it and would perhaps dance very well if they were to put down their drink and spin around more freely, but the fact of the matter is that men are blocky and generally face in one direction at a time only, whereas girls retain the ability to spin and be spun around throughout life as women. My point is that I suppose it is plausible that women may spin or be spun in other situations than dancing, and perhaps in certain intimate circumstance, this makes the butt hole visible to a husband who is facing forwards, even if not intended or needed in order to create a life.

Sorry for the lack of direct questions; just trying to work some things out. Generaly speaking, it seems sad in a way that men are so blocky, but it also feels somewhat unreasonable how the pussy and the butt hole are placed if women are intended to spin and be spun; it seems like it might be more aesthetically pleasing and more structurally sound if there was more spacing.

re : opening up couple from last page, this might be more E/N but I'm going through this at the moment with my girlfriend and would like to know if others went through something similar.

It's actually kind of weird, we've been together almost 6 years now and she developed a crush for some guy last year. It gave her massive anxiety for a couple months and she recently decided to tell me, she thought I would be mad at her but I'm actually glad she told me. For me monogamy was always a compromise but I never dared talk to her about that stuff and I was happy with our relationship, although the feeling of "missing out" gave me on and off anxiety over the years. She didn't feel like that 6 years ago but as we're getting older, it started to weigh down on her also.

It's been a week since we had our talk and it's been a huge weight off both of our shoulders. Not sure what our official status is (open/non-monogamous/poly/whatever) as nothing happened yet except we never had so much sex, it's been quite a massive turn-on for the both of us. I guess that honeymoon will taper down eventually. She actually has a date with the guy tomorrow and I'm fine with whatever happens, it's a bit of a weird feeling but it's just weird, not terrible.

We're also maybe bi? We're not sure but both definitely down with same-sex experimentation. Anyway this might crash horribly or be awesome, but it's pretty weird going through so many changes so fast.

Keep up the honesty and the regular communication. Stop what you're doing in terms of relationship changes/navigation if anything feels bad for either of you. Talk things through, commit to checking in with each other regularly, and take things slowly.

Don't be ashamed to reverse any agreements or situations that end up causing discomfort or worry - nothing has to be a permanent change and what feels ok now might not in a day or a month or a year and that is absolutely fine!

You chase that bliss. Poly always just strikes me as the relationship version of shopping at whole foods, like your life is so devoid of bullshit and problems that you can afford to turn simple everyday things like food and sex into bespoke, innovative bullshit and problems to make your life a little harder. Like you can't just buy an onion, you have to get a free trade vegan organic onion that's $17.50 because I don't have poo poo other complications to worry about. I can't just get horny and gently caress, you gotta work out time frames and juggle schedules and feel compersion and poo poo. Apparently it works for some people, so good luck on being one of them, because when it fails it seems to fail catastrophically

Thanks for the good wishes, we love each other but the feeling was getting strong enough that I'm not sure we could have kept it up anyway. An overarching theme of all this is we'd rather be free-er and happy than feel lovely and together, which is where we were quickly heading.

Anyway girlfriend has her date tonight, I'm ready for whatever happens.

What's your problem, dude? People generally are poly to SOLVE a problem of being unhappy with monogamy, not because they lack problems. Yeah it's more complicated than monogamy, but that's not the point of it like you seem to think.

Colonel J
Jan 3, 2008
Anyway we're still quite a step back from full-on "poly", it's mostly about physical exclusivity. If one of us wants another boy/girlfriend we'll have to talk a lot more, but I do think the idea is appealing. I read quite a bit on the topic talked with a few friends and I'm always very surprised at how much people want full exclusivity, to me it always felt... controlling? I realize I'm the odd one here.

edit: really not looking to disparage commited monogamous people here. It seems much simpler than the alternative. I'm just coming to terms with the fact it doesn't seem the right way for me.

edit 2 : Gf's date cancelled due to events in the other guy's personal life. goddamn what a false start.

tbf in this thread, we post positively, and healthily about our sex lives, so that we can learn more about it, and because we're comfortable talking about sex.

R/Relationships is where you go to find the absolute loving worst of the world, because it's extremely stupid people getting taken advantage of in 7/10 posts, with the rest being a mix of funny, sad, and unnecessary.

If you spend all day reading about polyamorous relationships failing, because you read the internet's cheaper and worse version of" Ask Lisa," you're going to think they suck and can't work.

If you spend all day talking about sex, you're going to find people who are cool with polyamory, because that's kind of what having an open mind and a healthy thought process about sex eventually leads too, it's going to come up eventually, and you have to decide what you want.
