Vibrators and The Modern Male

My friend, Anita, conducted an unscientific poll among her male co-workers. She asked if they had any objections to their girlfriend or wife using a vibrator. The responses ranged from the caveman ("No. Not even if I'm on a business trip") to mild disapproval ("Well, only if I were there to use it on her.") The conclusion she drew from this experiment was that men do not want their women experiencing sexual satisfaction unless they are involved in the process.

I found this to be an interesting hypothesis and encouraged her to test it on my boyfriend when he came to town. While we were all out to dinner, she posed the question again. My boyfriend is fairly open-minded so I was not surprised when he responded that he had no problems with me using a vibrator. A few weeks later, he sings a slightly different tune.

I get a call on my cell phone from the boyfriend as I am on my way to a Bath Junkie party. Because he's a guy, I knew he had no clue what a Bath Junkie party was and I really didn't take the time to explain it to him. When I talk to him again later in the week he mentions that he was worried that the party I went to was a sex toy party. I asked if he didn't want me going to sex toy parties. He admitted that he would rather I go with him the first time I purchase a vibrator. I stifle a chuckle at the idea of him proving my friend, Anita, right, at least in part.

This whole thing has been very fascinating and has inspired me to conduct my own little survey, so here goes. Men (ladies feel free to offer your opinions too): Would it bother you if your woman used a vibrator? If so, what is it about the idea that does not sit well with you?
