I've Been Reviewing Sex Toys for Nearly 2 Decades. These Are What I Recommend

Sex toys were pretty basic back then. Most were phallic in shape-even if they weren't necessarily meant to be used internally-made of mystery materials, and required actual batteries. The first sex toy I reviewed was a bullet vibrator that not only needed batteries, but its remote control was connected to the toy by a cord that was probably no more than 10 inches in length. Stockpiling AA and AAA batteries to keep my vibrators working was just as annoying as it sounds.
