Oprah Magazine sends frustrated women to Babeland to find a vibrator! In O Magazine's relationship advice column, a woman writes in inquiring about being bored in bed. She ponders calling an ex for a booty call and then muses that maybe she should try self-satisfaction instead. I'm all for booty calls, provided they don't get too messy emotionally. But here's the thing about self-satisfaction: it will never drunk dial you at three in the morning. Unlike your relationship with your ex, your vibrator doesn't have any baggage.Cindy Chupack, advice columnist for O Magazine suggests this (on page 2):

As you suspected, Linda, there is one person who can always satisfy your urges: Your Old-Fashioned Self. This is not a last resort; it's essential. It's like having your own car?you never have to rely on others to get you where you want to go.If you need guidance or an upgrade, babeland.com has a simple, no-nonsense "How to Choose a Vibrator" page. And if you got embarrassed reading that just now (it's okay, I got embarrassed typing it), you owe it to yourself to peruse, choose, and fall in love (guilt-free!) with any product that tickles your fancy. There may be times in a girl's life when it's better to be boyless, but there's no need to be joyless. Or toyless.

Yay Cindy! Thank you for sending people to Babeland. I love our vibrator guides and other shopping advice. When you can't come into the store yourself to touch the toys and talk to the Sex Educators, then the online toy guides are the next best thing.
