Yes, yes, we all know that Valentine's Day is right around the corner.� Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of Valentine's Day -- it's one of the only times of year when nearly everyone's focused on pleasure and getting off.� But I think it's time to reframe V-Day a little bit, and look at it as a time when ALL of us, not just the coupled/married ones, can take some much-needed time to zero in on our own pleasure.� Am I right or am I right?� So here's a list of some of my favorite masturbation toys, all geared toward helping you make the very most of your alone time.Hitachi Magic Wand -- this one's a classic for good reason.� I've blogged here about the Magic Wand before, so I won't go on and on about it, but know this: I've had mine for twelve years, and not once has it failed to get me off promptly, eagerly, and with no post-orgasm processing at all.� Win!Mystic Wand -- This is a new one, created for all those Magic Wand-lovers who want something a little more portable and compact.� From everything I've heard, it's the best of both worlds.� This one might be my next purchase.Ina -- Everyone's abuzz (sorry) about this one.� Silky silicone, dual action, awesome thrumming vibration; if you go for simultaneous clit and G-spot action, grab this one now.Jimmyjane Form 2 -- Sure, it's super-powerful, with dual motors and excellent design and craftsmanship;� I expect nothing less from Jimmyjane at this point.� But the part that really excites me, as I am the queen of leaving rechargeable items plugged in overnight and wearing them out thusly, is that you can't overcharge this one!� It's impossible!� Love it.Orchid G -- I've given this one as a gift to single friends more times than I can count.� In combination with the Smart Girl's Guide to the G-spot, it's a perfect companion for anyone seeking G-spot exploration or just a good old-fashioned powerful, affordable clit vibe.Pop Plugs -- Yes, the butt:� sadly overlooked when it comes to masturbation.� So many people think of anal play as something they're doing for a partner, not for themselves.� But with these graduated plugs, you can pick a size (and some lube) and start to explore butt fun on your own.� You'll either like it or you won't, but you never know until you try, right?More masturbation ideas here.� And how about you -- what are your favorite masturbation toys?
