So? Maybe she just wants you to be able to enjoy yourself when she's not there?

#16: not an oxymoron; it's redundant. but nice try. [oxymoron: a figure of speech in which apparently contradictory terms appear in conjunction]

how are sex toys possible for guys?

You actually got a gift for your birthday, so quit whining..... Plus I've givin a vibrator as a gift to my girlfriend before, and she loved it. I really dont see anything wrong with this...

lol, #45. Anyone can have a sex toy nowadays.

#6, actually masturbation refers to pleasuring erogenous zones without use of mouth or other erogenous zone. For instance, if I were to give my boyfriend a handjob, I would be masturbating him. #45, you've got to be joking. OP, hell, she's giving you a gift to help you get off whenever, if she's not available or on her period or just really doesn't feel like it. Jeez, stop complaining. mas?tur?ba?tion??[mas-ter-bey-shuhn] –noun 1. the stimulation or manipulation of one's own genitals, esp. to ******; sexual self-gratification. 2. the stimulation, by manual or other means exclusive of coitus, of another's genitals, esp. to ******. dictionary.reference.com

At least she's okay with you masturbating ;)

I must say, it's funny that everyone bashed the OP for saying "self-masturbation" when it's not even redundant, just clarifying.

#41... Please. As if I'd limit her use of one, I just wouldn't buy one as it undermines the entire intention of intimacy. Giving sex toys as gifts in a relationship is just weird, simply because it makes no sense. Just because your relationship was "better" cause of it, doesn't mean you are sane/competent or a normal person. Some people actually detest masturbation, because it's biological sadism.

#51, biological sadism? No, it's a healthy sexual activity... What on Earth can you mean by that?
