Dr Eve | What is your sex toy choice? | Dr Eve Blog | About

I am curious to know what motivates you to buy a sex toy. And more importantly I am keen to know what kind of sex toys appeal to you. See this as in informal sex toy survey - I will design a more formal one later in the year.

For now I would so welcome you e mailing me your story about sex toy purchasing. I teach by the principle of my students/health care professionals taking responsibility for their own learning. In other words I walk into a lecture room with a number of slides reflecting the content of the syllabus. Its presumptuous in a way as it contains information that I or rather , the department deems necessary for this level of student.

However the students have their own agenda- they have their own curiosities about sexual medicine and until those can be met, they will not be open to learn content from the syllabus. So I listen to their questions and in this way I get to know where my teaching needs to happen.

I tell you this story as I am using this same principle in inviting you to write me your sex toy needs. I source and buy sex toys that I think you will just love. I base my purchases on international trends ensuring you have access to world class toys, toys that are the present rage. I also am a woman, a sensualist , so I buy toys according to the look, feel, smell, sound and of course effectiveness of the toy. Sometimes I erroneously buy toys because they are so "gorgeous"! I try listen to you and ensure there are toys for a wide age and stage range, for women who love women, men who love men, and people who want to have some kinky fun too.

We analyse the buying trends in the shop and of course we know what are best selling toys. But your buying habits can be pretty random too- for example, 1 week we will sell more anal toys than any other type of toy and suddenly we won't have a butt plug move off its bum, into your shopping basket, for a month.

I invite you to tell me : what are you looking for in a sex toy? what really matters to you? colour? brand name? Purpose?

I cannot do a formal survey now as I am in the middle of preparing research for presentations I am making in June / July at 3 international conferences. Right now i n the middle of researching HIV/AIDS/STI's this idea of your sex toys popped into my head- so Im putting it out there. Help please Hope you are having a sexier evening than I am- remember "raincoats" (condoms) as you find shelter in a warm and fuzzy place
