An unexpected outcome resulted from my Girls Gone Wild post; I discovered that every woman on earth, except for my wife, not only owns a vibrator but is exceptionally well versed in the kaleidoscope of brands, designs and options available in today’s vibrator market.
Considering the wonderful response to the post, I considered dedicating my entire blog to all-things-vibrator complete with: product reviews, testimonials, instructional videos, focus groups reports, and even a vibrator-a-day give-a-way.
But then I thought, what does that have to do with being a Dad? What intelligent high ground is a blog like that treading on? And how much content can one really generate for such a specialized subject?
So then I thought, maybe a weekly feature….like a Thursday Afternoon Vibrator Report. But that just seemed too noncommittal to me. If your going to specialize in vibrators, do it all the way or don’t do it at all.
Ultimately I decided that since we don’t even engage in vibratory activity in my house; I really have no business posing as some Monday morning vibrator sommelier. It’s time to step aside and leave vibrators to the experts.
The good news: I will be seeing all three ladies from Girls Night Out at a kiddy birthday party on Saturday. And if the fruit punch is flowing, I might just work up the courage to do some additional reconnaissance. Who knows, maybe a brand new vibrator related post might arise, or maybe even something a little juicier. Stay tuned and keep your fingers crossed.

My friend Jen keeps a vibrator in her glove compartment for when she’s stuck in traffic.

I’m a little sad the Thursday afternoon Vibrator Report is a no go. It would have given you a great excuse to introduce them to Chez McDad. Product reviews and all.
Kevin,
You’re friend is a brilliant woman! But how do I describe what that is when the kids go rummaging through the glove box looking for god knows what?
See Mitch, a topic for discussion on the report…
I really think there’s a niche.

Vibrators hidden in places you don’t think your kids will find them have been around for a long time. Rent the movie Parenthood. I just don’t see that birthday party chit-chat going well at all. By all means, go for the gambit, but expect MRS to lose some friends.

So much of this is lost in our house. We obviously are vibrator free. But it is interesting to read about.
However, I’m guesssing this has increased your Google hits on stat counter. I can hardly wait to see what your ‘key word search’ bring up this next week.

Reviews are good. Vibrator reviews by a man without the proper, er, equipment? Not so good. Actually, it has me afraid and wanting to scratch my eyes out due to the awful mental imagery.

I don’t own a vibrator. I’ll admit that. However, I have often thought about writing a report of some kind. Now I leave it to you.
Incidentally, I read another post by someone else a while back that was on the topic of “what to do when your 3 year old son finds Dad’s playboys?” This would be a great tie-in.

“I will be seeing all three ladies from Girls Night Out at a kiddy birthday party on Saturday. And if the fruit punch is flowing, I might just work up the courage to do some addition reconnaissance.”
Oh yeah… good luck getting them to divulge information to you. (Except perhaps for the ones that actually voted for you in the “hottie hubby” vote.)

I am new to the vibrator scene BUT now I don’t know how I went so long without one. Wowzas.

Vibrator sommelier….snort!

I know how it would work out for me. I’d buy my wife a sext new vibrator and she’d get all excited… and make me start massaging her neck with it. Yee-hah!

You almost got me to tell you about my wife’s vibrator with the two remote controls and the multiple speeds. I’m glad I have couth enough to not share such personal information.

Hey Mitch, nice to discover that there’s another favorite topic on your blog (I read your vasectomy posts with interest because me and my significant other have been discussing the subject lately – now I’m not so sure anymore if I want him to undergo that procedure). The vibrator story is really funny – you and your Mrs should go shopping for one together on a good day, you’ll probably collapse laughing in the store. I quite enjoy the one I got the day with my man, the only thing that really bothers me is the noise. Since there are so many vibrator specialists around – is there anyone who knows if there’s a muffler for it?

Make it two — your wife and me. Should we feel left tout?

Ya know, I’m thinking it’s time you might seriously consider investing in that happy toy. She just might thank you for it! That Thursday report – you might be onto something
Posted by Johnny on December 8, 2007 at 2:59 am
Let me just say… The MRS. really should consider investing.
Oh Damn, I sound like a freak here now.. LOL
I mean, vibrator? My wife has a few, I mean NONE !!!!
