Word on the street is that diamonds better start watching their back. For so long they dominated the headlines as a girl’s undisputed best friend … but now … well, let’s just say there’s some new competition that’s pining for the attention of single black women. And what would that competition be? Why, sex toys of course.
Now, seeing as though I’m not a single black woman, I wouldn’t dare try to speak on their behalf when it comes to this subject. But I did take the time to speak to women around the country to get their input on the subject. Here’s what I asked, followed by their very interesting responses. Enjoy.
The Question: Do you use sex toys? If so, do you prefer them over having sex with a man?
The Answers
“I like using my toys. I’m single, and I try not to get frustrated by the lack of good men out there. In the meantime while I wait on my prince, a woman has needs. As long as I have my batteries, I’ll be fine until the right man comes along.”
**Lauren, Atlanta
“I don’t think women should be embarrassed by using sex toys. I have a high sex drive, so instead of just sleeping with a lot of random men, I go for what’s safe. I think it’s a much better alternative to what’s out here.”
**Ebony, Chicago
“I love using a sex toy because I am very in tune with my body. If it’s a toy or my hand then I know how to please myself. With that being said, I also know how I want a man to touch me. Toys are cool, but there are certain things that a toy just can’t do!!!”
**Candace, New York
“I love it because the satisfaction is guaranteed. With a man, you just never know what you’re going to get. Sometimes it can be great, but then other times, you wish you never wasted your time with the dude. Sometimes, I’d rather go for the sure thing.”
** Maya, Los Angeles
“I don’t use them, but a lot of my friends do. They say that they can’t live without them, because they give them a better orgasm than men do.”
**Jessica, New York
“I like sex toys, but I like using them with my partner. If there are things that can help our pleasure be increased, then I think that’s a good thing.”
**Erica, Atlanta
“I think that sex toys are needed because they help women to learn their bodies. Most women don’t know how to make themselves reach an orgasm, and the toys help them figure that out.”
**Essence, Dallas
So what’s your take on this great debate? Are sex toys officially the new best friend of single black women? Or are the toys a friend that these women would rather do without if given a better alternative. Let me know. –dewayne rogers
