Ladies/gals - First dildo/vibrator?

Inquiring minds want to know…When did you get your first dildo/vibrator/other toy? Did you buy it yourself or was it gifted? Who or what “inspired” you?

I had just turned about 17/18 and I was dating an older man. He found out I had never had an orgasm and decided to change that so he bought me a few toys. I didn't use them even though he encouraged it. So one night he tied me up and put on the vibrating nipple clamps and gave me oral with a vibrating butt plug in for awhile. It felt amazing but then he stuck a rabbit vibrator in me when I wasn't expecting it and the result was my first real orgasm. That was a long story but I feel all 3 we'r my first sex toys because they were all used together.

I bought my first vibrator in the 70's, back than it was just a plain simple straight white plastic stick, not much with fancy stuff, although some came with attachments.

(I am a trans woman, and I was still in the male body back than, but used it analy, which has always been my pleasure part)

I was in my late teens, not sure if I had graduated high school yet. I know that I was still living at my parents house. I went to the local naughty shop and pretended I was buying a bachelorette party gift. I selected a silver bullet with a cord that took 2 AA batteries and had several different attachment for the vagina and one for the ass that looked like an enema nozzle, which is why I selected it. The anal attachment was the only one I ever used, and for the first time ever I got really good orgasms with the bullet vibrator. I bought and burned through many of those bullet vibrators over the years.

It was college. In Peoria Illinois. There was an adult store called the Brown Bag store. It's still on Adam's street under a different name. Smoked glass doors two to go through and NO windows. Had to have an ID to get in. The store cleric was a bit odd, aren't they all, but we managed to find a few things.

Got my first male looking dildo and vibrates and my first silver bullet. And bought a collar for the shit of it.

Later in the day we hit a Spencer's in the mall and holy shit they had more stuff which was affordable.

And yes I've burned up a couple of bullets and vibraters in my day. 1998 I believe.

I remember seeing the 1st womans sex toy...from the very early years...they looked like you could start a kenworth truck with it.

Hello, my first boyfriend gave me a dildo when I was 13. Well, what can I say? The guy is gone, but the dildo is still there. ;-)

I had just turned 18, was living in a dorm at the time so all privacy to myself 😉 Buying toys was partly why I couldn't wait to be 18, but at the same time, I think I could've walked in there at 17 or a couple months before my birthday and nobody would have batted an eye.

Went into a random sex shop of the city I was in, I remember the guy there was oldish with a long beard and glasses. The typical sex shop owner. I was a bit uneasy to be in there, especially with a guy behind the counter, so I rapidly had a look around and chose a simple pink bullet vibrator. He looked at me with surprise and said, "wow, you've made your choice fast!".

I kept that vibe for 5 years before it died. Costed me maybe 10 euros. I might have bought lube or bought it in an usual store after, I don't know. Had a number of orgasms in that dorm room too thanks to that little pink thing, and it was found by my mom while cleaning my room once when I came back to live with her. Good times.

My first toy of this sort was actually a small purple vibrating buttplug off of Amazon. We have a strap on we use during sex but for masturbation I actually prefer my fingers for penetration, but I do enjoy certain types of vibrators and clamps.

I do have one of those dildos that you can stick to like a wall or mirror that is primarily for my mouth for some spicy humiliation play.

The old school hard plastic ‘personal massager’ one with the twist bottom. Bought my first in 1978 maybe?

I made my first out of wood beads I stole from the craft room and a stick. BEHHHH I used that thing up my arse like an addiction. Until I tore myself with it and my narc girl friend presented me and my groady love stick to the nurse. It was removed from my possession, eek, withdrawal from bum fun so cruel. I had to have the raging, reeking infection treated. No joy. Until one day, a soft pink, bumpy anal vibrator showed up on my bed. Very happy perv girl. BUZZZZ, OHHHHH, Joy.

I was kind of a horny teenager. I was always playing online with older guys. lol One of the guys purchased my first vibrator for me. It was a rabbit vibe. I was around 15 or 16 at the time. Up until that point, I had utilized things around my room. Hairbrush handles, electric toothbrush, large sharpies, etc.

It’s interesting how human sexuality is just instinctive.

When I entered my early teens, growing up in a religious cult, I found my mother’s “neck massager” in a closet.

Don’t ask me how I knew it would produce orgasms, or what orgasms were. That memory escapes me.

All I knew, was when I turned on this clunky vibrator, with the motor on top of my hand, my whole hand would vibrate.

I would put my vibrating finger on my clit and I would have orgasm after orgasm. Probably 50 at a time. This was my activity when I was home alone.

One of the joys of puberty. Endless orgasms.

Still remember this. It was over 40 years ago that I went into a now closed mall which had a Spencer’s where I bought a Personal Body Massager. Well OK. It was shaped like a bullet to which it meant it probably had other purposes to which I quickly found out. 😱😱. Don’t know if mom ever found it but if she did she never said nothing.

Mine was gifted to me around 16 years old maybe?

It was one from a Pure Romance party that someone bought for me as a surprise.

I, like @Assme in the comments, used one of those heating back massagers when I was younger before I had traditional toys. Though I will say, that massager was phenomenal 😂

As a young teen there was no way I risked my mother finding a real toy in my bedroom. Not sure I even considered it. But I did eventually try a round tip pen and a candle and then my hairbrush handle. The hairbrush was what I used most because it was always in my bedroom or bathroom and it was plastic so I could clean it quickly.

@GraceT I've seen the term "pervertible" used about objects whose intended use is non-sexual but may be converted to sexual use - and indeed, one advantage is that their presence in a bedroom or suitcase can be attributed to perfectly innocuous reasons!
