OHHHHHHHHH CANADA! A recent survey shows that 39% of Canadians, both male and female, report already owning a vibrator. The ownership rate throughout the rest of the world is 27%. Discuss.
  • I'm sorry. Could you explain again what this post is all about?
  • So little else to do up there.
  • *peers northward longingly*
  • this post, scartol, it vibrates
  • Clearly, there is a substantial demand for these products in Canada. that's my favorite part.
  • Not that there's nothing else to do, but no one else to do - think of all the people living in remote villages, or small communities where you know or are related to everyone, or just bloody Toronto where everyone's a wanker. /kidding
  • c-can'tcommentrightnow
  • I dunno. They look like they'd hurt quite a bit.
  • bwhaaaaaa! especially that gyrowhip. yikes.
  • Icelanders are most likely to use vibrators (52%), followed by those in Norway (50%) and the UK (49%) any icelandic monkeys out there?
  • oh lord that northern vibrator page is funny...
  • Creates "point of entry" Ow ow ow ouch ow.
  • Why is this image the most troubling to me?
  • Words fail me.
  • From the site: "They require no lubrication -- install it, and forget it." Industrial strength I can see. Maybe even no lubrication. But forget it? I'd think that'd be pretty hard. And what would be the point?
  • *sniff* No one got my South Park reference..
  • I'm sure it has nothing to do with this town!
  • i like how the gyrowhip "eliminates hang-ups" this can be "easily accomplished by only 2 men" BTW, where's moneyjane?
  • OK, the first person to point me to a representative picture of what a male vibrator is wins a nervous chuckle and an uncomfortable glance. PS: I thought news stories were supposed to end with "# # #"!
  • Those aren't vibrators the Canucks are using. They're "regular" dildos that are merely shivering due to the colder climate.
  • I don't like regular dildos. I prefer mine decaffeinated. With a twist.
  • Here's a how-to guide for male vibrators (and vibratees) of a hundred years ago - see the treatment for "enlarged prostate."
  • Also, Historical Dildo Days, as celebrated by proud Dildoans
  • More history. I'll go back to work now.
  • All Canadians get a free vibrator with their citizenship. I use mine to cut a hole through the ice, when fishing during the winter time.
  • OK, the first person to point me to a representative picture of what a male vibrator is wins a nervous chuckle and an uncomfortable glance. That's easy. And NSFW.
  • Is it just me, or is the handle a little oddly shaped for a razor?
  • "When these products are out in display in your bathroom, you want it to look nice, feel good in your hands or go over contours better. " Mm-mmm, yeah baby!
  • This is really great, but seriously misinterpreted! Allow me to explain. Canucks like beer..they, in fact like it a lot but they hate flat beer. A vibrator in a flat beer gives head. That is all you non-Canadians and beings from other planets need to know.
  • Do I have a complete misunderstanding of this statistic, or is this saying that 39% of Canadian men have vibrators? Because, honestly, I find that hard to believe.
  • No, it says 39% of all Canadians have vibrators. So, it might be something like 65% of Canadian women have vibrators, while only 13% of Canadian men do; that still adds up to a total of 39% of the overall population owning vibrators.
  • a total of 39% of the overall population owning vibrators I find the vibrator difficult to use with overalls.
  • vibrators and accordions. who would have thunk it. you canandians are a mysterious lot.
  • Har - get them all lined up in one place and toss 'em into the sea! Sploosh! Then there'd be bellows of a different kind, I tells ya, b'y!
  • Yo, Canada! canadians! endlessly fascinating!
  • Prehensile noses Gotta like that in a Canadian!
  • Similar to how a woman can masturbate with a vibrator by stimulating her clitoris (no insertion), a male can masturbate with a vibrator by stimulating the most sensitive areas of his penis.
  • Do they also count non-phallic types of vibrators? Like those little glove types? fish tick: I'd think overalls would be the ultimate discreet outfit to be using a vibrator in! Provided they're baggy enough.
  • Canada is sexier than America. Canadians are Sexier than Americans. Smarter, too. But crazier and more .. unpreidisosdmsospable.
  • Plus we have prehensile noses.
  • Ah, thanks Alnedra. I found myself succumbing to peer pressure. Whew! (my ass is safe... but for how long...)
  • a male can masturbate with a vibrator by stimulating the most sensitive areas of his penis Good lord! Do they make ones that reach all the way to the pons?
  • Pons?! Pons? *confused*
  • All the way past your prehensile nose, yes. And when this part is stimulated in a man, he goes "Eyyyy!" (or in Canadian: "Eh?"), mugs for the camera, and makes a two-thumbs-up gesture. Hence its alternate name, pons asinorum.
  • It must be something in the water, 'cause I discovered that my X#2 had one of these pocket pussies stashed. His didn't even look that good. Just rubber and batteries. It was yech to me. But mine was OK in my opinion. Guess it was because he hid it. /go figure.
  • /\ || NSFW!! That is *not* the sort of object I want to discover at the back of a closet while spring cleaning.
  • Pocket Pussy
  • dxlifer - I know what you mean about hiding stuff increasing the yech factor. I had X troubles with covert creepy stuff, too. But of course the hiding no doubt increases the attraction of the yech-object. *shudder*
  • OOps, I thought the name would show it as it was, so to speak. It was quite a gruesome find, as well as a lot of other bizarre things that lead to his status as history. He was more fun when I was younger and kinkier.
  • Interestingly, it seems that sexual exploration increases with age. Ownership jumps to 51% among Canadians 25-34, and tops out at 61% among respondents aged 44-55. For many of us, that would be Mum and Dad. Eeeeeeeeeenteresting. *cough* Clearly, there is a substantial demand for these products in Canada. To meet this demand, Durex(R) has launched a new line of personal massagers under the brand name Play(TM). These massagers are now available in London Drugs stores across British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, marking the first time that personal massagers have been available in mainstream retail drug stores. You'll never be bored in Saskatchewan again!
  • Hmmm- try telling Koko that! (Probby Manitoba's far less wild and crazy than Sask.)
  • MonkeyFilter: we have prehensile noses. A vibrator in a flat beer gives head. Fry, is there a reason this sentence was worded in that way?
  • (Probby Manitoba's far less wild and crazy than Sask.) Dominant/submissive Society of Manitoba MsDs_Winnipeg Prairie Caller (hosting the Black and Blue Ball) Tortured Youth ("youth" = 18-30 year olds) I see that "Spankings Winnipeg" is now defunct. Winnipeg has a huge alternative lifestyle underground -- so much so that it's barely underground -- for a city of its size. Music, sexuality, politics, drugs. Used to be a fetish club in the Peg called "The Crypt" where the dress code was minimial/naked or $100. It was interesting, to be sure, but servers were also dominatrixes, and it was impossible to keep from getting tangled in their whips...
  • Well, no wonder Koko is absent from this thread! She's tied up in Winterpeg.
  • Master says I'm not allowed to comment, or I'll get the hot wax again. Ooops I did it! I have seen evidence of the BDSM & GLBT communities here, but having spent 5 years in SF and attending the Folsom Street and Dore Alley fairs on several occasions, it barely registers on my radar (or if you will, gaydar). Then again, I don't get out much.
  • I love the fact that all of the freaks and pervs are coming out (er, so to speak) in this thread. JOIN ME, MY PEOPLE!
  • Of course, I only went to those fairs to point and laught at people like the-bone.
  • As long as it was 'the' and not 'his' bone... *shivver*
  • Here are the massagers at LD. The website says they are an online only item so some investigating is required.
