Here are all the toys, I said to him when first we arrived in the bedroom. I’d made an especial effort the day before to relocate every last one of them to their official home as it is important to my sense of self-worth to be seen as a kinky yet organized person. He opened drawers and nodded solemnly, asking appropriate questions as I showed off all the dildos, all the vibrators, all the buttplugs (Er, almost all the buttplugs). “You certainly do have a lot of toys,” he said, and because I am ridiculously insecure about these things I spent the next twenty seconds (which was, coincidentally, the amount of time until he next kissed me) worrying that he’d think my ownership of such a vast collection weird.

And then at 3am, “We should use the Hitachi on you,” he said.

It’s in a basket under the bed, I said out loud. (Ohboyohboyohboy, I said in my head, imagining how it would the next day make my legs ache in unusual and exciting ways.)

“No, I think it’s in the top drawer of your toolbox,” he said. “I saw it there earlier.”

And then from my mouth there began to flow a sentence which before it was even half out I knew was a mistake. No, I said. That’s the spare Hitachi.

“You have a spare Hitachi?” He said this in the exact same voice used by Buffy in questioning the demons’ choice of ante.

I answered from beneath a pillow. Doesn’t everybody have a spare Hitachi, and I’m gratified to say that after seeing what that amazing device did to me he came to believe that every household should indeed contain not only a Hitachi but also a spare Hitachi.

  1. So was it the Hitachi he used on you, or the spare Hitachi? Or, to demonstrate his ambidexerity, did he use both Hitachis?

  2. As I have killed no less than 10 of those silver bullets, yes, I concur. EVERY house should have a spare Hitachi. I will purchase a spare forthwith. I have not killed my original one yet, but with the workout it’s been getting lately thanks to some very steamy books and the fact that my current fwb lives quite far from me… It is just a matter of time.

  3. I concur. Perhaps even one in every room ’cause you never know where you may end up!

  4. sounds like you have found a good man.

  5. Ah, and I only aspired to one Hitachi. Always behind the curve….

  6. I should think the old ‘I review toys for a living’ thing should excuse the massive quantities present?

  7. I love it. I need to get a spare, b/c if my primary breaks, I will suffer greatly. ;-)

  8. On the subject of your missing buttplug–have you checked your children’s toybox? If one of them absconded with it while it was drying on the sink, imagine what they might be using it for….Barbie clothes rack, hot wheels ramp?

  9. haha, i <3 my hitachi, I usually reserve it 'just for me' (it's like my other lover or my boyfriend when I am single, haha) , but I let my new bf use it with me the other morning and whoohoo! Who knew I could actually have 'feelings' for my personal massager? lol, it was like a threesome!!!
