I never use them when I'm masturbating, I agree with you mixed - I just want the real thing! I'd much rather use my hands.
But, I do really enjoy my dildo (also vib) when my guy is going down on me, or to use while we're having sex (in my ass or vagina, either) for DP.
This one has been my favorite so far.

But, when having sex with girls, dildos are much more fun!
