Now I've Seen Everything...

It's amazing where you end up by random clicking, I'm not sure where I really started, but I ended up at this site.

it's the Netflix of sex toys.

In theory I can see this as perhaps being a good idea, you can try out the toy to decide if you like it or not, but it's kinda skeevy, at least to me, wondering where that toy was before it ended up in my mailbox.

So, would you use such a service?

HELL no. There is no way to guarantee where that thing has been... and even if you do use condoms on it (as they suggest), what's the point? I like my sex toys because they're my sex toys, and I picked them out after much consideration and thought (usually after going to a hands-on, user-friendly place such as Toys in Babeland or Good Vibrations). And if they don't work, at least I know I'm the only person who handled them. So far, with my spendier toys I've done enough research on them beforehand to know what would or wouldn't be a good investment.

The only use I can see for this site is if the toys were silicone, and one could disinfect them at home and be sure that the thing was clean. But damn, even then it would be dodgy... I dunno, I just don't like it!

O Man.. anyone.. looking for buisness partners (I sry its tacky but im tired )

Definately not, sex toys are for one person/partner only, thats just weird I think..
like Abaya, you dont know where they have been.. I hope no one relates this to buying a used car.

Riiiiight, I'll file that excuse right next to "I have this friend, and he has a problem..."

On topic, though, I'll say "no". Let's take sex out of the question. Rent-a-needle? Rent-a-contact-lens? Rent-a-catheter? Rent-dental-equipment? Certain things just shouldn't be shared.

No no no ... He's playing Keep-away -- she wants the dildo probably because it's more exciting than he is...

Uhm...I think I'll pass on that. Can't help but wonder what short of shape some of those things are returned in. I, uh...wouldn't want to handle them even for cleaning.

Also, if I were one of the models in that main picture, I'd be pretty sketched out that my pic was modded show me with a big, fat dildo. Certainly not what they were paid for. LOL

On a side note, maybe I should rent out my showerhead.

OK, no.

That's nasty. . . though it does give me any idea. . .

Anybody up for starting a rent-a-prostitute service that's based in Vegas? It's legal cause it's out of Nevada, right? You just have to pay the travel costs of the woman? (Is rent-a-prostitute redundant?)

Give it two months and I'm sure we'll see the "sues sex-toy rental company over contracting STD" thread.

I honestly wonder how they get around board of health laws. You can't return, and have the store resell underwear or swimsuits that have been worn, one of these sex toys is obviously used, so because they aren't technically selling it but renting it, do they bypass the laws....

It's still skeevy...

Bogus, methinks

The WHOIS on that site isn't particularly useful; it was a private registration through "Domains by Proxy, Inc.". Registration was only completed on April 10, 2005. I find it kind of weird that they don't list their actual content, but instead "(Since you are not signed in as a customer you will be redirected to a site that sells but does NOT rent sex toys)" All of those links go to 'sextoysex.com'; if you hit that website, it shows that they have an affiliate system where you can resell their stuff.

So, what we have here is a clever marketing tool that will never become a rental company. Nonetheless, anyone feel like signing up for the Free Trial? Someone should do that (with a disposable address) and report the results.

Within 2 seconds, I was able to determine that this site is fake. It's a front for a sex toy dealer, but the renting part is a viral marketing gimmick.

Well, aside from the fact that site appears to be fake....

We buy second hand stuff all the time. You buy second hand clothes, furniture and the like, all of which could come from skeevy people.

I mean, my old roommate used to hang out naked in his room all the time. Check his e-mail, nude. Lay around in his bed, nude. Sit on the futon and play video games, nude. You get the idea. When it came time for him to move out, he sold his desk, the chair, the futon and his bed. So, somewhere there is an office chair being used that my roommate's bare ass and genitals were all over, somewhere someone is using the bed my roommate used to get it on with his skeevy girlfriends and somewhere someone is using the futon that my roommate lounged around naked on while playing Final Fantasy VII.

Not to mention, rental houses. Someone used that toilet before you, right? Someone brushed their teeth using your sink, washed their ass using your bathtub/shower, possibly had sex on your kitchen counters and floor, right?

I'm just asking what the real difference is? If someone wanted to rent/sell used sex toys, what's the big deal?

Just asking....

My last job, until the humorless HR department intervened, for a surprise birthday party for one of our colleagues, purchased a whole barnyard full of blow up animals. There was a sheep, a pig, a cow, and a few others... all hanging from the ceiling, all clearly visible as to what their intended use was for... Different strokes for different folks...

Okay, now that I've recovered... Guthmund, good question.

How is the idea of renting a sex toy different from "renting" a prostitute? (since you are essentially renting her vagina for a time period). Even with a condom, I'd be pretty freaked out if I was a guy... seems way dodgier than renting a sex toy, actually.

Thoughts?

It got you to look at it. I don't think it was such a bad idea after all.
