This is probably odd to ask most of you, but how do you stay excited to play with your toys? I have gotten quite a few toys over the years and the first couple weeks are fun when its new, but then I get used to it and go back to my hand. I will say that although I enjoy masturbating daily, playing with toys is maybe 1-2 times a week (but its been over a month now). This is a combination of not wanting to cleanup afterwards and/or getting instant satisfaction, rather than prepping for it. What can I say, when the mood sways me, I go for it!

So my question is, how do you guys still enjoy going back to your toys after so many times of doing it? I always watch porn with it, but like my toys I am always looking for something new and exciting to see. Is it just my personality or am I missing something? For reference, I have never been with a woman (just visited strip clubs) so its not like I know what I am missing out on, but I guess at the end of the day, watching porn and then fucking a toy just doesn't quite keep me interested. (although it's still cheaper than going to the strip club every month) Ironically, I was looking for a new toy when I decided to make this post, so who knows!

Below is my history of toys in case anyone is interested...

Fleshlight Pink Mouth (retired) - first toy, awkward and new, fun enough.
Fleshlight Pink Lady (retired) - improvement from the first, still not worth the price.
Meiki 007 Sarah - first time I really appreciated a good toy. Quite exciting initially.
Meiki 005 ZKY - bought with Sarah, so it was fun to swap between the two.
Meiki Premium Hera 3 Auto (retired) - got crazy with this one, all sorts of new sensations when going through the ass or mouth. Thought I found the ultimate toy. Ended up getting tired of cleaning it and moved on.
Cyberskin pussy (retired) - good for only 3 uses, then got rid of it. Terrible, hated it.
Seventeen Bordeaux - interesting toy, amusing for awhile, but found myself going back to the Meikis.
First Sexual Experience - bought with Seventeen, also fun for awhile. Liked the tighter hole on it.
Meiki Plush - was surprised with this one. Really thought it would solve all my problems, but the damn thing was even more work to get some toys inside and I couldn't stand having it in bed with me. Hugging/groping it was erotic initially, but then it was like, I need my space! Even got bras/panties to enhance the fantasy, but I still didn't get that good of an experience with it.

i guess it is really more of a personality thing.

I still use my toys because the sensation from it is that much better than just using my hands. I suppose an analogy is like this:

Toys = Fine Dining
Hand = Fast Food

So sometimes I get lazy and would like to have "fast food", but I definitely go for the fine dining whenever I can, since I already paid for it and it just taste that much better for me, so that extra effort is worth it.

To each his own I guess.

"I am always looking for something new and exciting to see."

Or feel!  This, my friend, is the meat of the issue.  You say that you've not had a woman but this changes nothing.  You are one of us.  For our sex there is always the new, the strange, the fantastic! 

No matter how satisfied or comfortable we are, new is always calling to us.  Strange shores, lands, ports, how vigorously exciting!  So it is with women and toys.

Pick your new toy, (or woman!), and enjoy!

The grass is always greener on the other side my friend....there's so many toys out there with different sensations ..and of course women.. unless your married. But I'd like to have a different sensation from time to time so that's why I keep buying new toys, over the years i've been using toys there have been many new innovations which strike my interest...I have not gotten bored of it yet..

To quote Friends, I don't know if I am hungry or horny   

You are one of us.

Aww    Thank you, that is nice to hear!

But seriously, thank you everyone for the replies. I think I just need to slow down and enjoy the good things more! Try to really feel the toys before giving up on them. And accept that no matter how much I fight it, I will always want the shiny, new, rubbery glob of fun! Now I just have to figure a way to tell the Meiki cousins that they may have some more guests visiting...

Pretty much.

I know where you are coming from. I have a bunch of toys and I sometimes think to myself "why do I have these toys?" and while I usually still use them most of the time, I have become used to most and it gets me thinking about another toy and then when I get the new toy I wonder why I got it and will use it for a bit (not enough to justify the purchase) then think about getting a new toy. Hell, I got the Superb Fella 3 a month ago and I am already interested in getting that new oral sleeve that just came out even though I've only used the SF3 a few times and it is a solid toy.

I have the Meiki Plush and it is great yet at the same time it requires the extra work both in setting up and in use and I often don't use it for the intended purpose even though I bought a lot of clothes for it early on a year ago. What I mainly do with it is sleep with it as I like to hold/cuddle with it.

I will say one benefit of having a bunch of toys is going back to previous guys that seem a bit new after not being used for a while. I have 2 Tenga flip holes that I basically quit using after I got my Tenga 3D sleeves yet now I'm back to rocking the Flip Holes when I am in the mood for some Tenga toy use.

One thing I have been doing a lot lately which I used to do before getting into the sex toy hobby is lubing up my head and the area on my belly where the head touches and I just rub my junk against it moving side to side. This is a slow but powerful build up and the intensity of unloading is as powerful or more than what any toy can give me because my most sensitive spot is on that front side of my head and this simply targets that spot by itself yet is never over stimulating. The key is to make sure the lube stays slick so frequent water use is a must.

Interesting, it's kinda like the best massage ever. Ignore the other bits, focus on the parts that matter. All lubed up and no place to go! (sorry, couldn't resist  )  I may have to try this though, I am intrigued...

Give yourself a few days or even better a week without anything, and notice how much better these toys feel then. I always try and do this and appreciate them that much more. Will still use the hand occasionally, mainly for convenience if I can't sleep.

You feelings don't end at these toys either; you'd eventually get bored with even the hottest women.

The scientific term for this is called the Coolidge effect (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coolidge_effect) and it applies to both real women and sex toys. Genetic diversity has been an essential part of the success of homo sapiens and as such nature has made it so you get tired fairly quickly from fucking the same thing again and again.

I suggest taking simple paper towels (not the cheapest brand) and coating entire onahole in corn starch. Wrap in paper towels, and then put it inside original box. If you don't want it 'noticed' keep unmarked white shipping boxes that ToyDemon lovingly provides our unmentionables during shipping.

That way you cant go wrong. I actually have 2 or 3 storage bags, but find the method described above as a tad less messy than bags practically crusted over in cornstarch; however, I hope you find what works most effectively for you.

Whoa, dropping science on a sex toy forum?!?!  I like it   I would agree with the theory. However, the one lingering question in my mind is -- why don't I get bored of my hand? Other than the obvious one that its attached to me and is the quickest route to self pleasure, you would think the same rule applies (if we consider a toy to be a novel female, then the hand should be included too).

I did order some Tenga Deep Throat cups to see if those will be even easier and quicker to clean then other toys. Although a tad pricey for limited use, they could replace the hand as the quickest option. For science!

Like many, you may suffer from porn addiction.  You're constantly searching for new because your pleasure/reward centers are fried. See www.yourbrainonporn.com.

I'll agree with the OP and others--among toys I like, they're fun for awhile but I get bored quickly.

In my case it's a mix of things.  Part of it is like the OP--I usually don't want to get it out, warm it up, get the lube, warm that up, and on and on.  Cleanup is less of a concern because I've never found that too onerous.

But for some things it's also the mechanics.  I've got a perfectly good P&A that's collecting dust because I don't have a comfortable place to use it.  Without getting into a lot of tedious detail--I like to watch porn while using it, but the bed isn't anywhere situated to accommodate that, and so on.  I don't feel like building Rube Goldberg setups just to knock one out.

Every so often I'll make the effort and get something out, and usually I'm rewarded.  Something simple like a Tenga Egg gets used most often; the P&A the least because of the work involved.

^^^ was always my fear.  I don't want to spend that much money and find out I don't like it.
