I once read a fic wherein Three offers to improve Jo's vibrator for her. This challenged a lot of my preconceptions: 1) Slash is hotter than het 2) No Doctor/Jo. EVAR. 3) No sex toys.
I found it absolutely, 110% believable and in character for Three to see Jo's vibrator as just another gadget he could improve. Also relevant, I think, is the fact that Jo's hypothetical vibrator is personal and specific to her in a way most sex toys in fic aren't.
I also liked that Three was _accidentally_ very intimate with Jo; it just didn't occur to him what he was suggesting. I think that often the presence of sex toys makes the eroticisim between two people feel more impersonal, more deliberate, and more "professionally choreographed," but here it did the exact opposite, and I think that's part of why I liked it. This now reminds me of that prompt on the Anon meme about Shalka!Doctor getting off on fixing the Master but being too uptight to admit it. Strikes me as the same dynamic, in many ways.

(You wouldn't happen to have a link to that fic would you? I adore Three/Jo)
