so this is what my saturdays look like these days

Sherlock the laptop now has an arrival date of 9/15 and let me say thank God. I found my old laptop cooler that is broken and am currently using that since I can't get Adam the laptop below 85C without it and have a running burn on my inner calf at this point. I also ordered a new laptop cooler since the XPS 16 apparently runs hot on its own,

Ooh, I do like detail. And yes, a good scale system would be nice.

Hmm. I should put a list of recommended places to shop.

[crabby_lioness]

goodvibes.com used to have scale systems for both power and noise level. I haven't shopped there since they stopped taking checks, so IDK if they still have it.

Ooh, I like that. Adding to the recommendation list!

I second the Good Vibes rec; they still rate based on power and noise, btw. They also are committed to "green and sustainable" toys, which helps the eco-conscious shopper have sustainable orgasms. One of my favorite things about them is their implicit acknowledgement that hey, everybody has to buy their first sex toy sometime, and rate things for beginners--let's say you aren't ready yet for California Hardwood or "burn your clit off", they're happy to direct you to something more your speed and hardness. They also have a selection of truly beautiful hand-crafted glass dildos, which I would buy solely for their artistic value if I weren't quite so poor.

I personally use http://www.blowfish.com/ - They have actual reviewers they employ for the site, buying guides, and a good splash of humor to go along with the fact that you are, indeed, shopping for sex toys and that's okay. They also have a very wide selection and really good customer service.

Excellent! Adding to the list! Thank you!

I second this! Blowfish is my absolute favorite site for toy shopping; I get their weekly update and http://www.fishnetmag.com is their online erotica zine. I've thought about submitting to them before but haven' gotten around to it.

Whenever I see a toy elsewhere I go back to Blowfish to check it out.

I adore blowfish's humor; the section for suction cup toys used to have the subtitle "Stick it somewhere and... go fuck yourself". XD

Oh, good one, thank you! Adding to the list!

If you haven't tried it yet, Good for Her is awesome and hosts the Feminist Porn Awards, which celebrates porn that is made for and by women and focuses on representing female and male sexuality in ways that aren't completely cliched and derogatory towards women and minorities.

I have not and now I am exploring it! Thank you! Added to the list.
