Dildo desk takeover

A couple days ago, I decided it was time. Time to clean ALL THE THINGS — err, actually organize my sex toys. They’ve been hanging out in plastic drawers, with no real order to them, for what seems like decades. So I pulled them out of their drawers, piled them on my desk, and started contemplating how to sort them.

I cleaned some dusty toys, put others into sandwich bags, labeled charging cords with masking tape, and listened to a mix called “Songs for Sorting Dildos” (it had a lot of Heart on it).

One disturbing thing I realized while staring at the bulk of my sex toy collection on my desk was that I hardly use most of these toys. I put my very favorites in the top drawers, then realized I was fairly indifferent about almost everything else.

There’s this whole mess of dildos that fall into some hazy “not awesome, but not bad” category, and I really need to make some decisions about them. I’ve kept them around because I tell myself “one day, I’ll have a hankering for that one.” But, it seems, that day never comes. Partly because I forget which toys I own, partly because I’m always testing new stuff or falling back on only the most awesome toys. Woe is me. Such a hard life.

I did, eventually, organize everything into some legitimate categories (there’s a vag balls/anal toys drawer, for instance), although I don’t know how much better it is than before. In any case, I will definitely be writing some posts about my plastic drawers and this organization method. Then you will know all my secrets.

EditHere are those posts:

    I stole your drawer idea when you first tweeted about it ages ago and have a double tower of toys myself, they’re organized by type, though anal toys has it’s own drawer and vag balls are with cock rings in mine. ;P I went through a “must clean all the toys and reorganize them!” thing when I got back from Alaska, so I totally know where you’re coming from. I’m in the same way, though, I have tons of toys that just sit there in the drawers because I’m too busy using other ones, even toys I love sometimes end up not getting much action. Oh, the lamentations of the sex toy reviewer.

    I want your tentacle.

    @Britni TheVadgeWig: That sounds like a terrible pick up line from an anime film…

    I think anybody who owns more than 3 of a “basic type” of toy will eventually experience this guilty feeling about not using them all equally . . . I know I have.

    Also, yay for organizing!

    What’s that other bright green looking toy? The non-Candy Stick one, in the bag?

    So far my toys are just one layer in a large Rubbermaid container, and I still use them all (though some more than others).

    I don’t see the Eroscillator there.

    @Ashley: That’s the Tantus Sherbet! It’s discontinued, sadly.

    @Elodie: I didn’t need to get the Eroscillator out. I know where it belongs: as close to me as possible.

    twas fun playing “name that toy!” with this picture.

    i tend not to keep anything i don’t love, or if i have a number of dildos that are too similar, i only keep one or two. i’ve given away and swapped out a bunch of stuff. well, this way my friends get to share in the sex toy love :P

    Wow that’s a lot of dildos! It’s almost art-installation-y! The colours are pwetty!

    I need to sort out my (quite a lot smaller) collection, it’s hard to put them all in one drawer because if my mother/sister is looking for something I don’t want them to stumble across it accidentally. I’ll have to wait to get a toy-chest for when I have my own place!

    By the end were you all like, “clean ALL the things?”

  • sophie2229

    ps is your intrigue the purple heart color too? It’s a little hard to tell

  • http://heyepiphora.com Epiphora

    @sophie2229: It’s actually Cocobolo, like my Romp!

  • http://britisshameless.com Britni TheVadgeWig

    I am going to take a picture, I think, when I clean and pack all mine up for the move so I can see what, exactly, I have.

  • Tracy

    I am TOTALLY jealous of your awesome collection!

  • sophie2229

    Tentacle: Yay or nay? Por que?

  • http://heyepiphora.com Epiphora

    @sophie2229: I hate to admit it, but nay. Every time I try it, I get frustrated. It’s too short and really, really awkward. Doesn’t hit my G-spot, and the texture doesn’t even feel that great.

  • sophie2229

    @Epiphora: That’s what I thought would happen, thanks for saving me the time/dinero. Hooray!

  • Selective Sensualist

    I always feel somewhat guilty for some reason about my neglected toys that fall in the “not awesome, not bad” category . . . Weird.

    I actually like your desk taken over by dildos. I mean, who needs a clean desk anyway? It looks SO much more interesting that way. So much eye candy!

    “ALL the things…?”

    I nearly snorted smoothie out my nose when I saw that Hypoerbole and a Half quote. And I am in desperate need of toy sorting. Right now I’m mid-move back home, and shit keeps coming up, so I’ve never unpacked. Thus, almost my entire freakin collection languishes in a suitcase and at the bottom of my rolling trunk.

    And yeah, those “wait, I own this? Whodathunk…” moments with good-not-great toys are always fun. :P

    Do you swap or sell siliicone/ glass/steal toys that you don’t want anymore?
