Lady Luster: This is my favorite vibrator because it’s cheap, metallic blue, and made by Good Vibrations—an amazing female-friendly sex store. It’s classic, basic, lustrous, and a pleasure to have in bed. Venus Vibrance and Pulsar Toothbrush: I’d rather not masturbate with my razor (it’s a little scary holding...
