Ah, the age old philosophical question" How many dildos is too many? Believe me, If Plato and Socrates couldn't figure this one out, I, your humble Guyspeak servant, may not fare much better. But I'll take a stab at it or with it as the case may be.
Lets start at the beginning, shall well? The root of the matter is not how many dildos, so much as how many holes are we looking to fill? Supply and Demand. Actually Demand and Supply. Barring the ears and nostrils (that eliminates 4 orifices off the bat), we're down to 3 holes for women, and a mere 2 holes for men.
Now that we've concluded potential spots for dildo'ing we are left with the two-in-one matter of size and sensation.
Some people want a dildo that just creates some pressure and impact in their X, Y, or Z hole. Others see no use in doing anything half- assed and much prefer wall to wall vaginal or anal coverage. For those in that camp -- the camp that gets off on skin tearing, cold sweats and gasps of oxygen when they're dildo'ing -- either one mongo-size or several mid-size dildos will be required.
And thus we return full circle. Back to the vague and perhaps disappointing answer Plato gave centuries ago:
How many dildos is too many?
Plato: F*ck if I know. The one that sends you to the ER?
I'll turn it to the floor. Anyone like to tell us what there dilly is (# wise)?
Um...42?
(giggle giggle)
to me that's like asking how many chocolate bars is too many. huh?? what?? there's nothing sadder than running out of chocolate. and each chocolate bar serves a different purpose. sometimes i'm in the mood for mr. big, and sometimes i just want a twix bar. i am hearing sheryl crow...."if it makes you happy, it can't be that bad"
I've always been a one dildo woman but that's just me.
Chrissie^ has a point, but I think of them as shoes. Smooth and ridges; vibrating and not; light purring vs. loose fillings vibrations; all should be waterproof, but sometimes the one you want doesn't come in waterproof... I've found that "too many" is when the BF starts asking if you really need another one.
Kinda like kissing frogs til you find your prince, you gotta get a few to test them out to find out which one serves you the best. Then you will find your prince and won't need any more...but until then enjoy getting as many as you want to "Test the waters" so to speak.
