Fredrick Johnson. That’s what my girlfriend has chosen to call the first strap-on I’ve ever purchased.
We went to Babeland together after a dinner date. “Just to browse,” I told her. I had been thinking about it for a while, but actually telling my girlfriend that I was interested in trying out a strap-on was harder than I thought it would be. What if she thought I didn’t feel fulfilled by sex without a dildo? What if she wasn’t interested? What if she just thought it was a weird thing to want? My worries about how she would react kept me quiet that night, and I left the store empty-handed and disappointed.
That week I thought secretly about how to broach the subject. I spent hours searching the internet, researching strap-ons and becoming more comfortable with the idea. I figured I couldn’t talk to her until I was really comfortable doing what I was asking her to do. With a kajillion Babeland reviews and random online articles under my belt, I felt more confident about what I wanted and I had come up with a way to ask my girlfriend: the internet.
Talking online has always made tough subjects easier for me. For one, there’s a degree of removal. Plus, typing things out gives me the chance to word them exactly the way I want to. And once I hit send, I can’t take it back.
I found the strap-on that I wanted, the Jaguar Harness and Purple Leo Combo. It had the best reviews, and, being completely inexperienced in the area of dildos, all I had to go on was other peoples’ opinions. But this one seemed good. Not too big, not too small…and it was purple and sparkly. You can’t go wrong with purple and sparkly.
I didn’t want to seem too forward, or too married to the idea, so I posed it as a question. “What do you think about these? Because I kinda want to try one.” I gave her the link and jokingly added a rainbow dildo (Rainbow Amor) to lighten the mood, in case she was taken aback.
She replied almost immediately: “Heck yes! Let’s do it!” Apparently my worries about her reaction were completely unfounded. We decided to order the combo.
But there were still some things I wasn’t sure about. Was I supposed to buy those ring things that attached the dildo to the harness? What kind of lube should I get? And with such a major purchase, was I getting the right one? Luckily, Babeland has great online help.
I IMed their customer service rep and we chatted about all of my questions and had a fun time doing it. Without any friends that I felt comfortable asking about it, it was nice to have someone who was interested in talking and had all the information I needed. With her help, I settled on my purchase. With the purchase finally made, my girlfriend and I began the wait for Fredrick Johnson’s arrival and introduction to our bedroom.
