Rest assured, sex toys will never replace people

As part of our ongoing series "the stuff people send us", I'd like to share this well-articulated letter sent to us a few years ago. This fellow is particularly concerned that the popularity and availability of sex toys is causing him to lose potential partners. Well, we don't think that vibrators make for very good people substitutes - not even the talking ones! - in fact, we think that this gentleman might do well to acquire a few of these 'competing' devices to his tickle trunk rather than shun them!

Disclaimer: this letter was sent to a number of sex shops years ago, and we're republishing it here because, well, I love the sex toys he's singled out (Hip and Hop Rabbit Vibe, Mango Packer, etc) and it was clearly meant for a large audience. Obviously, nothing you ever send us in confidence will ever wind up on the internet. Why? Because we believe in being worthy of your trust.
