		<description>I also get a ton of positive feedback on reviews, which is one of the main reasons I still do them.  After taking quite a long hiatus from writing them last year, I&#039;ve come back to doing them again because as I said, I do think that they serve a purpose.
People will always have differing opinions.  That&#039;s what makes the world go &#039;round.  I don&#039;t get what people are all irritated about, LOL.
Thank you for the comment, and I am totally flattered that you read my reviews :)  I know I like never comment (I&#039;m such a shithead when it comes to commenting) but I read you regularly too :)
XOXO

		<description>Yeah I stumbled across the &quot;raging debate&quot; (or whatever) about review saturation this weekend.  It amazes me that people get bent outta shape about this stuff.  Its a free world - read what you want right?  Seems like if I pay attention, every 3 or 4 months there&#039;s some sort of opinionated &quot;everyone&#039;s blogging wrong&quot; debate happening.  

I&#039;ve always had the stance that my blog is a passtime for me.  I used to obsessively watch my stats and stuff, till one day I realized that my life was already full of enough stress - why not just enjoy blogging for bloggings sake and let the cards fall as they will. 

That said, I have noticed that the people that give me feedback on reviews - or say &quot;wow I totally must have that&quot; - are consistent.  By that, I mean I have readers that take my recommendations into careful consideration.  I would imagine that you&#039;ve got something similar going on as you&#039;ve been reviewing longer than I have.  To me, that&#039;s success enough :)

And I hear ya - I don&#039;t like reading review only blogs - but I will do a quick search of their archives to see if they&#039;ve reviewed anything that&#039;s totally new/awesome/unique :)  By the same token, I don&#039;t tend to read sex blogs that constantly analyze the authors sexuality/human condition (some is good, but not 100% of the time).  I needs my reality-smut, that&#039;s all there is to it ;)

But hey, that&#039;s just me, right?

Stay Classy!  And for the record, your reviews are probably the only ones I consistently read.  Funny hey?</description>

		<description>I also get a ton of positive feedback on reviews, which is one of the main reasons I still do them.  After taking quite a long hiatus from writing them last year, I&#039;ve come back to doing them again because as I said, I do think that they serve a purpose.
People will always have differing opinions.  That&#039;s what makes the world go &#039;round.  I don&#039;t get what people are all irritated about, LOL.
Thank you for the comment, and I am totally flattered that you read my reviews :)  I know I like never comment (I&#039;m such a shithead when it comes to commenting) but I read you regularly too :)
XOXO

		<description>Yeah I stumbled across the &quot;raging debate&quot; (or whatever) about review saturation this weekend.  It amazes me that people get bent outta shape about this stuff.  Its a free world - read what you want right?  Seems like if I pay attention, every 3 or 4 months there&#039;s some sort of opinionated &quot;everyone&#039;s blogging wrong&quot; debate happening.  

I&#039;ve always had the stance that my blog is a passtime for me.  I used to obsessively watch my stats and stuff, till one day I realized that my life was already full of enough stress - why not just enjoy blogging for bloggings sake and let the cards fall as they will. 

That said, I have noticed that the people that give me feedback on reviews - or say &quot;wow I totally must have that&quot; - are consistent.  By that, I mean I have readers that take my recommendations into careful consideration.  I would imagine that you&#039;ve got something similar going on as you&#039;ve been reviewing longer than I have.  To me, that&#039;s success enough :)

And I hear ya - I don&#039;t like reading review only blogs - but I will do a quick search of their archives to see if they&#039;ve reviewed anything that&#039;s totally new/awesome/unique :)  By the same token, I don&#039;t tend to read sex blogs that constantly analyze the authors sexuality/human condition (some is good, but not 100% of the time).  I needs my reality-smut, that&#039;s all there is to it ;)

But hey, that&#039;s just me, right?

Stay Classy!  And for the record, your reviews are probably the only ones I consistently read.  Funny hey?</description>

		<description>It seems to me if someone is getting butthurt over comments on their own product review...then maybe they are reviewing the wrong products. 

I like online reviews on sex toys because if I actually get up the courage to walk into a &quot;toy store&quot; alone, most of the time no one there knows anything.

I remember asking for some nipple clamps at the &quot;local&quot; porn shop.  I was shown a set for men....at least I assume it was for men. I have never seen post pubescent female nipples small enough for those to have fit.  The person &quot;helping&quot; me just shrugged and walked away.

I read not just the reviews, but about who supplied the items.  Then when I do wish to buy something, I also have a company to put with a product.

Oh, and if you ever get bored with any of the items you HAVE reviewed (for girls) I would be MORE than happy to take them off your hands.  My current stash is dwindling due to overuse.</description>

<p>I remember asking for some nipple clamps at the &#8220;local&#8221; porn shop.  I was shown a set for men&#8230;.at least I assume it was for men. I have never seen post pubescent female nipples small enough for those to have fit.  The person &#8220;helping&#8221; me just shrugged and walked away.</p>
<p>I read not just the reviews, but about who supplied the items.  Then when I do wish to buy something, I also have a company to put with a product.</p>
<p>Oh, and if you ever get bored with any of the items you HAVE reviewed (for girls) I would be MORE than happy to take them off your hands.  My current stash is dwindling due to overuse.</p>
