I've Spent 20 Years Testing Hundreds of Sex Toys. These Are the Only 3 I Still Use.
Ive been writing about sex for 18 years and for almost all of that time, people have been sending me free sex toys to try out. (Its nice work if you can get it.) These companies arent just being nice-they send them in the vain hope that I will write a favorable review and, in so doing, help them move some units.
