I regularly have people presenting to me and have to give feedback. I'm now actively looking for messy presentation slides with typos and pressing them with questions afterwards to tease out if I'm just being given an AI copy/paste output or genuine work.
This is a bad take. There's nothing wrong with using toys during sex. There's nothing wrong with your partner using a toy on you instead of their body nor is there nothing wrong with your partner just enjoying witnessing you using a toy on yourself. As long as everyone is enjoying themselves and everything is consensual and safe, who cares?
I fully agree with everything you just said. My point was that if you bring so little to the table that you feel you're in danger of being successfully replaced by a toy, then you need to do some self-improvement.
I guess I can agree with that with the caveat that the self improvement should be understanding that the presence of a toy in sex isn't replacing you at all. Wanting to use a toy with someone is not replacing them.
I love this because I'm pretty sure it's why I (female) was able to beat my (male) ex at certain mini-games. Gotta rub the stick button back and forth really quickly? Oh honey, you have no chance against me.
"I know what you're thinking. 'Did he get me to fire six nuts or only five?' Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kinda lost track myself. But being this is a magic wand vibrator, the most powerful in the world and would blow your clit clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel horny?' Well, do ya, punk?"
Seeing people call every edited thing 'AI' even when it's not actually made with AI reminds me of how people used to call every edited thing 'photoshopped'
This is not the kind of thing people say "on main", but I gotta say, holding your partner in your arms from behind while using this? Such an intimate experience.
Nah, you can't. Sex and the City did a whole episode on how good the rabbit was. And things have only gotten more creative since. Clit blaster 3000 isn't sci-fi these days
Sex isn't just about raw physical stimulation. It's also an emotional experience, and I would argue it's primarily an emotional experience. I'm telling you, I can provide a better full-spectrum sexual experience than any machine.
Didn't you just say its emotional? Then its subjective, and not totally within your control... there is no objective truth to "I am better than a vibrator", its only your ability to match the preference of your partner.
Maybe for you. Your experience with sex is truly just your own experience. People who aren't you experience the world and it's sensations radically differently.
Yeah, I'm conflicted about oral. It can be a lot of fun at first, but at a certain point it just gets.... too wet. Uncomfortably wet. Need-to-sit-on-a-towel-now wet.
Generally the ladies seem to vastly prefer my mouth, I have never met one that wanted to bring a vibe in thus far. I'm down as long as you use it on me too lol.
I've decided to stop caring when people hit the special "AI slop!!1!" button on their keyboards whenever they see an image they don't think looks natural. 20 years ago the same people would have angrily pounded the "Obvious Photoshop!!1!" button. It really doesn't matter if they think AI is the only way to manipulate images now, as if Photoshop etc dropped off the face of the Earth. It's like arguing over whether Superman could beat up the Hulk. It just doesn't matter, and it doesn't matter how much they hate AI. It's not going away.
Because no one I'm seeing in these comments is bringing it up, there is something to be said for wanting to do a thing yourself. Sure, if the goal is just orgasms, shove her on a sybian and go play video games. It'll be very efficient. However, if your goal is to engage in a shared experience where each of you is dedicating yourself to the labor of pleasuring the other in the most intimate way possible, even if it doesn't result in an orgasm, then the vibrator is not working toward your goal. Look at oral. Almost no person is going to orgasm from giving oral. We do it as an act of love, giving pleasure to a partner without pleasure being automatically recieved. A vibe will make your partner cum whether or not you are there. The genAI of orgasms, a machine producing using raw electric power what a person would produce using skill and emotion. Using it doesn't have the same demonstration effect. There is a special satisfaction in being the one who puts in the work to bring a partner to orgasm, and a special satisfaction that comes from being the one they are willing to put real effort into bringing to an orgasm. Which one matters more to you is subjective but this take is overly flattening while pretending to be enlightened.
You can use a vibrator on someone, even integrate them into normal PIV sex. Sex toys are your teammates, not your competition. Then again I’m a lesbian and we don’t have as many hang-ups about using sex toys during sex.
That's just repeating the concept in the OP and ignoring my point. There is a value in the personal touch. Which would signal a better partner to you: a woman who knows you like to have food sometimes so she installs a vending machine in your apartment with all the options set to ice cream and the prices at 0.00, so you can always have as much of this one thing to eat, any time, any day, with or without her, as you like as long as you keep paying for power,
or one who knows you like food, so she figures out what you like and dislike, learns recipes that she thinks will make you happy, spends time finding or growing good produce to make those recipes, and only when she's feeling ill or burned out by work, reaches for the vending machine? The vending machine is always there as an option, but not wanting to use it is not just weakness. It's often a desire to be the best version of yourself for your partner, not as a competition with the machine but a competition with the limitations of human language and form to express the inexpressible extent of your love.
OP, your bad photoshop has a million times more heart and soul than any AI image.
How rude; no need to insult the guy!
::: spoiler explaining the joke
(A million times more than zero is still zero. Bad photoshops are so much better than AI that the comparison defies being quantified!) :::
Yeah, i'll take a half or quarter assed photoshoped meme over AI slop any day. It at least has some soul to it
Bad human art has more soul and care than meaningless AI slop

those who fear sex toys get neither the sex nor the toy
But we still have the fear!
Ha!
Wtf did we evolve opposable thumbs for if not for tool use
grabbing branches probably.
Some use the tool, others just became tools
Gently rubbing the clit.
A man beingg afraid of a vibe is also a HUGE red flag
If you can't bring more to a relationship than an appliance can, then you've got to work on yourself.
This is a bad take. There's nothing wrong with using toys during sex. There's nothing wrong with your partner using a toy on you instead of their body nor is there nothing wrong with your partner just enjoying witnessing you using a toy on yourself.

Using the toy on your partner is potentially part of bringing more to the table, yes.
People who grew up on Nintendo, and specifically Mario Party in the early days, definitely have a particular set of skills though.
I love this because I'm pretty sure it's why I (female) was able to beat my (male) ex at certain mini-games. Gotta rub the stick button back and forth really quickly? Oh honey, you have no chance against me.
Tragically few games use a rapid jerking motion.
No More Heroes for the Wii does! You have to shake the wiimote to recharge your not-a-lightsaber and it's hilarious.
Tears of the Kingdom to un-stick your builds
And a burned set of palms
Bad photoshop my ass, that's some fine photoshop work!
I must agree though, I'd rather see some bad photoshop memes than AI slop.
It took a long time to trace those outlines! Great photoshop seconded!
Outlines are fine, the tell is the utterly different lighting (could have been solved with a non-lightbox photo)
I am man, and man evolved to use tools.
early on when i gave her one for xmas she was shocked (sheltered upbringing). to this day it by far the xmas gift she uses the most
Ladies, is it off-putting if you take home a random guy and he brings his own vibrator?
Where has it been
In my fanny pack, of course.
What's so funny
They really should've called them fanny sacks.
I feel like the move would be to ask if they have any toys they want to bring into the game
Most women wouldn't feel comfortable asking that to a random guy.
Oh jeez, I could feel that through the internet o_o
Please tell me you found a man who can bring a decent quality toy as a first date present
I mean... It's just a suggestion.
"I know what you're thinking. 'Did he get me to fire six nuts or only five?' Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kinda lost track myself.

Terrific quote.
Seeing people call every edited thing 'AI' even when it's not actually made with AI reminds me of how people used to call every edited thing 'photoshopped'
Same
Uh... edited images are photoshopped. That's kind of what that word means, despite what Adobe's lawyers would like people to say.
This calls for the nuclear option.
I believe that's the noble steed
This is not the kind of thing people say "on main", but I gotta say, holding your partner in your arms from behind while using this? Such an intimate experience.
Look at this person with a partner
You don't know her. She's from a different town. But she's totally real, I swear
Can confirm! It can get a bit difficult to reach so far down tho
This works. It's like watching an exorcism. I don't have a lot of achievements in my life, but this was a proud moment.
Having used many toys the Hitachi Wand style is probably the worst. More likely to burn a clit off than give the desired result.
Do not apply directly to the clit. Apply adjacent to the clit.
Opinions vary, some people like that harsh action (not my thing, but one of my exes loved hers)
Was she like... calloused there? Sorry just having a hard time understanding. Different strokes for different folks I guess.
I think when she gave birth there was a lot of tearing in a bad way, so she lost a lot of sensation
I don't doubt someone has already said this, but it bears repeating
It isn't a competition. It's different pleasures in different ways
Maybe not to you but to the toymakers it very much is a competition
Apparently if you press it against the base of your dick, which won't make you cum btw, it'll turn your dick into a meat vibrator with great effect.
Have you tried?
Lol no of course not, I'm on lemmy
There are rings to make that more convenient.
I love a man who brings toys 😋
Dude, a girl that likes a vibe? That's HAWT.
You rang?
The honourable way to edit images.
Toys are fun don't get me wrong but you can absolutely compete with them if you really develop your oral skills
Nah, you can't. Sex and the City did a whole episode on how good the rabbit was. And things have only gotten more creative since. Clit blaster 3000 isn't sci-fi these days
Sex isn't just about raw physical stimulation. It's also an emotional experience, and I would argue it's primarily an emotional experience. I'm telling you, I can provide a better full-spectrum sexual experience than any machine.
The John Henry of oral. The question is do you want to go out the way he did?
I guess there are worse ways to go out.

No, thanks, I'll pass. I hate tongue anywhere near my clit. Different strokes for different folks ;P
Hello my polar opposite as someone who primarily gets off from giving cunnilingus

At least photoshop required skill to make anything convincing.
"In my day we had to make our own wire..."
Who fucking cares if it's done for a shitpost?!
…Isn’t that the joke of the post?
I wonder what the next technological innovation will be that will have bandwagoners pining for AI image generation.
Same people who'd criticize photoshop in the past now singing its praises.
I agree
how many men go to tune up a car without the TOOLS of the trade?
You can really tell it's a shop because of the pixels.
You just gotta vibe rate harder

I'd love to try one of these on a cutie. I may even have to tie her up as all the girls i've been with have been thrashers
Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Not like anything weird. Just like, "will you please. stop. SCREAMING!?"
Hit me with it capt'n
There are two ways to interpret your comment, one probably comes with a private island and an orange moron.
Oh, I see it now. I'll happily admit that I am not immune to the law tho.
I’m sure they’re pretty cheap used. Don’t let your dreams stay dreams.
