Product Reviews

I've thought for a good while that a product review Sub-Forum or maybe a managed Sticky or even just a thread would be a good idea if the posters could use restraint or if it could be controlled. It would need to remain true to the forum Mission Statement: https://www.franktalk.org/aboutUs.php

To educate men about erectile dysfunction and help them find treatment or cure through education, support, advocacy, and research.

Admittedly, deciding what reviews would clearly fit within that statement wouldn't always be clear, nor would there always be agreement. Additionally, while this is "Frank Talk", IMHO, it would be more appropriate if reviews were more "clinical" and less "graphic" so as to not turn off potential readers and reviewers. Yeah, a moving target. However, I believe reviews by most Frank Talk members would be a whole lot more useful to other members and visiting ED sufferers that Amazon and etc. reviews.

Ideally, a sub-forum on the topic would be divided, at least in some manner, into legit medical devices and what could be considered novelties, although that distinction could be fuzzy at times. It would also need to be managed in such manner that divergent opinions on the same product or device could be represented in close proximity to maintain relevance and fairness. I know my review of a product, from the perspective of an non-implanted over 60 cancer/RP survivor with nerve damage using injections, could be very different from someone's review from a different personal perspective.

Of course such managerial decisions are out of my purview and I don't want to step on toes. However, unless directed otherwise, I'm thinking on starting a trial thread on the topic, perhaps in the Members Only sub-forum. A "Members Only" location might allow some members to feel more at ease reviewing a product they don't necessarily want the whole world to know they use or tried (That would be me ), although the internet being what it is.... The down side is that placing it in members only will prevent non-members from being able to avail themselves of our wonderful unbiased reviews.

Worth trying?

Product reviews based on personal experience? Would links to products be included?
Could be very useful, but I imagine hard to police.

The Air Touch II (https://www.morethansextoys.com/product ... n-vibrator). This thing drives my wife crazy... it is, by far and away, the best money I have ever spent... I give it an 11/10.

The Air Touch II

I think the link is dead.
We have a ton of different vibrators and female sex toys. She has her favorites, but for a clitoral toy during sex this is the go to for now.

I would think woman's toys would be drifting too far outside the mission statement. But if not I'm good with that. I can do reviews on those too, based on wifie's comments and reactions of course. What sub-forum should they be in? I doubt "Suggestions" is the proper place.

A happy wife is a happy life.

If everything "lines up" correctly for this toy, I can see how it could be a valuable addition. Probably wouldn't work for every woman, but NO toy does!

Elsewhere you mentioned a sudden increase in interest and desire for sex by your wife. Do you think using toys had anything to do with it. It was definitely so for us.
