Toyin’
around: Talking with porn stars to see what’s in their toy
boxes
By Troy
Michael
From
dildos to vibrators to dongs to lubes, sexual devices and
accessories have been around since the dawn of man.
A variety
of techniques our ancestors discovered for enhancing their
sexual experiences included prehistoric stone carvings to
Egyptian art depicting female dancers gyrating nearly naked,
carrying a sculpture of an oversized erect penis to honor the
God Osiris.
Now in the
21 century, the adult toy and novelty business is a
multi-million dollar industry. You can get sex toys at adult toy
stores—then there are adult toy parties and just about anything
can be found on the internet.
Dildos and
vibrators weren’t always this readily available. In 1969, Adam &
Eve began a condoms-by-mail store and has become one of the
leading outlets for toys and novelties today. Now with hundreds
of outlets and adult super stores with thousands of products, we
asked some of the best porn performers a little bit about their
love for sex toys and what exactly do they keep handy by their
bedsides.

COURTNEY CUMMZ
What's
your favorite sex toy and why?
Anything
that vibrates gets me off, but the back massager is the best
ever! Also, I have rabbit ears that plug into my cigarette
lighter for the car that works wonders.
Do you name
your sex toys?
In fact,
yes I do. Pinky is my favorite. She is a nice clit vibrator.
What's the
strangest object you have used for a sex toy?
I’ve been
known to get my daily balance of fruits and veggies.
Where’s the
strangest place you’ve ever played with your sex toy?
Driving in
traffic along the 101 and 405 freeways.
How many sex
toys do you own?
About 50
or so.
SASHA
GREY
What's
your favorite sex toy and why?
My hand,
fist, whatever you'd like to call it. My chrome butt plug is
great, as well.
Do you name
your sex toys?
Nope, a
spade's a spade.
What's the
strangest object you have used for a sex toy?
A spoon—I
know it's weird, but when I was younger I read that it was a
great sex toy. I guess most people would consider a cell phone
weird too...
Where is the
strangest place you’ve ever played with your sex toy?
In Tom
Byron's ass!

toys while stuck in traffic?
If I'm
trying to open up my ass, I'll definitely stick a butt plug in.

I'd say
around 17.
NINA
HARTLEY
What's
your favorite sex toy and why?
My favorite sex toy is my Hitachi Magic Wand, as it's the most
reliable way for me to get off. I have two favorite butt plugs
we always use (when Ernest Greene isn't in my butt, himself). I
like them because they feel good inside as well as Ernest liking
them, too. I have a few dildos I like, too, for those times I
need a little extra friction.
Do you name your sex toys?
Some of them, yes. Most of my older silicone dildos have names:
Pinky, Marblehead, Goldie, Kate. But I have over 40 dildos and
they don't all have names, just descriptions like "the bumpy
one," "the fat pink one," etc.
What’s the strangest object you have used
for a sex toy?
Truth be told, I usually use sex toys as sex toys.
Where’s the strangest place you’ve ever
played with your sex toy?
I usually play with my sex toys at work or at home, where they
belong.
How many sex toys do you own?
Considering that I have a 1500 square foot studio devoted to sex
play, it's safe to say I have hundreds of them, collected over
the past 25 years. Ernest had a lot of them when I met him and
we've added to it over the past seven years.
KYLIE
IRELAND
What's
your favorite sex toy and why?
Men.
Okay, fine…Among my favorites are a couple silicone dildos (I
have a latex allergy), one that is smooth, more normal sized and
of a marbled blue and white color, one that is a short fatty
silicone guy, and my Njoy with which I am teaching myself the
art of squirting. Of course, no girl should be without the
Hitachi Magic Wand, it’s fast, to the point and brilliant. Oh,
and I own a Sybian.
Do you name
your sex toys?
I do
not—however, I have been formally introduced to a couple of Nina
Hartley’s that do have names.
What's the
strangest object you have used for a sex toy?
Doing
movies you encounter weird stuff from time to time (vegetables
and fruit often), which I refuse to do. Food is bad for your
pussy and will throw off your good/bad bacteria balance! I have
a girlfriend who had some interesting shaped perfume bottles she
would entertain herself with. She was also fond of shampoo
bottles, which I never understood. I guess I am just not one
for stuffing strange stuff in my twat.
Where’s the
strangest place you’ve ever played with your sex toy?
I sat
beside a hotel swimming pool quietly using a couple of vibrating
bullets once. One in my ass, one on my clit under my bikini
bottoms. I hid the controls under the edge of the towel and
baked in the warm sunshine having orgasm after orgasm. And no
one knew.
Do you use sex
toys while stuck in traffic?
I keep a
Pocket Rocket in my glove box, but I hear that is pretty
common. Hey, a girl has to keep herself entertained in all that
traffic in Los Angeles!
How many sex
toys do you own?
Countless.
No really. When you direct movies you have to keep tons of them
around… but really, can a girl ever have too many toys?
JANA
JORDAN
What's
your favorite sex toy and why?
I have
this little pink vibrator that’s glittery. I like it because
it’s small, but it gets the job done.
Do you name
your sex toys?
Nope.
What's the
strangest object you have used for a sex toy?
Probably a
bell pepper once!
Where’s the
strangest place you’ve ever played with your sex toy?
On an
airplane. I was bored and it was really late at night, so most
of the people on the plane were asleep.
Do you use sex
toys while stuck in traffic?
No, but I
have used my fingers.
How many sex
toys do you own?
Over 50.
CARMEN
LUVANA
What's
your favorite sex toy and why?
The Adam &
Eve Magic Massager, because it never dies, you can always just
plug it in to the wall, and it’s so damn powerful!
Do you name
your sex toys?
My best
friends.
What's the
strangest object you have used for a sex toy?
Wow, maybe
humping my pillow when I was younger.
Where is the
strangest place you have ever played with your sex toy?
In my car.
I love to have sex and use toys in wild and crazy places—it
makes it more exiting.
Do you use sex
toys while stuck in traffic?
Hell yeah!
How many sex
toys do you own?
Are you
kidding me, I have a closet full of them. If I had to guess,
with everything I have collected probably around 45-50 toys.
TRINA
MICHAELS
What's
your favorite sex toy and why?
I used to
really be into the ones like the rabbit, where it has the
vibrator on your clit and the twirling dildo part you put inside
you. I kind of stopped using that. Though, I actually just
didn’t masturbate for awhile.
Now, I
usually use a regular vibrator dildo. I have two that I really
love, but I have no idea what they are called or who makes them.
I think I got one in a gift bag from a porn release party. And,
the other one I think I bought at an adult store in West Palm
Beach, Florida when I was dancing there, because I needed some
toys for my show. The reason I love them so much is because they
vibrate really strong and I love how they make my clit feel.
Do you name
your sex toys?
No, I’ve
never done that.
What's the
strangest object you have used for a sex toy?
I don’t
think I have ever told this story until now. So here it goes. I
used to work in an office at the front desk and all the claims
adjusters were out and my direct manager had left early. So, I
was there all alone and totally horny, but I couldn’t leave the
office unattended.
So I went
into the side office of the other manager (who was female by the
way), and pulled down my pants, sat on the edge of her desk and
spread my legs. While I was rubbing my clit, I noticed something
long on her desk and it was one of those permanent markers. I
have no idea what possessed me, but I went into the supply
cabinet and grabbed one of those markers and went back to her
desk. I fucked myself with the marker, as I massaged my clit.
I should
add I used the big end of the marker and not the end with the
cap on it. After I was through cumming all over the marker I
threw it away I didn’t want someone else using it later to write
out claims with.
Where is the strangest place you have ever played with your sex
toy?
Well,
again at the same office. I did go in the bathroom from time to
time and sit in one of the stalls and get myself off. But that
was just with my fingers.
As for
using an actual toy, I left this egg shaped vibrating thing in
my ass once when I went to Petco. It was kind of fun walking
around all the people while getting myself off.
Do you use sex
toys while stuck in traffic?
Hell yes.
Actually I make frequent drives back and forth to Northern
California and I am in the car by myself for about four hours. I
keep a little Pocket Rocket in my glove box for those times when
I feel a little sleepy and need something to make me up.
How many sex
toys do you own?
Oh, I
don’t know. Being the good porn girl, I have a whole bag full in
my trunk. But, those are mostly just for the set. I have a strap
on that I really like to use on girls. Of course, there’s a
Pocket Rocket in my car and I have a bathroom bag for when I am
traveling that has toys.
BREE
OLSON
What's
your favorite sex toy and why?
Well I am
very particular with my sex toys, but I am also pretty simple. I
like the smooth hard vibrators. But it varies in what I do with
it. Sometimes, I like it in my pussy or on my clit, and other
times one in my ass. And sometimes, I like one in my ass, one in
my pussy and use one on my clit at the same time.
Do you name
your sex toys?
You know,
Mr. Good Bar is keeping me good company right now.
What's the
strangest object you have used for a sex toy?
When I was
younger I didn’t have the option of going to buy toys. I went
through so many curling irons it was crazy, I can only imagine
what my parents must have thought. I would also use spray
bottles, anything I could find in my room. But the best was I
had this vanity with a matching mirror and chair. Well one day I
noticed the legs on that chair, so I screwed it off and fucked
my ass with it. I wanted to fuck my ass all the time. My parents
had to wonder why there were only three legs on that chair for
about six months.
Where’s the
strangest place you’ve ever played with your sex toy?
I’ve used
them in airport bathrooms before and on airplanes I don’t know
what it is about an airport. I also have this Pocket Rocket—I
put it in my panties and walk around town with it on.
Do you use sex
toys while stuck in traffic?
I don’t if
I am driving, but if I am the passenger I usually get bored on
the freeway so I’ll pull out a toy and masturbate.
How many sex
toys do you own?
I probably
own about 100 now. When I go to do a scene or a photo shoot,
they provide the toys and I get to keep them. I wouldn’t want to
them to throw the toys away, you know. Now that I work for Adam
& Eve, I could get arm loads of toys.
CASEY
PARKER
What's
your favorite sex toy and why?
California
Exotic Novelties—I have the Casey Parker line. And yes in fact,
I do use them. I prefer my vibrators. I am a water girl. I had
my first orgasm with the faucet.
What's the
strangest object you have used for a sex toy?
A jumbo
marker. That’s how I actually popped my hymen. That’s how I
horny I was.
Do you use sex
toys while stuck in traffic?
Yeah, I
have one that charges in my lighter in my car.
How many sex
toys do you own?
I own
about 50 sex toys. I keep them in suit case under the bed.
NAUTICA
THORN
What's
your favorite sex toy and why?
That would
be my Hitachi Magic Wand, because it just does the job whenever
I need it. It is always plugged into my wall and ready to go, if
need be.
Do you name
your sex toys?
I’ve never
named my toys, but I do think of them as my boyfriends.
What's the
strangest object you have used for a sex toy?
The shower
head.
Where’s the
strangest place you’ve ever played with your sex toy?
I’ve done
it while driving, but also taking a shower. One time, I used a
toy while doing an interview.
Do you use sex
toys while stuck in traffic?
Yes of
course, it makes the waiting a whole lot better to deal with.
How many sex
toys do you own?
A big
moving box full of my toys
