BOB stands for Battery Operated Boyfriend, as in a vibrator. A gift for all women, particularly single women, though certainly not exclusively. In fact, a lot of women begin their journey with their BOBs once they’re in a relationship. Unless there’s with an insecure idiot who thinks that a woman shouldn’t need a vibrator when they’re in a relationship. Those dudes are duds. But most dudes, in my experience, are very receptive to vibrators and are happy to fuck you while you’re got something vibrating against your clit. For most straight dudes, the desire to see you come and come hard overrides any insecurity they may have about your need for a battery operated device. Especially since he can be the one holding it and maneuvering it to help make you come. He can totally be a part of that process. There’s also a whole other amazing type of guy who is not only fine with you using your vibe during sex, he’s actually super into it and sometimes insist on it. This is the kind of dude who will buy you vibrators and other sex toys for Valentine’s Day, who has toys of his own and has had them for years before you met, who is obviously super into all forms of pleasure and does not think of his dick as the star of the show.
This dude is a keeper. If you are lucky enough to find one of these guys, do NOT let him get away (unless he’s an asshole in every other way imaginable). There are plenty of people out there with mad sexual hang ups who will be more interested in stroking their own egos than pleasing you and helping you explore your sexuality.
You may not be able to take your BOB out to dinner (though you could go out to dinner with it in your purse and excuse yourself to the washroom every ten minutes), you can certainly get plenty of sexual fulfillment from it. If all teenage girls had BOBs they made not be so quick to jump in and stay in relationships that aren’t good for them, or do things sexually with their partner that they aren’t ready for. There’s a lot of pressure on girls to please their boyfriends sexually but many girls aren’t taught how to please themselves. I have friends who didn’t start having orgasms until they were in their early twenties and some who didn’t masturbate until their mid to late twenties. How are we suppose to orgasm with another person if we can’t make ourselves come? Some women come really easily and some even come directly from penetration, but those women are few and far between. Our BOBs can help us sexually educate ourselves and learn about how our bodies respond. This is a lifelong gift. Don’t take it for granted.
1. I can’t hang out; I have a date with my BOB.
2. The only shitty thing about having a Battery Operated Boyfriend is when the batteries die.
