One of the presentations the staff did while we were there was a discussion of the various brands of lubricants suitable for use in anal sex. One of my friends was very interested and asked a lot of questions, so the demo went on for quite some time. It was certainly more information than I will personally ever need about anal sex. <\/p>\n<p>In case you are wondering, the  main lesson about anal lube is that thicker and slipperier is better. <\/p>\n<p>For some reason, at the tattoo shop where I get my ink done, butt stuff is a frequent topic of discussion so at one point I told the story of the party and my friend&#8217;s intense interest in anal lube.<\/p>\n<p>Everyone was being quiet and listening intently, which was a little unusual. Finally someone said, &#8220;I don&#8217;t think I am sexually naive, but I had no idea that there was lube specifically for butt sex.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>One of the artists said &#8220;Haven&#8217;t you ever heard of Asssstroglide?&#8221;<br \/>\nAnd then came the laughter and jokes of a raunchiness level I have rarely encountered.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s good being a catalyst for reprehensible language and behavior.<\/p>\n<p>Eventually someone stopped and said &#8220;wait, wait&#8211;so did you get a gift certificate? What did you buy?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So I told them I did get a gift certificate, and was looking at a particular electric toy with a Hitachi brand on it. One of my friends turned to me and said something like &#8220;my rice cooker is a Hitachi, and I&#8217;ve never had a bit of trouble with it. Reliability is important.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So I got it.<\/p>\n<p>Everyone at the tattoo shop agreed that you wouldn&#8217;t want to be let down at just the wrong moment so it&#8217;s important to buy quality products.<\/p>\n<p>I still have it.<\/p>\n<p>My friend was right. Hitachi is a very reliable brand. <\/p>\n<p><meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/><br \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@site_username\" \/><br \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:title\" content=\"Michelle's House of Horrors\" \/><br \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:description\" content=\"Perhaps.
