I've written before about hand injuries from masturbation. Why do I have to work that hard? Because I'm trans and have had sex reassignment surgery. Lady T and some Burner buddies at Beaverton have confirmed that needing to work harder than usual is common among Girls Like Us, but in my case at least it's so bad that I'm hurting myself. For better or worse, it's in a new place on my hand this time, not my wrist but the second knuckle of my index finger. Dominant hand, of course.
I've long since come up with specs for my ideal sex utensil: "vibration" at a frequency of 3-8Hz, amplitude around 1cm. Those figures are too low and too high, respectively for anything that any reasonable human calls a vibrator. They are too high and too low, respectively, for the one device I've seen called a sex machine. Oh yeah: I'd like to be able to use it while lying on my back, but that may not be a deal breaker.
What to do? Ask a local crew of internet perverts, of course. Two of them responded, quickly, with the same recommendation: Hismith. They sell what they call sex machines. The maximum frequency they advertise is within my range, but the "stroke length" is about double the 1cm I spec'd above.
Have I rushed out and bought one yet? No, but I just might after I pay off my coffee table. And use while lying down is something Hismith designs for.
Meanwhile, I've been icing my finger. It's a good thing my progesterone has been shipped up from Arizona with (what start out as frozen) gel packs.
But really, I like "Get On the Good Foot" better.
