1. A Harry Potter wand

A *surprising* number of people said they used a plastic Harry Potter wand to make a little magic of their own.

"My first experience with aided masturbation was with a Squiggle pen. Seriously. (To ease concern: No penetration was involved.)" – Anonymous

One or two people used a straightener, but the curling tong was by far the more popular choice.

No matter the tool though, one message came through loud and clear: Make sure it is turned off before you put it anywhere near your private parts.

6. A banana

"I have used a few things in my time. Hairbrush handles, cucumbers, the neck of a wine bottle. The worst one for me was a banana. I didn't put a condom on it and it split inside me. Oh my gosh. The pain. Bananas HURT." – Anonymous
