I have to chuckle at your ingenuity in coming up the idea of using
an aquarium light bulb as a dildo. I'm sure it would work, as far as size
and shape are concerned. However, I have to warn you that (despite
the good fit) this is not a good idea! It could be very hazardous if it
were to break accidentally inside of your vagina.
You write that you
are too embarrassed to buy a "love toy." I think that if you were to
have an accident and wound up in the hospital Emergency Room, that
would be much more embarrassing than buying a toy from a sex shop.
Using a light bulb as a sex toy is not wrong or gross, per se. It is just
plain dangerous! I strongly suggest that you purchase a love toy that is
especially designed for the purpose of sexual pleasuring. You can
order such items from sex toy shops or sex boutiques, which also help
in finding the best one for you. One of my favorite places is Eve's
Garden in New York City. It is a store for women run by women. For
anonymity, you can even order over the Internet by clicking on
www.evesgarden.com/.
If this idea is still too embarrassing for you, at
least find a homemade toy that is not dangerous. Some women use
various vegetables, like small cucumbers (seedless is better) or
bananas, as disposable sex toys. Of course, they need to be washed
very well. Have fun, but stay safe.
