Some years back when I was heading out on a trip that would have me out of the country for some time, my girlfriend gave me the best gift a girl could give. I would be traveling alone and therefore apt to take my time with the male species while on the road. She handed me a little black suitcase filled with a lot of pleasure. When I opened it up, I didn’t quite know what it was since my previous vibrator was large, loud, shaped like the male package, and had bumps along the shaft for clitoral stimulation. In other words, it was a great substitute for the real thing when the real thing wasn’t happening.

My girlfriend’s gift, the Fukuoku 9000, was a finger-shaped clitoral stimulator that was compact, slipped directly on my right finger, was made of soft silicone, and came with an extra battery. And while it didn’t have the potency that my big and bad vibrator had, it got the job done when I was sleeping in hostels where the walls didn’t hit the ceiling. It was a little bit loud at times, especially when the battery would run low and I would push harder in order to get the force I desired from a dying battery, but in all, I was usually satisfied for the quick fix in the clit stimulator department.

So if you’re thinking of a gift to give your traveling mate to keep her company while she discovers the open road, why not give her the finger—the good kind, of course.
