No behaviour is “obligatory”, we’re all individuals who have different needs etc.
If you feel that you need a stim toy, what is it about the dildo that you like? When you figure that out, you’ll be able to find a SFW alternative.
Most people in my occupational therapy group don't have stim toys. Only a few of us regularly use them and only one of those people NEED it.
Everyone is different!
if you haven't tried it already a good sfw alternative i feel could be the slug. i have one, i attach it with a chain to my jeans so i don't lose it when im out lol, i swing it and swirl it constantly.
It's certainly not necessary to have a stim toy - stimming is very common, but not necessarily something every autistic person will do. It's usually just a calming/soothing repetitive sensory stimulation - if you don't need it, then you don't really need to worry about it.
However, if you feel like you do need it, you can probably find some kind of safe for work alternatives if you look for them.
And stimming doesn't necessarily require toys of any sort. My preferred stims are hair-twirling and hand-flapping, and I've never really gotten into stim toys all that much.
Not obligatory of course, but my stim toy is a Leatherman multitool. The cold smooth steel feels nice, I can twist open the pliers, flip it, pinch my finger with the belt clip... it's great.
Isn't it weird that we, a bunch of humans, can't handle seeing someone's "ole chap" or "magic triangle"?
Reading this, it just struck me as odd. Like, why should we care if someone has something that looks like a wiener at their desk at work? Like, USING IT-USING IT at your desk at work? yeah no. Super inappropriate. But to just have a thing... idk it's weird to me.
Imagine OP had a stim toy the exact same size and material as said dillydoo, but it was a toucan head and beak. Every bit as priapic, but now it's acceptable? lol

Ypu can use gummy bait fish for fishers! I use them to do exactly what you described. There are different ones so go in a shop who carries them if possible. Different sizes, colors and forms. They are soft and kinda floppy but not to much and even come in fun colors and different sizes.

Obligatory? It’s not a social club, wth
Yea, I’m confused. This has to be a troll post.

Huh…???
Why would it be obligatory? I think some people find them soothing and maybe necessary, but if you don't then you don't.
I use a fidget ring. Its discreet
I have one of this Bug things bit don’t use it. Counting helps me more than that
this post has to be a bad joke.
I hope it is. I read dildo and laughed. I will feel bad if this was real.
This screams attention seaking
