If we were meant to fly in airplanes, we wouldn't have been given feet to
walk on. If we were meant to use dildos, we wouldn't have been supplied
with the real thing.
Really though, why do you want her to use it? Why is it so important to
you? would you prefer, deep down, that it was a stranger and not you in
bed with her? If you wanted a similar appliance for your own fantasies, I
would understand. Why not just hire a male prostitute for her? It might
be more expensive, but it would certainly be more realistic.
In short, love your wife. If the idea of the dildo upsets her, don't raise
the subject again. If she is looking forward to a fantasy of some kind,
encourage that because you want her to be happy. But don't force on her a
fantasy of your own that she doesn't want.

Love, even the love of God, is only mediated through persons.

To my way of thinking, it is almost the same as the most dog-eared case in
the English Law Reports in the Law School library, usually called Lord
Audley's case (1631), summarized in a more readable form at

I am still trying to work out what Court it was in. Probably the House of
Lords, although the Steward and not the Lord Chancellor presided.

The difference between 'involvement' and 'commitment' is like an
eggs-and-ham breakfast: the chicken was 'involved' - the pig was
'committed'.
