Anyone with experience??

Ok so I've got very little experience when it comes to sex in a lot of ways. My boyfriend is my only real sexual experience so everything I've learnt it's from him. Well we've ended up in an LDR so we're both pretty sexually frustrated. My boyfriend was visiting last week and asked if we should get me a sex toy. I've never been one to masturbate and since we've been apart we've tried to have 'sex' over Skype. I'm just not all that framiliar with the whole masturbation thing so he's been pretty big on me learning about my body and he thinks a sex toy could help (I also have a suspicion that he wants me to use it while skyping). I just have absolutely no idea what would be a good one to get. I don't really feel comfortable asking a friend because I just like keeping all that stuff private. So it's be great if someone could let me know what kinds of toys are good- I've got 0 experience with them. Thank you!
