That is actually an excellent use. That's the first I've heard of that one.

Finding a better therapist would help. Also finding the right people to vent to. Some people handle it better than others. You can try even saying, "hey, I'm not looking for advice, I just need to vent, would you mind being an ear?" at least that way you have their permission and they understand that they aren't expected to fix whatever the issue is. Controlling who you vent to is also a good way to prevent venting to the wrong asshole who can't shut their mouth.
I know you said no Journaling, but also consider a journal app on your phone or even just a Google docs. It's a discreet way to vent briefly.

It's likely something you'll never read again and it's about letting out the frustration more than anything.

I would hope that in our modern age with more access to privately get sex toys (thanks to the internet) that most people would not resort to using vegetables. However, is someone saw buying sex toys as somehow "wrong" then they might.
That men should be able to fix things and be mechanically inclined.
Nails. Like the kind you hammer in. I hate them. They always come out and you have to hammer them in again eventually. Screws are the way to go.
