Ding!
The husband is an idiot, religious or not. People masturbate, period. This chick is gonna dial O on the pink telephone with a toy or other inanimate object. Hell, she could go old school and use her hand. Deal with it asshole.
A suggestion for her.......the both of them should go to a sex positive adult store. There are a lot of stores that sell dongs and bullets, but not all are sex positive. Lovers Lane is a terrible store. They are all based on commission, so they don't really give a shit about your needs. They want to sell you what is gonna give them a bigger check. Additionally, many porn stores aren't geared to a womans needs. Many are for fellas to by porn, trucked to get their jerk off needs met. These are the ones most ladies think of when you mention adult store. Skeevy, dirty, full of perverts. Avoid those at all costs. When you want to buy a toy you are gonna use on your intimate lady bits, the last thing you want is some asshats gawking at you, mumbling to himself, and probably playing pocket pool.
I know your friend is in Cali, and I may have to do some research, but I will try to find a good store her and her husband can go to together. If the shop for a toy together, he may feel a bit more secure. Hell, he may even enjoy the experience. Here in Chicago, there is a store called Early to Bed. Great store, great staff, and the owner is an amazingly supportive woman who wants to help people enjoy themselves. I highly recommend Early to Bed (
http://www.early2bed.com/). They have toys for the ladies, packers and straps for the transgendered, and condoms and other accoutrements you may need. There is another store similar to Early to Bed in Milwaukee called The Toolbox.
The important thing is your friend and her husband need to talk about it. They need to play with each other, and themselves, both together and separately. That is the best way to know what you like, and then communicate that to their partner. It is about love and communication, and if there is no communication, how can they know what the other likes?
