Since its invention in Victorian times, the history of the vibrator has skipped between medical use and the porn world. It's really in the last 15-20 years that vibrators have come out of the closet and have been embraced as the fantastic playthings they are.
Before this, a woman using a vibrator was seen as either hysterical, sex-starved, sex-crazed, bitterly single, or just plain sad. She was also in dire peril of becoming desensitised or addicted to vibrator sex, unable to enjoy “proper” sex ever again.
Thankfully (and in no small part down to Sh!), a vibe's buzz is now something every woman & vulva-owner is free to explore and enjoy.
Vibrators Help Women Orgasm
1 in 3 women find orgasms tricky during penetrative sex. Another 1 in 10 find them frustratingly impossible to come by. Even orgasmic women take their time, with most requiring at least 20 minutes of the right kind of stimulation before they climax.
Learning how to ‘do it,’ as well as learning to recognise the feelings leading up to orgasm, are the first liberating steps into discovering different ways to orgasm. The upside is that the female orgasm is longer and stronger than the male equivalent when it does arrive.
Hands, tongues and bodies tire, but a well-charged vibrator never does. Delivering 200 oscillations per minute, a vibe can provide the constant and sustained stimulation that allows many women to tip over the edge.
Many women have their first orgasm with a vibrator.
For many women, their vibrator equals a guaranteed orgasm, whether alone or with a partner. Not all sex has to culminate in a climax (for either party). But, if it’s a case of frustration and disappointment vs bringing out your favourite vibe, then we say ‘bring out the vibe’!
Vibrators Enhance Couples’ Sex
Around 75%-80% of women & vulva-owners don’t orgasm through penetration alone. Most of us need extra clitoral stimulation to tip us over the edge during intercourse. It can be hard to coordinate, as well as tiring to do this manually. However, a well-placed vibrator can make adding clitoral thrills easy-peasy!
Not just for clitorises, a vibrator’s buzz can feel good on all erogenous zones; nipples, necks, inner thighs, bums, penises – you name it!
A vibrator provides focused sensations that many women – and men – find intensely stimulating. It’s a different sort of sensation from any other and worth exploring. A vibrator can enhance all erotic play, and more and more couples are enjoying toys together.
With vibrators losing their taboo and with so many stylish and discreet vibes on the market today, introducing toys to partnered sex has never been easier.
