What Are Vibrators?
Vibrators: What to Know
Vibrators are sex toys that are used on the body to create sexual stimulation. Modern vibrators, also known as massagers, use electronic power to create vibrations or pulses. Vibrators come in many shapes and sizes.
Vibrators are used by placing the device on sensitive erogenous zones, which are places on your body that increase sexual pleasure. They can be used externally on the penis, vulva, clitoris, and anus, or can be used internally in the anus or vagina. Continued stimulation can create feelings of sexual pleasure and may eventually lead to orgasm.
Why People Like Them
Vibrators can increase feelings of sexual pleasure and make orgasms easier to achieve. Scientists aren't entirely sure why vibrators feel good, but vibrators can help both men and women orgasm more quickly. Different people may prefer different intensity levels of vibration, and some people may be more sensitive to vibration than others. There are many different types of vibrators, so some may be better suited for certain people than others.
Some surveys show that almost half of women are unhappy with their frequency of reaching orgasm. Orgasms release the hormone oxytocin, which can create feelings of affection or social bonding and may increase feelings of happiness.
How to Use Vibrators Safely
Vibrators are safe to use. Research shows that side effects related to vibrator use are extremely rare.
There are many different styles of vibrators. Some styles are meant for insertion, while others are not. Additionally, some may vibrate more strongly than others. Some vibrators plug into the wall, while others are battery-operated. You may want to do some research to pick a vibrator that will satisfy your needs, although many vibrators have a variety of possible uses and vibration strength settings.
Lube may also help make vibrator use more pleasurable. It's important to make sure that the lube is compatible with your toy. Usually, water-based lubes are best.
It's also important to read the directions of the vibrator before using it. Don't insert vibrators anally if the vibrator is not meant for anal insertion.
Talking to your partner about trying vibrators
You can use vibrators alone or with a partner. You may find that these toys help increase your physical excitement before intercourse, or may help you achieve orgasm. When talking with your partner, you may find it helpful to explain that using a vibrator may help you achieve certain sensations that aren't possible without it.
It may be helpful to familiarize yourself with your vibrator before using it with a partner. Play around with the different settings, and figure out different spots on your body that may feel good.
