Good vibrations

There are countless toys available on the market these days for sexual pleasure.  If you can imagine it, then chances are you’ll either find it in your local adult retailer or on a website.  The most popular and common by far would still have to be the humble vibrator. 

The vibrator has somewhat changed its form these days from a straight hard plastic stick, with the invention of technology that allows the creators of these lovely tools of pleasure to give different sensations through the different materials used as the outer layer.

Vibrators can be used not only just by women, but men too.  Some men really get off through the vibrations on their cock or testes.  They are extremely useful for women who have trouble reaching orgasm as well as a fantastic masturbation tool.  The two basic types of vibe are the wand and dildo.  The wand style usually has long handles with the various controls on them. The end has a pad that vibrates and can be used again the clit, penis or wherever you want to touch it to.  They also plug into the wall and contain a seriously powerful motor. 

The more common of the two is the dildo style vibe.  These vibes are mostly shaped like a penis and are battery driven.  They can be inserted into the vagina or anus, or used on the clit or anywhere else that’s interesting.  Dildo style vibes come in all shapes, sizes, and colours and are made of plastic, silicone, latex, or rubber.  All these different materials give a different feeling.  Some come with added extras for more stimulation.  These include a rotating head, balls in the shaft that rotate round, beads in the shaft that all move around with the vibrations, or even a tickler that can be used on the clit or anus.  This can leave your other hand free for other activity.

You can also obtain accessories for your basic plastic vibe.  Specially designed sleeves slip over your vibe to add that extra something.  Each sleeve is designed for a different purpose, like anal stimulation, finding the Gspot or (but not limited to) clitoral stimulation.  Again these accessories are made of different materials to give different sensations. 

If you are considering buying for the first time, then it’s probably best to look at a dildo style.  Most have a varying speed control, which makes it easier to control the vibe.  Don’t forget to pick up a bottle of lubricant too.  Water based is always best, as they won’t affect the vibe.  It’s always best to use lube on anything you want to insert into any part of your body, and never immerse your vibe in water.

Vibrators add a new dimension to your lovemaking and masturbation sessions, as there are so many varieties out there today.  I highly recommend buying one if you’ve ever thought about it but never actually done it.  It’s a great way to spice up your sex life.
