Toygasms! (11 page)

You can use a vibrator to lightly massage your muscles and body parts, or to directly stimulate your erogenous zones. Many women achieve intense orgasms much more quickly with vibrators than with manual methods. Vibrators also help create a more powerful build-up to orgasm, allowing you to finish with another preferred technique. And while you might be perfectly satisfied with a different method for achieving orgasms, why not give vibrators a try? Variety is the spice of life!

No batteries required—just plug these “personal massagers” into the wall and you’re off! You’ll find quality brand-name models at department stores, electronic gizmo shops and lingerie boutiques—although sales staff will be more knowledgeable at reputable sex toy shops (and you’ll be less embarrassed asking!). These shops also stock the widest range of accessories.

Electric models provide extreme pleasure to your entire body, not just your erogenous zones. You’ll enjoy their penetrating
and diffuse vibrations, whether it’s to soothe your aching back, or your aching loins. They tend to be larger than battery-operated models, and much more powerful, so be sure to take your time before working up to full vaginal or penile contact. And of course, keep them out of the bathtub or shower!

Hand Wands

The most popular and recognizable electric model, hand wands are less than a foot long, with an easy-to-grip handle and a vibrating head about the size of a tennis ball. You can control the frequency of the vibrations, either soft or fast in some models, or like a dimmer switch in other models. Start off easy! The fast speeds can be uncomfortable in the beginning, but the slow vibrations can be heavenly. Set your vibrator to slow, and tease the insides of your thighs before making direct contact with your clitoris. Also consider placing a wash cloth in between yourself and the vibrator or keeping your panties on when you first try it—the vibrations could be too intense.

Hand wands deliver such an intense vibration, they are often the right prescription for pre-orgasmic women to help them achieve their first orgasms. They
can also help postmenopausal women bring their libido back to life.

Pleasure-amplifying attachments are made specifically for these models and fit over the ball-shaped head. For women, there are straight, smooth 3” to 4” phallic shapes, or a curved design that reaches your G-spot. Many women claim this simultaneous clitoral and G-spot stimulation to be the best. For men, options include a special “cup” attachment to stimulate the head of the penis which makes for thunderous orgasms.

Double Headers

If you like strong simultaneous genital and anal stimulation, these models will give you the jolts of a lifetime. Double headed electric models resemble the standard hand wands, but with two tennis ball-sized heads and plenty of vibrating power. And the heads are spaced just right for the vigorous dual-action workout you crave.

Swedish Pleasurizers

For skin-to-skin contact, strap this classic design over the back of your hand and let your fingers and palm vibrate you to orgasmic bliss. Men have used this model with success, although it makes the stroking action a bit cumbersome. For women who love to masturbate with their fingers, but want a new variation that’s easier to
use than a Swedish massager, check out the Finger Fitters in this chapter.

Whispering Coils

Shhhh.
If noise is an issue, plug in a coil-electric vibrator. Its tantalizing vibrations come from an electromagnetic coil, and some models even resemble a small hair dryer. Experiment with the half-dozen or so attachments for playful variety and precise stimulation. Now you can be assured that your vibrator will be whisper quiet—but will YOU?

Sadie Sez:

An electric vibrator is a golden treasure for women who have trouble orgasming.

Imagine... vibrators without the tether of an electric cord! Today’s popular battery-powered sex toys come in an amazing array of shapes, sizes and colors, ready to deliver the extraordinary pleasure you want. Several attachments even let you customize your toy by changing its shape and texture, and special sleeves allow you to insert it for wild new tingly sensations. Experiment and surprise yourself!

Portables don’t always have the vibration power of plug-ins, but you won’t be disappointed at the power and features available today. You’ll find most battery-powered models offer several speeds—or you can opt for the variable control switch, and set your own vibration frequency exactly how you like it. The latest models offer even more bells and whistles—like pulsation patterns and intensity control—which sounds like overkill at first, until you give them a try! Some models come with a hand-held controller connected to the toy by a wire—giving your partner a fun device to ramp up your pleasure. But self-contained units make one-handed solo play a lot easier, leaving your other hand free to roam.

Keep in mind that the type of vibration or movement tends to create greater pleasure than the size of the toy. The challenge is finding the models that satisfy you. Start by considering what
you really want: portability, bathtub play, realism, simultaneous vaginal/clitoral or vaginal/anal stimulation—then let your imagination run wild! I’ll help you sort it out.

Love Eggs

For powerful clitoral sensations, egg-shaped vibrators are the first choice among most women. Sometimes called bullet vibrators, they come in many oval shapes, from slimmer to longer and rounder. Plenty of colors, too. You control your own sensations with a small hand-held device as you cradle and move the egg all over your clitoris. They’re not designed for insertion, but lots of other models are.

Sadie Sez:

With an egg pressed against your chin or cheeks, your whole face and tongue become an instant vibrator. Got any ideas what you might do now??

Ol’ Reliables

Cylindrical vibrators are among the most commonly used vibrators. Some are smooth, others look like an erect penis, but either way, they provide a steady stream of external and internal stimulation. They usually range in size from four to eight inches long, and approximately one and a quarter inches in diameter. You’ll usually find the variable speed control at the base.

Realistic

Similar to the lifelike dildos in the previous chapter, these vibrators have many of the anatomical features of an actual penis: veins, realistic skin texture, testicles—The Works! They add a nice twist for those who love their penetration with vibration and the touch of realism.
