More than half of women and nearly half of men have used a vibrator as part of their sex play, according to a blog post by sex educator Cory Silverberg. That's compared to only 1% of people way back in the 70's (but I'm guessing most people lied, using a vibrator back then would have been considered completely embarrassing, worse than having a bra strap show).
What is it about vibrators that make them so much fun? Well, everyone has a different reason for using them. It is interesting to note that a lot of couples that I see in my practice don't use vibrators, even though many fit the most common demographic according to Xandria (white, Christian, Republican women). I find that many people fear that a vibrator will replace intimacy in the bedroom, but that's just not true.
If you're in the group that has never used a vibrator, or if you need some inspiration to dust off the one hidden in your bedroom drawer, here is some inspiration in my top 10 list:
- Vibrators feel good. Vibrators tickle the nerves and build great tension in the genitals, which feels fantastic when it is released.
- They are efficient. If a woman (or man, for that matter) feels a little too tired but still wants to have pleasure, a vibrator can help get the job done without much effort.
- They help a woman understand her body. Stimulation with a vibrator can help a woman figure out just how much stimulation and where she needs it to have a good orgasm. Check out this little finger model by Trojan.
- Different types can help someone explore all sorts of orgasm. There are vibrators for clitoral, G-spot, and anal play.
- Vibrators are fun. They come in literally all different colors, shapes, and sizes.
- Vibrators can help a man explore his genitals, too.
Lastly, neither partner should feel threatened by the desire to bring a toy into bed. It's just that--a toy--and it will never replace the warmth of a close, caring relationship. But, if you're single, it's a pretty damn good second!

Vibrators during couples play is awesome sometimes.... ads some great sensations.

A vibrator can make intercourse more fun. With a man from behind position, a woman can easily use a vibrator on her clitoris. Or try one of the new vibrating rings, worn on a man's penis and designed for mutual pleasure.
