Chapter 14: Savoring Solo Play and Fantasy

In my opinion, a vibrator is great for learning how to have an orgasm if you can’t do it with just your hands. A vibrator is also very good for giving yourself a special treat now and again. But if you plan on having sex with a man sometime in the future, then don’t make a habit out of using only a vibrator to have your orgasms. Vary the techniques you use so that, when sex becomes a shared experience with a man, you’ll be in peak form.

Plug-in vibrators

Plug-in vibrators are the most powerful ones available; some women find them too powerful. Many plug-in vibrators are marketed as body massagers.

Undoubtedly, some people use them only as body massagers, but certainly a great portion of their sales are to women who use them to stimulate the area around the clitoris. Still very popular among the brands of plug-in vibrators is the Hitachi Magic Wand (see Figure 14-1), but the variety of vibrators now available makes choosing one as difficult as figuring out what model car you want. Vibrators come in all sizes and shapes, including one that’s shaped like a rubber ducky for the bath, and another shaped like a worm. Some devices are lighted, some give off heat, and one even ejaculates. You can also purchase attachments that can help to pinpoint the vibrations on a particular spot: the clitoris.

The Eroscillator is a plug-in type, but instead of vibrating, it oscillates, up to 3,600 times a minute, which provides different and intense sensations that women who’ve tried it say they prefer. This device has several heads and, because it comes with a step-down transformer, is safe to use around water.

Other plug-ins include the double-headed massagers and the coil-operated vibrators. The double-headed machines multiply the possibilities (such as stimulating the clitoris and anus at the same time), and a man can even place his penis between the two vibrators. The coil-operated vibrators (such as the Prelude, which was once one of the most popular vibrators but is now dis-continued, or the Wahl) are smaller than the wand-type, a lot quieter, and also more easily carried in a purse.

206 Part III: Different Strokes

Because the coil-operated vibrators were really developed more for sexual play than for massage, you have a long list of various attachments available to use. These attachments offer different types of stimulation, and I usually suggest to a woman that she try out several different varieties to discover which ones give her the most pleasure.

Battery-operated vibrators

Battery-operated vibrators are less expensive than the plug-in type, they’re more easily carried, and they offer more gentle vibrations — which can be a plus or a minus, depending on your particular needs.

Many battery-operated vibrators come in the shape of a penis and are called phallic-shaped. Because most women need clitoral stimulation, a penis-shaped vibrator is not a
