National Masturbation Month: The history of the vibrator
The fixed tail keeps it in just the right place and at just the right angle for the kind of O’s you really deserve. “Solo play allows for leaning into pleasure without having to think about anything else. It’s a good opportunity to find out for yourself what your pleasure potential is and how you get there. This can be really empowering ,” explains Rachel Zar, LMFT, CST, a relationship and sex therapist at Spark Chicago Therapy and Northwestern Medicine Center for Sexual Medicine & Menopause. All the tone in the world doesn’t mean much if a guitar plays like a log.
While in some cases, you get what you pay for, “there absolutely are sex toys for under $50 that are safe and well-made,” says Wright. Many of the budget-friendly options below are great for beginners, as luxury toys can have too many intimidating bells and whistles. It’s only about the size of a pinky (3.35 inches) and has 15 vibration patterns for a wide range of sensations.
“My wife and I have known about this wands for a long time, but I finally decided it was time we get one since she is highly dependant on clitoral stimulation to reach climax. Believe me when I say if you have a clitoris, you want one of these,” wrote one reviewer. I have never been into masturbation and self pleasure … After hearing from one of my female partners about a biird product, I decided to buy the Namii. The material and colour are amazing, it looks cute and fancy on my nightstand and its functionality is absolutely fantastic. I kid you not, it has given me orgasms as quickly as 10 seconds into using it,” one five-star reviewer wrote.
While I came really hard using the Motobunny, I have to admit that I felt equal parts silly and like the queen of the world masturbating by sitting on a saddle next to my bed. People with penises may want to consider this stroker mount for some hands-free action. Slip your favorite Fleshlight into the slot viberator, get on top, and go to town. It may seem pricey, especially given that you must buy a Fleshlight separately, but it holds well up to thrusting and is a much classier solution than jamming your Fleshlight between your mattress and your box spring. For new sexplorers, try starting on the lowest intensity setting and increasing as desired. Play around with Puff’s position, orientation, pressure, and intensity to find a spot that works for you!
This toy, however, was designed specifically for prostate play, so of course it does so very well. In addition to vibrating, this toy’s internal arm moves up and down in a “come hither” motion to massage your prostate. The arms don’t work independently of each other, but the 10 vibration settings and overall satisfaction with using this makes up for it. The Lovense Nora is a fantastic rabbit vibe, featuring strong and rumbly vibrations, a flexible clitoral arm, and a rotating shaft that can massage the G-spot.
