Who Uses Vibrators?
Short answer? Heterosexual women, heterosexual men, gay women, gay men, trans women, trans men, intersex people, them, they, us, you... catch my drift? People of all genders, sexual persuasions, across all age groups and cultures, enjoy vibrators together, alone, and sometimes in groups. So, where did this excellent sex aid come from? Why is it so popular? And most importantly, which vibrator is right for you?
Doctor, Doctor.
As far as we know, doctors in the Victorian era invented vibrators. They were first used as a treatment for anxiety after medical professionals grew tired of administering their prescription of pelvic finger massage to relieve symptoms in women who suffered ‘hysteria’ – or sexual frustration as it is now called. These clever doctors in the 19th century were sending women home with vibrators to treat themselves, and to begin with; the vibrator was considered a medical device. Early vibrators were advertised in newspapers and magazines, and there was no shame attached to owning one. Obviously, women were smart enough to use them outside of medical treatment – and I’m guessing loads of men were using them too.
Busted!
In the 1920’s they popped up in some of the first porn films, and at that point, no one could pretend any longer that they were not being used as sex toys rather than as a medical treatment. This, unfortunately, led to them no longer being prescribed and disappearing from common view. In the 1960s, the vibrator again emerged out of the shadows as the sex toy for liberated women. Back then, they were only ever shaped like a penis and were largely, well, large! Now, of course, sex toys like the Rabbit are hugely popular, don’t resemble a penis, and definitely get you off anyway.
These days the vibrator is a very commonly used sex toy, and there are many different shapes and sizes available. You also don’t need to be female or hysterical to reap the benefits or pleasures of incorporating a vibrator into your daily routine, solo sex play, or as a little something extra to elevate playtime with partners, friends, or groups.

Which Vibrator Is Right For Me?
Because there is now such a wide range of quality sex toys, it pays to do a little research before choosing which vibrator is best for you. The first thing you should look for in a vibrator is medical grade silicone construction; this means your sex toy will be hygienic and safe. Because this type of silicone gets poured into the vibrator mould as a liquid, the results are as smooth as silk; this means no rough edges or places for bacteria to grow. With medical-grade silicone, you can be confident that your vibrator can stand a good long session without damaging your delicate body parts, so that’s a great jumping-off point when you start shopping for the best sex toy for you.
The next thing to think about is where you plan to put your vibrator! For instance, a vibrator that will be used to introduce your male partner to the joys of prostate massage may not be the best option when your size queen female friend just wants to be penetrated hard and fast. So think about whether you need to start small, if you are maybe a medium, whether you are using your vibrator to warm up a clitoris – or if you or your sex partner are even interested in being penetrated.
Am I an Inny or
an Outy?
Buying the best vibrator to meet your needs can depend on whether you want to be stimulated inside your anus or vagina, around the rim, on the clitoris or labia – or around the shaft or tip of your penis. Lots of people like to mix it up, so it may be that you will need a drawer full of sex toys. If you want to use a Prostate Massager inside the anus of a male partner, then it’s probably best to keep your anal toys separate from the ones you are using to stimulate a clitoris.
Finding your speed, size and preferences as you go along is okay – just be sure that you are not penetrating someone’s ass and then slipping your vibrator straight into a vagina. Basic hygiene is paramount, and an intelligent aficionado will ensure they have different vibrators that precisely fit their purpose. Failing that, you must clean your vibrator thoroughly according to the manufacturer’s instructions – and using a condom is a great way to add an extra layer of safety to your playthings. Also lube! Buy lube! Buy more lube than you think you should! Using a vibrator without sufficient lube is a recipe for disaster, particularly when it comes to ass play – do yourself a favour and keep everything wet.
