Using a vibrator to enhance sexual satisfaction is one of the best things you can do to really spice up your sex life.  There are so many myths surrounding the use of vibrators, let’s debunk some of those myths first.

Vibrator Myth Number One:

Myth:  A man should be able to make a woman orgasm with just his hands, tongue, or penis.

Truth:  Some women can’t have an orgasm with less than 3,000 rpm. No human tongue or fingers can generate that kind of vibration. “If the only way that a woman can achieve orgasm is with a vibrator, she’s not broken,” acclaimed sex educator, Tristan Taormino states.  “Think of a vibrator as your assistant, not your substitute. Many couples use vibrators together. “While you’re doing one thing, or two things, the vibrator can be doing something else,”

Vibrator Myth Number Two:

Myth:  You can get addicted to your vibrator.

Truth:  Okay, some of us can “feel” like we are addicted to our vibrators, but we don’t actually get addicted to them.  If you can achieve orgasm without them, you will still be able to achieve orgasm without them no matter how often you use them.

Vibrator Myth Number Three:

Myth:  A vibrator replaces the need for “real” sex.

Truth:  Absolutely not true.  Having sex with a partner fulfills many needs that a vibrator will never hold a candle to.  Emotional intimacy, physical affection from a warm body will never be replaced with a sex toy.

Now that we’ve cleared up some of the myths, let’s look at some ways to enhance sexual satisfaction by using a vibrator.

• Use a vibrator for foreplay. A woman needs a longer amount of time to warm up for sexual intercourse, using a vibrator will help warm her up faster and more thoroughly.

• Use a vibrator during oral sex. Having a vibrator for oral sex can really add some heat for a man or a woman!  Use the vibrator to stimulate her vagina, her clitoris, or anal opening while you orally attend to her.  For a man, use the vibrator up and down his penis, on his testicles, perineum and anal opening and he’ll be begging for more.

• Use a vibrator during intercourse. Most women can’t orgasm with intercourse alone.  Using a vibrator to stimulate her clitoris can really make it happen though.  Also, using the vibrator to stimulate him during intercourse, around his perineum or anal area will send him over the edge of pleasure!
