Vibrator Addiction. Next on DrTim. Stay tuned!
The question has been raised. What are the pros and cons of using a vibrator and can you become addicted?
From bumblebees in a hollow piece of wood to today’s finest metal, plastic and motors, vibrators are a big, big seller. There are many articles on the history of vibrators. You should look them up. I’ll wait…
Now that you are either completely knowledgable or thoroughly confused, let’s take a look at the vibrator. Why does it exist? Isn’t a dildo or strap-on good enough?
While vibrators have been around for a long, long time, most people believe that they were invented to cure hysteria in women. Yep. Only women suffer from hysteria and the only cure is a good orgasm. Except, back then, hysteria was an excitable condition and women didn’t have orgasms. Well, the good ones didn’t. And after all, who isn’t calmer after a good cum?
We’ve come a long way baby! So, in my warped little mind, here is why they really invented the vibrator. It has nothing to do with the failure of many men to help their partner achieve orgasm. (Well, maybe a little. See my post about the Amazing Clitoris. ( https://quantumcogitation.com/2008/10/15/the-amazing-clitoris/)
My belief is that it was either a well-intended lover who created it for their Lady or the Lonely Lady herself. Dildos have existed much longer than vibrators. Since the Dawn of Man, we have been looking for things to stick into our orifices. Us and the bonobos. We like it. It feels good. And we are all really sex-oriented creatures who if we could, would just eat, sleep and fuck like every other animal on the planet. Blogging? Who would have the time?
Back to the vibrator. Dildos are great. They are sweet, smooth rides that don’t pinch us or pull our hair during the act of masturbation. However, they don’t move the same way. I want to believe that the vibrator was invented as an attempt to replicate the heartbeat and quiver of your human lover. We do not just insert and lie there. Well, the good ones don’t. But just by being alive we transmit a hum, a frequency, a throbbing to let you know we are there and experiencing emotion. A dildo is like a Honey Badger. The Honey Badger don’t care!
But a vibrator! Ah! That hums, it vibrates, it has a throb that lets you know it is there and means to take care of business! It can send your nerve endings into overdrive. Which brings us to Vibrator Addiction…
Does it exist? I don’t know. If you research and study long enough, you may find just as many arguments for vibrator addiction as against it. As for me, I don’t happen to believe in many “ailments” of the modern human. We seem to be, as a species, intent on discovering conditions in an attempt to cure whatever behavior we do not like in ourselves. Why? To make money and let the World know that it is Not Our Fault.
So why use a vibrator?
It is quick, clean, teases us just the right way and it doesn’t snore. Seriously, vibrators massage our muscles to relieve the tension. And a little clitoral stimulation is a good thing. Some folks like to have a vibrator inserted deeply and feel the throb. It’s all good. You should buy one. Or two. Or twenty! (Just make sure to look for Doc Johnson on the label! If it’s from the Doc, it is as good as cock! TM) Be sure to buy lube too! I’ll tell you why:
Everything is better with a bit o’lube on it! If you vibrate dry, penetration is difficult, and you may over-stimulate the nerve endings in your clitoris. If you over-stimulate, the nerve endings will shut down and you might think that you broke your clit. You didn’t. You just gave it an owie. Take some time to relax. If you already had an orgasm, slip into a warm tub and soak. And keep you fingers off it for a while. It is the same with men. If they jerk off without lube, the penis becomes a bit numb, delayed ejaculation, chafing and bleeding. If this is the case. Just stop touching it!
The lube will keep things slick and moving. Can you become addicted to masturbation? Um, I think we all are addicted to masturbation. It feels good and releases endorphins.
Can you become addicted to vibrators. Well, sure. People can become addicted to anything if the set their minds to it. (We like to use the word Fetish instead of addiction for fun things.) I wouldn’t recommend using one every time though. Mix it up, get a human partner, enjoy all of the sensations that life can give you. However, if you can no longer orgasm without mechanical help or by masturbation, maybe you should talk to someone. After all, humans were built as social creatures for there is strength in numbers. But if you are happier that way, who am I to talk? Be happy. Sex is whatever you want it to be and as long as you are not damaging anyone physically, emotionally or mentally, have at it.
To sum up:
Pros: Fun, easy, endorphins, easy to hide, easy to clean, won’t hog the covers
Cons: Too much can numb the nerves, can’t hug you after a bad day, never cooks
So like I said, buy sixty or seventy and try them all. But in my humble opinion, vibrators are the most fun if you use them together.
