In many ways, you and your vibrator have achieved the perfect relationship: you bring her (or him, or them) out when you want your desire to be recognized and fully satisfied, or when you need a quick exit. Once you get what you want, you put it away and go about your normal business, no fuss, no hassle, no mind games or miscommunicated emotional needs. Pretty good, right? But just as getting into the same position every time can get a little too routine, vibration fatigue is also a problem.
“It can become routine… and then monotony sets in.” says clinical sexologist Debra Laino. Clinical sexologist Kat van Kirk adds that “if you’re using the same vibrator in the same way over and over again, you can become too reliant on your vibrator to achieve orgasm.” In other words, some people become so reliant on their vibrator to achieve orgasm that they can’t achieve orgasm without it. No shame in that, but to avoid the fate of a one-trick pony (and one that gets bored and desensitized, to boot), why not try using your vibrator in new and outrageous ways every now and then?
Whether you’re playing solo or with a partner, consider trying these 8 exciting techniques to take your use of vibration to a mind-altering new level:
1. Keep your panties on
Think back to the beginning of a relationship, when kissing and caressing were the main event and you were more turned on than ever in your life. If that doesn’t apply, imagine slowly making your way to third base with someone you’ve always wanted. get. Using your underwear (or a sheet) as a barrier is very arousing and helps prevent overstimulation. Not to mention that it can be easier to explore high power settings this way if they are normally too intense for direct contact. You can keep your panties on for the duration of the exercise, or possibly set them aside.
2. Don’t feel confined to your clitoris
While the classic way to use a vibrator is to place it directly on your clitoris and move it around, there are plenty of reasons to move away from the clitoris as well. Hannah Rimm writes for Women’s Health says it well: “The clitoris is an iceberg, there is much more going on than what the eye can see at first glance.” Never hesitate to press your vibrator on and around your labia or along your mons pubis or perineum for whole new worlds of sensations.
3. Explore the edges
We could say that border (AKA orgasm denial) is a teasing torment tactic. Dusk he said, “Border…is the process of bringing yourself (or your partner) close to orgasm, stopping just short of orgasm, and then repeating the process over and over again. What’s the point? The idea is that when you finally do, it will be an earth-shattering orgasm. » You can try sliding your vibrator slowly up and down your thighs, getting close to your clitoris but not quite there. If a particular setting keeps getting you off, try a new one. Sexologist Jess O’Reilly recommends the “hierarchical technique,” which involves “touching yourself until you get to a level five or six, then letting it drop to three. Get excited again until you get to a level seven, then drop back to three. Then go to an eight, then a nine, until you’re ready to take the plunge.”
4. Stimulate your other erogenous zones
Your body is home to many delights erogenous zonesbut so few of them get airtime, which is a shame. One of those underrated areas is your lovely neck. Try lying down, closing your eyes, and lightly running your toy up and down one side of your neck, then the other. Then maybe slide down to circle your nipples… just explore. Once you feel abundantly excited, you can slowly travel to the deep south. Really, you can use your energy anywheree, as long as it feels good.
5. Enter playfully
Latest news: Some vibrators are designed to slide inside. Hit your delicious G-spot using a curved vibratoror mimic penetrative sex by moving your vibrator in and out at your preferred pace. You can even choose to take a break every now and then and use your toy like a dildo. Consider stimulating your G-spot with a vibrator while you (or a partner) stimulates your clitoris. Or simply use a toy that can do both at once, giving you the blended orgasm of your dreams. If you’re craving more penetration, you can even go so far as to pair a dual stimulation vibration with a anal plug (or your partner’s cock).
6. Try anal
Did you know that anal vibrators are really a thing (and, uh, to die for)? Pick one that works for you, take it slow, be mindful, and use a ton of lube – and you won’t regret it. In fact, you’ll be next-level euphoric and may not be able to cum for days. Just saying. Pair it with a dildo for some delicious DP, insert a vibrating anal plug while you are having vaginal sex or stimulating your clitoris, or getting a toy that really does it all:clitoris, pussy, ass. I guarantee it, it’s mind-blowing.
7. Use it with a partner
If you use your vibrator solo but never with your partner, try introducing it into your shared repertoire. You can get kinky by having your lover tie you up and relinquishing control by letting them use your vibrator on you at their leisure (this requires your enthusiastic consent and trust, of course!). Or, you can treat yourself to a couple atmosphereso you can literally vibrate together. Better yet, get a toy you can wear to dinner and let your partner rock your world while you try to place your order.
8. Try a new position
No matter which vibrator you choose, changing positions can also make a big difference when it comes to intensifying your orgasms. You can try lying down and propping your butt up with a few pillows to help you easily reach new angles you didn’t know you were missing. Or, lie flat on your stomach and slide your clitoral vibration underneath you. Then lie back and rub yourself on it for a spicy new way to make yourself. cum.
