The History of Vibrators

The electrically-powered vibrator was invented in the 1880s by doctors, who had been ostensibly treating women for "hysteria" and "female hysteria" for centuries by performing what we would now recognize as masturbating those women to orgasm. At the time, however, not only did doctors regard the "vulvular stimulation" required as having nothing to do with sex, they reportedly found it time-consuming and hard work. The vibrator got the job done more quickly and without such efforts, and as such was extremely popular with doctors. Home versions began to appear soon after and became equally popular, with adverts in places like Needlecraft, Woman's Home Companion, Modern Priscilla and the Sears, Roebuck catalog. These disappeared in the 1920s, apparently because their appearance in pornography made it no longer tenable for polite society to avoid the sexual connotations of the devices.

In their more common guise as "body massagers", millions of vibrators have been sold to both men and women. Some of the purchasers never use their purchases for anything other than relief from muscular tension or aches and pains. However, many people who purchase vibrators marketed as "body massagers" -- and, presumably, most people who purchase vibrators marketed as adult toys -- use them to attain sexual release, primarily in masturbation, a form of autoeroticism. Vibrators are also used by couples as an enhancement to the pleasure of one or both partners, and are often recommended by sex therapists to women who have difficulty reaching orgasm by other means.

The vibrator is probably one of the most popular of all sex toys. There are so many variations and models that most women / couples can find a vibrator to suit their needs.

Types of erotic vibrators

An enormous range of vibrators exist, falling into several broad categories:

Clitoral - Primary function is to stimulate the clitoris.
Dildo-shaped - Approximately penis shaped, can be made of plastic, silicone or latex.
Waterproof Vibrators- Can be used underwater.
Rabbit Style Vibrators - Two pronged for stimulation of both the vagina and the clitoris.
G-spot Vibrators - Similar to the traditional vibrator but with a curve and often a soft jelly like coating.
Egg - Egg shaped vibrator which can be used for stimulation of the clitoris or insertion into the vagina or anus
Pocket rocket - Shaped like a cylinder, one of its ends has some vibrating bulges. It is meant to stimulate the clitoris or nipples, not for vaginal insertion.
"Undercover" or incognito vibrators - vibrators discreetly shaped as every-day objects, such as lipstick tubes, cell phones, or art pieces.
Most vibrators use internal batteries, but some of them have a power cord and must be plugged into a wall power socket to work.

Common materials used for vibrators:

Plastic - Traditional for vibrators. The vibrations transmit well through plastic. It is a durable and relatively inexpensive material.

Latex - A material commonly used in the manufacture of sex toys. The feel of latex is somewhere between plastic and jelly. It is inexpensive, very porous, but might be allergenic to some people.

Jelly toys are usually soft, flexible and colorful, They tend to have a soft, smooth, supple feel.

Glass - Yes, there are toys made of glass (Pyrex which is extremely tough). These toys last a long time, are very easy to clean, and are often beautiful. Expect to pay more for a glass toy

Silicone - A quality material used to make high-end sex toys. Silicone is soft and lifelike, warms up quickly to body temperature, and non-porous, so therefore it is easy to clean (with mild soap and water, or boiled for sterilization).

Cyberskin, also known under other brand names, is currently the closest emulation of real skin. It does have special cleaning requirements. (Basically no harsh soaps or detergents)
