For all the mystique surrounding the female orgasm, vibrators are a surefire way for lots (and lots) of ladies to get off. I recently took a tour of Crave, a sex toy company that prototypes and fabricates its products in San Francisco; here's a peek inside your new favorite mini pleasure machine.
Obviously, I'm aware of orgasms. I know there are different kinds. There are the orgasms other people give you, and the orgasms you give yourself. There are the varying delivery methods of orgasms, involving actual people parts or vibrating substitutes. There are the ones that sneak up on you, and the ones you have to…
Like a diminutive, pantyliner-shaped version of the obelisk from 2001: A Space Odyssey, the latest in wearable tech has appeared upon our horizon, leaving us shrieking and jumping in place confusedly. It's called the OhMiBod Remote App, and it's a vibrator that connects, via Bluetooth, to your smartphone.
Are you laying in front of the TV, resting your laptop on your stomach while you munch on Sabor de Soledad and mainline The Good Wife? Excellent; let me join you. No, wait, I mean: get off your ass and let's make us some vibrators!
Vibrators.com is offering an Affordable Care Act for your lady parts — they're giving away 200 vibrators a day to federal employees affected by the government shutdown. It's becoming more and more obvious that this is what the sluts wanted all along.
This Sunday is International Rabbit Day and to honor the occasion, Cosmopolitan took it upon themselves to publish a thorough history of the Rabbit vibrator. Good thing you have two hands, one to scroll with and the other to...you know.
Earlier this month, we showed you the most precious vibrators around, ranging from snooty lint rollers to feathered rubber duckies. Now we're going the other way: here are the creepiest sex toys we could find. To each her own, even if your own is a scorpion climbing out of a coffin or a (literally) shit-talking…
Are you a bad feminist if your favorite vibrator is a snootily-named lint roller or a rubber duckie that's a "lovely shade of pink, elegantly dressed in feathered boa, and sports a decorative and fashionable genuine Swarovsky crystal beak jewel"? Obviously not. Choose your choice! You do you! Etcetera. But it's pretty…
There’s a new racket in Vegas, the city where there just aren’t enough bad decision to be made. Sex toy races, whereby four battery-powered dildos crawl across a tabletop at a speed so slow that participants can feel themselves traveling backwards in time to the moment they decided they’d have a lark and put money…
As an April Fools prank, high-class sex toy company Lelo tweeted that they'd soon be distributing an eco-friendly vibrator made of recycled wood pulp and old tires. Foolishly, the fool public believed them. Fools! And not only did the fool public believe them, they were falling over their Toms to shove Mother Earth's…
Hooray for the internet!
From San Francisco, the sex and technology capital of the United States, which I can say because I live here and I am the apex of both sex and technology, comes a combo vibrator/flash drive that will both get you off and hold an entire season of Arrested Development! Technology, you're the greatest.
If Brookstone was one of the many of catalogs crowding your inbox this holiday season, you might have noticed that among the pages selling electronic wine openers, heated slippers, and remote control toy helicopters, the gadget chain's infamous selection of "personal massagers" has expanded to include a large selection…
Thanks to a Scanlime post from entitled "Hacking My Vagina", there are now detailed instructions on how to reverse engineer a remote control vibrator so that its remote interface can be supplanted by an "Arduino-based sonar controller" that a user can activate with any part of her body. Vibrator deconstructionist Beth…
Sometimes it's easy to forget how far mainstream American culture has come since the Puritans landed on the blasted, infertile rock we now call "Massachusetts." For instance, nowadays, we can all speak frankly about...doing it without getting a case of the giggles. We are free to objectify the human body (mostly the…
"Reach out and touch someone." If you're over 40, that phrase probably summons memories of the legendary Bell System commercials from the late ‘70s, inviting folks to call up distant friends and "just say hi." Touch was the watchword of the iconic ad campaign, promising that the sound of a loved one's voice was almost as…
Yesterday, New Yorkers lined up to get lucky. Trojan — a company best known for condoms — was doing a giveaway; pushcarts were set up and free vibrators were being distributed. Unfortunately,
the sexy promotion drew big crowds, and the endeavor was shut down by City Hall. The good news? The punny writers at the New…
According to Uproxx, this Fifty Shades of Grey masturbating kiosk is located in a Sainsbury's, which is a chain of supermarkets in the U.K. that apparently specializes in dirty books and special vibrator batteries. Oh, and those shortbread cookies that are so maddeningly delicious. This display should remind everyone…
This week, an armed man entered a Brazilian luxury sex toy shop, tied up the clerk, and made off with a $4,000 18K gold-plated vibrator. Tragicomically, he didn't manage to swipe the vibe's charger as well, so whoever ends up with the high end play dick will have difficulty gilding her lilly.
Given over a century's worth of pleasure that followed its invention, history may easily forget that development of the vibrator in Victorian England was just one salvo in a larger culture war fought over women's bodies. (Sound familiar?) While some doctors were figuring out how to give women orgasms, others were…
