Most people enjoy using sex toys but many people don’t actually get as much enjoyment out of them as they might. One of the reasons might be that they have yet to explore and understand their bodies, but this comes with practice and a little research.
What a lot of people don’t realise is that something very fundamental about their sex toys can have a serious bearing on the level of orgasmic bliss derived from a vibrator. Yes, the strength of vibration is important so large and powerful vibrators drive home the stimulation, but frequency plays a part too.
The frequency of vibration in a vibrating sex toy is directly responsible to how the user’s body reacts and therefore the pleasure that the vibrator delivers.
The frequency that pushes your particular orgasmic buttons is as personal as any aspect of a sex toy’s design or construction but there are general rules of thumb that you can use when selecting a toy.
“Deeper” stimulation tends to require a lower frequency of vibration, whereas more sensitive areas need a vibrator with a higher frequency and often a lower, more subtle power.
For example, clitoral stimulation can most often be best delivered by a clitoral vibrator of higher frequency and a gentle touch. Too much power and /or a low frequency will not suit most clitorises, either not resonating in tune with the nerve endings or pounding the clitoris so hard that it loses sensation!
On the other hand a powerful, low-frequency vibrator will be more effective for use internally because then you are stimulating the vagina itself. In fact a powerful enough vibration will give deep and penetrating waves of stimulation throughout the lower abdomen.
So much for constant vibrations – what about “Patterns” of vibrations that are often provided by increasingly sophisticated vibrators? Escalating modes provide an increasing intensity that may smoothly increase and decrease or ramp-up and then drop suddenly. Pulsing vibrator patterns give an exciting staccato beat to enliven the nerves making everything throb and feel alive.
It’s a long way from the simple on-off or twist control vibrators that we all used to know.
Progress is a wonderful thing so take advantage of it and experiment!
