Episode notes
Treat Vibrators As Practical Tools
- Use a vibrator as a tool, not a toy, to reliably facilitate orgasm when other stimulation fails.
- Involve partners by using scripted language to normalize vibrator use during partnered sex.
Why Vibration Works When Touch Fails
- Clitoral nerve types age differently and explain why vibration often works when touch no longer does.
- Larger, myelinated vibration-sensitive nerves remain functional far longer than delicate touch receptors.
Pulses For Arousal, Steady For Orgasm
- Different vibration patterns serve different purposes: pulsatile boosts arousal and steady vibration better triggers orgasm.
- Simpler controls often outperform complex multi-button devices for ease and consistency.
