The Rise of the Rabbit Vibrator

Wednesday, October 21st, 2009

How have the women sextoys shot to the top of the vibrator charts. Investigations show that this can primarily be attributed to two separate factors:

Firstly, the rabbit vibrator is effective simplistic design at its best. Whilst retaining the off-balance vibration motors found on traditional vibrators to secret to the rabbit vibrators effectiveness is in the manner in which the vibrator is used. Traditional vibrators deployed the vibrator in a location within the base of the shaft of the toy. This in torn enabled the shaft to vibrate.

There was a simple design flaw. The user was only able to target one area of her vagina at a time. The designer of the original rabbit vibrator recognized this flaw and produced a design that appealed both to the eye and to the body.

Rather than place the vibrator unit inside the shaft it was attached to the side. The real development came in placing the vibrator unit within a rabbit shaped section that featured soft plastic ears that when used vibrated.

Secondly, due to its effectiveness the rabbit vibrator soon started to receive media attention previously unheard of for the products of an adult nature. This media attention peaked when a rabbit vibrator was featured on the US television show sex and the city.

Nowadays rabbit vibrators are known to all as quite simply one of the best variants of sex toys available to buy and one of the best ranges of adult products ever produced.

WHAT ARE RABBITS VIBRATORS?

Rabbit vibrators are a type of vibrating sex toys. Identifiable by the vibrator unit being shaped like a rabbit complete with the vibrating ears and nose. Historically there was a single variant, a vibrating dildo named the Jack Rabbit. However, due to the incredible success of this product there is now a large range of products in different shapes and sized but all retain the rabbit styled vibration.

Why are Rabbit Vibrators so popular?

Vibrating dildos have been available for many years; traditional vibrating dildos consistent of a shaft with a vibrator mounted at the base. When in use the entire shaft vibrated which whilst pleasurable did not target any specific region. If the user wanted to use the vibrator for stimulation, she would need to remove the vibrator from the vagina.

The designers of the original Rabbit vibrator applied common sense to the design of vibrating dildos. They mounted the vibrator unit on the side of the shaft so that the vibration directly targeted the whilst to the unit was inserted in the vagina. However, the real stroke of genius lay in the design of the vibrator unit itself, it may look cute but the format is incredibly effective. The rabbit ears vibrate against the hood, ideal for sensitive women.

Nowadays there are a large number of variants. It can however be argued that the fundamentals of the device remain the same.

This family of adult toys has single handedly destroyed some of the taboo’s that around adult toys even today. Women are not ashamed of their rabbit vibrators

Sexuality and Health

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009

Our lifestyle choices, such as exercise and diet habits, have strong influences on both our overall mental and physical health; there was never really a strong body of research to back this hypothesis up in the sexual health department.

Interestingly enough, researchers have noted that sexual dysfunction in men used to be thought of as primarily a psychological rather than physiological issue, but this new research confirms that many of the lifestyle choices that are correlated to physical health, and more importantly heart health, are also strongly linked to a healthy sex life for men. If you think about this relationship, it does make sense though really, since both heart health and erectile health are linked to a healthy blood flow, which is influenced greatly by the lifestyle factors of obesity, smoking and exercise. It seems like they thought of everything in this study, and just as well, since it is the largest group of test subjects to date on sexual health studies for men. Regular cardiovascular exercise was also shown to protect against erectile issues in the exercisers vs. the non-exercisers in this study.

These new findings will help to lead men to a healthier lifestyle, since it has produced convincing and clear evidence that a healthy lifestyle also leads to a healthy and active sex life, a major driving biological force in men.

Using Sex Toys during Pregnancy

Below are suggestions for sex toys that will add variety and pleasure to your sex life at every stage of your pregnancy. If you have any questions about whether a particular type of toy or activity is right for you, consult your doctor.

Your First and Second Trimester

If your doctor has cleared you for penetrative sex and orgasm, anything goes during your first two trimesters! That said, there are a few things you will want to keep in mind.

Keep Toys Clean! You should always keep your sex toys clean and well maintained, but it is especially important during pregnancy. We suggest using a condom on any sex toy, as well as changing the condom when changing orifices or sharing the toy with a partner. We also recommend thoroughly cleaning your toys with an adult toy cleaner .You may also want to consider adding some pure silicone sex toys to your collection, like this dildo that can be boiled between uses to keep it bacteria-free.

Your Third Trimester

As long as your doctor has no concerns about orgasm inducing early labor, sex and sex toys are still a go! However, by your third trimester, you may choose to have only non-penetrative sex due to a medical recommendation or your personal choice.

Sex After You Deliver

Your doctor will likely be very clear about this matter, but if not; make sure you ask exactly when it will be safe for you to have vaginal intercourse after you deliver. Follow your doctor’s instructions to the letter so that you can stay healthy.

Once your doctor has given the okay, the rest is up to you and your partner. Remember to go easy on yourself if you need to start out slowly before fully resuming your sexual routine. Your body and life has just gone through some big changes and you should move ahead only as you feel comfortable.

Remember, the experience of pregnancy can differ broadly by individual, so be patient with yourself and stay in touch with your feelings.

Sex Toys

Saturday, October 10th, 2009

A sextoy is any object or device that is primarily used in facilitating human sexual pleasure. The most popular SexToys are designed to resemble human genitals and can be classified as vibrating or non-vibrating. Sex toys usually do not include contraceptives, pornography, or condoms. A related “softer” term is adult toy. Another related term is marital aid, often used as a euphemism for sex toys, although marital aid is broader as it can also be applied to drugs and herbs marketed as supposedly enhancing.

Types of sex toys:

A penis sleeve” Pocket pussies” or “vaginas” or “masturbators modeled to accept a penis for simulated intercourse.

Cock rings in their most basic form enhance and prolong a man’s erection.A man may wear a cock ring because he has erectile difficulties, or because he likes the particular sensation of tightness and engorgement that wearing one provides. Some models include a protruding clitoral stimulator. Some cock rings have vibrators attached.

A triple crown is a cock ring that has additional rings for restraining the testicles. A triple crown changes and intensifies the sensations.

A cock harness is a more elaborate harness designed to be worn around the penis and scrotum. Its intention is similar to that of a cock ring.

A penis sleeve is a cylindrical device that is placed on the shaft of the penis, with the aim of increasing stimulation. They often have soft bumps intended to provide further stimulation.

A penis extension is a partially hollow device like a very short dildo, with the hollow end placed on the end of the penis, intended to increase the effective length of the penis. These are generally worn with condoms to stop them falling off in use.

A docking sleeve is a cylindrical device similar to a penis sleeve, but is open at both ends, so that two men can dock.

Vaginal / Clitoral stimulation

A dildo is a non-vibrating device that is used for sexual stimulation of the vagina and/or anus.

A double-ended dildo is a long, usually flexible dildo with both ends designed for penetration.

Vibrators are vibrating devices intended to stimulate the nerves of the body. Vibrators intended for sexual use are often dildo-shaped, although they also come in a wide range of shapes and sizes, allowing internal as well as external use. Most women report using vibrators for stimulation and as such models designed for this purpose.

Ben WA balls are hollow metal balls, are inserted vaginally, and can be worn inside the vagina for extended periods.

Kegel exercisers, also known as vaginal barbells, are designed to improve muscle tone in the pelvic floor, and can be used for sexual pleasure.

Glass sex toys are becoming common. These are made from Pyrex glass that provides a very strong solid object. Glass dildos are commonly used with lubrication because this combination offers very low resistance.

The History of Vibrators

Saturday, September 26th, 2009

Many people assume that sex toys are a recent invention and were invented in Asian. It is true that many sex aids today are made in Asia but the history of the dildo, the vibrator actually started in the west, and they have been used as sexual aids for more than 1,000 years. The History of the Dildo: The first use of a dildo is not completely clear although it is recorded that single or lonely women in Ancient Greece used them. Unlike modern dildo’s they were made of wood or leather and needed plenty of olive oil for comfortable use. Dildos have always had a sexual purpose.

The Vibrator’s Humble Beginning: For hundreds of years it was believed that many ‘conditions’ women suffered from a disease called ‘Hysteria’ and that the uterus was complaining of neglect. Anything from tiredness, headaches, absent-mindedness, melancholia and insomnia, irregular breathing, and confusion was put down to ‘Hysteria’. In fact, any type of behavior by women that confused men were put down to hysteria. It was decided – by men – that ‘Hysteria’ was caused by sexual frustration.

It seemed clear that a women’s mental or emotional distress was an indication of a need for sexual release. Hysteria, it seems was a prevalent disease, second only to ‘fevers’ – or the classic cold. It was also classed as a chronic disease that could not be cured. The Vibrator Was About To Be Born. A ‘breakthrough’ for the poor weary doctors came in 1869 when the steam powered massage and vibratory apparatus for treatment of female disorders was patented. This apparatus was intended for supervised use only in case of over indulgence. It was indeed a brilliant invention, saving doctors much time, therefore allowing them to see more patients.

Many doctors had difficulty in treating patients using their own fingers. They could start to perform in minutes, tasks that before could have taken up to an hour. A 17th century doctor was to complain how tiring and time consuming the ‘massage therapy’ was for the doctor. Other strange techniques were also sometimes used, such as air powered and gasoline powered vibrating tables, swinging chairs, jolting chairs and many others.

What does seem strange now, is that it was deemed normal for women during Victorian times to visit their doctor in order to obtain the sexual pleasure and relief they were not getting at home. The Modern Vibrator Within 20 years of the steam-powered vibrator being patented, a more portable battery vibrator was available, and by the turn of the 20th century – 20 years after the first electromechanical vibrator there were at least two-dozen different types of vibrators available to the medical profession. It was not long before certain businesspersons spotted the potential of producing vibrators and selling them directly to women. They were marketed as household appliances – although never as sexual massagers. They were advertised in respectable periodicals.

Advertisements spoke of ‘health, vigor and beauty” promoting the vibrator as an aid to health. Men were encouraged to give their wives a massager as a gift. In fact, the vibrator (massager) was only the fifth electrical household appliance behind the kettle, toaster, sewing machine and fan. The idea of hysteria as a disease was debunked in the 1950’s. Today, women everywhere see their vibrator as part of their sexual independence and freedom. SexToys now come in all shapes, sizes are mostly quiet and discreet, and many women use them regularly.
