Plastic Love: Can You Fall in Love With Your Vibrator?

December 9, 2005 by Vixen

In this modern era, it’s getting harder and harder to find a woman that doesn’t know what a vibrator is. Most of us tend to have several, in all shapes and sizes, perfect for whenever and wherever the opportunity arises. With the plethora of XXX stores in every neighborhood and the internet that ships your packages in unmarked boxes, even the timid have broken out of their shells and accepted that the Rabbit is here to stay. Also, when you consider the quality merchandise out there, and the advancement of material, selection and color, it’s very easy to pick and choose your tool of choice.
Enumerating the benefits of using your own vibrator over natural sex, there seems to be almost no drawbacks. It takes less effort, you don’t have to worry about STDs, you don’t have to do stuff you don’t enjoy, you can get it whenever you want and it gets you off everytime.

After crossing the threshold the first time we reach self-induced pleasure, it is so empowering that it can actually become addictive. You might develop the “I don’t need a man, I can take care of myself” mentality and find yourself seeking out sexual encounters less and less for the favor of your plastic love.

You start putting less and less effort into getting some action in the bedroom, because you know that once he leaves you can take care of your own needs. You forgo teaching your current lover what pleases you and start just going through the motions, often ending up with wham-bam-thank-you-ma’am sex and not even caring. Why care? All you need is a couple of fresh AA batteries and you are a happy camper.

Once you reach that point, it’s time to check yourself. There is no way that plastic love can ever compare to the intimacy of having a sexual encounter. Especially if you are in a relationship, being too in love with your vibrator can actually negatively impact on your relationship. It will make your man feel inadequate and about 2 feet tall, knowing that he can’t get you off in the bedroom. (And we all know how important their egos are to them!)

Another drawback with loving the Rabbit too much is that after a while, your vaginal walls become less and less sensitive. You will need higher speeds and more rotation to do the deed. It’s adjustable with a vibrator, you can just upgrade to a newer and better model. However, this makes regular sex more difficult, because you will need more of EVERYTHING to stimulate you. And trust me, no matter how great your lover is, there is no way he can ever compare to the speed and rotation of the Rabbit. It’s just not humanly possible.

Breaking out the vibrator once in a while when you are feeling particularly horny isn’t a bad thing, even on a regular basis is still doable…but when it becomes the main course instead of the appetizer, then you are waaaay too in love with your plastic.

If you have a regularly scheduled appointment with Rabbit, just skip a few sessions once in a while. You will be surprised by the results next time you break it out.

A great suggestion from a friend of mine is to use the vibrator when in the presence of your man. Just seeing you get it on turns him on more, relieves his performance anxiety, gives you something else to share and leads to a better sexual experience all round. Plus, it helps strengthen the learning curve, with him watching what you do to please yourself, he can please you better.

And really, that is all that it’s about, right?;)
