SPEAKING OF VIBRATORSIn humanity's never-ending quest for more intense sensations, ingenious inventors have come up with an amazing rainbow of vibrators, miracles of technology providing stimulation for every body part and every taste. But though backrubs and foot massages have their place, vibrators are also a great tool for sexual pleasure. | |

There are, generally speaking, two classes of vibrators. Plug-in models intended for
external use are wonderful for muscle massage, but not specifically shaped to meet
male sexual needs. Many of these plug-ins have attachments good for cupping over
a cockhead or stimulating an asshole, but for a maximum sex buzz, there's nothing
like a battery-powered vibrator up where the sun don't shine.
The most familiar internal model is the dildo-shaped gizmo often cunningly marketed as a "facial stimulator." Hard plastic and cheap, it - like all-tube shaped vibrators - requires caution when used for internal stimulation. For anal play, the longer the vibrator the better. Anything that can slip all the way inside your butt should only go in there part of the way, unless you relish the idea of explaining to the doctor in the casualty dept just how that thingy got lodged in your guts. Mind you he'll have probably seen the same thing a hundred times before, but you really don't want to overload the NHS unnecessarily. |  One of our extensive selection of Toys available in the OutUK Shop |

Going beyond the basic, there's a dazzling variety of vibrators on the market.
Though most are primarily aimed at women's needs, many are great for male use too.
Some have flared bases, so they can't slip past the sphincter. They're also usually
made of butt-friendly jelly rubber or vinyl. Many good vibrators are multi-speed,
emitting everything from a slow-going growl to a high-speed zing . And -
the cherry on top - many come in realistic schlong shapes.
Guys interested in the intense joys of a prostate massage should consider a vibrator shaped to do the job, with a hooked or curved business end that aims vibrations at the happy-making gland located between the arsehole and the base of the dick. There's even an anal-specific model or two with a thin probe that will easily slide inside and make that prostate gland sing. Many men find such internal stimulation, correctly applied, produces earth-shattering orgasms. Vibrator play need not be limited to the butt, of course. The little machines can provide plenty of scrotal stimulation for those who like their balls jangled. And they can, of course, be used on a dick. Though any old vibrating thing can be used on a hard-on, consider the traditional model that straps on the back of your hand. Once switched on, it transforms your whole hand into a vibrator, ready to go to work on dick, nipples, butthole, perineum, ballsac - well, you get the idea. There are also sleeve-shaped vibrators; just slide in your wood, turn it on, and it'll jack you off. Not everyone enjoys the same intensity of vibrator play. Insertive battery-powered models produce relatively gentle stimulation, while most plug-in models can be cranked up to produce pulsations to please even the most jaded sensation sluts. Plug-in models, no matter how friendly feeling, mean you're playing with full-juice power, so be cautious. Regardless of the model, other safety considerations apply. Don't share unclean insertion toys; a fresh condom on your mechanical buddy will keep things nice and sanitary. Most vibrators shouldn't be immersed in water, so a damp cloth with mild soap or rubbing alcohol will have to do the after-play tidying-up. Lube (or jizz) in the wrong spot can short-circuit your fun. And small ball-shaped vibrators designed for full vaginal insertion are taboo for anal use, since the cord that connects business end to batteries can detach.
From the simplest buzzing shaft to waterproof vibra-dildos to gorgeous Japanese
models shaped like animals climbing trees, vibrators are versatile and ever-available
tools for sexual pleasure, shared or solo. Turn one on today.
