AIBU to think vibrators are better than men?

For the following reasons:

You don't have to fake an orgasm
You don't have to lie there wishing it would be over
You don't have to give it a blow job or a hand job
You don't have to say "Oooh, you were wonderful! /The earth moved/ What was your name again?" Or whatever.
You don't have to check up on its whereabouts (it's in my knicker drawer) or worry that it might be having sex with an OW.
It won't have football on TV day and night.

And the way technology is going, vibrators will soon be able to talk to us, buy drinks AND do the housework.

To be honest sex with another person is a total faff. Takes ages, lots of negotiations and weird emotional work to do around it.. technology gives 80% of the result for 20% the effort and at my age that's good enough for me.

An inny orgasm is better than an outy
So a rabbit is better than an egg 🤷

No I would say the egg would do more for the inny as the rabbit is designed for the outy.

I honestly can live without the outy orgasms I am all for the inny 😍

This thread has helped me immensely. I've recently ended a long relationship/marriage and started to worry I'd done the wrong thing but then my vibrator is superior to my STBX and he didn't do any of the lovely, supportive things other posters mention. So, probably a good thing it's over.

dementedma · 24/11/2018 21:02

vibrator doesnt have a mouth/tongue

Rixera · 24/11/2018 23:57

Plenty of very good partners, plenty of 'alone time' and still no inny orgasms... Am I missing out?
Very easy multiple outy orgasms, so not a difficulty there..

VanellopeVonSchweetz99 · 25/11/2018 00:54

I like both. Grin
Not at the same time mind you (not that there's anything wrong with that).

TheStoic · 25/11/2018 09:22

At providing orgasms? I’d go with the vibrator. There an ‘orgasm gap’ for a reason.

For fun and sexual tension and intimacy, men every time. Grin

PookieDo · 25/11/2018 09:26

@Rixera

Are you sure?
For me an inny is the really deep intense one that leaves me feeling like a bowl of jelly. Usually happens from internal stimulation
I’ve never had a multiple Sad

JollyAndBright · 25/11/2018 09:29

Since DP is/does none of those things I’d rather have him personally.

Plus he’s a very good kisser and quite nice to look at.

TheStoic · 25/11/2018 09:33

Unreasonable, no.

Bit of a sexist knobhead....yeah, maybe

If you want a sense of humour, perhaps go with the vibrator. Christ. 🙄

Rixera · 25/11/2018 11:04

@PookieDo unfortunately I am sure! If I'm going to during sex there needs to be something going on on the outside too. It does make the sex feel better I think? But still can only do 'outy'.

Maybe that's the trade off for having multiple :p

IceSculpture · 25/11/2018 12:05

Never tried a vibrator, cannot see the appeal of a hard, cold piece of plastic inside you Confused

I have been married for 30 years, to a VERY considerate DH , stealthboast I would say that I have orgasmed 99.99% of the time, he has amazing handsGrin

Blackness78 · 25/11/2018 12:12

In my opinion..From an orgasmic point of view: Yep.

From an emotional/ intimacy point of view: clearly Nope.

And for me to have great 'sex', I need both.

Shepcpot · 25/11/2018 17:45

Nah, you just haven't had it good.

ImogenTubbs · 25/11/2018 17:50

You know you don't HAVE to do any of those things, OP? I'm sorry you've had so many bad experiences! There are indeed a lot of arseholes out there but there are also plenty of exceptions.

Personally I could never get the hang of vibrators and found them a bit dull. I enjoy the passion and the sensation of a real person, not just the physical stimulation. Maybe I'm not imaginative enough!

ravenmum · 25/11/2018 18:06

@IceSculpture - they are room temperature, not cold, and not all of them are hard; many have a soft surface. It's not a boast to say you've managed to keep a partner for most of your adult life, and one who's physically able to satisfy you sexually. It's not a boast, as it's not an achievement; it's just good luck!

NoArmaniNoPunani · 25/11/2018 18:08

I used to think that until I met my current bloke. He's the first man I've been with who is better than a wank Grin

Branleuse · 25/11/2018 18:13

I wouldnt want to be without my magic wand, but nothing beats the real thing at times either

HisBetterHalf · 25/11/2018 18:49

A piece of rattly old plastic will never be better than a someone who loves you and treats you with dignity and love

oh bloody hell Renarde steady on with the descriptions or my pacemaker will give out, im glad youre happy, and of course the initial lust of a new relationship with someone thats truly in tune with you sexually is wonderful and impossible to beat, but the truth is most relationships I dont think are that passionate, and even the ones that are, sometimes you just want to do it yourself, and cant always be bothered with the commitment of a full on sesh.

Renarde1975 · 25/11/2018 20:20

Properly lolling @Bran Grin

But you are absolutly correct. Most relationships aren't like that.

Can I be frank? Even if the sex stopped, I'd still want him. I love how he holds me in bed. Nothing trumps love, connection and intimacy. Nothing.

We've been together on and off for over a year. We see each other once a week, sometimes twice. If we were together 24/7 it wouldn't work. He's 50. I'm 43.

He has the most beautiful hair. Long, thick, curly and blonde. (He was one of those that was white blonde as a small boy) He's also 6'7". This is amusing when we're out and about as I'm only 5'4".

To get back to vibes. Yes, in my view they are important for women's sexual health. But women can and often do get addicted to them. That's why when my big wand broke I didn't replace it and I can honestly say I dont miss it.

Renarde1975 · 25/11/2018 20:25

And to add, i think its VERY important tgat women know their bodies and cam make themselves orgasm through fingers alone. Vibes can make it too easy to have the instant 'hit'.

Sparingly and in moderation says I. Wink

Chocolatecoffeeaddict · 25/11/2018 20:27

I love a rampant rabbit but prefer my man. The orgasm is more intense with a vibe but can't beat proper sex.

Renarde1975 · 25/11/2018 20:40

You know @Chocolate, I've owned two rabbits. TBH, think they are ungood. Bizarrely, only the other week, I was watching porn (shock horror MN!) and had the Lelo out. (Recommended. But not their wand. It's underpowered)

Came etcs. Not a patch on what he can do. Honestly, if i wasnt so possesive, i'd lend him out.
