Dildos & Vibrators

[kickassangel]

OK - so in my class about Fraternity & Freemasons last night we ended up with the teacher telling us how the clitoris is the only part of a woman's body that has the nerve endings which will bring about an orgasm. That the vagina doesn't have the right amount of nerves. (Believe me, it made perfect sense for this to happen in a lecture on the history of 1800s freemasons.)

Anyway - my thought was - I get why penetrative sex exists, but WHY do sex shops sell dildos & vibrators?

I've never actually seen either in rl (yes, honestly), so maybe I'm missing something, but wouldn't it make more sense for there to be sex toys that stimulate the clitoris, not the vagina?

And yes, the obvious answer is that we're meant to need a man & his penis, so that's what we get sold.

Ive had naughty dreams (one really vivid one about my ex OM last month where i woke up turned on and in tears and more recently one about an actor) ive woke up turned on but not actually had an orgasm in my sleep (will admit that i helped myself along afterwards)

[NigellasGuest]

yes, very odd....

[AnyFucker]

DE, you know I've told you before how it makes me to think of you wasting the best (sexual, and otherwise) years of your life on this man.

[AnyFucker]

Orgasm in my sleep has happened to me a couple of times. Very disorientating! Especially since I couldn't remember what I was dreaming about...

[Darkesteyes]

I did it. I treated myself to a little naughty pressie today.

[AnyFucker]

See you in 3 days...

[Darkesteyes]

Yep..LOL at AF x

I orgasm in my sleep quite regularly, maybe once a month. And especially if I haven't had sex in a while.

To those of you having vaginal orgasms from piv - are you stimulating your clitoris at the same time? Or is your partner just thrusting and that leads to an orgasm?

I've never been able to come without touching my clitoris so very interested in learning if I'm able to achieve these vaginal orgasms.

I've had a gspot orgasm before, amazing and very different.

Watching rugby, wood burner lit, reading posts on self pleasure - can life get much better?

I second lovehoney. I like the glass phalic shaped ones. They are beautiful. No naf veins or noise.

I'm interested to hear about the treat - was it worth it?

Also, 2pence worth on clits. Your nerve bundle is huge. Masterbation only enhances your knowledge of your body, and enhances the signals to the brain. Huge subject but look in to the a & p of nerve conduction, enhancing nerve conduction and sensitivity. In short - nerves need practice at passing the pleasure signals up

[Darkesteyes]

Rosy i havent actually tried it yet. And its time of the month now so will have to wait a bit.
Ive seen those glass phallic ones but they are way out of my price range.

Why the fuck have you ressurected a 9 year old thread?

[BordoisAgain]

Oh, advertising your company 😒

[GrrrrAReform]

I hope things worked out for Darkesteyes. I know this thread is a Zombie thread but reading it made me remember how helpful, educational and supportive MN can be. Nine years ago though...

I would be inclined to be skeptical of your teacher's claim. I think the idea that no women have orgasms from vaginal penetration alone is one of those ideas peddled by women's magazines as fact without real evidence.

It may well be true of lots of women but certainly not all.

[DarkDayforMN]

Clitoris extends inside, and anyway there are women who can have orgasms without anyone going anywhere near the vulva so it’s obviously not true. Women’s sexual wiring varies massively.

that said it’s a useful first approximation of the truth and back in 2013 it was probably a helpful myth that helped lots of heterosexual couples to have better sex by focusing sexual attention on the clitoris.

sadly I don’t think the kind of man that would expect a “vaginal orgasm” in 2013 would care about his partner’s pleasure at all in 2022.
