Are vibrators not your favorite way to get off?

Contributor: Supervixen Supervixen
Since I've been on Eden, I've tried five different vibrators, and my sixth is showing up in the mail soon. At first, it was fun exploring my body and using them, but lately, they've been leaving me...kind of meh. It's not that I don't reach orgasm--they feel great...until I climax. When I'm masturbating with my fingers, I can bring myself to intense orgasm, though with a vibrator, they sort of just fizzle out. The sensation builds up wonderfully and it feels like I'm going to cum really hard, but they end up not being nearly as intense as I'd like. Does anyone else have this issue?

It's not that I'm overusing them, because my fingers have always been my go to, and I pull out the vibes for fun once in a while. But they've never been totally thrilling for me, except for my g-spot vibe, but I think the vibrations aren't necessary for me--I'm going to test this theory buy getting a glass g-spot dildo. My clitoral vibes are not my favorite things in the world, though.

It's also worth noting though, that I've never used a multi-function vibrator, and never spent a lot of money on a luxury one. I'm hesitant to do so though, because of this. I have had my guy use a very mild bullet on me while we have sex, and that was awesome--the penetration plus the clitoral stimulation with the vibrator was very pleasurable. So perhaps I'd enjoy a rabbit? Tried the butterfly kiss, and that thing was useless.

Should I just try a nicer vibe with different functions? Or perhaps vibrators aren't really for me, and I like the rubbing sensation for my clit more than vibrations, and I need penetration for the best pleasure I can get...

My next vibrator that I'm getting in the mail is the enchanted crystals, which I know is supposed to be a little on the weak side, but I decided to try it because of this issue. I'm in a long distance relationship, and I'll be reunited with my guy in a little over a month, hauling sexual goodies across the globe with me. I wanted to get a nicer bullet for us to use in the bedroom, and I thought that maybe the milder vibrations would be a good bet, because it's worked for us in the past, and I don't want the vibrations to ruin my orgasm while we're having sex. It seems counter intuitive, but I'm wondering if milder vibrations is what I need, because right now, it seems that the more intense the vibrations are, the more my orgasm fizzles out, quietly. Is that odd?

I like vibrators, but I use them to build me up to climax, because I have the same issue with disappointing orgasms.

I'm not a fan of vibrators. Dildos are the way to go.

I'm not a fan of vibrators or dildos. I masturbate with my hands/some other way, and don't add them to the bedroom.
You just haven't found the right vibrator for you. Don't worry--sometimes it takes time!

I dont actually masturbate much. I prefer just sex. But we bought a Jopen Vr6 I think (the rabbit) and it is loads of fun, but hard to tell cause everyone is different

My wife loves vibes both internally and externally - and anally. Yes sometimes we have 3 going at the same time. However, a clit vibe and dildo will work just as well - she says she needs something to squeeze to have a really good orgasm - that's why a clit vibe alone is not satisfying.

I've got three vibrators myself and a fourth one on the way. Internally, they haven't been the greatest. I've liked them better as a clitoral vibe, but even then, I need a dildo to use internally as well. It could be that maybe vibrators just aren't for you. I'm not sure vibrators are for me, either. It is what it is. My dildos are fantastic, though. It's the thrusting that does it for me, not the vibrations.

I love my rabbit but I have to have different speeds because sometimes I like a stronger vibe and sometimes I don't

I like vibrators sometimes, but I hate relying on them so I masturbate with a dildo while rubbing my clit most of the time. Getting off this way is the most satisfying. I can get off with just my hands or a vibrator, but I won't feel completely satisfied.

Patterns don't do much for me. I don't mind one speed if it's REALLY strong.

I know what you mean. My orgasms have been a lot more intense since I got my Eroscillator, because it oscillates instead of vibrating, so it doesn't cause the numbness that can result in weaker orgasms.

I totally know what you mean. Unless I'm really having an intense and long masturbation session, it's never as good of an orgasm as with my partner or with my fingers. I have a hard time experiencing "mind blowing" orgasms like some reviewers describe....

I kind of want to warn against rabbit style vibes for you...I have really fast orgasms with mine (like...less than 3 minutes), and they are not as nice...sometimes almost painful if I don't use a less intense toy to warm up! And I find that my orgasms are better the longer playtime is. I don't have a spreadsheet or anything () but when I take my time (and sometimes lube reapplication!) I can get a feeling more like orgasms with a partner.

I do still use vibes most of the time (when I'm not with my partner of course), and do a lot of rubbing on my clit (along with vibration) and it's usually very enjoyable. It is hard to compare to a couple orgasm though!

I like vibrators, but when I stop using them and have PIV sex with my man, I have a harder time to reach climax, as if I've been over-stimulated by the vibrators. For that reason, I prefer to use dildos and rub my clit with fingers simultaneously, that kind of stimulation is long lasting, and it enhances my senses for PIV sex, resulting in great orgasms.

I'm finding that the only place I really like vibrations is on my clit, so I'll grab a massager or a bullet for that. Sometimes an insert-able vibrator, despite feeling absolutely awesome, can feel kind of "distracting" and never pushes me over the edge. I like vibes but they tend to be warmup or paired with something else in order for me to have an O.

Just tried out my Enchanted Crystals, and I love it. It isn't very strong with vibrations, and that seems to so it for me; I like being teased over the edge instead of "BOOM! Orgasm." It lets it build up for me, which I like. Plus I was using my first plug at the same time. Perfect (well, his cock would be perfect...sigh...soon) .

I love vibrators, but while the orgasms I get from them certainly are intense, they're not always satisfying (if that makes any sense). My best orgasms when masturbating come from using a dildo inside me and my hand on my clit. Having some G-spot stimulation and something to clench down on upon climax seems to be key, but I'm really not why my clit likes my hand better despite not delivering the intensity that vibes do.

I used to masturbate using only my fingers until I got a hitachi. I now use it as my primary way of cumming and I use the low setting because I think the high setting would be too much for me, in a bad way. I also like to have a dildo inside of me while using it... that way the orgasms are better. I recently started using my tulip because I like how I can have something vibrating inside of me and on my clit! Woohoo!
