From the Victorian era, when vibrators were invented to treat “female hysteria,” to today, generations of women have used them for pleasure. Modern sex toys are more innovative than ever, and not just for women. In the last decade, the use of means of masturbation has become less and less taboo, notes sexologist Jan Kerner. Toy manufacturers recognize that vibrators and other similar sex toys should not be limited to solo performance. For liberal and adventurous couples, they can be invaluable tools for creating intimacy as well as achieving even more pleasurable sex. For both women and men, vibrator use is associated with more positive sexual function, such as greater desire, arousal and easier orgasm, says Dr. Debbie Herbenick, a researcher at Indiana University. According to statistics, about 25% of women own a vibrator. 10% of American couples use it during sex. Today, vibrators of various shapes and functions are produced, there is even a vibrator compatible with an iPod player. Most sex toys are also beautifully designed.
