Vibrator Masterclass

SOLO SATISFACTION
‘The key to enjoying your sex toy is knowing how to throw the switch, not just a little, but wide open – whether you’re monogamous, solo or hot and heavy with a new lover,’ says Sadie Allison, sex educator and author of Toygasms (Tickle Kitty Press).

Regular solo sessions with a vibrator will keep your Kegels toned and libido charged. Plus, it’s the fastest route to orgasm. ‘Many women have their first orgasm with a vibrator,’ says Dee McDonald, author of Masterclass: Sex Toys (Collins Books). ‘Once you’ve had one, the rest will follow more easily.’

Experiment with different positions using your vibrator. Kneel upright, lowering yourself onto it, or lie face down with it inside you, thrusting down towards the buzzing attachment. Alternatively, lie back, knees bent, legs open, holding the vibe in place with the heel of your foot and leaving your hands free to tease your body.

For a cherry-on-the-cake effect, coat yourself and your toy with lubricant. And if your nipples are a tad sensitive, lube those too and glide your toy over them as a teaser.

TWO’S COMPANY
Be tactful when sharing your toys with your partner. ‘Great sex starts with communication, so if you want to introduce a sex toy, don’t scare him by pulling out a giant one,’ Allison warns.

You can push against his perineum to excite him or, if he’s happy to go further, you can stimulate his G-spot through anal penetration with a toy (remember to wash it before you use it anywhere else, though).

For visual stimulation for him and über-pleasure for you, the eye-to-eye position works a treat. ‘Lie back with your legs straddling his thighs, giving him a full erotic view. In this position, he can arouse you with a vibrator while your hands are free to caress your breasts,’ Allison says.
