This week SexyPrime pays tribute to that beautiful invention, the vibrator. Babes, the cornerstone of my sex life philosophy is: Every woman should own a wardrobe of vibes and use one daily to reach orgasm, whether she's in a relationship or not. A woman's Vibe Time is sacred time; and she is a better woman for it.
If you haven't been in a high end sex toy shop or visited a really good website, like my long-time favorite, Babeland, in the past few years, you may not know how varied, elegant, powerful and absolutely thrilling the new vibes are. From the small and discreet (bullet, Pocket Rocket, lipstick and more) to the Big Mama of all vibes, the Hitachi Magic Wand--they do more than just get the job done. Even The New York Times has noticed.
Reporting on a new study of vibe use published in The Journal of Sexual Medicine, Michael Winerip wrote in "The Adult Store Goes Mainstream" on June 28, 2009:
"...according to the first academic peer-reviewed studies of vibrator use, it is nearly as common an appliance in American households as the drip coffee-maker or toaster oven....
"Even through hard economic times, vibrator sales are up 20% in the last year."
If you like research studies (as I do), click on the link for the studies above and get the results. Interestingly, they show that vibe use is up for men too. The vibe has gained mainstream acceptance as a couples' toy (or as a shy young male friend calls it "marital aide.")
Vibes were a big topic of conversation at a Booty Parlor event I attended last week, hosted at Gallery Bar in lower Manhattan by Dana Braverman Myers, co-owner of BP with her husband Charlie:
Based in L.A., Booty Parlor--the elite home party provider--grew out of the parties Dana was throwing for celebrities. She's a delightful little dish, a sexy celeb in her own right; and she radiates enthusiasm for bringing her vibes and other luxury products to women all over America. I'll be writing more about Dana soon.
Let your own SexyPrime Vibe Week celebration begin tonight. Thanks to Robyn for kicking us off with that sensuous poem last night. (Scroll down.) Send me a sexy story about using a vibe or a technique tip and I'll send you a lipstick vibe.
Oh dear, I'm afraid that I'm entirely monogamous with my Hitachi Magic Wand. No battery-run appliance can approach the Wand's power and no modern plug-in offers me much in the way of improvement. I've maintained an exclusive relationship with my Wand for decades. Does that make me boring, Susan?

I love my Hitachi too, but I'm not the monogamous type :)
So many vibes, so many sensations.......This week I am playing with a Booty Parlor pink vibe with a rolling control dial. Very smooth.
Always good hearing from you, Sue.
Kisses, S
