MIT’s student-run news paper, The Tech, held a contest around valentines day asking its readers to write with reasons why they should get a vibrator for V-day. Here are some of the winning entries (more can be found here):
. . . Those studying algorithms try to reach peaks in the fastest time possible; obviously, these peaks won’t be mine. Calculus-oriented men have limited talents and can only get me asymptotically close to coming. Plus, they’re lazy, always insisting on being the area under my curves.
The probabilists claim their bad performance is “almost surely” only temporary. And the topologists see my pussy as a damn doughnut! (Unfortunately, it’s a doughnut they definitely don’t know how to eat.) . . .
Here’s another:
Some girls are built for orgasms — I’m not one of them. After listening to my friends talk about coming two, three, four times during sex, I was pretty convinced that I would never get to experience even one orgasm. I didn’t have my first one until I bought a toy last year. Turns out the problem wasn’t incompetent partners — I just need a little extra power to get over the edge. Now I have a boyfriend who is wonderful in every way — including in bed. Despite his sincere and repeated efforts, I still can’t finish without a little electronic help. Other vibrators are awkward to use during sex — they kind of break the mood. The We-Vibe would be perfect for both of us. This Valentine’s Day, I want to share everything with him — including an orgasm.
And another:
I have never been able to orgasm during sex. Actually, not during any interaction with another person. I’ve had enjoyable experiences, but I’ve been struggling with all the mental blocks and the rest of that bullshit that gets in the way of being able to let go and get off. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve masturbated, and I orgasm perfectly fine. But I even struggle doing that in front of another person — leading to not getting off, taking a huge amount of time, or a crappy orgasm. I don’t even know what a vaginal orgasm feels like or where my G-spot is. Maybe because of bad situations with past relationships (or lack thereof), I have trust issues and illogical apprehensions and a dozen of other things holding me back. But now, I’m in my longest, and first real relationship with a great and loving guy. We have plenty of sex and he’s been so patient and understanding. I know he just wants me to feel good too (as do I), but I don’t even know where to start. I just want to try something out and see if it will help.
