My girlfriend wants us to play with vibrators. What's wrong with my standard
equipment? - Casey, via e-mail
First off, your unit doesn't shake, rattle or roll. But unless you can insert double-A
batteries into it, that's completely normal. Don't worry -- nothing can replace your
fleshy friend; your girlfriend simply wants to spice things up. And for that, you should
be thankful. Start by giving her some good vibrations. If it's her (or your) first time
with a vibrator, begin with something simple, such as the Staccato ($35, MyPleasure.com),
a classic little number with five pulsating options. Start slowly, and don't go straight
for her clitoris like it's a bullseye. Instead, utilize the entire area and play around
with varying pressures and speeds inside and out. Another thigh-quivering option is a
hands-free vibrating erection ring, such as the El Toro ($55, MyPleasure.com),
which is worn around your penis and its pair of pals while you have sex. It features a
vibrating nub that will tickle her hot spot and yours. It's also a great help if
neither of you has arms.
