Besides, men should want their ladies doing some solo experimentation with a vibrator, says Shane, 33. “It’s good that a woman knows where the sweet spots are, so then she can steer the guy.”

In Shane’s humble opinion, too many women don’t know their own bodies and what it takes to make them orgasm. Some quality time alone with a vibrator could change that. It’s like the old joke: What does it take to get to Carnegie Hall? “Practice, practice, practice,” he says.

On the flip side of the vibrator divide are the men whose teeth chatter and boots quake at the thought of you needing some battery-powered assistance.

These men already feel enough pressure in the bedroom trying to understand your plumbing. Knowing they may be compared to a “toy” doesn’t make the business of sex any easier. “We can’t compete with the giant electric armadillo,” said Joe, 31. “I’m only what God made me.”

In fact, Joe wonders how vibrators got to be so acceptable in the first place. “If I bought a vibrating vagina, you would think I was a freak,” Joe said. “A hand is good enough for every guy on the planet. Why is a hand not good enough for a woman?”
