Vibrator addiction (or vibrator dependence) is real.
We don’t sell vibrators or air suction toys at Tantric Tools for a very good reason.
It’s not that we are “anti-vibrator” – we fully celebrate vibrators as an amazing tool.
Vibrators have done so much for enabling female bodies, conditioned by thousands of years of patriarchy, to feel orgasmic pleasure and peak orgasm.
The reason we don’t sell them is because they can be limiting and at Tantric Tools we are all about pleasure expansion and full-body orgasmic experiences.
You may have heard that vibrators cause desensitisation or reduced sensitivity in the vaginal and clitoral tissue – they can, but the desensitisation generally is temporary.
The bigger issue is that both vibrators and suction toys can create habituation patterns (or vibrator dependence) that make it difficult to orgasm without the same level of stimulation.
In other words, these toys are SO GOOD at their job – creating high levels of pleasurable sensation – that when we get used to them, nothing else quite hits the spot.
This can include sex with your partner.
And if we want to move BEYOND the experience of a short clitoral orgasm based on intense sensation into ORGASMIC EXPANSION – where pleasure becomes full-body, longer-lasting and not reliant on intense stimulation – being habituated to the pattern of reaching orgasm very quickly (sometimes in seconds with a vibrator) is going to make this very difficult.
We aren’t saying NEVER use vibrators or suction toys.
But if you don’t want to get stuck in a vibrator dependency loop, you need to be very conscious about how you use them.
When we created Tantric Tools, it was because we had been searching for tools that would support us to feel more.
We wanted to expand our experience of pleasure rather than restrict it to one pathway.
The tools that we found that worked for us were yoni eggs and yoni wands and that’s why we sell them – to help other women do the same and learn how to orgasm without relying on a vibrator.
If you have a vibrator and have been using it for a while, the tools that we sell might not do much for you at first.
You may well wonder what all the fuss is about, put them on your shelf to gather dust, and go back to your vibrator or suction toy.
Honestly, the only way around this if you already have habituation patterns is to take a break from vibrator use and allow your body to re-sensitise.
If you are stuck in a vibrator habit or dependence cycle, then our Pleasure School is for you.
It teaches simple, reliable practices that can be used to expand your experience of internal pleasure and full-body orgasm.
