Could masturbation be the ultimate form of female empowerment? While a lot of women today are being more open about masturbation and self pleasure, there is still the stigma attached to it, making women stay silent because their pleasure could be perceived as shameful or embarrassing. 

The truth is that not only is masturbation nothing to be ashamed of, but it is also incredibly good for you. That’s where dildo vibrators come in. They’re extremely versatile, and are slowly going further than providing pleasure. They’re empowering women! 

The Dildo Vibrator 

The first vibrating sex toy was created by an American physician, George Taylor in 1869. It was steam powered, used to administer treatments for stress, depression, and anxiety. It’s important to note that back then, it was considered a medical treatment, not a tool used for masturbation to provide sexual stimulation. 

Since then, the vibrating dildo has changed a lot, and has become a front-runner in the wide range of sex toys available today. Its shape is a beloved favourite, by mimicking the penis, it simulates “real” sex, offering reliable orgasms whenever you use it. Better yet, the vibrating dildo comes with powerful vibration features, at different strengths and pulsations. 

These vibrations vary in strength, allowing you to start with a light buzz and end off in an extravaganza of sensation that vibrates right to your core. The vibrations can also come in varying patterns, allowing you to find exactly the kind of vibe that works well for you and your body.

Dildo vibrators come in different shapes and sizes, depending on what your taste is, and boy, there are a lot of tastes out there! Some women like their dildos to be perfectly smooth, while others prefer them to look and feel ultra-realistic, with the natural colour, skin-feel, and veins of a real penis. But for the more adventurous ladies out there, you can get dildos made out of glass, metal, or even semi-precious stones. These are typically penis shaped and smooth for comfort and ease of use, but some ladies like something more… different. 

In the wild and wonderful world of dildos, you can find some designed after aliens, monsters, animals, and other fantastical creatures. These come in various phallic shapes, with different textures to stimulate more nerve endings during penetration. When it comes to dildos, the world is your oyster — literally! You can buy any kind of vibrating dildo you want, and even have them custom-made if your fantasy hasn’t been created yet.

The Empowerment Of The Dildo 

So why has the vibrating dildo become a symbol of empowerment? Because, historically, women’s pleasure has been made to take a backseat. 

Going back through the ages, the expectations put on women were simple: be a good wife, bear children, and look after the home. A significant factor in being a good wife included submitting to her husband and pleasing him whenever he needed a release Because he was working hard and sacrificing for his family, it created the precedent that sex was earned, and owed to him, while ignoring women’s autonomy and pleasure

In those days, women’s pleasure was not even considered, let alone a focus. For women who enjoyed penetration, regular sex and orgasms, they were firmly told to keep it under wraps, with it coming second to her husband’s needs. Women’s pleasure wasn’t a priority, and had to be secret and hidden, like it was something shameful. 

Until today. 

With the rise in women’s voices, so has their comfort and confidence in speaking out about their enjoyment of sex and masturbation. Women of all ages all around the world are enjoying the freedom of liking sex, having multiple partners or sex before marriage, and started prioritising their own pleasure during these encounters. 

Times and perceptions were changing, but even then, masturbation, solo play and using sex toys still had an undercurrent of stigma. Liking sex and wanting to be satisfied in the bedroom was great, but without a man to provide that enjoyment and fulfil women’s sexual desires was something embarrassing for men, and therefore shameful for women. 

Fortunately, the perseverance of women couldn’t be contained, and soon masturbation, solo sex and using toys became more accepted and celebrated. Better yet, it became an act of rebellion against patriarchy. And since then, the sex toy industry has boomed. 

Masturbation has now become a wonderful tool for women to learn about themselves and their bodies, experience the joy of orgasms, and empower themselves — using a dildo vibrator. 

Sex toys have come a long way over the years, and now with the dildo vibrator women are having better and more frequent orgasms. It has encouraged them to learn about their bodies, and teach their sexual partners what they like — yet another empowering act. Masturbation with a dildo vibrator is no longer only used during a dry spell, when a woman is single, or in a long distance relationship. 

Sex toys have come a long way since 1869, and how fortunate we are now.
