The Orgasm Deficit
Date: July 8th, 2014
Author: Heather Wood Rudulph
Title: The Orgasm Deficit
Summary: Why have so many women never had an orgasm? GV Staff Sexologist Dr. Carol Queen takes on this important question.

Brittany* will never forget her spring break trip during junior year in college. She was headed to St. Augustine, Florida, with a group of friends. By coincidence, her ex-boyfriend from high school was going to be there too.

"I knew we'd hook up, and so did everyone else. I even Brazilian shaved for the first time. After dinner, all our friends just disappeared to give us privacy. We went back to the hotel room pretty quickly after that," she says. "At first, I was nervous and tense. I was not prepared for him to give so much attention to the area, but I guess I just hadn't thought that far in advance yet. And then the sensations became more intense than I'd ever felt, and before I knew it, I was having an orgasm. It was such a surprise, I actually cried a little because I was so overcome by the sensations."

It was her first orgasm — and also her last.

The Girl's Guide To Using Male Sex Toys
Date: January 19th, 2014
Author: Rachel Khona
Title: The Girl's Guide To Using Male Sex Toys
Summary: Maxim explores how women can get in on the fun of male sex toys. Good Vibrations Staff Sexologist lends insight and a few fun tips on how to share the buzz.

"When it comes to sex toys, your first thought might be, that's just for women.

Male sex toys are often seen as a threat to masculinity, or something only gay men use, but from a woman's perspective, there's so much more to it than that. Lewis and Clark weren't the only explorers; any woman who is into male sex toys wants to discover your body in all new ways. "When I'm using a toy in my hands rather than giving a blow job, I'm able to focus more on exactly what he's feeling." Says Dr. Carol Queen, Good Vibrations' resident sexologist, "Sure, most of us have hands, but they don't vibrate, and sex toys allow for the kinds of sensation that a guy can't create on his own or get from a partner. This opens the door to thinking about sex as more than just intercourse, but as a true form of erotic play."

Why Are "Sex Sleeves" For Men So Hilarious To People? They're Just A Different Kind Of Sex Toy
Date: January 17th, 2014

Title: Why Are "Sex Sleeves" For Men So Hilarious To People? They're Just A Different Kind Of Sex Toy
Summary: Xojane writer examines the hypocrisy and shame surrounding sex toys for men, and declares herself a champion of pleasure for all.

"Here's the thing: I am pro (safe, well-made) sex toys for everyone. I think that sex toys can be a great way to learn about your body, a great way to empower yourself, and potentially a great way to have fun with partners, too. And I firmly believe that as long as what you're doing doesn't harm anyone, you should go right ahead with your bad self and enjoy it while you're at it, and it's not my business. Seriously. I don't care.

Some folks fought long and hard for my right to walk into Good Vibrations and buy myself a sleek, well-engineered German vibrator and use it to my heart's content. And I love those people. I also love the gynecologists who took a little time off from work to design this beast (which sparked a conversation about what the "fourth level" of orgasm would do). "
