Sex toy vibrator

Vibrator numbness is a real phenomenon. You may be wondering: Do you desensitize your clitoris often? Can vibrators desensitize the clitoris? Is it possible that using toys and vibrators could have side effects that prevent you from having sex? You spend time socializing because COVID-19 causes more time masturbating. Now you're worried you'll never be free of ordinary physical contact?

Or maybe you don't even know what we're talking about.

Basically, frequent use of sex toys during masturbation or intercourse can cause desensitization of the nerve endings in the clitoris. It's almost like how you feel after you've been sitting for so long that your legs have fallen asleep. Fortunately, this side effect is supposed to be temporary. But there are ways vibrator users can avoid this feeling during sex.

How to avoid vaginal death syndrome in sex life

Yes, "vaginal death syndrome" (DVS) is a real term coined by sexologists to refer to clitoris numbness that can occur after a person masturbates or has sex with a vibrator or sex toy. If you feel this way, you might think that if you use a powerful vibrator too often, your clitoris might not respond to anything other than a jackhammer.

The good news: Sex therapists and researchers agree that the numbing side effects that can result from excessive vibrator use should be temporary - your clitoris should return to normal within ten minutes.

In a study by neurologist and psychophysiologist Dr Nicole Prause, the phenomenon of nerve terminal numbness was shown to be real, but it was not a major problem. "Women may notice that if they try to switch to a low-intensity stimulus after experiencing a high-intensity vibration during gay sex, yes, that stimulus may not be as effective for a while." It is perfectly normal to feel less comfortable after prolonged stimulation of the clitoris.

So while excessive clitoris compression won't permanently damage your sex life or sexual health, a numb clitoris can prevent you from reaching orgasm. If vaginal death syndrome bothers you, or if it prevents you from orgasm, then you should consider how you can enjoy clitoral stimulation without dulling your nerve endings.

Use gentle sex toys and vibrators to accommodate all speeds.

We've already told you about the legendary history of the Hitachi Magic Wand. Powerful one - or two-speed vibrators and sex toys are the most likely culprits of vaginal death syndrome.

Choose a sex toy that has a lot of functions and can be light to start with so that you don't immediately hit the clitoris with a jackhammer.

Use lubricant.

Using lubricants to reduce the friction of sex objects will reduce the chance that you will push too hard on your clitoris during masturbation or sex. We have some of the best tips here.

Change your sexy love.

If you use a vibrator during sex with your partner, try changing positions more often. This will change the position of your hands and hopefully change the Angle at which the sex toy strikes your clitoris to help you avoid numbness. You can also take turns controlling the vibrator -- you or your partner -- if you have a limited range of motion or if you want to maximize avoiding vaginal death syndrome. Just make sure you let your partner know your discomfort with this feeling and how best to avoid it.

If you're using a soft silicone toy, you can also change your position while masturbating so that you can masturbate on your back, abdomen, and sides.

If it prevents you from reaching orgasm, see an OB/GYN.

If you are still troubled by this feeling, or if it is affecting your sexual function (i.e. you are not achieving orgasm), we recommend that you see a gynecologist to have your sexual health checked. Reduced clitoral reactivity can sometimes be a sign of menopause, and your OB/GYN may be able to advise you more appropriately.
