For decades, there has been a misunderstanding about vibrator use stating that it’s just for solo play –for those who don’t have a partner, or at least don’t have a partner tonight. But, a couple of researchers at Indiana University put that myth to rest. They surveyed thousands of adults across America and found that just over half of women have used a vibrator during partner play, and 45 percent of men have.

Vibrators don’t need to be seen as a sexual partner’s competition. Like lubricant and some favorite naughty accessories like paddles or handcuffs, vibrators can just make sex better. And who doesn’t want to have better sex? They can move at a speed no human hand, tongue or penis possibly could, and are very, well, let’s just say, precise. Embrace the vibrator during partner play. There’s a lot that it can do. Here are ways to get creative with yours.

Classic Clitoral Stimulation

Over 36 percent of women need clitoral stimulation to reach orgasm during intercourse, according to a study from the Journal of Sex and Marital Therapy published in the National Library of Medicine. But sometimes, the fingers just can’t work fast enough. One of the most classic ways to use a vibrator to enhance sex is to hold it against your clitoris during vaginal penetration. This way, you get vaginal and clitoral stimulation at once – which can be one of the strongest types of orgasms.

Nipple Play

Both men and women have hundreds of nerve endings in their nipples. Plus, nipples are known erogenous zones. In addition to licking, kissing or running a feather over a partner’s nipples, mix up the sensations by circling a partner’s nipples with a vibrator. Stick to a low setting, since the skin here is very sensitive.

Pleasure The Perineum

The perineum is the area between the balls and anus on a man. This is another little-known erogenous zone, and when touched, it can stimulate the prostate otherwise known as the P-spot on a man. When you’re in reverse cowgirl position or doggy style, reach back there with your vibrator (on a low setting – with your partner’s consent) and gently run the buzzing toy over this soft patch of skin.

Try A Vibrating Ring

Vibrating penis rings can increase the pleasure factor for men and women. The added sensation can be satisfying for him, and when a woman’s clitoris interacts with the ring during penetration, it can stimulate the clitoris. You can also try stretching the ring out over a partner’s balls during oral (if he’s into that).

Poke Around The Prostate

If you have a partner who is okay with things being inserted into his rectum, get a rabbit-style vibrator and insert it partially while having intercourse or giving your partner oral. This can stimulate the P-spot and intensify a man’s orgasm. (Just consider holding off until you’ve climaxed, because this move can make a man finish very quickly).

Multiple Entry Fun

If you’re a woman who likes anal sex but needs vaginal stimulation to climax, try this trick: insert a vibrating dildo into your vagina during anal. The stimulation in the front and back doors at the same time can lead to a multi-zone orgasm.

Explore The Whole Body

If you aren’t sure what you or your partner will like, you can have some fun exploring. Use a vibrator on each other, gently running it across one another’s bodies. Just see what you and your partner respond to. When one person is into a certain sensation, lean into it and turn up the vibrator’s settings. Just be sure to check the instructions on your vibrator so you know whether or not it’s safe for insertion.
