From the amazing Kelly Arbor:
I recently presented at the University of Vermont’s Translating Identity Conference. I enjoy helping anyone on a pleasure-based path find sexy gear, but the even higher privilege of being able to give that back to your own communities evokes an even deeper spirit. The energy that erupted as I gave product information (PK in the retail world) was unparalleled to any crowd yet. Part of the connection comes from the fact that a lot of that crowd directly comprised my own communities (the ‘fags’, the ‘dykes’, the ‘trannies’, and the ‘queers’). And another part is the combination of the information itself and how we, at Babeland, communicate it; through comfort, humor, and excitement. I share this information because we can never share with each other enough, not only for survival, but also for pleasure. So, in the spirit of community, I offer some gathered information on vibrators.
Your whole body is comprised of nerve endings so the possibilities of enjoyment and arousal are limited only to your adventures. The more aroused your whole body is, the more diffused your orgasm will be. We hold a lot of tension at our core and genital area and do not relax, too, those same muscles. We also culturally over-emphasize genital stimulation, even though many of us enjoy (or fantasize about) other types of stimulation too. All the more reason to relax, enjoy, and give yourself the time to be with your own pleasures. Masturbation is vital to the sex-positive revolution!
