I’m not sure “ever” is a good metric. That sweeps up “used one once, ten years ago, didn’t like it, threw it out, made do with my own fingers ever since” > [@Little\_Nemo](#): > > It depends on whether you get off on killing zombies. Doesn’t everyone? ---

I have two and have had more over my sexual life, per se. However, my very own digits work the best… …except for the pool whips when I was but a wee lass. (Pool whips are forced water jets that ran around on the bottom of an in ground swimming pool. I miss them every day!! ) ---

We men are lucky they cant take out the garbage or move heavy things around or women wouldnt need us at all. ---

I (male, 30 years) have owned one, but haven’t used one on myself in years because my hands get the job done better. In addition to that, all of the women I’ve seriously dated have owned one. ---

I miss them every day!! ) You have reminded me of high pressure jet shower heads. I guess I could say it was my first “vibrator.” They were new on the market (I think) when my parent’s bought one in the early 1970s. We had a 6 setting dual handheld shower head. I was 14 years old, and discovered it’s _magical powers_ one day. I can still remember my step-mom knocking on the door…“Are you EVER coming out?! Ay dios mio, what are you doing in there?!” 😃 ---

Nope, unless you count leaving my phone on vibrate a few times and having a pleasant little tingling sensation when it buzzed. Male. None of my female partners have used one in my presence either - but that’s not to say they might not own one, of course. ---

Of course! Always fun to incorporate it into foreplay 😉 ---

> [@Urbanredneck](#): > > We men are lucky they cant take out the garbage or move heavy things around or women wouldnt need us at all. Not so, from a woman who takes out the garbage. I’ve yet to find a BOB or shower head that will whisper in my ear, run a warm calloused hand down my side, waggle eyebrows suggestively, perk up my heart rate on sight, or be a warm spoon on a cold night. Oh- and the naughty bits can be heavy:D, never a problem to lift. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/have-you-ever-used-a-vibrator-to-masturbate/687855.md?page=2)
