    Marital Aid Test Kitchen: I Vibe, You Vibe, We All Vibe For ... You Get The Idea

    A few days ago, I told my assistant that I was going to need his help testing out a vibrator this weekend.

    "Why do you need my help?" he asked.

    "Because it's the We-Vibe," I replied. "If I don't have you, it's just a Me Vibe."

    Yes, the We-Vibe is a couple's vibe, if you will—a marital aid in the truest sense. A purple (of course), silicone-coated vibe that's shaped a bit like a lopsided U, the vibe sits half inside, half outside the vagina. The thinner prong nestles up against the G-spot, leaving plenty of room for penile or other penetration, while the fatter prong which houses the controls curls up against the gspot. Which is all well and good, but does it actually work?

    Well, we'll get to that in a second. First things first, though: On initial inspection, the We-Vibe appears to have no controls to speak of. There are no buttons, no dials, and no obvious method to get the party started. It's only when you open up the accompanying manual that you learn that the little dimples in the fatter prong are actually signaling the location of the power switch, which is located underneath the silicone coating. (The manual also informs you that you must charge the vibe a full twenty-four hours before first use. This is definitely an RTFM vibe.)

    Before sliding the toy into place, be sure to lube it up well with a water-based lube. Switch it on, and you're ready to go!

    My first session of we-vibing occurred in the missionary position, a choice I would later regret. Though the vibing was quite nice, if a bit low-powered, the positioning was all wrong. On more than one occasion, the weight of my assistant's body pressed parts of the toy uncomfortably into my pelvis, and it was pretty difficult to get it to set just right. If anything the toy felt like more of a distraction than an enhancement. Likewise with girl on top: any situation where the vibe could be jammed against my body seemed to be a position I didn't really care for.

    I was pretty soured on the whole we-vibing thing, but I figured I'd give it one more go, in doggy style. If my partner was coming at me from behind, there'd be no pressure on the front section of the vibe — and maybe that would leave me free to enjoy the vibe.

    And — not too shockingly — I was right. As with so many things, position makes all the difference for the We-Vibe. What had been an uncomfortable addition to my boning session suddenly transformed into an extra note of pleasure.

    Of course, given that this is the We-Vibe, it wasn't just my pleasure that I had to look out for, so after our experiment I asked my assistant for some feedback. His experience fell somewhere in the range of neutral to positive. At worst, the We-Vibe was a bit of a barrier, almost like an extra-thick condom. He admitted that at one point, it felt as though he were fucking the toy, rather than me — though with enough lube that sensation seemed to dissipate. Mostly, he didn't feel it all; except, apparently, at the moment of orgasm.

    "I think it might have helped me come, and made me come a little harder," he said.

    So there you have it. Smiles all around!
