How do we love the vibrator? Let us count the ways. And the names, while we’re at it – this toy goes by many titles! B.O.B. (Battery-Operated Boyfriend), Jesse Pinkman, The Orgasmatron, Buzz Nightgear, and even just plain old Vibe. Whatever your euphemism of choice happens to be, we can all probably agree that the vibrator is one of, if not THE most recognizable and best known sex toys around. Vibrators for women buzzed onto the scene (officially) around the end of the 19th century, first used as a medical device that treated, among other ailments, the fabled yet much-misunderstood ‘female hysteria.’ Doctors would administer electromechanical stimulation to bring on ‘hysterical paroxysm,’ or what we now know as the Big O – orgasm.
