and not good enough for a woman?”

John, 26, has never used a vibrator on a woman, and he doesn’t plan to. “I would never bring it into play because it’s not me,” he says. “It does something your [boy] is not going to do. It’s the easy way out.”

If he was having meaningless, no-strings-attached sex, Rob, 28, would be cool if a vibrator was brought into the mix. Otherwise, it would be a no-go. “If it’s someone I have a serious relationship with, I would definitely prefer [that] I would be enough,” he says. “And I am enough.”

Ladies, I don’t need to tell you that men can be a bit sensitive about their bedroom prowess. We all like to think we’re kings of the castle, lords of the mountaintop. That’s why, when dealing with vibrators, guys can be a tad screwed up.

Every man is different, but some guys out there are scared to death of your little electric friend. Vibrators make them nervous. They make them feel inadequate. In short, these dudes have vibrating issues, my friends.

But before we talk about these self-conscious guys, let’s start with the good news: Some men actually love vibrators. They hail your pleasure gadgets as the greatest invention since sliced bread, happy hour and plasma TVs. To them, your vibrating pal is a godsend. Getting you to the big “O” can be challenging enough, they say. Why not get a little help?

“The vibrator does the work for you,” says Jim, 28, pointing out that taking you to the sexual summit is asking a lot from our various body parts. “Sometimes, physically, you can’t do jaw-wise what you want to do.”

Lovers of the vibrator are comfortable with their masculinity. They aren’t afraid that a machine will put them out of the lovemaking business. “Unless they have vibrators that are like jackhammers, I will never be intimidated,” says Frank, 27. Besides, men should want their ladies doing some solo experimentation with a vibrator, says Shane, 33. “It’s good that a woman knows where the sweet spots are, so then she can steer the guy.”

In Shane’s humble opinion, too many women don’t know their own bodies and what it takes to make them orgasm. Some quality time alone with a vibrator could change that. It’s like the old joke: What does it take to get to Carnegie Hall? “Practice, practice, practice,” he says.

On the flip side of the vibrator divide are the men whose teeth chatter and boots quake at the thought of you needing some battery-powered assistance.

These men already feel enough pressure in the bedroom trying to understand your plumbing. Knowing they may be compared to a “toy” doesn’t make the business of sex any easier. “We can’t compete with the giant electric armadillo,” said Joe, 31. “I’m only what God made me.”

In fact, Joe wonders how vibrators got to be so acceptable in the first place. “If I bought a vibrating vagina, you would think I was a freak,” Joe said. “A hand is good enough for every guy on the planet. Why is a hand not good enough for a woman?”

John, 26, has never used a vibrator on a woman, and he doesn’t plan to. “I would never bring it into play because it’s not me,” he says. “It does something your [boy] is not going to do. It’s the easy way out.”

and not good enough for a woman?”

Between the vibrator haters and vibrator lovers sit a third group of men, the guys who both fear and respect the power of these magical devices. These cautious men want to make their ladies feel right, but they also worry about what cat a vibrator may let out of the bag.

“They’re good for foreplay on occasion,” said Keith, 29. “It’s not a replacement. It’s a tool.” In Keith’s mind, men should only bring in the vibrator if their troops need reinforcements. “You’re the A-team, and the vibrator is the B-team.”

To these men, vibrators are like the Force in the Star Wars movies. Use them correctly, and great good can come. But use them wrongly, and you get a sex life of machines, a Darth Vader in your bed.

“I love the girls. I love my lady,” said Jim, 27. “I support them, but I never would want [a vibrator] to get out of hand and take the place of a natural.”

So, on special occasions, absolutely let it rip. Otherwise, these guys will ask you to hold back on the good vibrations.
