What's The Buzz?

I like to surf the internet and last week I surfed fox news and surprisingly they have articles 2 or 3 times a week where they talk about sex. Some of it is inane and somewhat embarrassing. Last week the article that made me pause was about vibrators. May I ask do we really need to be talking about a vibrator or the energizer bunny before my morning coffee? 

The article stated that you could now buy vibrators in the grocery store or any drug store. Trojan condoms are marketing them to be on the shelf right next to the condoms and they are sold as a line that is going to be couple’s vibrator. I could just see me asking my husband, “Honey can you stop on your way home tonight and pick up some milk and get me one of those vibrators and get me a big one will ya?”  

What is the buzz on vibrators? First off, it is embarrassing to be talking about them let alone buy them. Of course, I can imagine the girl ringing you up at the register, knowing in her mind what you are buying that for and then smiling at you with a devilish grin and right away, you want to confess to her that it isn’t for you; it’s for a friend. You would not dare tell her, “I am buying this for my husband and it is the new couple’s vibrator.” Now, the hard part comes where you have to look her in the eye with a red face glowing with humiliation and pay for the thing

The article stated that vibrators should be man’s best friend….sorry lassie; Timmy is calling you! An electrical device to make women sing has replaced lassie as men’s best friend.  As I continued to read the article, it was instructing men to bring pleasure to their woman. Now that is a nice thought! For once, it should be about us women. I do think guys and the vibe should be best friends maybe like the dynamic duo. Of course, Batman and Robin would never make me smile with a silly grin or make me feel that good.  Of course, if you are like many women and you hear the word vibrator it makes us a little uneasy. Those loud obnoxious insufferable buzzing that can chip your teeth.  I now have a new kinship with my dentist. What about those horrible shapes that look like a dome shaped weapon. Have we really seen anyone look like that or with as much girth and can I be honest, do I really want anything that ugly near my Vajaja. The new vibrators come in different colors. That would be clever to have one in every color for everyday of the week. It reminded me of how mood rings work. Kind of? How about Hot pink today!  I feel so sexy! 

I guess the marketing people feel that you can now buy vibrators in the toothpaste aisle instead of feeling dirty and going to buy one of these in those creepy places where there are men in raincoats and they are leering at you. I don’t want to be that person who would be lurking in the back of one of those lude and shabby shops, you know where you drive by and the windows are blacked out.  I have never actually been to one of those shops, but in my mind that is the image I have conjured up and I think it fits

In the article, it compared men to Obi-Wan Kenobi and to wield the vibrator like the light saber.  All I could think of may the force be with me! I thought of Princess Leia with Hans Solo giving up the good fight and how about R2D2 and C3PO that would bring an electrical surge to you. Chewbacca, well that would be like being with the village people and personally I think Chewbacca had a thing for Hans Solo.

It seems to be dubious at best, but at least for all you women who may try this with your partner at least know one good thing, there is no shortage of batteries in the world. If you do want a threesome, it could be you, your partner and the energizer bunny that keeps on going and going and going…
