Question I was wondering if toys that vibrate can cause problems with sex, as in a normal sexual incounter? If you are use to feeling a constant vibration compared to a real physical penetration, will it cause issues having an orgasm?
Answer You shouldn't worry much about the long term effects of using a vibrator. Most vibrators do not have enough power to do much if any damage long term. If you are using, say, a Hitachi Magic Wand for 4 or more hours each day then technically you can temporarily desensitize your clitoris from prolonged use of said vibrator. Numbness is a sign to cut back on vigorous use, listen to what your body is trying to tell you but unless you use a very powerful vibrator, for a long period of time, all the time and really vigorously then I honestly wouldn't worry about it.
Here are some statistics about vibe use.
