[edit] Texas
- Okay, this article is begging the question: What kind of "educational purposes" are legal in Texas? - Sekicho 22:08, Nov 13, 2004 (UTC)

- Needs some information telling male users of such devices can permanently desensitize the penis.
- Educational purposes are usually for teaching proper method of condom use. Also, "types of vibrators" include strap-on's? Commking
-
- Why do people need educating in putting condoms onto vibrating phalluses?? --Sillylizard 20:54, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- See Dildos in Texas law. But what about the links at the bottom of this page - are they linkspam? They are nearly all comercial. Trollderella 19:08, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Link
I had to remove (spaces added):
To be able to save the page, somebody put it on the spamfilter, it needs to be removed. —Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 00:33, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
- Just to note that it's been readded now. — Matt Crypto 17:44, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Antique vibrator museum
Though on a commercial site, the link to Good Vibrations Antique Vibrator Museum is significant in that it is a notable collection of antique vibrators which corresponds to a physical museum display that is a San Francisco tourist attraction and a point of reference for those interested in the history of vibrators. The Good Vibrations collection has been cited by the media and travel sites, including Slate * Slate and the [1]. San Francisco Chronicle] and assorted tourist guides. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.202.60.22 (talk • contribs) 21:42, 23 June 2006.
I personally always like having two options for external links, especially when their coverage differs significantly (Good Vibrations has a broader cross-section in time, while the other seems to cover different mechanisms better), but what do other editors think of the link in question? I don't trust Bigsexyguide's judgement in the matter, as he seems to simply want to remove competitor's links from Wikipedia while adding his own. The above anon comment resolves to the Bay Area, and so could be affiliated with Good Vibrations. Does anyone else have an opinion on the link? — Laura Scudder ☎ 03:37, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Back Massage
Perhaps I'm niave, but I think some people really do use some vibrat ors for back and muscle masage. Some of them just don't look feasable as masturbatory devices (for either gender, perhaps I'm not imaginative enough), but DO provide very strong deep tissue vibration, expecially in the back and neck.
Also I won't deny the sexual uses of vibrators, but there are about 100 other uses for them as well, like mechanical power supply vibrators that turn DC into AC in old vacuum tube devices. (Which is what I was looking for). This article needs some expanding.
P.S. That thing about bringing some women to orgasm is true. As Bush would say, "It's hard work!" Wiki Tiki God 01:06, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Historical Medical Uses?
Does anyone know about vibrators used to treat "hysteria" in female psych patients?? Is this fact or myth? (About to look it up) 24.148.69.57 16:12, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
- It's a very well-documented fact. There is a good deal of sociological and historical scholarly interest in hysteria recently, and female hysteria is trying to cover this. — Laura Scudder ☎ 15:28, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

- Reading this makes sense of the first vibrators I saw advertised in my youth (a good few years ago now :-) ) which were called "Non Doctor" or something similar. It struck me as a curious name, but this article throws it into context. Cheers. --Bilbo B 09:36, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Cornell University
I removed a reference to a local scandal and a link to an incomprehensible article, as they refer only to parochial concerns rather than adding to the sum of knowledge on this subject. Scarlett McQueen 7 May 2006 (UTC)
