- Many people opt for vibrators for masturbation, and there are various kinds that are designed to stimulate both internal and external regions simultaneously or separately.

Relationship and intimacy coach, Tracy Ziman Jacobs, describes sexual pleasure as a human right that pre-supposes self-determination, consent, safety, privacy, bodily integrity, and the ability to communicate and negotiate sexual relations – these are integral to sexual health and wellbeing.
Self pleasure (masturbation) is one way to achieve sexual satisfaction. Therefore, many people rely on vibrators to help them achieve their desired sexual sensations alone or with a partner. However, finding the perfect vibrator can be tricky, especially when you are new to self-pleasuring.
Tracy says to start it's important to know what kind of vibrator you are looking for or interested in. "It's important to keep in mind what kind of sensations you like, and if you don't know yet- that's completely okay; maybe one of these might catch your attention," she says.

Tracy suggests that if you are starting off with external vibrators for the first time, try something small and unintimidating.
"Something like a handheld device (such as a bullet vibrator) that fits into the palm of the hands and has a vibrating function. The bullet vibrator is nice to start off with as you can start off slow and as you get more comfortable you can increase the frequency and speed," she says.
Starting off with external vibrators gives you the opportunity to fall in love with the intimate moments of self-pleasure, and slowly work your way towards using internal and dual vibrators. Once you are used to those, you can move on to different vibrators or dildos. The difference between a dildo and a vibrator is that the dildo has no vibration or settings, it is just a replica that can be used for penetration.
Tracy says, "Have fun and remember, we are here for a good time not a long time."
