I was reading through a magazine at work today, and it said that using a vibrator for more than 20 minutes can give you nerve damage! Admittedly, it was Love It magazine (don't judge me, it was at work and it was lying around! :P) on the advice page, so it may not be the most reputable source in the world, but it had me shocked and made me wonder if I should change my habits. A decent solo session for me normally lasts 40-60 minutes, and although the vibe sessions I have with my boyfriend tend to be shorter (he makes me orgasm quicker and harder!) they still generally last more than 20 minutes.
Is there any credit to this idea? Do I have anything to worry about?
Oh I blinking hope not =S. Maybe their research is based on people getting used to the weak vibrations and needing harder stronger ones maybe? I can understand that but no way can a vibrator kill the nerve endings...... (I hope) =S

Has anything broken yet Ecks? Did your sessions used to last 5mins and now last two days due to losing sensitivity?
If not I'd write this 'advice' off as big shiny baubles!
I do think temporary desensitisation is normal and using vibes a lot can make it that bit harder next time but I really really doubt any thing permanent.
Oh and new scientific research now suggests that if the vibrations are strong enough they can loosen you r clitoris so really it's worth making the most of it before gravity and vibrations together conspire against you....
It -can- cause nerve damage. Not often that happens though, spesh after only 20mins.. But if you are using a strong vibe like a bullet or hitatchi wand or something pretty powerful, you get that 'numbness' that tends to wear off after a while. In some rare cases, the numbness can last a lot longer..
Thats all I know really.
so when it goes numb you stop cos what's the point if you can't feel it
Lumped in the same group as those two fabulous people. I can live with that! External Media

Some clits have been so affected by gravity they hang by like 6 inches and start to look a lot like penises... Well, that's what that girl Tony told me last night anyway.External Media

Don't think it's actually nerve damage though! Maybe temporary desensitisation but not actual damage :)

lol..... well any gay bar should be able to accomodate LMD hun *giggle*
Oh, you can feel it, until it stops and it's like... like.. having a strong vibrator on one area for a long time then stopping! (Can't explain it.)
Yeah, I know what you mean. You can still feel it, but it doesn't feel too...specific. Like your whole clit is just vibrating away, even when it's only on one small area. Sort of like poking yourself with something when you've got pins and needles. You can feel it, but only just, and not only in the area that you were touching.

Don't see how nerve damage would be possible!
Adx
there is a technical term for it, but basicaly its to do with the way nerves work.
In a nutshell the nerves detect the vibrations, however if they are regular and the same, ie you keep the same presure, then the body will get used to it, and "ignorn" the implues sent by the nerves, which is also why you can "feel" something there even if there is nothing, as the brain is ignoring the signals, doesn't register that there are no longer any signals being sent
