A previously written article titled, It’s Time to Admit the Theragun is a Sex Toy, highlights the growing popularity in using a Class A medical device as a sex toy. The article goes on to explain the use of percussive devices or “massage guns” for sexual stimulation among amateurs and pornstars across multiple sites, sparking the new wave of therapeutic device claiming to speed sexual arousal and climax of both both male and females.

Although genders experience orgasms differently, pelvic floor contractions are associated with the intensity of all orgasms. The strength of these muscles are directly related to the intensity and duration of the orgasm. Stimulation and climax is dependent on the person in both men and women. Achieving an orgasm may simply come from clitoral or penile stimulation alone; however, studies show that both genders experience higher orgasmic pleasure through blended stimulation of multiple erogenous zones.1 2 In fact, both men and women reported quicker and increased intensity of orgasms as well as higher muscle temperature in the genitals (indicating level of arousal) induced by stimulation across multiple erogenous zones.3 4 5

In a self report, younger women described “a clitoral orgasm as localized, intense and physically satisfying, whereas a vaginal orgasm was described as stronger and longer lasting than clitoral orgasm, ‘deeper’, a ‘whole body’ sensation with throbbing feelings, and more psychologically satisfying”.4 Although subjective, most women found the most pleasure in a mix of stimulation to reach orgasm.

Men reported similar outcomes, specifically a difference in penile stimulation alone compared to prostate stimulation through anal penetration or vibration. Anal stimulation results in around 12 pelvic floor contractions, compared to the 4-8 pelvic floor contractions from penile stimulation during an orgasm.1 The two are explained to be distinguishable from one another, however a mixed stimulation may produce stronger and longer orgasms. Massage guns have been growing in popularity for male penetration and penile stimulation through different attachments.

In the article mentioned above, Theragun by Therabody, Inc. was the main device referred to when describing this new era of sex toy. However Jigsaw, TimTam, and Lovgun were also mentioned; Lovgun specifically, as it is marketed and designed mainly for sexual stimulation.
