From the well duh! dept. A study in the Journal of Sexual Medicine reports that "Vibrator use was significantly related to several aspects of sexual function (i.e., desire, arousal, lubrication, orgasm, pain, overall function) with recent vibrator users scoring higher on most sexual function domains, indicating more positive sexual function."

The survey of over 2,000 women showed that 52% used vibrators. Users of vibrators were more likely to have had a recent gynecologic exam and to have performed a self exam. The study concludes that "Vibrator use among women is common, associated with health-promoting behaviors and positive sexual function, and rarely associated with side effects. Clinicians may find these data useful in responding to patients' sexual issues and recommending vibrator use to improve sexual function. Further research on the relationships between vibrator use and sexual health is warranted."

Take that Alabama.
