Test my definitions!

I am going to post up here some definitions that I am using in my paper, and I would like for people to tell me where they see problems. Thanks!



1. Vibrator: an electrically powered device designed to create vibrations for sexual stimulation through physical contact. (edited)

2. Internal vibrators are designed primarily to stimulate erogenous zones inside the human body, including the the anal lining, the prostate, and the interior of the vagina.

3. External vibrators are designed primarily to stimulate erogenous zones outside the human body, including the clitoris, the labia, rim of the anus, and the penis.

4. Internal AND External vibrators are designed to simultaneously stimulate internal and external erogenous zones.

5. Internal OR External vibrators are designed to stimulate both internal and external erogenous zones, but not simultaneously.

Also - only using ones specifically designed for sex - no novelties, no "personal massagers".

But in the south, they're all "novelties." Otherwise it's against the law. Yay for prudish southern laws!

Yeah, I know - I went to Austin for some 'field research', and had a fun conversation with one of the ladies at Forbidden Fruit :D

But they are still *designed* explicitly for sex, even if you can't *say* that they are!

And it isn't all of the south - Just Texas and Georgia. I think there are two other states, one might be Colorado.... I don't remember the other one(s).

I think Arkansas and Tennessee.

Alabama!

Sure, uh-huh ... 'field research' ... tart!

So the one with solar panels to power it (to help save the enviroment) and the Hello Kitty ones are out?

And you can't forget Howard Sterns 'speaker technique'.
Technically that falls into your 'definition' ;)

[elanya.livejournal.com]

Solar panels still convert energy to electricity. Hello Kitty wasn't designed as a sex aid *and* is not currently commercially available so it is out twice. The speakers are not likewise designed for sex, so again - out.

There we go, I'm all about tightning up loopholes, which you just did for yourself.

Might want to add the word 'specifically' in there to clear up any misconceptions.

Years ago on campus I remember a few girls who put the washer on spin cycle just for some 'satisfaction' but used the one at mom's to clean the clothes ;)

"1. Vibrator: an electrically powered device specifically designed to create vibrations for sexual stimulation through physical contact."

I dunno, I think that with the "designed for....sexual stimulation" it is clear enough.

[roshatheundying.livejournal.com]

Just offering some advice, depends on how techincal the people you're presenting to are with the wording.

I mean some women specifically make an unbalanced load in the washer ;)

Good debate tho :)
