- Are you including devices that may or may not have also been designed with other functions in mind (such as 'personal massagers') where the function is not explicit?

- Has there ever been a hand-cranked vibrator?

- 'though' should be 'through'

- 'sexual stimulation through the creation of and contact with vibrations' sounds odd (specifically the 'creation of' part). Presumably no vibrator is actually designed to stimulate simply by creating vibrations, but only through contact.

I would perhaps rephrase as 'a device designed to create vibrations for the purpose of sexual stimulation through physical contact'. You could add back 'electrically powered' in there if there are no non-electrical devices worth considering.

There are no non-electrical ones in there that I have come across - I'm only dealing with contemporary ones.

Thanks :)

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' ;)

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.

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 :)
