Okay, here’s my blog post about my “research” into sex toys, written in a casual, first-person style:

So, I got curious. Like, really curious. All these vibrators and things… how do they actually work? I decided to dive in, for science, of course. 😉
The Big Question: What’s Inside?
First, I grabbed a cheap bullet vibe. Figured I’d start small, you know? I mean I unscrewed the bottom – that’s where the batteries go, duh. Usually just one or two AAAs. Nothing fancy there.
Then, I took the whole thing apart. I Pried it with my nail until they departed. Inside? A tiny little motor. Like, the kind you’d find in a kid’s toy. It had a little weight attached to the shaft, but it was off-center. That’s the key!
Making It Shake: The Off-Center Magic
See, when that motor spins, that off-center weight makes the whole thing wobble. The faster it spins, the more it wobbles. That wobble is the vibration! It’s super simple, really. It is the basic!
- Battery: Provides the power.
- Motor: Spins around.
- Off-center weight: Creates the wobble.
- Casing: Holds it all together (and makes it look pretty, I guess).
Getting Fancy: Different Speeds and Patterns
Okay, so that’s a basic vibe. But what about the ones with, like, ten different settings? I got my hands on a slightly more… advanced model. It had buttons and everything!

After some more… disassembly… I found a tiny circuit board. This little guy controls the motor. The buttons send signals to the circuit board, and the circuit board tells the motor how fast to spin, or to pulse on and off. That’s how you get those different patterns and intensities.
I even tried to trace the wires and figure out how it all worked. This thing is driving me crazy. It’s way more complicated than I thought! But basically, it’s still just controlling that little motor.
The Takeaway: It’s All About the Wobble!
So, there you have it. Sex toys, at least the vibrating kind, are pretty simple machines. It’s all about that little off-center weight spinning around. The rest is just fancy ways to control how fast and how often it spins. I experimented, I learned, and now I share my findings with you! Hope you found this as… enlightening as I did. 🤭
