Stumpfst du ab? Wenn’s im Bett immer gleich läuft

Are you becoming numb? When things in bed are always the same

, by Jerina Beqiri, 2 min reading time

Those who always stimulate in the same way may become numb. Read here why variety in sex and with toys is important.

Always using the same vibrator, the same position, the same speed? It might sound routine, but in the long run, it can lead to your body becoming less responsive.

What is happening there?

If you're stimulated with the same intensity over a long period of time—for example, with a strongly vibrating toy—your nervous system can become "accustomed" to it. This doesn't mean you're "broken," but your sensitivity may temporarily decrease . This is also known as the "sensory adaptation" effect—your body no longer reacts as strongly to stimuli that are always the same.

Does this also apply to toys?

Yes, especially with high-frequency vibrating dildos or clitoral stimulators . If you can only get past a certain level of intense stimulation, it can become more difficult to respond to softer stimuli—such as touch, tongue, or less intense toys.


What helps?

  • Change the intensity or technique regularly
  • Use alternating pressure, circles or pulsations
  • Incorporate manual stimulation or new stimuli
  • Try a toy with natural movements or without constant vibration

Your nervous system can be trained – just like your desire. Variety is not only more exciting, but also healthier for your senses.


Toy tip:

1. Pulsating vibrator with changing modes
→ Ideal for surprising the body with different rhythms and reactivating sensitivity.
💡 Perfect for those looking for more variety in solo play.

2. Pressure wave vibrator with adaptive intensity
→ Instead of continuous vibration, it uses waves and pauses – particularly recommended when desire stagnates.
💡 Stimulates without overwhelming.

3. Hands-free dildo or natural toy without motor
→ Brings you back to your body’s own senses – slower, more conscious, more intense.
💡 Less technology, more feeling.
