Maines Conjecture
[edit]There is almost no good support for Maine's conjecture. When there is an argument that most historians have pointed out that there are serious flaws with that make it impossible, and its supporters, to the extent that there are any, have not even embraced her full hypothesis, I doubt it warrants this much space. I'm removing most of it.
For a good recap:

G-spot vibrator
[edit]The pronounced bump on the so-called G-spot vibrators is not really necessary. A slight curvature like every modern vibrator and every glans of a human penis has is sufficient. The fact that the G-spot vibrators are supposed to be specially designed for the G-spot only serves to improve sales, where they want to take advantage of the G-spot hype. A woman would not use a different vibrator for each area of her vulva and vagina. She would have to change constantly. An improved arousal curve is created by stimulating all areas at the same time. I think a photo of a rabbit vibrator in use is more important. The sex therapists who recommend a vibrator for women with orgasm problems certainly wouldn't recommend one that doesn't stimulate the clitoral glans. Inserting a cone into the vagina is not the solution, even if it vibrates. The woman could also use a human penis, and that's what doesn't work for some women if the clitoris doesn't receive any stimulation. There's no need to overemphasize the importance of the G-spot, it gets what it needs during penetration anyway. Sciencia58 (talk) 17:44, 13 July 2025 (UTC)

I included a few research papers that I came across while I was doing the copy edit. I also put all of the sources here that I removed from the article. Vibrator (sex toy) § Medical use is in dire need of expansion. I removed all of the extra sources, WP:OVERCITE and WP:CITATIONBLOAT for more info. There is a lot of good information in the sources I removed and more than enough to give that section a major upgrade. Snuggle 🖤 (they/them/it) (talk) 18:56, 30 November 2025 (UTC)
