Tantra Talks – with Devi Ward Erickson & Tugce Balik
We’re getting real. Like, clit-sensation-real.If you’ve ever wondered whether your favorite toy is actually helping your pleasure—or slowly turning the volume down on your sensitivity—this episode is for you.

In Episode 9 of Tantra Talks, Devi and Tugce dive into the truth about vibrators, overstimulation, and the not-so-subtle gaslighting happening in the pleasure product industry.

Spoiler: your body isn’t broken—but your vibrator might be breaking your body’s trust.What You’ll Learn:
  • How vibrators can desensitize the clitoral nerve endings over time
  • Why “needing stronger settings” is a red flag, not a flex
  • The link between vibrator use and emotional dissociation
  • How vibrators can mimic the impact of p🌐rn on the nervous system
  • Why the sex toy industry is gaslighting women (and who’s profiting)
  • What your downward voiding winds are—and why electronics can disturb them
  • How vibrators were invented (hint: lazy doctors + hysterical housewives 😬)
  • What to do if you feel dependent on vibrators—and how to reclaim your sensitivity
“It’s not about shame—it’s about sovereignty.”

This episode is not anti-toy. It’s pro-awareness.We’re not saying never use a vibrator. We’re saying: use it with intention—not to override your body, but to deepen your connection to it.

Because let’s be real:
Many of us turn to vibrators to shortcut intimacy with ourselves—especially when we’re exhausted, emotionally shut down, or disconnected in our relationships. But when you start losing sensation, grinding for release, and reaching for level 10 buzz just to feel something... it’s time to pay attention.

Reclaim Your Pleasure, Your Sensation & Your Power

Devi and Tugce explore how authentic Tantra, the Orgasmic Awareness Practice, and Tibetan 5 Element Tantra can help reawaken your nervous system, restore your sensation, and support your healing—without shame, and without outsourcing your pleasure to plastic.
