This article draws on the findings of qualitative research on the ways in which the domestication of sexual objects, such as vibrators, is central to relationships amongst (non)household members and social interaction within the home. Interviews with a purposive sample of 32 female participants were subjected to interpretative phenomenological analysis. In analyzing experiences and complex senses of belonging, the paper identified different circumstances and issues of public presentation and private realization that lie behind the meaning and use of vibrators. I suggest that objects, such as vibrators, come to be experienced as offering emotional, spatial, relational, and moral structures of both social integration and social distancing. All objects, even sex toys, contain culture, and by examining the domestication of such objects we can enrich knowledge of the affordances that constitute the materiality of sex.

本文利用定性研究的结果，对诸如振动器之类的性对象的驯化对于（非）家庭成员之间的关系以及家庭内部的社会互动的核心方式进行了定性研究。以32位女性参与者为目标的访谈对象进行了解释性现象学分析。通过分析经验和复杂的归属感，本文确定了振动器的含义和使用背后的不同情况和公共展示和私人实现的问题。我建议，诸如振动器之类的物体应具有提供社会融合和社会疏远的情感，空间，关系和道德结构的经验。所有物品，甚至是性玩具，都包含文化，
