Development

According to its inventor, Dave Lampert, the Sybian was first conceived in the 1970s and developed in 1983. A prototype was built in 1985 from

mounted on a wooden frame with a vibrator projecting through an opening inside the housing; a second prototype became the basis for current production models. Lampert and his team initially called the device ''Master Better'', shortened to "MB", for about four years before selecting a new name for it. The prefix ''syb'' in Sybian was derived from

From research and experience, Lampert theorized that the woman on top position during intercourse works best for female orgasm and that stimulation is enhanced when the penis remains fully inserted and the female partner rocks her pelvis forward and backward, making contact with the sensitive

Specifications

The Sybian typically weighs around , and usually measures wide, long, and tall excluding the rubber attachment with an power cord. The unit is designed to work with or without a penetration attachment. When in operation, the Sybian distributes vibrations externally along the user's pelvic floor, including clitoral glans, the introitus to their

The casing has built-in finger grips for carrying. Generally, the user of the Sybian straddles the machine and administers the dildo attachment, inserting it into the vagina or the anus. The vibration and rotation can be controlled by separate on/off switches and two rotary controls. The Sybian is typically sold with multiple attachments of varying sizes made from
