Medivibe didn’t begin as a medical innovation; in fact, it started with stories, vulnerable, courageous, and often deeply emotional, from men who trusted us with the most intimate parts of their lives. Those early conversations reshaped everything and helped us push beyond the limits of pleasure-tech and into the world of recovery, identity, confidence and connection.
They showed us what men really lose when their sexual function changes, and what they desperately hope to rebuild with the proper support. Those stories are the reason Medivibe exists, and some of them changed the course of our work forever.
The Letter That Reframed Our Mission
Shortly after launching PULSE, our first device, we received a long, heartfelt letter from a man who had developed quadriplegia after an accident. He told us that PULSE had “given me back a sense of hope, joy and self-esteem I believed was lost to me.”
Until that moment, we hadn’t fully realised what we had built, how vibration, frequency and hands-free stimulation could support men with severe sexual dysfunction, neuropathy or disability.
His words didn’t just move us. They transformed us. That was the moment we understood that what we were creating wasn’t solely about pleasure; it was about dignity, emotional recovery, identity, and the return of something every human was entitled to.
The Product Designer Who Rediscovered Sensation
Chris, one of our early product designers, openly admitted he wasn’t convinced that sex toys offered anything meaningful for men. Quite often, sex toys for men are seen as something cheap, hidden, or unnecessary, not something worth investing in. Culturally, men are taught that needing a device implies they’re not “enough,” that their bodies should work flawlessly on their own, and that seeking support signals weakness. Yet he took the time and tested the device, expecting nothing.
He came back stunned. “That felt like being 16 again, like my first orgasm.” His reaction changed everything. It shifted our approach to design and engineering and helped us understand that sexual function is not simply a question of working or not working. It is a sensory spectrum, one that can be rediscovered and even awakened after many years.
Through Chris, we realised that the real potential of vibration wasn’t only about restoration, but also rediscovery, fun, and curiosity about the possibilities of our pleasure, often left behind as we age. It could reconnect men to parts of themselves they thought were gone forever.
The Dutch Doctor Whose Research Gave Us a Blueprint
Around the same time, we came across groundbreaking research from a Dutch clinician who had identified the precise amplitude and frequency capable of inducing ejaculation in men with spinal cord injuries—honestly, some truly fascinating work.
His findings were technical, clinical and rigorously tested, and they confirmed what we were hearing directly from the men writing to us: specific vibrational frequencies activate specific neurological pathways that conventional approaches fail to reach.
His work became a foundation for what would eventually evolve into Medivibe’s design philosophy, the meeting point between engineering, anatomy and lived experience.
The Young Man Rebuilding Intimacy After Prostate Cancer
There is one story we have carried with us for years. A man in his early twenties, sadly being treated aggressively for prostate cancer, reached out to tell us he had used one of our early devices to achieve his first erection since surgery.
Not enough for intercourse initially, but enough to sit closely with his wife again. Enough to feel a potential return to his body. Enough to feel hope, feel in control, and feel able to access connection again.
His message taught us something medicine often overlooks: men are rarely grieving just the loss of the erections themselves, they are also grieving the loss of connection, confidence, closeness and partnership.
These Men Built Medivibe
These stories didn’t just inspire us; they shaped how we moved forward and why we believe so deeply in these devices. They redirected our engineering, redefined our philosophy, and grounded us in the emotional reality of male sexual function.
They showed us how much is at stake when men lose sensation, and how profound the impact can be when that sensation begins to return.
They taught us that hope can exist in vibration and that confidence can return through stimulation. That intimacy can be rebuilt through innovation rooted in compassion, not just in examination or in trying to fix.
Medivibe exists because men trusted us with their truth, and because their stories demanded that we dream bigger on their behalf.
