Total Plunge Aluminum Cock Ring (Gear Essentials)

2012-05-21T21:38:00.000-06:00

click to enlarge

Total Plunge is a solid and very shiny aluminum cock ring designed to fit around the shaft and balls. Its impressive presence restricts blood flow out of the penis making for firmer, longer lasting erections. Simple to use and easy to love.

What I Really Liked

It looks awesome, it works well, and is built to last a lifetime. There's not much to argue with here; no batteries, no moving parts, no questionable materials, just artful simplicity and, as Leonardo said, "simplicity is the ultimate sophistication".

Physical Description

The diameter of this ring is dictated by the size ordered; 1¾" - 2⅛". The band is ¼" thick, nearly an inch wide, and decorated with 8 dimples. Made of aluminum, this ring is quite light in weight... a departure from Gear Essentials' original line of hefty stainless steel rings. It comes packaged in a re-usable aluminum tin padded with foam which is great for storage.

How To Use It

While flaccid... slip your balls through the ring first then tuck your dick through, slide the ring up securely against your pelvic bone, and then do whatever it takes to get yourself hard. Easy.

The ring will restrict blood flow in the veins leading out of your dick while the deeper arteries continue to bring fresh blood in. Don't worry, the blood can still escape it just needs a little more pressure behind it, hence the harder erection. When your arousal wains so will your hard on.

Sizing is important. You need a ring snug enough to hug... but not so snug that you need help from your local fire department to remove it. No worries, the Gear Essentials website has a helpful sizing guide with simple instructions to ensure the right fit. I measured myself and calculated I needed a size larger than any available... I ordered anyway and found my ring to be plenty big. In fact, the recommended calculation might be a tad conservative. The Total Plunge is my third ring and I asked for a smaller size this time... I actually like its fit better. Do the recommended measurement and don't worry about the ring being too small.

My Experience

Most sex products marketed to men are masturbatory, fitting a need to satisfy self. I really like my metal cock rings because they help me have better sex with my partner, which beats masturbation hands down (pun intended).

This ring, Total Plunge, is unlike my others because of its light weight. Stainless Steel rings are heavy, which I really like, but when worn casually (not for sex) gravity tends to reposition steel rings disadvantageously. Aluminum solves this problem, it stays put and I hardly know its there. It also has a lesser thermal density meaning that it doesn't feel as cold when I first put it on.

During sex this shiny beauty does its job without getting in the way. It looks cool too... Jane told me it looked like my dick was wearing a collar. LOL! Perhaps betraying her desire to be master of my cock. I stayed good and hard, even a tad purple-ish, and removed the ring afterward without any difficulty. My new Total Plunge cock ring is a winner!

Care and Cleaning

Aluminum is a soft metal and will scratch (like even on your zipper) so treat it with care or the bright shine of this ring will show the wear. Simple clean up with soap and water is all that is needed, dry it with a towel, and store it in its special tin. If you are concerned about germs, boiling the ring to sterilize will not harm it.

TOR II - Vibrating Cock Ring (Lelo)

2012-04-15T11:44:00.000-06:00

The Lelo TOR II is a high-end, vibrating cock ring. Waterproof, rechargeable, silicone, and with 6 speeds, it is a shared pleasure for playful couples. Lelo is a brand we love and they did not disappoint with the revamped TOR II.

What We Really Liked
• Strong vibration for its size
• Designed to enhance sex
• Quality manufacture
• Waterproof, rechargeable

Physical Description

The TOR II is a seamless, body-safe silicone ring with an embedded, multi-speed vibrator. The waterproof construction contains two raised buttons for on/off and vibration control as well as a port for recharging with an included transformer. The silicone is soft to the touch, strong enough to endure some stretching, and suitably elastic to provide a gentle squeeze.

It's Li-Ion battery charges up fully in about 2 hours, will operate up to 1.5 hours, and drives a vibrator 100% more powerful than in any similar product.

How To Use It

This cock ring is sized to encircle the base of the penile shaft (not around the balls too). Stretch it open a bit and slide your dick through, a little lube is recommended. The vibrating side of the ring can be positioned above or below the shaft, whichever is ideal to target your partner's clitoris in your position of choice.

Our Experience

The Green Lantern... that's the image that kept going through my head. A green ring of great power, capable of bringing imagination into reality by enabling its wearer to create solid constructs. Just how will I wield this awesome power and will it be for good or evil? LOL

Jane's and my experience was not suitable for the pages of a comic book, but the ring WAS powerful and it certainly helped create something solid in the real world. It makes my erection harder, turns my dick into a vibrator, and during full penetration unleashes its power directly into Jane's clitoris.

One of Jane's old favorite positions is Cowgirl and this is how we best enjoy the TOR II. With her on top, she has the control to best grind her clit against the vibrating body of the ring. At higher vibration settings, the vibrations can be felt (by both of us) down the full length of my shaft. It's a great feeling.

We really like the TOR II. It's simple to put on, simple to operate, and is a toy designed specifically to enhance the sex we have together. So many products in the industry are intended for solo use, it is a pleasure to find one which gives us both pleasure while we're enjoying each other. We have other vibes intended for use during sex (like the We-Vibe) but we greatly prefer the TOR II.

Care and Cleaning

As with all silicone toys, do not use silicone based lube or it will permanently damage the TOR II. The ring is waterproof so clean up is quite easy with soap and water. For added peace of mind you could use antibacterial soap but I would not suggest the dishwasher or boiling water as sanitation or sterilization techniques.

Every Lelo toy ships with a Satin storage bag for discreet storage and/or to keep the material safe from contact damage. The rechargeable Li-Ion battery can be stored fully charged for up to 90 days.

Where to Buy

You can pick up a TOR II at Eden Fantasys or, even better, in our store Sex Toys for Sexy Couples. BONUS: If you share this review on Facebook, Twitter, your blog, or anywhere else online, we'll send you a 15% off coupon for our store. Just contact us and tell us where you shared it. Thanks!

The Orion (Boris & Doris Custom Toy Store)

2011-10-23T11:33:00.000-06:00

The Orion

The Orion is a hand crafted, double ended, Stainless Steel tool designed for solo use as a G-Spot toy. Its versatility, however, is immediately apparent in its dual-sided shape which lends itself well to other uses by both women and men.

What We Really Liked
• Stainless Steel Material
• Multipurpose Features
• No Batteries, Lasts Forever

Physical Description

Crafted of solid Stainless Steel, the total length of The Orion is 9.5" and it weighs 12 ounces. A 45° degree curvature at one end leads to a single bulb shape with a 1" diameter (the tool's widest point). The other end has a series of 7 bulbs in tight succession, their size ranges from 0.5" to 0.94". The density of this tool, along with its highly polished finish, make it a pleasure to handle.

Care and Cleaning

The high polish on this tool makes it susceptible to scratching, care should be taken to avoid contact with hard materials which include jewelry (like rings) and bathroom faucets. Scratches in steel toys can produce micro-abrasions in delicate tissue, which could then introduce bacteria to the bloodstream. It's a low risk and is easily avoided with proper care.

If you do not have concerns about disease transmission, simple soap and water cleanup is sufficient. Stainless Steel also lends itself well to all manner of sanitizing including alcohol, dishwashers, and boiling. Just be mindful of physical insult to the toy (i.e. bumping against the side of a boiling pot) which could scratch the finish.

Our Experience

We both really like Stainless Steel toys in large part due to the material's thermal density. Warm it up or cool it down, toys of steel hold their temperature very well which is good for temperature play. A polished finish makes steel very slick with just a little lube, it is durable, cleans easily, and never disappoints.

The Orion's longer, more bumpy side makes an exceptional anal toy which Dick used on Jane while performing oral sex. Like anal beads but far better, a slow insertion and removal provides exquisite anal sensation, this lead to a very intense orgasm for Jane. Dick is anxiously awaiting his turn for the same oral/anal treatment, he admits to having a bit of lust for this toy.

The shorter side with the single bulb (the largest diameter) has a very clear purpose to provide focused pressure on the G-Spot and it does this very well for both solo use and partner play. The toy's angle makes it easy, though if you get lube on the "handle" side the job get a bit tougher. If you're goal is to squirt (or learn to) The Orion is an excellent choice!

We would be remiss if we failed to also mention the P-Spot (prostate) application of this tool as well. Just like use on the G-Spot, The Orion's angle is great for both solo and partner use. It is solid, unyielding, and provides pressure of fantastic quality which is easily manipulated with a hand. Do it for your health and/or do it because it feels incredible, but with this tool in your ass a great blended orgasm is almost assured.

Other Items of Note

Each Orion is hand crafted on a Lathe by Boris (of Boris & Doris) and shipped in a Muslin (cotton) storage bag. We really appreciate the personal feel of their small business venture and it contributes to our affection for their products. Doris is also a seamstress and makes deluxe storage bags which can be purchased separately.

Should your Stainless Steel toy become damaged (like scratched) Boris with repair it for you once at no cost. This is an excellent offer of support and reflects the very personal nature of their business. For this, and other reasons, we recommend The Orion (and their other Stainless Steel Sex Toys) very highly.

Thank you to Boris & Doris for providing this product to us at no cost in exchange for an honest review!

Tantus B-Bomb: Vibrating Anal Plug

2011-04-18T23:04:00.005-06:00

The Tantus B-Bomb is a medium sized anal plug good for use by anyone from novice to expert in anal play. Made of soft silicone, it is semi-rigid and forgiving to your body but still firm enough to make insertion very easy. Its shape is both considerate to your anus and filling for your rectum.

What I Really Liked
• Made of body safe soft silicone
• Comfortable insertion, filling shape
• Easy to clean

Physical Description

The B-Bomb is made of soft silicone with tapered tip, insertable length is 3¼", widest diameter is 1¼", neck diameter is ⅞". Unit includes a waterproof, watch battery powered, vibrator that inserts into the base of the plug. Vibrating bullet has single speed on/off capability.

Function

B-Bomb is a plug which is inserted anally and can be retained with muscular control. The base has a gentle slope which is comfortable for your butt cheeks, permitting you to sit with the unit inserted without undue discomfort. Battery powered, water proof bullet slides into base (with a little lube) and delivers vibration throughout the silicone plug.

Care and Cleaning

Silicone material necessitates non-silicone lube (water based is recommended) and cleanup is easy with warm soap and water though it is also dishwasher safe, boilable, and bleachable. Store out of direct contact with other silicone toys.

My Experience

Insertion is as easy and comfortable as you could expect from a medium sized plug. It is very nice for brief or extended wear while sitting, though I found it difficult to keep in while standing or walking. During sex I was unable to retain this plug without assistance from a hand; partly due to the relatively similar diameter of neck and body, partly due to sloped sides of the flared base.

Vibration from the waterproof bullet is high intensity buzz and is either on or off. The silicone material transfers the physical vibration well while at the same time dampening the intensity. Sitting on the plug with the vibe in place will activate the power button. I find the extra stimulation from the bullet pleasant but have used it sparingly. There is no obvious prostatic pleasure for me from this plug, its benefit is derived from simple anal and rectal displacement... which can be very enjoyable.

This is a well made silicone butt plug capable of delivering great pleasure. Don't expect the B-Bomb by Tantus to stay in on its own without focused anal retention or external physical help. It is an ideal size for those that appreciate a filling feeling, and is the best shape for insertion and removal I have experienced to date.

Lelo Billy - Vibrating Prostate Massager

2011-03-26T01:31:00.003-06:00

(click images to enlarge)

The Lelo Billy is a vibrating prostate stimulator which has more than satisfied my envy of Jane's Lelo toys for ladies. It's gentle when you want it, strong when you need it, versatile, long lasting, rechargeable... I am nothing but impressed.

What I Really Liked

• Rumbles (not buzzes) with good power
• Rechargeable and goes for hours
• Silicone texture/properties are ideal
• Quiet even when turned up
• Versatile use as general massager
• Girth and angle are great for P-Spot

Physical Description

At 6.5" in length (4" insertable) and 1.12" in diameter, the Billy is moderately sized and very comfortably inserted. A modest curve in the body permits easy focus on the prostate without being overly aggressive. The business end is made of silky smooth body safe silicone which has a matte texture that lube clings to (but is easily cleaned).

It comes packaged in Lelo's signature box (very nice presentation), which is suitable for storage, and comes with a charger, satin storage bag, warranty booklet, and operator's manual.

Function

The Billy's controller is a depressible disk on the unit face with 4 options; vibration intensity up/down, and mode selection up/down. There are 5 modes to choose from which include; pulsing of varying speeds, waves of vibration, and constant vibe. Each mode can be fine tuned in any of 7 available speeds which range from gentle hum to intense rumble.

Unit is easily rechargeable and includes a lit LED ring around the control disk that indicates; low battery, active charging, and a full charge. Complete charge takes a little over an hour and (in my experience) the vibrator operates continuously for more than two hours before need for recharge. Billy's Li-ion battey (like the one in your cell phone) does not require any special care like the NiCad battery in your cordless drill. Leave it plugged in, let it run down, whatever.

Your prostate is the obvious target for this toy, but it also serves very well wherever vibration can be appreciated. For me, the perineum and frenulum also respond very well to the Billy.

Care and Cleaning

This toy is made of silicone so use of silicone based lubes will damage it. The manufacturer recommends water based lubes only.

The Billy is not waterproof, that is to say it is not submersible. Therefore you must take some caution when cleaning it to avoid the charging port, which is covered by a soft plastic tab. I have found cleaning with warm soap and water to be very easy. Storage in the included satin drawstring pouch will ensure your toy's material integrity.

My Experience

Consistent with other prostate simulators I've used, the effect on my prostate is slow to build; at first it's a challenge to focus beyond the anal aspects, but as arousal progresses prostate sensation becomes more consuming. Where Billy goes beyond the others is its power... as my need for stimulation increases the adjustable vibration and modes of operation deliver!

The Billy is insertable but is not meant as a stay-put plug so you'll need to keep one hand on the unit to prevent an undesired exit. I found solo play with Billy while also masturbating a bit positionally awkward (due to the hands-on requirement) but I got over that quickly. The orgasms I have with Billy are quality enough to forgive any shortfalls.

Vibration from the Billy is focused and penetrating. When inserted anally and focused on my prostate, Jane noted that she could feel the vibration all the way through the tip of my dick.

While great for prostate massage, I found this power alluring for perineum and frenulum massage as well. Sitting on the vibrating Billy while it lays flat beneath my perineum is a distracting and comforting sensation while sitting at the PC or watching a movie. I've used it to tease out throbbing responses from the head of my dick and I've grasped it lengthwise astride my cock to stroke myself with its persistent rumbling. All very good, I assure you.

A minimal amount of water based lube glides onto Billy's matte textured silicone and stays put. A light sheen is all that's needed for comfortable insertion. The silicone itself has a silky smooth feel to it, not tacky like some silicone toys, it cleans easily, and does not attract lint like I've come to expect from the material. I don't know what Lelo did different than everyone else, but their silicone is great!

The Billy is a fantastic toy and rising quickly in the ranks of my top favorites for masturbation. I haven't recruited Jane to use the toy on me [yet] but I expect to soon. A blow job while her hand works control of the Billy on my prostate would be extraordinary.

Lelo warranties the quality of my Billy for a full year. And for 10 YEARS they guarantee it will continue to satisfy without defect, promising a generous trade-in if it falters. I'm deeply satisfied with (and by) this product and cannot recommend it highly enough to those who appreciate prostate play.

The New (More Powerful) Lelo Mia

2011-03-04T23:10:00.004-07:00

(click to enlarge)

The newest Lelo Mia is beautifully crafted, sleek, innovative, and a powerful bullet-type vibe by Lelo, well-known maker of luxury pleasure objects. This new version of the Mia boasts twice the power of its predecessor!

Physical Description

Made of "body safe" silicone with a silky smooth gloss finish, she feels like hard plastic. Styled to resemble a tube of lipstick, she is discreet enough to take (or store) anywhere!

More than that, this deceptively powerful vibrator is USB chargeable... making her good for travel or a quick recharge anywhere you find a computer. If you have an iPhone, you already have a wall adapter which would work as well. The Mia comes with a USB extension cord but, plugged directly into a USB port, she looks like a sleek flash drive.

The Mia is packaged is Lelo's signature gift box along with a USB extension cord, user manual, warranty information, and slick white satin storage bag.

Function

Unlike other bullet vibes I've owned the Mia's variable speed is truly infinitely variable, meaning that the power does not step up or down in short jumps but rolls smoothly from low to high and back again. And she's quiet for a vibe of her strength!

Her lowest setting is pleasant and soothing but crank her all the way up and the vibes are powerfully intense while not being an over the top buzz kill. Also unique for a bullet vibe is her 3 different pulsing options, offering even more variety and pleasure.

Mia is simple to operate; push the plus button to turn her up, push the minus button to turn her down (and off). To activate the pulsing modes turn her all the way up then press and hold the plus button for 2 seconds, press the plus button again to change modes. She has a quick pulse, a medium pulse, and a short rapid pulse in addition to a constant vibration setting. The controls are easily accessible during play and you can lock the Mia, by holding the plus and minus buttons at the same time, before tossing it in your purse or slipping it in your pocket.

The battery lasted well over two hours on medium speed in my tests and took about an hour and a half to recharge completely. An LED light on the vibe tells you when the battery is low, charging, and fully charged.

Care and Cleaning

Since Mia is made of silicone it is advisable not to use silicone lubes as this may damage her finish. Mia should be cleaned with warm soap & water though she is not submersible, the USB port should not get wet. I was a little leery of getting her wet at first but the cap's seal seems to keep the inside dry during cleaning.

(click to enlarge)

Storage
Mia comes with a satin storage bag but she's equally at home in plain view thanks to her whimsical styling. Keep her in your purse, makeup bag, bathroom drawer, wherever a tube of lipstick would comfortably call home.

My Experience

I've owned many bullet vibes over the years and I have to say, Mia is by far the most impressive I have ever used. That said...when I get a new toy, my first test is to see how easily it will get me off. I came quickly with Mia on a medium-high speed. On another occasion, I took some time and really put her to the test with some slow solo play trying out all of her features. She did not disappoint! Dick and I also tried her out together during sex, she was not obtrusive and was great for clitoral stimulation during penetrative sex in a variety of positions.

Mia is fairly quiet which I can attest to in 2 ways. I had her in my pants carrying on a conversation with Dick and he had no idea she was in there. I also put her in my pants sitting at a busy rec center (while our kids were swimming) and felt comfortable that no one around me knew what I was up to. ;o)

All Lelo products (Mia is no exception) come with a 1 year warranty which assures they will operate without flaw for the first year... this seems generous to me. In addition, Lelo guarantees their products for up to 10 years in the form of a trade-in exchange (50% value) for defective products. Nice!

I am very excited to have added the Lelo Mia to my collection of toys, her variable speed, size, versatility, and discreet nature make her a must have!

Thank you to the good folks at Lelo for providing this product to us at no cost in exchange for an honest review!

Aneros MGX

2011-01-14T22:56:00.010-07:00

Physical Description
The Aneros MGX is rigid plastic, 4¼" insertable length, and angled modestly to target the prostate. Upward curving tab contacts (and applies pressure to) the perineum, opposite curled arm acts as handle for removal.

Material
Smooth, non-porous plastic. Phthalates free, hypo-allergenic, food-grade material, and latex free. Can be used with water, oil, or silicon based lubricants. Safe to store with toys of other materials.

Function
Developed as a medical device for treatment and prevention of prostatitus, this patented device is now marketed for sexual pleasure as well. When inserted anally, the length and angle are just right to provide modest pressure on the prostate. The neck of the Aneros is such that contractions of the anal sphincter pull the device inward. With the perineum tab acting as an anchor point, this inward motion translates into forward pressure against the prostate. Operation is hands-free.

Rhythmic contractions of your ass muscles produce a massaging effect on the prostate that can lead to incredible orgasm and improved ejaculate volume. Successful use of this product requires extended sessions (30 minutes plus) with an almost meditative focus. As arousal peaks, anal contractions can become involuntary and more rapid. Many users report orgasm is possible without any penis stimulation.

Cleaning
Cleaning is simple with soap and water, alcohol, or boiling. Pat dry, no special care required.

My Experience
This is not my first Aneros product, I previously had the smaller Helix which helped me discover the pleasure in prostate massage. It was a gentle teacher, brought some incredible orgasms, and improved the strength and intensity of my ejaculations (even when not in use). However, it had an aggravating flaw and I eventually discarded it. The perineum tab was small and thin and as it applied continual pressure to a very sensitive area it began to feel like a plastic knife stabbing me (painful). The device could only be used if I placed something between it and me, in most cases it was a cotton cosmetic disc (it's nice to have a wife around). This only delayed the inevitable discomfort however.

The Aneros MGX is slightly larger than the Helix, which gives it a more filling feeling and less internal movement. Aneros recommends the Helix for first time users and the MGX for more experienced men. I found the MGX to be equally effective as the smaller Helix and I appreciate the fuller sensation provided by the larger size. The perineum tab is larger too... I hoped it would deliver pleasant pressure instead of pain, but it didn't. Benefit of the tab's slightly larger profile is completely negated by its more aggressive posture which unforgivingly buries itself in a very tender spot.

I get great pleasure from the MGX but only in conjunction with a toy stolen from my children. The toy is called a "popper" and looks like half of a hollow rubber ball, it's flexible, fits nicely over the Aneros' perineum tab, and stays put during use.

The MGX is a great device capable of delivering intense pleasure during masturbation or sex with a partner. It's healthy for your prostate, is good training for prostate pleasure, and improves the strength of pelvic floor muscles.

Tantus Ryder

2011-01-14T22:34:00.008-07:00

Physical Description
The Tantus Ryder is soft silicone anal plug, 3¾" insertable length, 1½" diameter. Designed to slide in easily and narrow neck prevents it from slipping out while you reach orgasm.

Material
The Ryder is made of 100% medical grade silicone, is flexible, hypoallergenic, and warms to the body.

Function
Inserts fairly easily with non-silicone based lube. I found the size to be larger than I expected and need a little warm up to accommodate its girth. Once in, the plug provides a pleasant, full feeling, stays put, and the flared base fits comfortably between the cheeks.

Cleaning
Plug is boilable, bleachable in a 10% solution, and dishwasher safe.

Our Experience
The Ryder is exactly what I want in a butt plug; comfortable going in and out, stays put, filling, and easy to clean. Extended wear (more than about an hour) can result in some discomfort between the cheeks where the rectangular base contacts your sensitive parts. This seems to be common for many butt plugs and is easily forgiven in light of the Ryder's many desirable qualities.

When I (Dick) wore the Ryder during sex with Jane the feeling of fullness, and the added rhythmic pressure against my prostate during pelvic driven thrusting, was great! I had an incredible orgasm, much more intense than I have without the plug in.

When Jane wore the Ryder during vaginal sex she also experienced a greater sense of fullness, had an enhanced orgasm, and I benefited from a noticeably tighter ride.

Overall, we give the Ryder high marks and expect to use it again and again.

Fukuoku Twist and Shout Review

2011-01-14T17:01:00.003-07:00

At first sight the Fukuoku Twist and Shout looks like a fun toy. In general, the Fukuoku Twist and Shout appears to be well constructed. The control is on the end of the dildo so it's wireless, and takes 4 AA batteries.

The box claims that the cover material is 100% surgical grade silicone and promises to be phalate free. It's soft and doesn't have any nasty plasticy odor, I love the color too (purple just happens to be my favorite color).

This toy features a dildo which is a nice length and diameter and has lots of stimulating ridges. It also has a clit vibrator. There are 3 functions to play with; the dildo rotates in 11 variations, and also vibrates in 11 different variations, the clit vibrator...well, vibrates also in 11 variations. The box claims 12 vibration and 12 spin patterns. I counted 11 with the 12th option perhpaps being off. All the variations make this a fun toy to play and experiment with. It also claims to be programmable, and comes with easy to follow directions. I find it more fun to manually play around with its possibilities but may end up coming up with a program as I develop favorites.

I am not particularly fond of the dildo twisting feature. I find it to be noisy and distracting, and I can't say it really adds anything to the experience for me. I actually leave that feature off. I do rather enjoy the vibrating feature of the dildo however; and as I said, like playing with all the different variations. The dildo is also good for thrusting, the ridges provide nice internal stimulation.

The clit vibrator is the best part of this toy in my opinion, however; I did find the need to modify this feature a bit. It had a pointy extention fin-type thingy that I found to be rather uncomfortable, but after it's removal (simply with an exacto knife), it was awesome. It offers a pretty powerful buzz and the different variations are incredible! Again, very fun to play with. My favorite variation starts out strong and gradually gets weaker until it's gone and then starts over again. You get an "edging", teasing effect, which I happen to be a huge fan of. OMG!! I found the controls a little hard to reach, but once you have your program set, it stays inserted pretty well, so you can just lay back and let it do it's thing.

It is very easy to clean, seems to be withstanding frequent washing and it appears that the battery compartment stays dry. Overall, this is a very enjoyable toy and is quickly becoming one of my favorites.

Sex Is Fun (New and Improved by GreatSexGames.com)

2011-01-04T14:05:00.000-07:00

We previously reviewed card game Sex Is Fun and have since received an improved version from the game maker. There have been modest improvements to the game content, a HUGE upgrade to the game's aesthetics, and now it even costs less!

Version Improvements
This iteration of the Sex Is Fun Card Game is clearly a class above its predecessor in terms of quality and reflects the pride of its creator. Some of the many improvements include:

Thicker (stiffer) and glossier cards
A sturdy box to store the game in
Twice as many yellow (Sexy Surprise) cards
Clearer direction for optional wagering play
And best of all... original art covers everything!!

We are very impressed with the new production quality of this game and surprised that the upscale improvements are accompanied by a lower price. This is really a great game!

Physical Description
Two decks of 54 playing cards each (his and hers) with 2 pages of written instructions. Paper quality is superb and on par with what you'd expect from a really nice deck of playing cards. Printing quality is excellent and color is vivid. Original artwork is very good, playful, and not sexually graphic. Play requires a not-included score keeping mechanism (i.e. poker chips).
See sample card images here

Basic Rules
The game consists of two decks; one for him, and one for her. Each gets sub-divided into 6 categories and players take turns drawing cards and following printed instructions. Points are earned for knowing or predicting your partner's responses as well as for strategic play. Length of game depends on your chosen scoring goals and can last from less than an hour to several weeks.

Unique Features
This game has a playfully competitive twist that we have not seen in other adult games, strategy borrows from poker and includes bluffing and wagers. Game focus is not solely about initiating sexual activity and promotes sexual discussion and discovery (sex will follow though, trust us!).

Target Audience
This is a game of intimate sexual exploration and discovery. Couples still learning about each other, or who need a catalyst for intimate discussion, will find this game both fun and useful for sexual exploration with each other. Couples in long term relationships (like we are) who are already openly communicative about sex and desire may not experience the full potential of this game.

Down Sides
Because this game is intended to spawn communication and learning between couples, it runs a short trip to obsolescence for any given couple. However, with some creativity on the part of players, we can see that repeated play might be redirected to initiating activity in unpredictable ways.

Our Experience
Jane and I have been married for 16 years and talk openly about sexual topics with each other so this game did not really push any boundaries or open any new doors for us. Still... there were funny and surprising things we learned about each other that have since come back as playful jabs and inside jokes.

Fleshlight Ribbed

2010-11-20T10:57:00.008-07:00

Physical Description

The Fleshlight Ribbed is a rigid, plastic encased masturbation sleeve made of patented Superskin® material. Total length is 10", will accommodate a full shaft up to 8", and is easily gripped with a single hand. The entry of this model's sleeve is formed to resemble a labia and its inner chamber is textured with modest ribbing.

It's in the shape of a flashlight but the effect is more whimsy than practical camouflage. The unit consists of two main parts; the rigid exterior, and a floppy removable sleeve which can be replaced or interchanged with a different Fleshlight style.

Material

Sleeve insert is Phthalates and Latex free, has a realistic velvety feel, no discernable odor, and excellent elastic quality. Manufacturer suggests using only water based lubes.

The touch of this material is seductive and its "lips" feel almost identical to my earlobe when rolled between thumb and forefinger. Although I would have been a bit embarrassed if anyone walked in on me during this test... I nibbled on the labia with my lips and can tell you they are a bit firmer than my wife's inner labia but softer than her outer.

Function

Entry is easy and tightness of the sleeve is realistic. The opposite end of the Fleshlight's case has a screw cap which can be adjusted to permit or restrict air flow (though it does not seal completely). This adjustment feature works well and provides variation I have not seen in similar products. The Fleshlight can be used as traditional stroker or held in a fixed position to accommodate thrusting.

Cleaning

Manufacturer recommends rinsing clean with water and the optional use of isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol if desired. Soaps and/or excessive heat (i.e. boiling) are purportedly deleterious to the Superskin® material. Sprinkling with corn starch is recommended to prevent surface tackiness.

I found cleaning per instruction to be simple and easy. Less straightforward, however, is drying which seems essential to me since the sleeve is housed in a nearly air-tight container. Coating a "rinsed" sex toy in corn starch (complex sugar) and then storing it wet in a sealed container sounds like a recipe for future wiener-rash if you ask me.

My advice is to rinse it really well with very warm water (with pressure if possible), much of semen is not water soluble so you'll be depending on mechanical lifting by the water. Then pour some alcohol through the center... it will kill bacteria yes, but more importantly, it acts as a drying agent by chasing the water away and evaporating quickly.

After cleaning, the material will be very sticky so use the cornstarch!

My Experience

My Fleshlight's disembodied vulva is oddly, embarrassingly, arousing on some primitive level. It looks like a pussy, it feels remarkably like a pussy, and despite my higher brain's acknowledgement that it is inanimate... it sure is fun to play with! Not to mention that it swallows my entire cock, feels incredibly good, and is incapable of saying "not tonight".

The ribs internal to this model can be easily distinguished with inserted fingertips but are not entirely obvious once stretched around an erect cock. When masturbating, the ribs are most noticeable by the sound they make... sort of like fingers running up and down the teeth of a comb, not obviously enhanced stimulation.

Still... I found NO trouble enjoying this product and will continue to do so. It satisfies!

Other Notes

Her name is Hot Lips. She's a bit colder than the real thing but she is far more versatile! I took her insert into the shower with me for cleaning, where I have a handheld showerhead that is more like a hose than anything, filled her Superskin® vagina from the backend and let it run out the front so it looked like she was peeing. LOL! When my wife, Jane, got in the shower with us Hot Lips got so excited she squirted all over Jane. ;o)

Despite recommendation, I used a mild glycerin based bar soap to clean her. The sleeve cannot be turned inside out (invaginated) so this also gave me good opportunity to explore my fisting fantasy... to Jane's great relief.

And while you should never blow air into a real vagina, I can blow Hot Lips up like a balloon!

Unpredictable (GreatSexGames.com)

2010-07-19T21:39:00.005-06:00

Physical Description
Deck of 53 playing cards plus one card with written instructions. Paper quality is excellent, on par with what you'd expect from any good deck of playing cards, and printing is top-notch! Production quality is really very good.

The artwork on these cards is cartoony and fun, bodies are depicted with somewhat realistic proportion, and the style is whimsical and light-hearted. You'll laugh before ever playing the game... just flipping through the deck.

You can see sample cards here but the backs of the cards are worthy of praise as well. They resemble classic playing cards but a closer look reveals artfully done, suggestive imagery. Too funny!

Basics of Game Play
Each card in the deck depicts a single, distinct sexual act and the deck consists of four basic groups of sexual activity; foreplay, coreplay, intercourse, and afterplay. Rules included suggest a semi-random selection of cards by each party and then a final, shared, pairing of those selected down to an agreed upon four. That's when the sex begins...your fate is in the cards.

Of course, with a willing partner and a fistful of 53 distinct sex acts, the rules are your own to make. Just in case you're not the creative type, the creative game makers came up with some alternate rules to keep you entertained.

Target Audience
The game involves mostly vanilla-type sex and ranges from mild to wild. The suggested rules set a light-hearted and cooperative tone which gives room for boundary exploration while still providing a safe "out" for the less adventurous.

New couples still learning about each other, or those who need a platform for discussion, will get a lot out of this playful game. Long-term relationships could also benefit from this type of play... it takes all your regular routines, tosses in some stuff you tried once years ago, sprinkles a little spice, and throws it all in the blender. What comes out is, well... unpredictable.

Our Experience
We laughed. We flipped through all the cards together and chuckled at the art. We played by the rules, came up with sexy combinations of our favorite exchanges, and found new gems tucked inside the deck we can't wait to try. Next time we play, we'll mix up the rules for even more variety. I expect it will be quite some time before this deck of fun wears out its usefulness.

Sex Is Fun (GreatSexGames.com)

2010-07-01T12:54:00.006-06:00

Physical Description
Deck of 100 playing cards with 2 pages of written instructions. Paper quality is excellent and on par with what you'd expect from any good deck of playing cards. Printing quality is fair with some notable color variation and a few miscuts. Play requires a not-included score keeping mechanism (i.e. poker chips). See sample card images here.

Basic Rules
The deck gets divided in two, half the deck for him and half for her, then sub-divided further into 6 categories for each player. Players take turns drawing cards and following printed instructions. Points are earned for knowing or predicting your partner's responses as well as for strategic play. Length of game depends on your chosen scoring goals and can last from less than an hour to several weeks. See written rules sheet here.

Unique Features
This game has a playfully competitive twist that I have not seen in other adult games, strategy borrows from poker and includes bluffing and wagers. Game focus is not about initiating sexual activity but rather sexual discussion and discovery (sex will follow though, trust me!).

Target Audience
As the game title's subtext states, this is "a game of intimate sexual discovery". Couples still learning about each other or who need a catalyst for intimate discussion will find this game both fun and useful for sexual exploration with each other. Couples in long term relationships (like we are) who are already openly communicative about sex and desire may not experience the full potential of this game.

Down Sides
Because this game is intended to spawn communication and learning between couples, it runs a short trip to obsolescence for any given couple. However, with some creativity on the part of players I can see that repeated play might be redirected to initiating activity in unpredictable ways.
At $50 the retail price is on par with decent sex toys (which this is) but seems a little steep for a deck of cards. I suspect production cost is high. I've done my share of printing and when I consider that Sex Is Fun is 5 cents per card the retail price doesn't sound that unreasonable to me.

Our Experience
Jane and I have been married for 16 years and talk openly about sexual topics with each other so this game did not really push any boundaries or open any new doors for us. Still... there were funny and surprising things we learned about each other that have since come back as playful jabs and inside jokes.

Tool Box (Doc Johnson)

2010-05-02T09:02:00.005-06:00

Physical Description
This sleeve is on the short side (for a sleeve) at 4 inches and makes no pretense that the head of your dick will not pop out of the end while stroking. The opening on one end is larger than the other, which eases entry into the sleeve, and I actually enjoyed the feeling of exiting the smaller end which provided great sensation for my glans and frenulum. Also, if you turn the sleeve around and enter the smaller end there is a nice tight ring that slides up and down your shaft which I though felt a bit like anal sex.

The inside of the sleeve is covered with small bumps meant to create added sensation. Between the soft nature of the material and the stretch it endured to accommodate me, the texture was almost unnoticeable.

The outside of the sleeve has three prominent ridges which fit in the spaces between the four fingers of your hand, this makes for a solid grip even if you have managed to get some lube on your hands. And if you flip the sleeve inside out and fuck it that way the extra bumps really add to the experience. I actually prefer to use it this way.

Material / Texture
The sleeve is made from, what Doc Johnson calls, "UR3" which I believe denotes the 3rd generation of Doc Johnson's Ultra-Realistic line. It is soft to the touch, very elastic, yet firm enough to support its own weight without becoming misshapen.

Out of the box, the material is not tacky at all and has an odor that I can only describe as "rubberized vanilla". After washing thoroughly with soap the odor is still present and the material becomes slightly tacky. Enclosed instructions indicate talcum powder can be used to prevent this.

Usage and Variations
The Tool Box is a masturbation sleeve meant for solo or partner play. It fits comfortably in one hand and has a seductive feel to it which makes handling it fun. Slide it up and down your shaft or pivot it in circles around the head and you'll come in no time.

There are not many "other uses" for the toy but enjoyable variations include; entering it from the other (wrong) end, or flipping it inside out... both worth trying!

It is stretchy enough that you could probably get two dicks inside of it. Also, with both ends of the sleeve open, two guys could go tip-to-tip and stroke each other with a single motion.

Personal Experience
I have used and enjoyed the sleeve several times and even reached for it recently for relief after testing a truly awful sleeve by another maker. I like that this sleeve is on the small side (not tight, just minimal) and offers variation of use. Some masturbation sleeves have a rigid plastic shell (like the Fleshlight) but the Toy Box's design allows me to control tightness with my grip.

Care and Maintenance
The material is safe to use with water and silicone based lubes. Oddly, when I used silicone lubes the slipperiness seemed to diminish and I had to re-apply. Water-based lube Liquid Silk worked best for me.

Cleanup is simple and easy with water and soap, the sleeve turns inside out to allow for thorough cleaning. Pat dry with a soft towel and sprinkle with a little talc if you want to avoid a tacky feel.

VixSkin Dildo -Tex (Vixen Creations)

2010-02-17T08:22:00.002-07:00

Not your simple everyday dildo! The vixens at Vixen Creations got creative with this one... a semi-rigid core encased in fleshy feeling soft silicone called VixSkin. It feels remarkably like the real thing.

This model, "Tex" has 6½ insertable inches and is 1⅝ inches in diameter making it a comfortable, but not intimidating, experience. High quality silicone makes the dildo easy to clean, it is dishwasher safe, and you can even boil it for 3 minutes to sterilize... which is a big plus for any toy used both vaginally and anally.

Dick Says: Feels so real, I get a bit self conscious holding it my hand! We've used this toy most commonly in partner sex... I use it on Jane for vaginal penetration during oral sex, or in her ass while fucking her vagina (ooh, she loves that!), and she uses it in our Double Trouble Harness for a bit of role reversal in my ass. I must admit I (perhaps foolishly) "modified" the dildo by trimming off the circular base above and below the shaft. I did this so that the disc does not interfere with oral attention to Jane's clit or ass while the dildo is in her pussy. Now I have guilt for messing with an otherwise ideal toy... but it's still a lot of fun (and still stays in the harness just fine).

Jane Says: Definitely the most realistic dildo I have seen (and felt) to date. I like that it's not rigid and has a little give to it. The base gives you something to hold on to for solo play and makes it a great anal toy as well. It's the perfect length and girth for me for double penetration and a good "replacement" for the real thing when Dick is not available.

Double Trouble Harness (Libida)

2010-02-16T19:22:00.003-07:00

Versatility is the hallmark of the Double Trouble Harness. Two openings in front accommodate both a dildo and a flesh-n-blood boner at the same time! For heterosexual couples like us, that means; he can give her the pleasure of double penetration, and she can reverse the typical anal taboo and fuck him in the ass!
(There are also other uses for a harness like; fall-back for men with erectile dysfunction, and phallic play for lesbian partners, but I will not delve into those here since I have no particular experience)

There are three different sized rubber rings to hold your dildo in place, giving you some flexibility of choice. It's leather... we like that! The straps are easy to adjust and stay put... we like that too! In fact, once adjusted we found the fit comfortable and snug without much play to it.

Dick Says: I put my cock and balls through the lower opening so it fit around the base of my dick like a cock ring would. I generally use a fairly large cock ring and this hole was big enough to accommodate me. After some use, the leather at the top of the hole began to irritate (dig into) my shaft a little... but not so much that it distracted me. Mechanically, trying to penetrate Jane with two dicks at the same time (one which was numb ;o) proved to be a bit of a challenge at first but she helped me work my way in. The gap separating my two dicks was a tad more than the distance between Jane's vagina and ass. This was most evident when trying to thrust deeply, which kept penetration on the shallow side.

Jane Says: I did not find anything to be uncomfortable what-so-ever, and could easily wear this harness for an extended period of time. It was easy to use, easy to put on and take off and made fucking Dick a pleasurable and empowering experience.

Leather can't be laundered but we found cleanup with mild soap and a damp washcloth very easy. Leather is a porous material and difficult to sanitize (though we've heard sunshine works well) but Jane and I are a fluid bonded, monogamous couple so this characteristic of leather does not concern us.

We looked long and hard (no pun intended) for a double harness like this one, with the versatility to be used by man or woman, and are very happy with the Double Trouble Harness.

Bodygroom Shaver (Philips)

2009-11-24T13:47:00.000-07:00

DICK SAYS: Does what it claims! It's the only thing with a blade that I'll let anywhere near my junk. Note that the Bodygroom Shaver's intended purpose is light duty... don't expect to clear any jungles with it. In my oppinion, it works better as a shaver than a trimmer, the included guards either get clogged up with hair or pin the hair to your skin out of the blade's reach. I love that it is water proof; which makes it easy to clean, and makes it useful in the shower where I like to lather up and shave my ball sack. When mine eventually wears out I will not hesitate to buy another!

Stroke 29 (Gun Oil)

2009-09-23T16:32:00.002-06:00

DICK SAYS: I am a man who appreciates a good hand job, be that by Jane's hand or by my own (though, just between you and me, Jane's hand is a lot better). Typically, I go at it dry... Jane is more likely to use lube on me than I am. The water based stuff gets sticky, the silicon stuff is too slippery, and oil based lubes get messy. The clean up just isn't worth it! Stroke 29 seems to strike a perfect balance of; easy to handle (no drip!), slick (but not too slick!), long lasting, and easy clean up.
However, every time I twist the lid off and scoop some out I feel a bit like I'm getting ready to grease the weasel with my mother's cold cream. It's a lot like that stuff. But just like Stroke 29, those thoughts melt away when the stroking begins... good stuff, many happy endings!

JANE SAYS: This may seem odd as this is really a product for men, but I love this stuff! It's not designed to be used as a lubricant for vaginal sex, and I would actually recommend against using it in this capacity as it contains oils that could really mess up the vaginal flora; but as a masturbation lube for Dick, in my opinion it rocks! Unlike many silicone or water-based lubes it never gets sticky and in fact actually gets more slippery and glides easier as it warms up from the stroking...in fact the product claims to "transform" at around the 29th stroke (hence the name) to imitate natural human lubrication. I have actually counted the strokes before and sure enough...stroke 29 is the magic number. You never have to reapply, it's not greasy and it leaves not only Dick, but my hands soft and supple! :o)

Imperial Metal Cock Ring (Gear Essentials)

2009-09-19T07:50:00.005-06:00

DICK SAYS: Before I tell you how this stainless steel cock ring effects sex with Jane, I have to tell you that I wear it around casually on my cock like some private piece of man-jewelry... my secret bling! When going commando the weight gives my package a gentle pull and a little extra swing, it prevents uncomfortable junk-squeezing between the legs, and in underwear it gives my bulge an uplifting boost! What's not to love?

When I received my cock ring in the mail it's heftiness surprised me and I was hooked from the moment I first put it on. It's solid and weighty, the way any good manly thing should be, and it's shaped just like a "comfort fit" wedding ring... with a gentle rise on the inner diameter, though so much larger.

In missionary position the top of this sizable thing gets Jane right in the clit on every thrust, for her that's an added bonus. When erect, my cock ring helps me get a little firmer, a little larger, for a little longer but does not cut off blood flow to the point of giving me a purple throbbing monster. Rather, the assist is more gentle and when it's time to deflate I get no undue resistance from the ring. Of course, the effect of any ring is directly related to its circumference relative to yours... but I love the way mine fits. This sex accessory gets my highest marks!

JANE SAYS: When Dick and I decided to try out a cock ring, we really didn't know where to begin, there are so many different kinds on the market; plastic, jelly, even leather, those with integrated vibrators etc, etc. We did a bit of research and as with many things in life (yes even sex toys) figured you get what you pay for and so decided together on the Imperial Metal Cock Ring. The Gear Essentials line seems a bit pricey but let me tell you, it's beautiful...heavy duty and sexy as hell, not to mention it's hefty rounded curves massage the clit quite pleasurably during intercourse. I'd say well worth the price!

Pure Plugs (njoy)

2009-09-19T07:50:00.002-06:00

DICK SAYS: Njoy toys are artfully crafted from stainless steel, packaged like fine jewelry, and are both beautiful and elegant in their simplicity. Among the many things there are to love about these toys, two that stand out for me are; weight, and thermal inertia. You can warm them up or cool them down and they take their own sweet time surrendering to your body's temperature. The bigger the toy, the longer the effect.

Jane and purchased the smallest of three available butt plugs (1" diameter head) and have found it to be excellent for anal play. However, were we to do it all over again... we'd go with a larger plug. Keeping the small plug in during sex is difficult to the point of distraction and neither of us can even walk around without it falling out. Njoy toys are worth their high price but take my advice and don't buy a plug until you're certain of size. Run down to the local adult novelty store and buy some really cheap plugs... find the right size and then start saving. Njoy's steel plugs are a self indulgent treasure that will spend very little time in your toy box.

JANE SAYS: I have to say, I am a sucker for the high end beautifully crafted sex toys that are made to last; which is why I love njoy products. They make a great butt plug, for novices and experts alike. They're easy and quite stimulating to insert and don't get "sticky" with extended use. I'm with Dick though, if I had it to do all over again, before I spent the money I'd make sure the butt plug was the size I wanted first. I'm saving my pennies for the large one.

The Eroscillator

2009-09-05T07:41:00.007-06:00

JANE SAYS: Quite possibly (in my humble opinion) the best "vibrator" created to date; and by far my favorite clitoral stimulator. It seems to me that when a product is advertised it has a tendency to toot it's own horn and as a consumer you don't always have the same results. Not so for the Eroscillator, it delivers exactly as promised. It is "whisper quiet", has an "easily accessible power switch", "delivers an intense orgasm through powerful yet gentle stimulation" each and every time. It never fails. It's lightweight, not too big, not awkward, easily used during intercourse in just about any position, easy to clean, travels well. I like that it is a plug in device (no batteries required) which makes it reliable and it has a super long (12 feet) cord so you don't have to worry about running out of cord if you move around a lot. As promised, and unlike other vibrators, it does not have a numbing effect ever, no matter how long or how often you use it. I have owned my Eroscillator for a few years now and think it has actually made my clitoris more sensitive to gentle stimulation. I could not say that for any other vibrator I have ever tried. There are 3 settings, but the only time I have ever used the 2 higher settings was when I was trying it out in the beginning. The lowest setting is always effective and amazing. I own 4 of the attachments. My favorite is actually the one that comes with it, but I do occasionally like to use the "ultra soft finger tip" attachment as well. I call it the marshmallow. I have 2 "complaints": the first is that sometimes the orgasm comes too quickly, but then I have a tendency to be quick to orgasm anyway, so probably for most people this would be a plus. Second, it doesn't work if you lay on it. Unlike other vibrators, it stops oscillating if too much pressure is put on it. So for instance I like to lay on my belly and be entered from behind and sometimes it's nice to have some vibrating hands free clitoral stimulation at the same time, which is really not possible with the eroscillator. I hate to end on the negative though. By far this is a superior and supreme vibrator. If (as a woman) you could only purchase one sex toy this would be my recommendation, hands down!

DICK SAYS: Definitely a toy for her. The only place it does anything for me is on my frenulum... it will get me hard (not a tough task) but that's about it. I've heard you can buy attachments meant for the prostate but I'm not sure my prostate would appreciate that sort of attention.

You can tell by the way she goes on and on about it, Jane loves her Eroscillator and that's enough. She uses it when I'm not around and she uses it when we're fucking. During sex, the Eroscillator does its job and stays out of the way... which makes it a winner with me. Get one of these for the lady in your life and she'll be gushing with appreciation for years to come.

Pfun Plug (njoy)

2009-09-02T13:46:00.004-06:00

DICK SAYS: I was introduced to the idea of prostate massagers, for the health benefit *wink* and their unique ability to please, by Kidder Kaper of the Sex is Fun podcast. Soon after, I purchased an Aneros Helix and faithfully followed the instructions with high hope for the incredible orgasm promised. Just like the literature says, it takes time. After about 15 - 20 minutes with the Aneros in my ass I could start to identify the feeling of pressure against my prostate. As I worked my anal sphincter into a sweat the feeling intensified and I began to understand that Prostate massage could really be something special... if only my ass weren't so exhausted from the work-out.

Then, into my collection, came the njoy Pfun Plug. Unlike the plastic Aneros, this toy is solid stainless steel (as are all njoy toys), has significant weight and thermal inertia, is larger than the Helix I tried, and angled to make massage of the Prostate effortless. There appears to be no learning curve here and no training your ass muscles to do the work, the pleasure is instant, focused, and intense. Note that I had used the Aneros while lying on my back but the weight of the Pfun Plug makes lying on my stomach the position of choice.

The Aneros has a flimsy "handle" and a tab that digs uncomfortably into your perineum. The Pfun Plug has a ring of hardened steel that you can actually grab onto, allowing your hand to do the work in place of your anal sphincter. The orgasm that I get from prostate massage and penile stimulation was paradigm shifting, at age 38 I had no idea such a thing was possible. I regret not having discovered it earlier in life but am thankful that it didn't escape me forever.

The Pfun Plug delivers outstanding pleasure with an excellent marriage of design and material. I give it high marks and expect to use it for many years to come.

JANE SAYS: Although the Pfun Plug is intended as a prostate massage toy for men, we tried it out in my ass just for fun one night. I actually found it to be quite enjoyable and found that it stimulated my g-spot in a very pleasurable indirect way. But enough about me...what I really like about it, is what I can do to Dick when he is using it. I like to send him off to bed early to spend about 45 minutes with the Pfun Plug getting him all aroused, then I come in and take him in my mouth until he gets hard and do all kinds of fun things to him. I have found that he seems to have prolonged orgasms while using it and I get so turned on making him feel good, I literally drip all over the place. This is a very high quality toy and comes packaged beautifully.

Hitachi Magic Wand

2009-08-29T13:36:00.002-06:00

JANE SAYS: The Hitachi Magic Wand is a very powerful vibrator, probably because it runs on electricity from your wall rather than batteries. The one thing I will say for the Magic Wand is that it NEVER fails to get me off. That said, I'm not sure I would call the orgasms I get from it highly enjoyable. This is due mainly to how quickly it works its magic for me. I'm not a ''power girl"...I'm one of those lucky, easily orgasmic people, so something this powerful is actually a bit uncomfortable for me and it makes me come so quickly (I kid you not, in under a minute) that it kind of takes all the fun out of it. However; if I'm in one of those moods where I just can't seem to get there, it will do the trick, or if I just want to have a quick orgasm for some reason, again, it will do the trick. It has a numbing effect after the fact and it causes itching of the skin. It's better to put something between you and the wand like a towel or your clothes or something, this cuts down on the itching effect. There is a penetration attachment that fits over the end that is somewhat more enjoyable. It helps to cut down on the power a bit and has a nice ridge that hits the clit nicely. It's a little awkward to hold, however.

DICK SAYS: Relatively inexpensive, available at drug stores everywhere, and cleverly disguised as an innocuous back and shoulder massager... surely anyone can feel comfortable with this toy. It has a long cord, which is useful, that plugs it directly into a wall outlet. No batteries to wear out at inopportune times and a motor that could drive a go-cart. This thing really delivers in the vibration category, you can feel the vibes move right through you and out the other side.

Direct contact with skin can produce an irritating itch so it's best to use some material (washcloth, towel, clothing, etc.) between it and you. I've been able to make myself come by holding the wand's head directly on my frenulum but its definitely more effective on Jane. The Hitachi Magic Wand can take Jane from "No" to "O" in under 30 seconds... no kidding. But downstream of such intense pleasure is a vexing (though temporary) numbing effect.

There are also attachments available that will transfer the vibrations internally and take them directly to your G-Spot or Prostate. I haven't tried this myself, Jane has but she's been mysteriously quiet about the effect. I sure hope I don't have any competition there!

The Magic Wand is one of the most popular and widely available sex toys anywhere, and with good reason. You would not regret purchasing one, just be mindful of the perils great power brings.

Liberator Ramp

2009-08-26T13:28:00.003-06:00

JANE SAYS: This was one of the first "sex toys" I picked out when Dick suggested I go shopping. I went to the Liberator site which I had heard about through one of our favorite podcasts (SIF). I found that I got very turned on just looking at the pictures. I was very excited to try it out. I was not disappointed.

The point of the liberator ramp is to help create different positions for sex and to enhance the oldie but goodies. The first positions we tried was doggie style. I found the ramp helped get my back end at an excellent angle for penetration and I could just lay down and relax (kept the arms from getting tired). It also (as advertised) worked wonders for G-spot stimulation. The only issue I had with this position was that I began to feel a little light headed from all the blood rushing to my head. I needed a pillow to elevate my head slightly. The ramp adds a certain amount of fun...seeing what kind of positions you can get into and seeing what it does to your old favorites. Well...one of my old favorites is me on top. This position can create the best blended orgasms for me. The trouble I have found with this particular position; however, is that there isn't a whole lot of stimulation for Dick because there is more of a grinding action than up and down motion, so it works for a while, but not always long enough for me to come. It took a little while, for some reason, but when we finally tried this position with the ramp... I just have one thing to say OH MY GOD! It put Dick in THE PERFECT position and I totally had 5 of the most incredible orgasms in succession. If for no other reason than what it does for this position, I LOVE the ramp, and think it was well worth the price!

DICK SAYS: As far as pillows go, the Liberator ramp is on the expensive side. The Liberator site will tell you that it's so much more than a pillow and I suppose that's true... it's constructed of denser foam than most pillows and covered in the kind of micro-fiber found most commonly on affordably upholstered furniture. But Liberator's angle, so to speak, is the angle. This pillow helps put things in just the right spot, keeps you comfortable, and supports both of you in ways that can alleviate muscle strain. These properties in combination can make for longer, more satisfying sex.

The Ramp has given new life to Jane's old favorite positions and I am better able to get my dick onto her G-Spot. When the ramp comes out I know we're in for a good time, Jane need only say the words to get a rise out of me, and anything that can produce such results is worthy of praise. I give the ramp high marks, though I wish the price were a bit lower.
