Travel Gripper MasturbatorThe Travel Gripper Masturbator is brought to us by California Exotics – it’s a double-ended masturbator that is obviously aimed at men on the move. You can choose from a mouth or an anus to penetrate simply by switching from one end of the masturbator to the other. Vaginas are available in other toys, LOL.

Although when you look at illustrations of the Travel Gripper Masturbator you may think there’s a hard plastic shell around the central part of the toy this is in fact a grey coloured section made from the a similar soft elastomer as the rest of the toy.

When you order this masturbator you need to ensure you also order some water based lubricant as there’s none in the box and using it without a little lube would not be comfortable.

You would think that a simple one-piece masturbator like this holds few surprises but think again. Because the materials from which this toy is created are of two different elasticities the feel of this toy in your hand and around your penis is more varied and somewhat more satisfying than some single density strokers. Even better than that each end of this double ended masturbator offers a distinctly different feel.

The mouth opening seems to be the most restrictive of the two with the internal ribbing of the masturbator pressed hard against your cock and thrumming against your frenulum and glans as you thrust in and out against your hand. The anal opening in comparison seems less tight but also takes advantage of the same ribs for a thoroughly enjoyable experience.

Another advantage of this male masturbator is that while it can be easily handled one-handed, cupped in a palm with your fingers wrapped around the outside to control the experience it is stretchy enough to accommodate most penises. This compares well to alternative designs where often your erect cock will pop out of the top during use, if you prefer to be enclosed this sex toy would be more to your tastes.

Cleaning after use consists of rinsing off the water based lubricant and any extra residues you have deposited on it before air-drying and packing it away in the bag it comes in.

This is a relatively inexpensive sex toy that’s easy to maintain and adds variety to masturbation if you want something a little different from the feel of your hand it you are on the move. It’s easy to clean and fun to use whether you choose the gaping mouth or the tighter ass. It’s a simple sex toy that does what it’s supposed to without trying to overcomplicate the business of self-pleasure.

 
Mojo Vigour Adjustable Silicone Cock Ring

Mojo Vigour Adjustable Silicone Cock Ring

You can’t get much simpler than a silicone cock ring like this but simple doesn’t mean ineffective.

The whole reason for having a cock ring is to ensure a long lasting and firm erection; This I underlined by the legend on the bottom of the packaging “Pro Long Cock Ring”. The packaging is simple as the cock ring clear plastic that displays the penis ring and makes it easy to hand on a display.

What you get when you slip this cock ring out of its pack is a loop of soft and comfortable silicone with a silicone collar of the same material that allows the two ends of the cock ring to be tightened and loosened by the wearer. And that’s it, there’s nothing more to say about the construction of this toy.

When using it you can adjust the Mojo Vigor cock ring before you slip it on or afterwards, it’s quite easy to do though I would say I felt a little nervous enlarging the cock ring to fit me as I seemed to be pulling the silicone until it stretched quite thin with each tug to widen it to the next size – but it did not break so it seems deceptively durable.

When wearing this very flexible cock ring you’ll find that it’s very comfortable because of its excellent elasticity. However if you like or need a nice tight cock ring that makes your veins bulge then you’ll be disappointed as this is more of a gentle aid to an erection than something that grips your erect penis firmly.

One unusual aspect of this cock ring is again due to the elasticity of the silicone it’s made from. While using it the free ends of the loop gently drum against your balls and your partners vaginal lips, a both unexpected and unusual sensation.

If you need a little gentle help to maintain an erection for longer or just like the feel of a cock ring during sex the Mojo Vigor cock ring fits the bill.

 

 

 
Je Joue Mio Cock Ring

Je Joue Mio Cock Ring

The Je Joue Mio is a silicone cock ring with multiple vibrating functions. It recharges through its two metal control buttons using a recharging dock held in place by a magnet. Because the recharger can only be attached in the correct orientation charging is pretty fool proof. Also, unlike inductive recharging of sex toys the charging is fast because of this direct connection.

The Mio cock ring comes packaged in a classy looking purple and white outer box which contains the matt black inner packing with its white Je Joue Legend and logo. It’s presented nicely and in a way that makes it a great sexy gift idea. I’d be more than happy to receive it as a present from a partner, though their motives might not be entirely selfless as you’re both going to enjoy this sex toy.

The silicone material used to mould the smooth lines of the Je Joue Mio is soft and yielding making it possible for the medium sized opening to accommodate quite a large girth of erect penis comfortably. So although the size of the un-stretched Mio is not the largest cock ring in my collection it doesn’t feel too tight when worn.

This Je Joue cock ring is simple to operate with three buttons. “+”, “-“ and a central button with a wave legend on it to change between functions. You turn the cock ring’s vibrator on by holding the “+” and turn it off by holding the “-“. The manual says each of these needs to be held for three seconds but I found about half a second was enough to turn the Mio Cock Ring on or off.

There are five levels of vibratory power which as with most sex toys actually means a higher frequency of vibration because the motor is simply run at a higher speed to impart more energetic vibrations to your cock ring. The six different pattern settings consist of two escalating modes which increase and decrease and four pulsing modes of varying frequencies. Plenty to suit all tastes.

The cock ring is compact so you’ll find no problem in wearing the vibrating section above your penis for missionary and below it against your scrotum to ensure you stimulate your partner’s clitoris during doggy-style sex.

Because the buttons take a very positive press to operate it can be a little fiddly to change settings during use. That has to be my main criticism of this sex toy, though it is pretty much my only real criticism of the Je Joue Mio Cock Ring.

In use the Je Joue Mio is a little powerhouse that provides stimulation for you and your partner as well as helping you stay erect and harder for longer in its firm grip. You’ll both be impressed and delighted by the way in which the pliable but firm silicone transmits vibrations to your bodies and turns any penis into a powerful living vibrator.

Because this is a totally waterproof sex toy it’s easy to clean before and after use. The simple smooth design means there are no nooks and crannies to collect residues from bodily fluids or lubricant. On the subject of lube you should apply a good quality water based lube that we’d recommend all sex toy users should always have one close to hand.

A good cock ring is a great purchase because both you and your partner will enjoy it and this is a fine example of where cock ring technology is today. Powerful, compact and simple to operate.

 

 

 

 
Sweet Little Nothing Masturbator

Sweet Little Nothing Masturbator

A “Tight and soft travel sized tunnel of love” is how the packaging describes this diminutive male masturbator from Toy Joy. Indeed this particular male palm pussy masturbator sits in your hand easily, relying on the elastic nature of the pure flesh isomer to stretch around your penis in use.

But no matter how stretchy this sort of small male sex toy is what you will find is your penis popping out of the top of the “Sweet Little Nothing”. So if you are wondering how to use this type of compact male masturbator I’d say there are two methods. Firstly use it to stimulate the tip of your penis and don’t thrust all the way through the device. This is fine if you enjoy stimulation to the glans of your penis and frenulum. Alternatively you can draw this kind of masturbator all the way down your penis right to the base – the elasticity of the material will allow you to this and depending on the girth and length of your erect penis combined with the size of the masturbator you will experience a kind of popping sensation as you emerge from the opening at the end of the toy.

Enough of the generalities here’s some specific information about the “Sweet Little Nothing” pure flesh male masturbator:

  • It’s made completely of “Pure Flesh” which is Toy Joy’s flesh-like plastic isomer material.
  • You’ll need to use a water based lube with this masturbator for lubrication, and only water based lube as other kinds will damage this sex toy.
  • When storing this kind of masturbator keep it in the original packaging as otherwise it will pick up dust and lint.
  • It has an opening that suggests a teeny-tiny set of vaginal lips, but don’t expect to get any sensation from these, that comes from the contours on the inside of the “love tunnel” and the pressure applied by your hand through the  walls of the toy.

When using this male masturbator I found that it’s tight, very tight. This has two effects. First the effective length of the “Love tunnel” shortens the wider the girth of your erect penis, this is common in small palm pussy style masturbators. The original length of around 12cm ends up at about 8cm so not much of me remained inside the toy. Secondly and again something that happens with very tight masturbators the internal ribbing becomes stretched so much that you can’t really feel it if you have a large girth.

So, while there was a tight grip around my cock and I was able to manipulate this slightly with my hand the sensations weren’t so varied or intense as I had hoped.

The Sweet Little Nothing Pure Flesh Masturbator is compact, practical (especially if you’re travelling around) and fun to use. It’s cheap too, and while it will help provide a little variety to your masturbation don’t expect a whole new kind of earth shattering orgasm just one that’s a little more fun than you and your hand (or that of your lover) alone.

 

 

 

 
Slut Garden

Slut Garden

There are a number of “Porn Tube” sites on the Internet so which one do you choose if you are looking for sexy movies? You could trawl through them all but here’s one we’ve been asked to review that has a simple interface and a pretty good range of free sex videos as teasers to the full length clips that are available if you want to go that step further and pay for the movies on offer.

The site http://www.slutgarden.com/ offers videos from a minute or so long up to three or more minutes and so you get to see a lot of what you might eventually decide to buy from this free porn tube site. That compares well with some other sites where once you’ve stripped away the titles and splash screens of the studios you only get a few seconds of the action, sometimes frantic and not necessarily representative of the sex videos you are being sold. Plus there seems to be no limit to the number of times you can view the preview videos, unlike other sites that will start insisting you register after a while, even to see the free clips.

As mentioned above the interface on this site is easy to navigate with a sidebar of categories and a search box that allows you to use a keyword if you can’t see the sex video you’re looking for in the categories. You have all the usual classifications to choose from and a few unusual ones too that will intrigue you. While some of the videos fall into several categories so you’ll see them listed in several of the category pages when you select them there are still plenty to choose from.

If you are a fan of POV porn movies then this site has plenty to satisfy your desires. Partly because of the number of sex videos billed as amateur and partly because there is a section devoted to it, many of the videos show POV porn. Of course the real reason is that POV sells well and it requires one camera one shot with little editing and emphasises the voyeuristic aspect of watching a free sex video that is currently so popular. It fits in with themes like having sex with a girl at the office, pick-up porn where the cameraman/male talent picks up an allegedly random girl and persuades her to have sex with him on camera. It’s a deceit but one which makes for popular videos.

For those of you who like a little interracial sex the free porn clips include introductions to movies featuring black performers in a variety of scenarios. And on the subject of the scenarios you can enjoy the “Party” category. Not a categorisation of sex videos that I’ve seen before which as you might guess shows the performers having fun at various “parties” before getting naked and getting their rocks off.

As you can see there is something for pretty much everyone in the videos on this free porn tube site so the best thing to do is take a look around. Browsing the sex videos is free so you have nothing to lose.

 

 
Rocks-Off Hot Lips Cock Ring

Rocks-Off Hot Lips Cock Ring

This novelty cock ring from Rocks-off stands out from most of their offerings in that it’s not powered by their usual RO-80mm bullet. That is partly because of the small size of this cock ring and partly down to cost. Unlike the rest of the Rocks-Off sex toy range this cock ring is aimed at fun and frolics and therefore pitched at an almost disposable price. Unlike the other high quality, durable designs the company offers.

The pair of red lips that make up the ring itself is made from TPR, not the silicone of the more expensive Rocks-Off products. This is perfectly safe and phthalate free so despite the bargain price you’re not compromising quality in that way. The “Micro Vibrator” which powers the red Hot Lips is tiny and comes fitted with batteries. It has one speed and is most definitely not waterproof. This is why you can get this vibrating cock ring at such a reasonable price.

Whoever designed this cock ring knew about men’s anatomy or had a very happy accident because the inner shape of the cock ring seems to have been created to apply less pressure on the blood vessels (like the dorsal artery) in your penis and on the corpus spongiosum (the soft tissue underneath which holds the urethra and through which ejaculate flows at the point of climax). Of course if you have a penis of huge girth this is less noticeable because the ring will be stretched more but it’s an interesting and unique shape.

In use the micro vibrator buzzes like and angry wasp and while it sounds full of furry it is of course limited by the tiny battery and the fact that the unit is sealed. So while it is fun to wear for both you and your partner its lifespan is limited.

You’ll need to use a water based lube if you find the TPR catching on your skin or hair, water based lube is always the safe option.

I can’t say this is the most earth shattering cock ring I have worn, the frequency of vibrations means they don’t seem to penetrate very deeply and while Suze found the buzzing on her clit OK it wasn’t by itself going to create a mind blowing orgasm.

We found this cock ring good fun to use and because it fits almost any penis size we think you will too.

 

 
Fun Factory Stronic Zwei

Fun Factory Stronic Zwei

The Stronic Zwei is the second reciprocating vibrator from Fun Factory to incorporate their new thrusting action. Not content with simply improving on the Stronic Eins released last year Fun Factory have created a toy for men and women! This is quite a bold move for the German sex toy manufacturer and indeed it is quite a bold sex toy. However closer inspection of the toy reveals it is also made for pleasuring the G Spot of you ladies as much as for male anal action so you might end up fighting over this sex toy with your partner.

Unlike other thrusting sex toys that work on a cam mechanism to create the in-out motion the Stronic series of vibrators uses the inertia of a weight inside the toy and what we assume is an electromagnet or some comparable actuator to throw the weight against a spring or springs. We are just guessing here as we haven’t taken a Stronic apart, they are too nice to destroy like that. So what you have is a completely new way of creating a realistic thrusting motion that is far more realistic than any previous sex toy has offered. It also has the advantage that unlike cam operated thrusting vibrators it is not affected by pressure from the outside of the toy when inserted inside the body and therefore does not slow down when in use. Nice.

Charging the Stronic EIns toys takes hours, 16 to be precise though this is a maximum and we find that they take considerably less to recharge most of the time. Once charged they have a standby of up to three months so assuming you keep the Stronic topped up it will always be there to put a smile on your face.

The construction is sturdy, being ABS plastic that feels solid as a rock and soft, pliable high grade silicone moulded into a smooth form designed to probe your ass and massage your prostate. The base of the silicone just above the ABS control section has two protrusions providing stimulation and the surety that the toy will not be inserted too far inside when in use.

Charging the Stronic Zwei Vibrator takes, as I said, up to 16 hours, though often much less. You use Fun Factory’s Click’n’Charge system which consists of a nice compact mains transformer and a magnetic contact system which automatically aligns itself to the two metal beads on the base of the toy. This gives you a fool proof way of charging and ensures the Stronic Zwei remains waterproof even when fully submerged as there is no need for a hole in the case to accept a charging plug.

The controls on this anal vibrator are simple, a “Fun” button that turns the toy on and a + and – button to step through the settings. Pressing the “Fun” button for half a second when the toy is running will turn off the vibe whatever setting you have selected

The Fun Factory Stronic Zwei has more functions that you can shake a vibrator at. Well, to be strictly accurate it has nine. Three of them are referred to as constant, by which Fun Factory mean that the frequency of the reciprocating motion is constant at each to the three settings, “Samba” (low), “Rumble” (medium) and “Quickie” (high).

Adjacent to the constant settings are three of what are described as “Dynamic Mode” patterns. Two, “Rollerball” and “Rumba” change from  low to high frequency thrusting at the same amplitude (power), the third called curiously “Vienna Waltz” has a constant frequency but steadily increasing amplitude which suddenly drops and then repeats.

You select all these patterns using the + and – buttons. The 6 aforementioned patterns are available “above” the off position and three more “Rattle”, “Gallop” and “Dirty Dancing” can be selected using the “–“ button to step you below the off position.  Each of these three settings switches between two different thrusting frequencies at different intervals.

Finally there’s an easy to use travel lock feature “-“ & “Fun” to lock and “+” & “Fun” to unlock stops you having any unfortunate issues with the toy in your luggage at airports.

Fun factory provide two sachets of toy fluid with your new vibrator for instant pleasure and you can use any good quality water based lube with this product.

The Stronic Zwei came to me in a pouch that I had to say reminded me of a pencil case I had at school , though my pencil case wasn’t gold and didn’t have a Fun Factory badge and lanyard. The woven fabric pouch looks tough and is a practical way to protect, store and transport your Stronic Zwei without taking up huge amounts of space. It also saves on packaging when bought from a high street store though when bough online you’ll probably find it arrives in a box as mine did or in a very padded envelope.

I was also sent another Click’n’Charge charger. You will not have to buy a charger for every Fun Factory toy you buy because this charging system covers all of their new sex toys since about 2011. This saves you money and helps the environment too.

Suze tried the Stronic Zwei from the female perspective and found that its large girth made sliding the Zwei in and out quite challenging and although its ability to fill her vagina was in itself pleasurable any in-out motion could feel a little uncomfortable. Of course if you like a vibrator with a huge girth then that would be an absolute plus. In Suze’s case she found that the best way of using the Stronic Zwei was to allow the up-turned tip to massage her G Spot and move it with a slight side-to-side motion while the thrusting action of the toy moved it inside her. If the toy is angled the upper part of the base can just touch her clitoris but angling it to do so was at the expense of G Spot stimulation so using the Zwei was all about trade-offs.

The problem with the Stronic Zwei for me is its size. While I enjoy anal stimulation I’m afraid the Zwei is simply too big for me to use. I can manage to insert the tip but any more than that is uncomfortable which doesn’t work for me I’m afraid, I want stimulation not stretching. Eeek!

From what I can see the mechanism that drives the brilliant thrusting motion of this anal vibrator is quite bulky. It has to be so that the weight inside has sufficient momentum to deliver the powerful thrusting motions. Sadly that means that I can’t enjoy this male anal vibrator to the full. However if you have an ass hungry to be filled and stretched by a revolutionary thrusting, vibrating anal sex toy then you might want to get hold of one.

 

 

 
Lelo Tantra Feather Teaser

Lelo Tantra Feather Teaser

Seduction and foreplay can really set you up for great evening of sex and with the Lelo Tantra Feather Teaser that’s exactly what happened to us. Styled in a very similar fashion to the Lelo Sensua Suede Whip this feather teaser is built to the same high quality and presented in a box that has more in common with a high class gift from a top end store than most sex toys.

The glossy outer black box with silver lettering contains a textured inner box and within that is your Feather Teaser, wrapped in embossed paper. The teaser itself has a chromed ball at one end, smoked acrylic shaft and a chrome ferrule which holds the luxurious black feathers to the handle. So, a very classy looking pleasure object from Sweden. This is the sort of sex toy that you can give as a gift and you would be delighted to receive, it’s classy and has an aura of quality.

At about 8 inches long this particular sex toy is not large but it doesn’t need to be according to my other half. We tried it first with Suze laying face down on the bed and me wielding the teaser on her exposed flesh. Perhaps because my hands are quite large I found myself wishing the handles was a little more substantial, however this did not stop me wielding the teaser in a way which has Suze squirming.

When we changed roles she said she found the small handle very practical allowing her to twist and twirl the teaser easily whilst playing it up and down my skin. She started in my hair and across my face, then down my back in a variety of sweeping and swirling motions that were made possible by the thick, soft feathers in the tickler and the petite handle.

A word about the feathers here. Unlike your run of the mill cheap tickler there are lots of them, and two different types. One type appears to be ostrich, soft and fluffy. The others are longer and more rigid but still soft and flexible like the greater secondary feathers that line a bird’s wing. It all adds up to a very versatile and pleasurable experience having this feather teaser applied to your skin by a skilful exponent of the art of foreplay like Suze.

After my Back Suze told me to turn over so she could attend to my front. Starting at the neck this time she slowly worked her way down my body, teasing my chest, stomach and eventually penis. The versatility of this teaser really shone through. The high quality means you get the mix of textures in the feathers mentioned above which means the receiver of the titillation experiences everything from the luxurious caress of the whole teaser to the delicate touch of a single feather.

I honestly didn’t think that such a simple sex toy, that is often included as part of a kit when made by other manufacturers, would be so enjoyable. Of course I’ve enjoyed this sort of toy in the past but Lelo yet again prove they know how to perfect a sensual object such as this.

The Lelo Feather teaser is compact, oozes quality and begs to be used. You feel yourself running it through your hands as you use it such is its allure. This isn’t cheap in terms of other ticklers but in my experience you will not find better in terms of quality, presentation and appearance.

 

 

 
Fetish Fantasy Feather Crop

Fetish Fantasy Feather Crop

Soft bondage and BDSM kit can often be a disappointment even to beginners because of the potential for it to disappoint even the most undemanding of users. So a feather crop? Sounds a bit foofy to me.

Pipedream products produce some really great sex toys and within their Fetish Fantasy range have some great adult products for bedroom bondage and kinky play. They also produce the occasionally turkey and this seemed more likely to be a bit of fun than a toy suited to naughty fun and an enduring place in our toy box.

This feather crop is about 20 inches (50cm) long, the harsh end is a mini PVC paddle 4 inches long and 2.5 inches wide and the tickly end a cluster of fine feathers with a little silver tinsel thrown in to contrast with the black of the rest of the crop. The shaft is a flexible plastic bound with a satin-matt fabric.

Initially sceptical about the product’s ability to deliver anything but novelty value to our fun in the bedroom I was quickly proved wrong. Teasing with the feather end of the crop proved to be controllable and fun. Not tickly at all but stimulating and gentle leading to a sensual start to our enjoyment of this sex toy.

When Suze switched to using the crop end the smoothly finished edges and shiny PVC finish were able to glide over my skin and especially when cold provided a delicious sensation. Her gentle taps on my exposed buttocks began and eventually increased to full-on strokes with the crop. She was able to keep full control because the shaft is quite short and not too flexible.

This is a really enjoyable toy to use and versatile because of the two ends and their different characters. If I have a criticism it’s that when I used the crop on Suze I found the lack of an actual handle (because it’s a double-ended crop) made me wonder if the feathered end in particular might suffer from being grasped in the hand for long periods. Other than that a surprisingly enjoyable and useful sex toy. Not what you would call hard core corporal punishment equipment for full-on BDSM connoisseurs but a nice addition to your bedroom toolkit for beginners and intermediate users alike.

 

 
VStroker For Fleshlight

VStroker For Fleshlight

The VStroker is a device that enhances the experience of using your Fleshlight. The Vstroker allows users to interact with web-based content while masturbating using any Fleshlight and become more immersed in the experience of self-pleasure.

There are three ways to do this:

  • Download a video
  • Download a virtual game
  • Interact with an online adult community

The first option is easiest so I tried the Tanya Tate Fleshlight I was sent with this. I downloaded the 600 meg interactive video content featuring Victoria Ray. The downloaded package consists of a Windows/Mac application which allows you to navigate the content and the video itself.

The start of the video is an introduction where Victoria Ray tells you what a “cock worshipping slut” she is followed by 8 interactive scenes and a final cum shot sequence. In each of the interactive scenes the POV video has Victoria Ray sucking your virtual cock or being screwed by it in various positions. The interactive element is that the speed with which you pump the VStroker enabled Fleshlight on your cock changes the speed of the video.

The second method of using the VStroker is “Virtual Sex Villa” a virtual game enabled for Vstroker fun. The download is 400 Meg and proclaims proudly “no adware, no spyware, no viruses”. It’s a sad reflection on the state of parts of the adult web that it has to state this on the download page.

Finally you can choose to join “Red Light Center”, a “3D virtual world with 6 million users”, with a downloadable client of only 13 Meg.

All the site content and extra features are subscription based after your first seven days of being registered on the VStroker.com site, so unless you intend to stick with the original video bear in mind this cost when you buy a VStroker.

Installation of the video content was easy, as was the driver installation for the VStroker itself. There’s a mini CD in the box too that allows you to sign up for “tokens” for “interactive shows” at StrokerSex.com. I duly entered my email address but no confirmation email has arrived – though the clock on the software is counting down and indicates just over 2 days to go until, erm, launch?

That’s all the features, how does it work. Well, it works, ish. The unit I had seemed determined to lag behind the action on the screen or perhaps the other way around if you see what I mean. Perhaps it would be better to say that as I was going in, the cock on the screen was going out and vice versa, especially as the speed of my strokes increased. This was weird and threw me somewhat. Now that might have been my unit, the software setup or something like that but there is a bigger problem that only occurred to me when I thought about all the uses a Fleshlight is put to. I played with the sensitivity slider under the video but still found that the tech really doesn’t match up to the marketing.

Some Fleshlight users jam the unit between pillows or under a mattress so they can thrust in and out. So in this mode of use the Fleshlight and the VStroker don’t move and your on-screen partner starts to complain “Why did you take your cock out of my pussy?”

I would love to say that the VStroker enhanced the experience and made me feel immersed in the content provided by VStroker but sadly it did quite the opposite. The timing issues that arise while the Bluetooth dongle and software try to keep up with the movements of the Fleshlight/VStroker combination make the whole experience disorientating at best and at worst hugely irritating. It’s difficult to imagine how an online interaction with another VStroker enabled sex toy user will be any better with the inherent latency in two Bluetooth connections, software and the Internet lag.

I can’t recommend the VStroker from my experience of it and recommend you enjoy the rest of the Fleshlight range without it until things work a little better.

 

 
Lux LX4 Cock Ring

Lux LX4 Cock Ring

I got a sense of deja vue when I received the Lux LX4+ cock ring for review. I’ll explain why later but for now I’ll cover the feature and performance of this rather well presented silicone cock ring.

The quality of this particular male sex toy is evident from the moment you begin to unpack it. A cellophane sleeve protects the satin-matt box that the product arrives in. This box is sealed with a white paper band printed in gold – it reminded me of the sort of seal found on boxes of cigars that I remember my father having when I was a kid. I think this a was conscious design choice on the part of the packaging designers, as was the way the top of the box is hinged. It looks like you ought to keep this male sex toy in a humidor!

Inside you’ll find a translucent piece of paper printed with details of the current Lux range and the manual which is specific top the product. The charger, international plug adapters and the cock ring itself are all held in a dense silicone foam block in the box. All in a very deliberately sombre matt black/charcoal grey. Can’t imagine where they got that colour scheme from, LOL.

The manual is multilingual, echoing the fact that you have adapters for UK (square pin), US, Asian and European mains outlets. This, like the rest of the range is a go-anywhere sex toy aimed at the jet-setting man, an impression further reinforced if you follow the QR code on the packaging to the luxformen.com site because you’ll be treated to a 1 minute video of successful, professional men with perfectly polished smiles … all of whom are depicted as using Lux products.

First impressions over, down to the facts:

  • It’s nice and large with a very flexible silicone that allows even larger guys to use this cock ring.
  • Has a wide area of vibration making it easy to make contact with your partner during use, but not so large as to get in the way.
  • It’s rechargeable anywhere in the world where you can get mains power.
  • Is simple to use, having only one button.
  • Incorporates a travel lock that is activated and deactivated by three quick presses of the control button.
  • Charges in just a couple of hours.
  • Is very powerful.

We tried this cock ring out expecting it to perform well but found it to be very powerful and a great way to enhance sex. For me it’s the perfect size because of its flexibility and as Suze described it “turns your cock into a vibrator” something that some toys claim to do but few achieve.

 

I can highly recommend this particular sex toy to anyone wanting a high quality cock ring. My only reservation being that there are no pulsing modes (which I like) just increasingly powerful continuous vibrations.

Now for the deja vue bit …

If you compare the features of this toy, its dimension and its performance with the Jopen Ego E3 cock ring you would be mistaken for having trouble telling them apart. Same features, same size ring, same excellent vibratory power. OK so the Ego is blue and this is black, the Ego is USB charged and this has a mains charger, the Ego have a scalloped bullet section, this is slightly smaller and smooth … but it might almost be the same device.

The charger for the Lux is rated at 5 volts/1 amp and as the Ego is USB charged I’m not going to try charging the Lux via USB because USB ports before USB three are only rated at 5 volts/0.5 amps. So the Lux should charge faster and that seems to be the case but otherwise I’m guessing the bullet is the same in each.

So which to choose. Well, they are both great toys so I’l leave that decision to you.

 

 

 
Dr Joel Kaplan Universal Prostate Probe

Dr Joel Kaplan Universal Prostate Probe

The Universal Prostate probe from California Exotic Novelties is an anal sex toy for men designed to stimulate the male P Spot, i.e. the prostate, by insertion into a man’s rectum. It has an insertable length of 10cm and a maximum diameter of 3cm. Not the largest of sex toys but with a shape specifically designed to reach the male pleasure zones it should be big enough …

… just one more thing. There is a weird, flexible wibbly-wobbly section at the base of the toy just above the handle that is positioned to rest against the perineum when the prostate massager is inserted. I’m not convinced about that bit …

I used the Universal Prostate Probe with a water based lube and found it very easy to insert, the flexibility meaning the toy was easy to slip into place without being so soft as to be uncontrollable. Once in place the shape locks the toy in so you’re ready for action without the fear that it will fall out. Whether you’re masturbating or having sex with your partner there’s no risk that the Prostate Probe will pop out at an inopportune moment.

The stimulation this sex toy provides is great, making you feel filled and massaging your prostate quite well, but, could you tell there was a but coming? But, it does tend to turn when it’s inside you meaning the prostate stimulation is diminished somewhat. That wibbly-wobbly section I mentioned would be great if it were stiffer because it would prevent this rotation and also might rub nicely on your perineum – but it doesn’t so you don’t get that external stimulation and the Universal Prostate Massager is free to rotate away from your P Spot.

This prostate massager is so close to being excellent but because of its tendency to rotate when in use it falls short. It’s a nice-ish anal sex toy for guys and does add to your orgasm, it stays in place too unlike too many anal sex toys but there are better anal toys for men out there.

 

 

 

 
Zini Janus Prostate Massager

Zini Janus Prostate Massager

I’ve been a fan of Zini since they first appeared on the sex toy market but this is the first time I’ve had the opportunity to review one of their quality products because it’s only recently that they have started to make male sex toys. Until now only Suze has been able to experience the pleasure provided by a company whose skills in design are only matched by their imagination.

The Janus Prostate Massager is a non-vibrating anal sex toy for men. It is based on a strong and springy plastic frame which provides the shape for the non-insertable part of the toy and rigidity for the section of the prostate massager that you insert. Wrapped around the insertable section is a silicone outer form which is shaped to stimulate the male G Spot, anus and rectum.

Three sizes are available and I tested the medium. However unless there’s a typo on the box there seems to be only a 1mm difference in diameter and no difference in weight between the small and medium version of this toy whereas the large version is 60% heavier and 40% wider with 13mm more insertable length.

There’s a lot of design gone in to this Zini product and that’s not been wasted on superfluous flourishes. Yes the shape of the toy is very attractive but all of its curves and details have a function. Internally the silicone section has a shape specifically constructed to stimulate the P Spot externally the springy plastic outer section applies pressure to the perineum, allows you to clench the rear section between your buttocks for great control and easily remove the toy with the hoop section.

While all of the design of this product has obviously been carefully thought out there are a couple of things I’d like to mention. Inserting anal sex toys has to be done carefully but the inclusion of a “Spring Structure” as described by the packaging is not something I’ve felt in need of until now “preventing sudden insertion”. Maybe solving a problem that doesn’t exist, or at least one that I have never encountered. The other is similarly minor but worthy of note as this is an anal sex toy. The interface between the hard plastic and silicone presents a deep depression around the shaft’s circumference that can harbour lube and other residues. It’s easy to clean and because the silicone and plastic frame are very firmly bonded together is unlikely to cause problems if the toy is carefully cleaned after use but is something to remember if you use a Zini Janus.

I found that the Zini Janus slipped in with no fuss and as I lay, letting the shape of the toy do its magic the pressure on my prostate from this small anal toy became quite intense. Maybe the large version would have given me that added feeling of fullness that I like but even this modest sized prostate massage certainly applied the delicious pressure on my P Spot that I enjoy so much.

Some male anal sex toys have a tendency to slip out during masturbation or sex, I did not find this with the Zini Janus Prostate Massager. The shape of the toy means that it sits firmly inside you without budging to deliver intense orgasms.

This unassuming but effective sex toy comes packaged simply with cardboard insert printed in blue and white on a black background. Some of the “points” it mentions about the toy seem to be translated less than accurately from the original Korean but that’s more amusing than a barrier to understanding. You can also point your mobile phone’s camera at the QR code the box carries and watch videos about the Zini range, I found them more interesting than informative.

The Zini Janus Prostate Massager is not one for those who like to feel their ass stretched wide during anal play, but will please anyone who understands how a good prostate massager will enhance your orgasms and intensify your climax.

 

 

 
Jopen Ego E3 Cock Ring

Jopen Ego E3 Cock Ring

There are cock rings and there are cock rings. Or if you like “penis rings” of course, but whatever you call them they are all different. This particular model is of a reasonable circumference that means you don’t feel you’re being garrotted if you have a large girth and manages to incorporate a relatively large and powerful bullet very effectively.

Let me explain.

The Jopen Ego G3 cock ring is a USB charged, silicone cock ring. The silicone used in its construction is soft and finished with a satin-matt surface that gives it a quality feel. Charging in three hours or less the Lithium ion battery provides reliable power to a vibrating mechanism that delivers thrumming, powerful stimulation to you and your partner.

Other features include a travel lock and the fact that it’s fully waterproof.

The size of the opening on the Jopen Ego really attracted me to this particular cock ring. I don’t like to be held too tight by a penis ring, either it has to be very flexible, or have a large internal diameter to begin with to appeal to me. The Jopen E3 has both, the perfect combination.

Here’s how the Ego E3 Cock Ring works.

You turn it on by pressing the clicky switch at the apex of the largest of the five segments that surround its vibrating bullet. I choose my words carefully here because the switch is nice and positive, you can tell you’ve pressed it because of the tactile and clearly audible click it makes. Discreet push-buttons are all very clever but especially when sex and lubricant is involved a positive action and feedback from controls is in my opinion essential. It rather detracts from the passionate moment if you find yourself fumbling with the controls on a sex toy.

When you’ve turned the bullet vibe on a light under the switch illuminates. The constant glow from this illuminates your love making, you certainly don’t need it to tell you that the cock ring is vibrating as even at its lowest setting the vibrations are rather powerful. Pressing and holding the button increases the power of the vibrations, the indicator light flashing faster as you do so until at top speed the light is constant. Whatever sped you choose when the button is released the light goes back to constant again. While a steady light while you’re screwing in the dark is rather kinky and illuminates your naughtiness in a very pleasing way I’m really glad the light is constant once you’ve set the speed – otherwise you’d feel like you were in a very freaky disco.

You can turn off the cock ring by pressing the button once. How do you reduce the power of vibrations? You can’t. The problem with a single button is that there are only so many functions you can cram onto it – on, off and increase is really all you need. Jopen could have added other buttons but then you’re back to a more complicated setup and distractions.

There is one final feature that the control button provides. Press it three times in succession and your cock ring is locked so it will not come on accidentally when being transported. Three times again and it unlocks ready to use. This works most of the time, though unlocking the cock ring was, I found, sometimes hit and miss. Not the end of the world.

When it comes to using the E3 Cock ring I was really impressed. As you’ll have gathered I can’t wear small/tight cock rings so with its reasonably wide opening coupled with nice soft but strong high grade silicone this one was unusually comfortable. Because of my girth it was quite tight but not the uncomfortable vein-bursting pressure that often stops me from being able to review these sex toys.

We first tried the ring missionary with the bullet above my penis and immediately realised this is a comfortable and very powerful unit. Despite the size of the vibrating section it wasn’t uncomfortable pressed between us. Far from it, the smooth curves didn’t dig in and the power of the bullet rocked us both as soon as we began to, er, enjoy ourselves.

When we switched to doggy style and I rotated the ring around the base of my penis we found the stimulation even better for us both. We ground against one another for quite a while just enjoying the stimulation!

In conclusion I have to say that I can find little negative to say about this vibrating cock ring, the occasionally temperamental travel lock perhaps it’s only flaw. I like the USB charging, it’s big enough for me but will fit most guys because the ring is nice and stretchy. The power of the vibrator is terrific and can genuinely be enjoyed by both partners without the weird gymnastics sometimes required with less powerful cock rings of inferior design. The combination of materials, shape and sheer strength of vibration means that like me you’ll be keeping this cock ring close to hand and using it often.

 

 

 
Colt Anal Douche

Colt Anal Douche

Anal sex and other forms of anal play are becoming more and more widely accepted in the heterosexual community. Whereas once anal sex toys were the subject of derision and labelled as “gay” enlightened heterosexual men and women are realising the intense sensations that can be derived from anal play of all kinds. Of course the anus is not designed for sex and apart from requiring lubricant anal sex has obvious practical issues associated with it because of the colon’s primary function.

Anal douche can help and reduce the risk of little accidents while you’re having fun on your own or with your partner. While the Colt anal douche from California Exotic Novelties is aimed squarely at men if can be used by both sexes whatever their orientation. In fact I chose to review it because it is practical and sturdy, not a flimsy product that would fail after a few uses or one of the douches that is sold as single-use.

The Colt Anal Douche does look pretty sturdy but not too intimidating, with its two different styles of probe, the thin one that comes attached to the latex bulb and a thicker, ribbed probe with a rounded end. Yes, I did say latex so if you do have a problem with latex and react to it then avoid this product. Other than that all you need to remember is to make sure you lube the probe up well and take care when inserting the douche into your anus.

I decided to use only the thicker, ribbed probe because it’s round end looked much more comfortable to negotiate through the tight opening of my ass. Call me cautious but the rather pointy looking end of the thinner probe looks too much like a slight misalignment might hurt.

I ran a bowl of water and got it to what I judged to be body temperature, or perhaps a little cooler by testing it with my hand. Then I submerged the bulb in the water, driving out the air and letting it draw in the water a couple of times until I was sure there was no air left inside. While I got ready to try the douche I stood it on the bulb which has a slightly flattened end so none of the water ran out. It’s quite stable because of the weight of the water but a little more of a flat on the base would be nice.

I then fitted the ribbed probe, lubed up with some thick water based lubricant and gently pressed the tip of the probe against my opening.

The douche slipped in very easily, and came to rest before I had reached the wide rubber collar at its base. I gently squoze bulb, letting the water enter me until I felt that I had sufficient fluid inside then slowly removed the douche. Releasing the water was an interesting experience but not the untidy affair I had feared. Probably because I had taken care to ensure the bulb contained no air before I started.

Cleaning the Colt Anal Douche is easy as its parts are smooth and non-porous. The tip of the larger probe unscrews so every millimetre can be thoroughly cleansed.

If you’re getting serious about anal play then an anal sex accessory like the Colt Anal Douche should be on your shopping list.

 

 

 
Fetish Fantasy Leather Love Mask

Fetish Fantasy Leather Love Mask

Masks have one of two functions, either to mask the identity of the wearer from the rest of the world or as in the case of the Fetish Fantasy Leather Love mask to deprive the wearer of their sense of sight.

This is a simple sex toy but as a mask can be a key ingredient of a BDSM play session it can also be the most important. So how does this offering from Fetish fantasy fair?

Well to begin with the mask is made from soft leather which is comfortable to wear. The side of the mask which rests on the face and eyes is covered in a velvet material that is both comfortable and prevents the wearer’s face getting sweaty – a common problem with cheaper masks. The mask is held in place with a simple elasticated strap, quite thin but thick enough to do the job and not cut into your ears.

I would have liked the leather to have carried a stronger smell as I find that to be a turn-on in itself but sadly the high quality soft leather used to make the mask is virtually odourless.

OK, now for the only real criticism. The mask is a completely flat design, and people’s faces are not flat, for a start there’s a large protuberance in the middle called a nose. So, while the blindfold does limit your vision it does not remove your ability to see completely. A slight change in the shape of this blindfold and one or two seams stitched into it to make the leather follow the general contours of a nose and it would have been perfect.

As it is I would say that you need to use this as a purely an aid to play and if you’re looking to completely deprive your lover of sight while you tease them then you’ll have to find something else. On the plus side this is an easy to use, comfortable and unthreatening product that makes a great beginner’s blindfold.

 
Ouch! Crop

Ouch! Crop

The Ouch! Range of BDSM  and bondage products attracted my attention a few months ago and now I have the opportunity to bring you a review of another item from the range – their riding crop. It comes in two versions, PVC and leather. Here I’m reviewing the PVC version, though apart from the surface finish and aroma I suspect the leather one will be pretty similar.

Excluding the practical wrist strap the crop is 67cm long from one end of the handle to the tip of the square tip – there are two shapes of tip so check which one you’re buying, square or heart shaped. The crop comes in several colour variants too, ours is black, but you can get white, purple and pink as well as combinations of these colours.

I suppose the crop is easier to wipe clean if it’s made from PVC and it does look rather nice and shiny in your hand when you’re wielding it ;-) However I would have liked to play with a leather one – I do love the smell of leather. The shaft of the crop that joins the round handle to the flat square tip is covered in plaited PVC with the same shiny finish as the rest of the toy.

The Ouch! Crop does make a lovely swishing sound when you swing it through the air so I was eager to try it out on Alex’s ass. Purely for professional reasons you understand. I had  him strip naked and lay face down on the bed so that I had unhindered access to the skin of his pert buttocks. We both enjoy this type of play, sometimes he’ll be submissive sometimes I’ll submit to him; We both have our own preferences and pleasure/pain thresholds, it’s finding those thresholds which is the most fun.

I began as I usually do, gently rubbing his skin with the tip of the crop, and hit a problem. The shaft of the crop is so flexible that you can’t massage or rub your partner easily with it. So what? You might think if you have not used a crop before, it’s about inflicting a good thrashing isn’t it? Well, no. We think good BDSM is about control, control of your partner and control of the experience for you both. Pain is a part of that but contrasting a stinging thwack with a soothing massage can amplify the effect of a toy and enhance the experience.

OK, I thought I can rub him with my hand. I tried some gentle strokes and found the crop pretty good, though with a tendency to bounce a bit as the blows landed. Harder strokes with a longer swing tended to make the accuracy of my blows increasingly erratic.

Despite the lack of stiffness in the crop I was able to play quite well, inflicting stinging hits with the Ouch! Crop until his backside started to glow. I don’t like to inflict too much pain but on a couple of occasions Alex commented that I had landed an uncommonly harsh switching to his skin. There’s that slight lack of control again, although it did add a little randomness to the fun and made me smile in a sadistic way.

I found that the crop had some unexpected features. The plaited shaft drags across the skin and can therefore provide a different sensory experience to the subject of your play. This was even more fun when I decided I’d had enough of Alex’s buttocks and began to toy with his turgid cock. Laying on his back I gently tapped and rolled his member with the crop, and boy did he enjoy that!

I wouldn’t say the Ouch! Crop is perfect because of its over-flexible shaft but it does have a lot going for it. The construction quality is good and the PVC model is nice and easy to wipe clean after use. It looks the part too being nice and shiny. I can’t vouch for its durability yet having only used it once but what I can say is that it was a lot of fun and is reasonably priced.

 

 

 

 
Bound To Tease Mini Flogger

Bound To Tease Mini Flogger

With all the interest in that well know trilogy of books about BDSM there has been a corresponding increase in the interest in sex toys of all sorts. And of course that includes sex toys related to bondage too. Always aiming to please we thought we’d review this Flogger from the “Bound to Tease” range of toys.

This isn’t a big scary whip but more of a tool for sensual pleasure. Made from soft suede and dyed in black and a rather attractive purple it appeals rather than alarms when it appears in the bedroom and that has to be a good thing for couples experimenting with something new. Yes it’s a sex toy for newcomers to BDSM so any seasoned practitioners of the arts of domination and submission should be aware it’s probably not for them.

The flogger looked great in the bag it was supplied in but gave us a malodourous surprise when I slipped it out of the clear plastic bag. The smell. The bright colours of the suede come from dying, I mean you don’t get many purple cows so that’s hardly surprising! But it seems that the manufacturers were rather keen to pack up the flogger when it had been made and didn’t wait for the pungent smell of dye to dissipate before sealing it in its packaging. I hung the flogger on the handle of a wardrobe in our spare room for a few days before the aroma had reduced to a tolerable level.

This is a toy for sensual pleasure as we found in the bedroom. The length and weight of the flogger are not sufficient to deal a hefty blow to your partner, that’s not what this sort of sex toy is meant for. You can if you persevere apply a reasonable thwack to suitably bared buttocks but what is much more fun is to mix hard strokes with gentle ones. Dragging the soft “fronds” (as the packaging terms them) across your lover’s skin provides the most enjoyment, especially when accompanied by the use of a blindfold.

I found it very relaxing to have my back, neck buttocks and upper thigh’s stroked with the flogger. Though it does tickle on the back of the knees! Ten minutes of that had me itching to turn over and my pleasure at being caressed with suede tendrils was “prominently evident”.

Suze took a little more time stroking my “prominence” with the flogger before she demanded I fuck her. She didn’t put flogger down then but was able with a deft flick of her wrist to manage a few gentle strokes to my buttocks while we were engaged in our fun.

This is a small flogger with a soft touch that is ideally suited to those new to kink in the bedroom. Apart from for the softest of play sessions serious BDSMers would find it very tame, which of course makes it an ideal introduction to flogging, spanking and other adventure between the sheets. Couples will love its gentle caresses that allow you to experiment with new sensations and the bright, fun colour scheme that says play, not pain.

A nice place to begin exploring new pleasures with your lover.

 
Nexus Revo 2 Recharged

Nexus Revo 2 Recharged

I have a lot of plastic cards in my wallet but only one of them is a Nexus Authenticity card telling me that the toy I picked up from the Nexus stand is a genuine Nexus Revo 2. OK, so I’m not quite that anal, the card is in the box with the Nexus Revo 2

But you know what I’m saying. Nexus are proud of their new prostate stimulator; The question is will it impress me as much as they think it will?

If you are not already aware the Nexus Revo 2 is a prostate stimulator/massager that is designed specifically to be inserted into a man’s rectum to provide deep and intense stimulation during masturbation or sex. Externally all you see is a grey ABS plastic base with a matt silicone cover over the massaging anal probe. The probe itself is shaped to match the internal anatomy of a man making this thoroughly one for the boys. Externally the silicone extends over the top of the body and forms the perineal stimulator, a series of raised bumps covering the powerful vibrator hidden inside the Nexus Revo 2.

What makes the Nexus Revo 2 different from all other vibrating prostate stimulators other than its predecessor is that it massages your prostate for you. Other similar toys depend on you moving to massage the prostate. Some vibrate and this can be very pleasant but the nearest experience you can have of the Nexus Revo 2 without buying one is to have your partner insert a lubed finger in your ass and massage your prostate.

There’s a lot going on with this anal sex toy so let me get the specification out of the way before I tell you what it’s like to use:

  • 6 stimulation modes
  • 2 head rotation speeds
  • A contoured shaft designed to lock into place and hit the male P Spot
  • Is made from body friendly silicone and ABS plastic
  • Is quiet in operation
  • It’s rechargeable
  • It’s splash proof, so just needs careful cleaning before and after use.
  • If you don’t want to keep it in the box you can use the handy little drawstring bag supplied for storage

The Nexus Revo 2 is as quiet as it’s possible to be with a thunderingly powerful vibrator inside, so while it’s not exactly stealthy you’ll probably not notice. One of the best things about the Revo 2 is that you can now recharge it via a USB port on your computer and any phone charger with a Micro USB adapter that delivers at least 500 milliamps (0.5 amps). Charge indication is via the LED under the power button that can be found at the front of the Revo 2 – Red means charging, green means ready to go. A full charge from flat should take about 4 hours. You plug the Micro USB lead (supplied) from your PC or charger into a magnetically coupled charging pad which then attaches to the Revo 2. This is OK, but I found the pad’s contacts can slip off if there is any torsion on the lead. The solution for now is to ensure that the lead isn’t twisted or falling over the edge of the desk when you are charging but Nexus may need to look at this, perhaps making the groove on the Revo’s body into which the charging pad nestles a little deeper on the next revision.

The six modes consist of three with slow head rotation (the bit that works the magic on your prostate) and three with fast rotation. For each rotation speed you get no vibration, continuous vibration and pulsing modes.

Cleaned and lubed I inserted the Nexus Revo 2 then waited for a few minutes to let myself get used to it inside me. This is always an important step when using prostate massagers. When in place the single control button is easily accessible under your scrotum. Easily accessible, but a little difficult to use, I think Nexus have made it necessary to give the button a very positive click to switch between modes so you don’t switch settings accidentally but I did find this a little awkward. And while I’m on the subject of the controls you have to cycle though all settings before the Revo 2 turns off. I would have preferred a button that you hold in for a few seconds to immediately stop the toy but that is my preference.

Every one of the six modes offered by the Revo 2 is intensely stimulating, in fact the strongest settings literally made me go cross-eyed! I have never experienced such intense P Spot stimulation from such a compact and self-contained sex toy. The gentle yet insistent rotation drives you towards orgasm while the vibration sends intense tingles up through your groin. An all-round tidal wave of sensory ecstasy.

I have made a few criticisms of the Revo 2, constructive ones I hope, but none of them detract from the fact that this is a quality and very effective sex toy for men.

When a company produces a genuinely new product the leaves the competition stunned it takes a pretty special design team to do that two years in a row. Personally I think that’s what Nexus have done with the Nexus Revo 2. They’ve added functionality in terms of power and functions, plus they have made the toy rechargeable without adding the complication of a separate power supply. The presentation of the toy is excellent, making it great for retailers and as a present for your lover … of for yourself ;-)

 

 

 

VërSpanken MasturbatorThe VërSpanken Masturbator is billed as “A new kind of home entertainment system” by its manufacturers Big Teaze Toys. And it most certainly is. The only other male masturbator that I’ve encountered that even vaguely, and I mean vaguely, resembles it is the Monkey Spanker, and that is a totally different beasty altogether.

So disregarding any other male masturbators what is VërSpanken?

VërSpanken consists of a plastic case made from TPR into which you insert two “Wieners”. The Wieners are as you might expect thick sausage shaped soft plastic inserts which provide the texture for the masturbator experience. They come in wavy, bumpy and smooth varieties, normally filled with foam (FoamWienersTM). But you can also buy WaterWienersTM – designed to be cooled in the refrigerator or warmed in the microwave thus increasing the range of sensation available to you. The instructions also suggest you mix and match Wieners to give even more variety.

The only thing you will need to buy to use your new VërSpanken is lube. You can use any sort of personal lubricant, including silicone lubes for this product. However don’t use any oil based lubes of any kind as they may damage the toy.

The case of the VërSpanken is hinged at one end with a clasp at the other allowing you to easily open the toy to remove the Wieners for cleaning or to lube them up before use. Indeed this open-ended design allows you to vary the pressure when you use the VërSpanken from light to tight as you prefer. This is especially useful if you have a large girth and find more conventional sleeve type masturbators constricting and difficult to use.

The hinged case design means that this masturbator fits guys of any size without compromising sensation for any one of them. Inspired.

I initially tried the wavy FoamWienerTM set installed when I was given the VërSpanken at the eroFame Hanover trade show. Using a good quality hybrid lube I’d also picked up at the show I found I needed quite large amount of lube to ensure my penis and the VërSpanken were thoroughly slicked up and ready for action. Without thorough lubrication the VërSpanken tends to pull at your skin, not the sort of tug you’re looking for.

Hard, slippery and VërSpanken in hand I experimented with the masturbator, attempting the “upward curl”, “rocking & stroking” and “swivel” actions all suggested in the masturbator’s manual. At first I found the VërSpanken a little large to handle but quickly got to grips with the shape and became adept at sliding it up and down my hard cock. The sensation is that of a slick pussy or a skilful mouth working on your shaft – very pleasant indeed. The yielding nature of the Wieners and the ability to perfectly control the pressure against your shaft make this a very effective sex toy.

Next I tried the WaterWienersTM, heated in the microwave. As a guide I warmed them for two minutes ten seconds at 700 watts, but I’d suggest you experiment as all microwaves are different. And having WaterWienersTM explode in your microwave would probably invalidate the warranty of both the cooker and the WaterWienersTM ;-)

Nice and warm I fitted the WaterWienersTM to the case and proceeded to play. The warm wieners give a great sensation, far exceeding my expectations of their smooth surface. I do like contours, ridges and bumps inside masturbators but the combination of elastic walls, surrounding the warm liquid inside created the perfect sensation as it was squeezed around my penis while I masturbated and ticked every box.

VërSpanken represents a whole new type of masturbator. It is simple, easy to clean and is also fully recyclable, including the packaging it comes in. The inventor and owner of Big Teaze, who we talked to at great length at the eroFame show has even made sure that the materials used are such a high standard they would be fit for use in children’s toys.

Safe, fun, eco-friendly and effective. I’m impressed!

 

 

 

 
Ouch Bondage Tape

Ouch Bondage Tape

Bondage tape is one of the simplest of adult products and one that encourages you to think creatively. The mind is of course the largest sexual organ and every time you exercise it the mind gets more and more sexual.

Essentially bondage tape is a tough but soft plastic that doesn’t stick to your skin but does adhere to itself allowing you to wrap up you or your partner in any number of ways. That in itself might not sound very erotic or stimulating, but that just means you’ve never tried it.

Let me explain, bondage tape is very versatile but until you’ve started to experiment with it you’ll wonder what all the fuss is about. I’ll take you through some scenarios :

As a blindfold bondage tape is great. It’s opaque and very comfortable, you need to wrap it around your partner’s head a few times to get purchase because as mentioned above it doesn’t stick to your skin, just itself. However once on place it’s comfortable but totally effective at removing your partner’s sight so great for a bit of domination.

Used to restrain your partner bondage tape is easy to wrap around your partner’s limbs and very comfortable. Properly wrapped the subject of the restrain is held firmly and securely without the risk of rope burns or any form of discomfort – unless you want them to be uncomfortable …

You can wrap whole limbs or other appendages in bondage tape. It feels very sensuous against the skin and means the body parts you choose to apply it to will be shiny and sexy. Being touched through a covering of bondage tape is pretty sexy too, like having a thin PVC skin of your own design.

Yes very kinky and we love it.

With Ouch bondage tape each roll is 20 metres in length so you could it are careful create a whole outfit from it, though if you go out in a bondage tape dress I’d take a spare roll for repairs. And yes, I know for a fact that some people have done just that for fetish events. In the bedroom of course you don’t have to worry about the odd “wardrobe failure”, indeed that’s part of the fun.

I created a rather nice bra for Suze from Bondage tape (it took quite a bit of tape to accommodate the booblies) and she loved to be fondled through the skin-tight custom plastic lingerie. Her hard nipples and moans attested to that. However as we became more and more amorous her nipples started to poke out – bonus, easy access! You see bondage tape is at its best and most reliable o firmer body parts so nice soft boobies do tend to escape.

As you can tell bondage tape is a great hit with us from kinky clothing to sensual bondage. One thing to note however is that it is in no way reusable – once this tape is off the roll you can’t get it to roll up again. A pity because we hate throwing things away after one use.

Ouch! Bondage Tape is a great way of introducing soft bondage and kinky play into the bedroom and will be something that you return to again and again because of its compellingly sensual nature.

 

 

 

 
Protex Latex-free Condoms

Protex Latex-free Condoms

From time to time we like to review sexual health products because sex is about having fun while being safe. Sexual health and safe sex means you can have more fun, not less because it’s no fun getting an STI! Then of course there is the small matter of unwanted pregnancies …

A barrier method of contraceptive protection is the only method of contraception that provides protection against unplanned conception and STIs and while no method is 100% safe condoms are the best way of protecting you and your partner, especially in a new relationship.

One of the problems with traditional latex condoms is that some people react to the latex which creates irritation and inflammation – not the sort of warm glow you want after sex.

So we thought we’d try some latex free condoms from Protex for those of you who have a problem with latex.

The condoms can be bought individually or in packs of 6. Each is individually wrapped in its own plastic canister with a foil lid that’s easily removed in the height of passion. There’s no strong fragrance or taste with these condoms, after all this is for those of us who have sensitivities that might not be limited to latex. A light covering of lubricant means you’re ready for action as soon as the condom is rolled on.

And that is the only problem. I couldn’t roll the condom over my erect penis. I got the clear prophylactic about two inches down my shaft and found myself painfully constricted. The material used for these condoms seems to be some form of polyurethane which while virtually inert and eminently suitable for users with latex sensitivity does not have the necessary elasticity to accommodate penises above average size.

These condoms are great for most people and I’m rather disappointed that I couldn’t actually try them “in action” so to speak. This is not a problem that only affects Protex products however, it’s because of the necessity to use materials that while safe and inert but are lacking in elasticity applies to all latex free condoms. What’s needed is a range of sizes, guys with smaller than average penises would find them slipping off during intercourse, if you are very well endowed you’ll simply not be able to get these on at all.

If in doubt, try before you get amorous, the last thing you want is to be at that intimate moment and find that you don’t have a suitable condom to hand.

This is a quality product, well made and well presented. The packaging means you can carry these condoms with you without damaging them because of the sturdy canisters each is supplied in. Far better than the foil packs of cheaper condoms that can get crushed in your pocket or torn when you tear open the packet – rendering them useless. Like I said, pity about the size/elasticity but that’s a problem with all latex free condoms.

 
Super Sucker 2.0 Masturbator

Super Sucker 2.0 Masturbator

The Super Sucker 2.0 Masturbator from Doc Johnson claims to give you a “natural super sucking action”, whatever that might be. The inference of course is that this masturbator is going to emulate the ministrations of a blowjob expert on your cock.

It’s made from soft, translucent UR3 material so as soon as I opened the packaging I was hit by the cloying and distinctive smell of Doc Johnson’s ubiquitous sex toy isomer. I washed the toy which does reduce the odour somewhat but it still lingered and although I’m used to the smell of UR3 from previous sex toy reviews I found the smell of this toy more intense than any I’ve tried before.

Along with the soft masturbation device is a powerful 7 function bullet vibrator. The bullet in itself is one that your partner might want to get their hands on for their own uses as it’s incredibly powerful. The three LR44 batteries needed to drive the bullet are provided in the box but when I loaded mine I found the O-ring which seals the battery compartment was made from a very inferior material and immediately stretched out of shape, leaving the battery compartment vulnerable to the ingress of water. Such a shame for such a nice little bullet.

Well, back to the masturbator sleeve itself. I inserted the bullet and found that the channel in which it fits was jagged and torn. Another miss on build quality by Doc Johnson. I was starting to feel a little disappointed by this sex toy; And from such well-known, established manufacturer too.

With a little water based lube and a handy erection I tried the Super Sucker 2.0 Masturbator out.

Well, it’s rather nice as it happens. The rubbing inside is distinct and effective and the sleeve stretched to accommodate my 7 ½ inches which is always a relief because some simply don’t manage it. The walls of the masturbator are rigid enough to make the internal contours effective for stimulation but thin enough to allow you good control as you stroke yourself. However the sucking action isn’t as distinct as I’d hoped, probably because UR3 is a very soft material so you are never going to create an effective vacuum in the top of the toy to give the sucking action.

Then there’s the vibrator. You can only feel the vibrations when you are fully embedded in the toy and the wider side of the flange on the base which contains the bullet is against your scrotum. When that’s the case your balls tingle with the bullet’s power but when the vibrating section of the toy isn’t in contact with the base of your cock you can feel nothing in your shaft just a little tingling in the finger soft your hand holding the toy.

Finally the translucency of the masturbator. I suspect that the properties of the UR3 material mean that it’s impossible to make it totally transparent. A pity because although you can see yourself inside the masturbator sleeve there’s no detail to perv over. Even when you cum inside things just get a little milkier than before and in that respect it’s inferior to truly transparent masturbators.

In summary I have to say that as a masturbator the Super Sucker 2.0 Masturbator from Doc Johnson is a perfectly serviceable sex toy. It does the job but it doesn’t suck, vibrate or give you a view of the action in ways that I had hoped.

 

 

 

 
Tenga 3D Spiral Masturbator

Tenga 3D Spiral Masturbator

In this sex toy review I’ll revisit a toy from a manufacturer I’ve experienced many times – Tenga. From their single-use toys to their more environmentally friendly reusable models they always manage to produce something a little different. This is probably due to the different outlook this Japanese manufacturer has on the sex toys it designs. There’s something quintessentially Japanese about a Tenga masturbator.

The material used to construct this masturbator is the same high quality soft elastomer used in most of their recent designs. It’s opaque, has little scent and is easy to clean. It comes in a clear cylindrical case that acts as storage and perhaps more importantly as a display case that will appeal to retailers and consumers. The buyer can see what they are buying and the retailer can show off the contours of the masturbator without a diagram or cut-away because this toy is supplied inside out!

Mounted on a central pillar in its packaging the Tenga 3D Spiral Masturbator is turned outside-in before use to flip the initially outward facing stimulatory pattern inwards. You can see what you’re getting when you buy the toy and it makes cleaning so very easy. And as I said retailers will love this sex toy from Tenga because it looks so good on the display.

In the base of the packaging you’ll find instructions in Japanese and English alongside a sachet of water based lubricant (or “Hole Lotion”as Tenga like to call it), ready for your first use.

This range of Tenga masturbators comes in three different contours Spiral, Module and Zen each with distinct design of stimulatory ridges.

Using the 3D Masturbator is great fun. Its 10cm length easily accommodates even the largest erect penis because of its elasticity, one of the distinct advantages of the stroker style masturbators over those in a hard case. However I can’t attest to its durability when stretched over a big penis as when I pulled it all the way down to the base of my cock the end of the masturbator was stretched so as to make the opaque elastomer almost transparent. Careful use shouldn’t cause damage to this quality masturbator however.

Using the 3D Spiral Masturbator definitely worked for me. The Spiral’s poly-helical ridges were perfect to stimulate the tip of my penis and particularly the frenulum. The supplied “Hole Lotion” being just the right viscosity to ease the passage of the swirling pattern over my sensitive glans.

After use the Spiral Masturbator is easy to clean and as the instructions put it “While unravelling the Tenga 3D, wash all sides thoroughly with water to remove all remaining lubricant and other fluids”. I had to laugh at “other fluids”, I mean what might they be? :-)

The Tenga Masturbator isn’t as cheap as some, but it is a quality product. The material used is both free from the strong odours and sticky surface finish of bargain basement  masturbators, The “Ag Elastomer”, is ant-bacterial so with careful cleaning will be inherently more hygienic than cheaper male sex toys.

If you want an effective, easy to clean, quality product then you should try out a Tenga 3D of one design or another. What will your weapon of choice be?

 

 
Ouch Deluxe Handcuffs

Ouch Deluxe Handcuffs

Some sex toys speak for themselves, and perhaps one of them is the Ouch! Handcuffs. That doesn’t mean they don’t deserve a sex toy review; But I mean, they are just another set of handcuffs, right? Actually no.

We’ve tested a number of bondage restraints over the years and when it comes to handcuffs it’s often difficult to find the ones that work for your mood. Steel cuffs can be a little harsh, and all that covering them in faux fur does is to make them fiddly to use and look a bit daft. Often you need something in the middle, not too hardcore but a set of cuffs that will stand up to some reasonable strain.

The Ouch! Handcuffs consist of two loops of thick, braided synthetic strands connected by metals rings that include a cast central section with the Ouch! name, naked lady logo and the words “For pure sexy spanking”. Two of the rings have spring-loaded catches allowing each of the rope cuffs to be easily removed and attached. When closed these loops are smooth so will not easily catch on skin and don’t require a key to release them.

I’m pretty impressed by the practicality and build quality of these cuffs. The broad, braided loops that restrain the wrists (or ankles) of the submissive partner are reasonably comfortable until you start pulling them about, at which point they can feel a little coarse. This means you are able to gently restrain, or if the mood in the bedroom demands it apply a little gentle coercion by simply guiding your slave with the cuffs. Don’t over-do it though, synthetic fibres can mark skin and burn skin if used too harshly.

When used in the bedroom these cuffs stand up to all the demands we placed upon them, gentle but firm manipulation of the submissive partner (Suze) was easy. So long as you don’t cause the cuffs to slide quickly around their respective limbs you can exercise control without the risk of damaging skin. The series of rings between the cuffs allow you to grab them easily during play to guide your partner in a way that a pair of normal Smith and Wesson style cuffs with a short chain can’t.

So long as the submissive partner doesn’t pull too hard on these cuffs you could use rope or some other means to tie them to the bed. However the cuffs do have a limit. While the soft wrist sections would probably be strong enough to tow a small car (don’t try it please!) the interconnecting rings do spread if you pull the cuffs apart hard enough. This does not damaged the rings with the spring catch in them but the other rings begin to open up which could lead to an unexpected failure of the cuffs – the moral? Don’t use them for any sort of play like suspension where you’d be relying on them to support your partner. To be fair, this applies to a lot of cuff designs and you really have to apply a lot of force to make the rings spread but I have to mention it for completeness.

This is a really useful set of cuffs for adventurous lovers. There are going to be a lot of couples wanting to explore bondage in the bedroom because of the 50 Shades Of Grey series of books and I can see these cuffs working well for them. They are not a set of expensive and scary shackles, nor are they the sort of badly made and uncomfortable faux cuffs sold to stag and hen parties as novelty items. You can have a lot of fun with these restraints, especially if you combine them with a little spanking … Ouch!

 

 

 

 
Deluxe See-Thru Stroker From Pipedream

Deluxe See-Thru Stroker From Pipedream

Strokers are a relatively cheep way of enhancing the experience masturbation for men. Strokers tend to be defined as male masturbation aids that don’t have a hard outer case/shell, single piece soft sex toys for men made from soft, flesh-like plastic elastomers. What tends to differentiate them from one another is the internal texture and whether or not their external appearance is made to appeal to a particular predilection.

However this stroker from the PipeDream Extreme range differs very considerably from most in two ways. Firstly it has two channels to accept your erect penis. One is billed as a vagina, the other as an anus. Being ribbed with regular, very non-natural contours the distinction is somewhat arbitrary, though the “anal” channel is significantly tighter than the “vagina”. The external appearance of the toy mimics the corresponding natural anatomy.

The biggest difference between this and most other strokers is that while the outer sections of this male sex toy are opaque, the “love tunnels” are totally transparent. Other toys, some significantly more expensive claim to be transparent but are often more translucent and when combined with complex stimulating contours often make it difficult to see what’s going on inside. This stroker gives you a really clear view of the action when you’re using it. A feature that both I and Suze really enjoyed. Suze always likes to watch me using these masturbators, particularly the ones that allow you and your partner to observe you pounding your member. So to have one give such a superb view was more of a thrill than normal.

Before I describe what the toy is like to use I ought to mention that:

  • It comes in one piece, the opaque and transparent sections being moulded together so it’s easy to clean.
  • The “Fanta Flesh” material is slightly tacky when not lubed up, and of course must be lubed for use otherwise it will simply cling to your skin.
  • The toy comes with a small tube of lube and another of the PipeDream toy cleaner. Though as always I used warm water and an anti-bacterial soap to cleanse it before and after use

The Pipedream Extreme Stroker is a reasonable size and very stretchy. This is real plus as many smaller strokes tend to have the end of my cock popping out of the end during use, whereas only the head of my penis emerged at the end of each stroke with the Deluxe See-Thru Stroker. Use a water based lube with this toy, making sure you have plenty in the toy and on your penis so as to avoid uncomfortable friction.

Entering the stroker is pretty easy, the Fanta Flesh is stretchy so they haven’t had to make the openings so tiny you can’t get inside it. The openings are only about 5mm across but open immediately when you push inside them while maintaining a nice tight grip on you.

I tried the vagina first, the larger more widely spaced ribs in there giving a pleasant feeling. Next, encouraged by Suze to “fuck her (the toy) up the ass” I tried the narrower “love tunnel”. You get quite a “zing” from this particular opening with its closer spaced ribs :-)

The walls of the toy are thin so you have total control over the pressure you apply to your erection through the toy.

All good fun, which Suze engaged in too with a little wrist action of her own, nice.  I took over for the happy finish to ensure that when I did cum she could enjoy me half in and half out of the toy and the sight of my semen filling up the transparent tube.

This is a genuinely different toy, not revolutionary but lots of fun. It doesn’t try to be too realistic, though the luxury Fanta Flesh is a great material to masturbate with and does provide an enjoyable enhancement to masturbation with the added bonus of total voyeurism for you and any onlooker(s).

 

 

 

 
Silk Rope Love Cuffs From Fetish Fantasy

Silk Rope Love Cuffs From Fetish Fantasy

Most couples have tried a little bondage in the bedroom. However progressing beyond a little improvised restraint can be a bit daunting so it’s great that the market now offers a wide range of what at first might appear to be soft introductions to bondage. I say at first because many of the products, like this one, are actually suited to the beginner and the more experienced user.

Although the rope isn’t actually silk it is soft and silky. It’s joined by being melted together which has two consequences, the joint is covered by a plastic sleeve to cover the resulting hard edges and prevent the joint scratching you and when you first get the cuffs out of the box they smell of burnt plastic. This aroma immediately begins to dissipate but it was a bit off-putting at first.

The locking mechanism of the cuffs is provided by two sturdy plastic buckles with nice rounded edges. They are easy to tighten and release.

What you don’t get with this toy is the “ancient art of Japanese bondage without having to be an expert”. Japanese bondage is a skill and an art that requires knotting of rope, patience and practice. That’s not a criticism of the toy, just the hype of the package. This is a very practical toy with a variety of uses.

The packaging shows a pair of rope cuffs with a long pair of ropes joining them. About twice the actual length of rope that the cuffs come with. Not a big criticism but relevant if you intended to use them specifically as ankle cuffs – in which case you would not get the range of movement the box illustration depicts. In fact on a normal set of wrists/ankles you get 10 to 12 inches of rope between the cuffs.

Wearing these cuffs you can get them quite tight so beware, but they are easy to release so that’s not going to cause you too many problems. They are soft on the skin and very, very strong. The synthetic rope used in them would probably be strong enough to light a fridge so it feels the part and is not going to snap in the bedroom. Soft, strong, just not as long as the picture on the box LOL

You could combine two sets of these cuffs, looping one through the other to gently hog tie someone or simply experiment with one set to help manipulate your partner. And afterwards the only signs that you’ve been a bit kinky are rather nice impressions in their skin that soon fade.

This isn’t a set for the hardcore BDSM practitioner, it’s more for couples who want a quality, easy to use set of restraints that is strong and relatively gently on the skin. The softness of the rope and the strength of the construction means that all but the most demanding of users will find this set of rope restraints an ideal accompaniment to their bedroom bondage fantasies.

 
PipeDream Pump Worx Travel Trio Pump Set

PipeDream Pump Worx Travel Trio Pump Set

The PipeDream Pump Worx cock pump and masturbator is a sex toy that seems to model itself on a games compendium – but for adults.

At the heart of this product is a cock pump, or as Pipedream call it a “Pump Worx Travel Trio Pump Set”. You can take a breath now. It has an opening 3cm across (with a little elasticity taking it to about 4.5cm in use) and is just over 20cm long. It’s in fact 6cm in diameter at its widest point, not 8cm as stated on the box. On its own it’s a very useable and solid cock pump, the suction being provided by a bulb pump rather than the rather more industrial pistol grip pumps on some more expensive cock pumps. It’s pretty easy to clean though the seal at the base of the cylinder seems to be bonded to it so it’s not possible to entirely disassemble it.

One criticism I would have of the cock pump is that it is a very smoky plastic, verging on opaque so you can’t see your erect penis inside it easily at all. This is a little bizarre because you need to see how erect your cock is to be able to judge if more or less suction is applied and read the length against the graduations on the cylinder.

Using the cock pump on its own is very easy, a little lube to stop your skin grabbing on the seal and away you go. You can create a rock had erection in just a few seconds and the packaging indicates you should put on the cock ring to maintain it and increase the intensity of your ejaculation. Not for me I’m afraid. Although described as a “Mega Stretch Pleasure Ring” this is one of the tightest cock rings I’ve come across. It was tight when stretched around two fingers so there was no way I would try and garrotte my cock with it. If you do find that you like to wear a cock ring to maintain an erection you’ll probably have to buy one separately.

Not a huge problem because apart from the cock pump you would probably select this set because of three soft “Fanta Flesh” sleeves that slip over the opening of the cock pump to give the impression you are slipping your erection into a  mouth, vagina or ass. Each of these sleeves has a loop on top into which you can slip the powerful bullet vibe which comes with the kit. It’s powered by three LR44 batteries and controlled by an easy to use twist-base to give totally variable speed.

For those of you who haven’t encountered it before Fanta Flesh it’s a soft plastic isomer that’s designed to mimic the texture and density of human skin. It takes lubricant well – water based only! – and washes easily after use with soap and warm water.

I found it was just possible to use the sleeves but because the diameter of my cock is just less than that of the cylinder it was a tight fit, certainly not entirely a comfortable fit. Indeed I was only able to get my cock inside the sleeve and cylinder by attaining a full erection then lubing up and sucking myself inside the cylinder using the bulb pump.

Finally inside the Travel Trio I turned on the bullet vibrator – nothing, not a thing, the Fanta Flesh effectively absorbed the vibrations of the surprisingly powerful bullet making it pretty useless unless you rotate the cylinder so the vibrations contact your scrotum where it buzzes against your balls like a demented bee. Not entirely pleasant.

One thing that the blurb on the 31cm square and 8cm deep package does suggest is that you use the box this toy comes in as a “travel box” so you can “Enjoy every comfort of home while on the road”. I don’t know about you but I can’t see many travelling businessmen walking through a hotel reception or customs with this on full show, even if it does have a handy carrying handle.

Oh, and Pipedream do include a few other bits and pieces with this cock pump. Three tiny tubes, one containing lube, one of toy cleaner and finally a tube of “Mr Thick Dick Penis Enlarger Cream”. I used my own lube for the testing, cleaned everything with soap and water and as for the enlargement cream … really?

 

 

 

 
Geisha Luxury Erotic Massage Set

Geisha Luxury Erotic Massage Set

This set of massage oils from Geisha’s range of Erotic Body Care products gives you the choice of four different blends of aromatic oils to suit your mood. Each of the four 30ml bottles contains a soya oil based massage fluid with its own distinct fragrance.

  • Delight is described as a “Rich oriental fragrance that blends the sensual scents of ginseng, cedar wood, amber, clove vanilla and musk”
  • Spicy is scented with patchouli, ylang ylang, amber and musk.
  • Exquisite claims to be an aphrodisiac blend of sandalwood, patchouli, musk, ylang ylang and jasmine
  • Harmony is fragranced with Japanese peony, Thai pepper, frangipani, white musk and vanilla

The set of massage oils is packaged beautifully and would make a perfect gift to a female partner with its promise of many indulgent evenings of sensual massage. And in reverse I can’t see many men not enjoying a massage but also the promise of being able to massage their partner were they to receive this product.

Now I can’t vouch for any specific aphrodisiac properties of any of the massage oils in the set but they do help you relax and establish an intimate bond with your partner even after the most stressful of days. That alone is worth the cost of the product. But quality massage oils like this are much more than that.

On their own you can use the Geisha massage oils to help you both relax. Combine them with a blindfold and perhaps a little light bondage and you can have the makings of a sensational evening of sensory stimulation.

Smell being perhaps the most evocative of senses it triggers very basic and potent reactions in both participants of a massage. So needless to say we enjoyed the oils in this set on all sorts of levels and will continue to do so until the bottles are exhausted. The combination of aroma and intimate sensual contact that massage entails is very compelling.

Having four different blends of fragrance in one set is a huge advantage as it allows you to match the oil with your mood and the ambience you want to create. You’ll always have a favourite, ours is “Spicy” but tomorrow it might be something else, LOL.

The oils should be used within 6 months of opening, but that’s unlikely to be a problem because this is a product that you are likely to want to use as often as you can.

A well presented set that aids relaxation and enhances foreplay. The oils are “enriched with Vitamins E & F” too so your skin could benefit too. Geisha’s massage oils will encourage you to do the one thing that a modern life often denies you, taking time out to relax and enjoy the time you have with your partner to the full.

Fleshlight Vagina Touch Vibro

Fleshlight Vagina Touch Vibro

If you don’t know what a Fleshlight is, I’ll explain. Since its launch the Fleshlight has become arguably the best known male sex toy in the world. Produced by Interactive Life Forms the top of the line masturbator has been copied and spawned a host of similar products. Even its own makers have created similar, slightly cheaper products to satisfy a market that isn’t prepared to pay the top-end prices commanded by the Fleshlight. You can see my review of Interactive Lifeform’s cheaper but fun product the Suck You Dry Masturbator here.

The Fleshlight Touch I was sent for review has the “female” opening, i.e. it’s in the shape of a slightly pouting vulva. Despite being soft and yielding the outer form of a Fleshlight does alter the experience the user of the product has when pleasuring themselves. When fully inside the toy you can, to a certain extent feel the form against your groin.

In addition to this your erect penis is stimulated by the texture inside the toy. The “Touch” design reviewed here has row upon row of soft “spikes” that rub and massage your cock as you work the Fleshlight up and down your penis, or indeed thrust your cock into the toy.

The outer part of all Fleshlight consists of a three part hard plastic case, the small cap at the far end of the toy can be loosened and tightened to vary the suction it applies to your member. Before and after use you can dismantle the Fleshlight for easy and thorough cleaning.

In addition to the usual features of the Fleshlight mentioned above this particular model is a Fleshlight Vibro which means you get three waterproof bullet vibrators to insert into the toy to add to the experience.

Now while the Fleshlight itself is a popular and effective means of enhancing the experience of masturbation the three bullets that turn it into a vibrating masturbator do seem like a bit of an afterthought. The bullets are single speed, the instructions for the Fleshlight Vibro informing you that to vary the vibration intensity you should vary the number of inserted bullets. The bullets are only single speed, no patterns, no varying intensities. All of that is not so bad as the vibrations are just part of the experience but what is a little irritating is that the bullets have to be inserted in to the soft Fleshlight insert and turned on before the insert is placed into the hard outer case.

If you don’t get the bullets fully into their pockets in the soft insert they rattle on the case too, which can be a bit off-putting.

In summary, while the Fleshlight is an undoubtedly popular and fun masturbator the Vibro version seems like a bit of a clumsy addition to the range. There’s nothing wrong with the product as such except for the awkwardness but I’d think carefully about paying for the vibrations rather than a perfectly serviceable and cheaper non-vibrating model.

 
XXX Truth Or Dare

XXX Truth Or Dare

This adult game is the first one I’ve noticed having a disclaimer/warning inside about the potential for the game to be “objectionable” to either the players or even the law in the country within which you are playing it. A sensible precaution I suppose, though with a name that starts “XXX” and a box that states “Extreme Adult Gaming” you would think that the purchaser and/or supplier would have realised that.

The black glossy box contains your game board, a stack of “Truth” cards, a stack of “Dare” cards, a dice, a timer and player markers to track your position on the board. You also have a little deck of “XXX” cards used to keep track of how many times you’ve been around the board – an important aspect of the game.

The rules for the game fit onto one side of a piece of paper smaller than a piece of A5. The game requires that you travel around the board obeying the instructions on the squares which include taking a Truth or Dare card, having a drink or “Up to You” which means you can move to the next Truth or Dare square on the board and take a card. This sex game encourages players to take cards and in doing so makes sure you quickly get down the stacks. When a player finishes a circuit of the board they take a XXX card and when they have two can instruct one or more of the other players to do something – what the other players do is up to the “Master” with two XXX cards. After this the “Master” returns the cards and you carry on. Presumably until you’re too drunk to continue or (literally) shagged out.

Truth and Dare cards are exactly as they sound. Truth instructs you to tell the other players about your fantasies and previous sexual experiences. Dare cards give you sexual tasks to perform that range from French kissing all the other players to “doing whatever you like” with another player.

XXX Truth Or Dare

XXX Truth Or Dare

From what I just said you have probably realised that you have to be pretty comfortable with your playing partners to consider pulling this one out of the games cupboard during a dinner party. It’s about telling everyone your saucy secrets and acting out your fantasies. Now that’s great if the friends around you are like-minded and want to get into your pants as much as you want to be in theirs but means it’s not a game to get out when the vicar comes round for tea.

For a couple (how we played it) then it’s going to get you talking (dirty), laughing and probably horny too. It would be good at the start of a relationship in that it would get you to open up or later on when you know each other to maybe encourage you to try new things.

The simplicity of the game encourages you to play it. The unsophisticated rules are easy to understand, even if you’re a bit worse for wear, in fact if you’re too drunk to follow them you’ll be past caring anyway! If I had to criticise I’d have to say that the number and variety of Truth and Dare cards should be increased, or you should be provided with cards to write your own Truth/Dares on to broaden and personalise the game. But otherwise it’s a great game that doesn’t require too much effort to understand and can be a great deal of fun.

The makers of XXX Truth or Dare Game also offers variants of the game to suit other sexualities and scenarios “Couples”, “Gay”, “Lesbian” and a one called “Twist or Dare”. Something to suite everyone it would seem.

 

 

Clover Anal ProbeI’ve done quite a few anal sex toy reviews now, far more than I ever imagined I would believe me! The Clover Anal Probe falls into the categories of anal beads and a more conventional probe. Its TPR shaft is flexible but firm, so definitely an anal probe, but also anal beads because of the five graduated bead-like sections moulded into the shaft.

In addition to the basic beaded shape the manufacturers make a feature on the packaging blurb of the “Pleasure Grooves” a series of lines inscribed into the otherwise smooth surface of the probe. They also mention the cloverleaf shaped handle which is easy to hold in a variety of ways but is not a revolution in design.

I let Suze try out the anal probe on me accompanied by one of our favourite anal lubes, a task that as always she approached with her customary professionalism and enthusiasm :-)

With one hand on my cock and the other guiding the slender tip of the probe into my ass I let her enjoy herself. And in turn enjoyed an intensely pleasurable wank.

Slowly working the probe into me and up to the fourth bead Suze slowly masturbated me, from the look on her face enjoying the feeling of penetrating me with the tool in one hand and a hot, hard cock in the other. Once the third bead was inside it was obvious that was the limit for me. If the shaft of the Clover Anal Probe had been more flexible I could have easily accommodated the whole toy but because of the twists and turns inside my rectum trying to insert it more deeply became uncomfortable.

Instead Suze slid the probe in and out – popping my ass as it’s known, the undulations of the beaded shaft dilating and releasing my sphincter and in turn stimulating the myriad of nerve endings down there. Blended with the firm and steady strokes of her hand on my cock I soon closed my eyes and let her take control of my pleasure.

She skilfully edged me for several minutes until there was no stopping my orgasm and I came all over my belly and her hand with my ass gripping the anal probe hard.

To summarise, you can use this toy from beginner level upwards though I doubt that if you like anal stimulation you wouldn’t soon be looking for something else. It’s great for popping but because of its lack of girth and the unisex nature of the toy making it unsuitable for prostate stimulation it is more of a naughty accompaniment for other bedroom antics. The “Pleasure Grooves” don’t add to the experience IMHO though they may help distribute lube better than a plain, smooth toy. One for the beginner, inoffensive, fun and easy to use.

 

 
Rev1000 Masturbator

Rev1000 Masturbator

Reading the box that the Rev1000 came in warned me to “PREPARE YOURSELF TO EXPERIENCE THE MOST INTENSE CLIMAX EVER!”. Yes it is printed on the box all in bold and the last bit was in a slightly bigger font. That’s some build-up and a big claim to live up to. So let’s see how it performs …

The Rev1000 has seven speeds and seven functions, a nice wide range to let the stimulation match your mood. The speeds range from slow to just short of worrying! The functions vary from simple rotations to various back and forth movements. Very inventive. Oh, and there’s an on-off button, so you do not have to cycle through speeds and functions to turn the unit off after your happy finish.

The unit is rechargeable via the international charging unit supplied in the big blue box that your Rev1000 comes in.

Before and after use the Rev1000 is easy to clean. The hard plastic case unscrews into 5 separate pieces so you can remove the inner soft silicone sleeve. You will be able to keep your Rev1000 masturbator spotlessly clean. The silicone sleeve is the most delicate piece of the toy, but fear not because the Rev1000 comes with a spare so you’ll enjoy many happy hours of masturbation without having to worry about wearing it out.

Lube is of course a must when using a masturbator like this. Normal male masturbators need lube but when you have a motorised toy whirling around your cock using it without lube would be dangerous in the extreme – Eeek! Buy a good quality water based lube as this is guaranteed to be compatible with the silicone insert. Avoid oil and silicone lubes as they may damage your new investment.

The controls on the Rev1000 are easy to use, two for speed, up and down, two for functions, up and down again. And the on-off switch.

Hard and lubed I pushed myself inside the toy, taking care to drizzle a generous amount of lube in the silicone insert too. When you start the toy you can see the mechanism inside rotate through the smoky plastic section of the body. Watching the different functions is quite fascinating, not to say rather enjoyable. I spent some time experimenting with different speed and function combinations (49 in all), most of which were in the range pleasant to invigorating.

Unfortunately none made me feel that building rush of excitement that presages orgasm. Is the Rev1000 too different for me? Probably because although I enjoyed the experience I did resort to a “traditional finish”. The orgasm was enjoyable, mainly because I had been aroused for quite a while, which always intensifies the ultimate climax.

 

In summary I have to say that I didn’t experience the “MOST INTENSE CLIMAX EVER!” as stated on the box. The fact that I chose to reach orgasm the old fashioned way may be something to do with personal taste and/or that the motion of the masturbator isn’t what does it for me. I reviewed the Rotobator here and wasn’t really blown away by it, the Rev1000 on the other hand is a much more sophisticated device with a wider range of movements and intensities. I was really disappointed the Rev1000  didn’t work for me because it’s a quality toy whose designers have put a lot of thought into it – but that doesn’t mean to say it will not work for you.

 

 
Tease Adult Game

Tease Adult Game

When I contact the makers of the Tease Game I was urged by its creator to play the game with at least one other couple. The reason for this will become clear below, but I bet your naughty little minds are already exploring the possibilities of playing an adult game with an open minded couple …

I’ll start with first impressions – bloody marvellous. We’ve played a few adult games since we started testing and the finish of the product, printing quality, design and standard of instructions can be variable. Tease is at the top end of the scale, in fact IMHO it’s the best presented game I’ve reviewed. Why? Well, partly because of the pin-up theme, I’m a sucker for that look, but also because it has nice wooden player avatars/counters (as opposed to plastic) and a mock-canvass type finish to the board and box.

Everything follows the pin-up theme from box, through board to game cards – but it’s the game cards where I have to level my first criticism. The text on them is printed in grey, on white this could be a problem but the cards have a variety of pastel coloured backgrounds and this means that especially in low light they are very difficult to read.

Well on to the game play. This is described in the 8 page A5 booklet that accompanies your Tease Game. I’m not going to describe the rules in detail, suffice to say that the game involves traversing the game board by the use of the supplied dice. You are directed by the comprehensive and extensive set of rules to traverse the board, gaining rewards, paying forfeits and becoming increasingly familiar with your playmates. You do this through telling each other secrets, acting out increasingly sexual and intimate actions and eventually acting out your fantasies.

Did I mention that you will also be required to strip when you land on “strip” squares?

We invited a couple we’ve known for years across for drinks and fun to test the Tease Game, telling them we’d picked up this game as a bit of a giggle and thought they’d be up for trying it out. Our experience of previous games meant we thought that as longstanding friends they’d enjoy a bit of risqué fun and an evening of drunken kiss and tell.

Well we only got to level two! Even though drinking is an integral part of the game, bringing with it its consequent reduction of inhibitions.

I ought to explain, the “Reward” and “Forfeit” cards that are used in the game start of at 1 and go up to 5. Depending on the type of game played (and this is laid out in detail in the instructions) you have a different mix of cards, but always cards up to level 5. The way the game is structured means that you have to get to level 5, get naked and act out a fantasy to complete it.

Which is why, as a group of 4 we didn’t complete it. It became apparent that in the early stages we were having fun, telling each other about our sexual fantasies and performing the occasional naughty forfeit. That was our limit, naughty. To progress to the sexual, intensely intimate levels of the game would have taken a different set of people. We even tried a little massage, shoulder massage, not the “chest massage” (and more intimate touching) instructed by the game, it was all a little too much for even very good friends.

Tease Board And Dice

Tease Game

When it became apparent that the cards were a little too much for us to countenance we spent the rest of the evening reading them to each other and were able to a) enlighten our friends on a few sexual terms they were unfamiliar with and b) found out they weren’t as sexually naïve as we thought they were from some of their sexual tales!

I like the way in which the game tries to ensure that all players reach the same level of undress and naughtiness together while maintaining fun and the element of competition through “Balance” squares. That reflects the care and attention to detail applied to the construction of the whole game.

When it comes to acting out your fantasies at the end of the game you are provided with some pretty good, pretty popular fantasies and blank fantasy cards for you to add your own particular favourites.

This game is great for couples who swing, I mean really swing. It’s not really possible to fully play the Tease Game with more than two people unless you are ready to get naked and dirty with them. Playing as a couple is OK, we tried it the following night, but the voyeuristic elements of the game obviously don’t work as well – e.g. “player goes into another room to masturbate and the other players walk in after three minutes to watch” – though you can adapt this. We find this with a lot of adult games, unless they press your buttons you have to adapt so when Suze and I hit this particular forfeit we did what the card said but being used to watching each other masturbate it wasn’t quite the same as watching someone else’s partner.

In summary, this is a great game for swingers and adventurous groups of couples but as a game for a couple it has a different dynamic, particularly if you already know each other’s fantasies and kinks. Playing the game at the 1, 2 and perhaps 3 levels of reward/forfeit might be OK of couples who like a bit of raunchy fun with friends, but unless you take the game to its ultimate naked and sexual end you will explore only a fraction of the Tease Game’s potential. A beautifully produced and well thought-out game but only the truly sexually adventurous will be able to play it to conclusion.

 

 
Asylum Speculum

Asylum Speculum

Everyone has played Doctors and nurses haven’t they? Well if you haven’t you should it can be great fun in the bedroom, breaks down barriers and allows you to get intimate in the most detailed ways with your partner. Too often perfectly healthy, open partners hold back from exploring each other fully because of the possibility of offending each other. Any role play, including medical role play can overcome these barriers and let you both explore every facet of your kink.

That’s not to say that the actual act of a particular investigation will be directly sexual or arousing but it does mean that you will develop a healthy respect, appreciation and love of each other’s bodies. That’s exactly how I feel after using the Asylum speculum with Suze. I don’t find the idea of staring up a wide-open vagina sexually exciting, but I do find it fascinating and also value the trust that she puts in me when we do things like this.

The specula are made from hard transparent plastic with a ratchet mechanism adjacent to the fulcrum to lock the device open when it has been inserted. Each of the two specula are sealed in a separate plastic package inside the cardboard packaging so they are clean and ready for use without pre-cleansing.  They are in theory single use devices but the packaging does indicate you can use them again if they are thoroughly cleaned before storage. However using the same speculum on two different individuals carries the risk of cross infection so is a big no-no.

Insertion is easy with a little water based lube to ensure smooth passage into your partner’s vagina. Natural lubrication may be sufficient but it’s always best to play safe and add lube, especially with such an unusual implement such as this. Inside the blades open easily giving you a perfect view of an aspect of your female partner you would otherwise never see. I spread them to position three “of six, which is just a little wider than parallel. Wider would have been uncomfortable for Suze, but each to their own.

A torch is a must, after all it’s dark in there! I spent a couple of minutes genuinely intrigued by my first view of a place that I had until now only felt. As I said I didn’t feel horny because of it but it took our intimacy to a place it had never been before.

At another place and perhaps in a medical fetish scene it might have helped get me horny, maybe Suze too. As part of a BDSM scene like that the supplication of the female partner, allowing them to be subjected to the most intimate of inspection could form part of a very kinky and sexy evening of play. On their own however they didn’t light my fire.

The Specula work perfect, are easy to insert and remove and easy to clean too if you choose to re-use them. They are not however heavy duty so if you do re-use these devices check for cracking before you insert them as while they are more than strong enough for single use having one fail in use would make removal difficult. I tried to break one of the devices in my hand and while it was possible you would have to subject them to serious abuse before they failed.

A very different product, not for everyone but perfect for the kink explorers out there.
