Gyro G G-Spot Vibrator

It's review day!!!! That means that I got a chance to spend some quality time with a new toy. My new friend of the month is the Gyro G, a g-spot vibrator, by Pleasure Works. Here's a picture!

Isn't she pretty?  I haven't named her yet but I eventually will, just give me some time.

I ended up buying a Groupon for my favorite Bay Area adult store, Good Vibrations, so I felt like a little kid at a candy store once I had some time to do some adult shopping. I wanted to get some quality toys, but I also wanted to buy more than one, which is kind of hard to do at times because the super high quality toys (which also tend to be the rechargeable ones) have a tendency to cost an arm and a leg, and sometimes a boob and your ovaries. Fortunately, this particular toy only cost $25, so I made another purchase for a toy I will be reviewing next month.

Every time I buy a new toy I feel like I need to rush home and take it out for a test drive... in my vagina; this toy was no different. I washed it first (because it's important to be sanitary with things that will be in or around your womanhood), inserted the batteries, added a bit of lube to the toy, undressed, and then went to town. At first I was inserting the toy straight in and too deep. The sensation I was feeling was pleasurable, but that's also because I enjoy a bit of pain when there's pressure against my cervix (yes, size does matter to me). But then I proceeded to insert the toy with more shallow thrusts and at a bit of an angle; this made the world of difference in terms of G-spot stimulation. Within minutes I was experiencing a fairly intense orgasm that involved absolutely no clitoral stimulation. I even think that I might have been close to making myself squirt a couple of times, but that might have just been the different feeling in terms of stimulation in comparison to my normal masturbation method of clitoral stimulation. 

The Stats:
The Gyro G is 5 1/4" long and 5/8" wide.
It requires two double A batteries, which are not included (at this point, I have quite a few rechargeable batteries).
It is made of ABS (acrylonitile butadiene styrene) plastic, which is a hard, non-porous material which makes it easy to clean with just a simple, mild, antibacterial soap and warm water.
The tip of the toy is tapered and angled for maximum g-spot stimulation.
There are about two to three intensity settings which are controlled with a dial at the bottom of the toy. The only reason I'm not sure with the number if intensity settings is because it's easy to miss the middle setting with the dial.
There is more girth in the middle of the toy which allows a much fuller feeling while using the toy (that full feeling is really, really nice... just my own observation).
The motor is very silent (especially when compared to the Hitachi Magic Wand).
And it's velvety to the touch.

Pros:
Intense little motor.
The tapered, angled tip allows for maximum G-spot stimulation.
The girth in the middle adds to your orgasm experience. 
Simple to use.
Simple to clean.
And most importantly, it's INEXPENSIVE!!!

Cons:
The center girth can potentially be uncomfortable to some women with tighter vaginas.
THAT'S IT!

There really are no "cons" that I could think of to write up. Due to that, and my wonderful orgasms since purchasing this toy, and the extremely affordable price, the Gyro G gets a giant "DilDo" from me.

Before I sign off, though, I would like to make sure to note that this is not a good toy for anal play due to the lack of a tapered end. Never, ever, EVER insert anything into your bum that can potentially get sucked up and lost in there.

Until next time, stay excited!

My Hitachi Magic Wand... a love letter

When I first started planning my “blogging comeback” a made a list of toys that would be perfect to review. What was on that list varied from couples toys, bullets, dildo vibrators, and all sorts of other fun stuff. In the end, I decided to go with the the grandmother of all things that give pleasure... the Hitachi Magic Wand!!!! (In my head there was an “announcer's” echo as I typed that out).

When I first brought home The Magic Wand, which I have named Butch and will refer to it as such from now on, I was so excited that I almost couldn’t get it out of the packaging fast enough so that I can take it out for a “drive”. I closed my blinds, plugged Butch in, laid down on the bed and was about to go to town when I turned it on and realized why it has received all of the accolades it has. The intensity of the motor was exceedingly titillating, but the deafening  sound of the motor made me really self-cautious. I seriously felt like my neighbors could hear what I was doing. I turned on some music, to mask the sound of the motor, but I still couldn’t stop thinking about it. I began to imagine how embarrassing it would be if I was using it at night (which is my favorite time to handle my needs, before going to bed), and my landlord, whose bedroom is atop of mine, could hear what I was doing. After ten minutes of using Butch, and these thoughts going through my head, I finally came. The experience wasn’t bad, but I couldn’t get over the loudness of the motor. I was used to vibrators that are really quite, and ones in which the packaging boasts about the lack of noise.

Two weeks pass, and every time I use Butch I try to muffle the sound with pillows, blankets and by having the television on. But then, one day, when I was sitting at home and could hear my landlord having sex, I realized that I don’t really care if he could hear me. Since then, my experience with Butch has gotten a lot better. Now I don’t need to use it for ten minutes before I cum, I’m right around the five minute mark at the moment.

The entire time, during the first two weeks of using Butch, I wasn’t really judging the effectiveness of the Wand to bring me to orgasm; I was judging the sound it made and was over thinking about it so much that it was preventing me from enjoying this amazing toy. The vibrations are exceedingly powerful, even on the low setting, which I don’t believe in because I either go big or don’t use it at all. Either way, I have finally come to appreciate the power of this toy, and I also fully agree that it deserves every single accolade it has received thus far.

Now for the nitty gritty details:

The Magic Wand measures 12.5 inches, and weighs about 1 / 1.5 lbs. What I love most about the Magic Wand is how I never have to worry about batteries, whether it’s replacing them or recharging them. You plug this amazing toy to the wall and just turn it on and bask in all its glory. There are two settings to the Magic Wand, High and Low, and the head of the wand is designed for external use, on the cllitoris. Although, I guess if you want, one can potentially insert it, but I don’t recommend doing so unless you put a condom over the Wand.

The head of the wand is made of what appears to be a leather type of material, or it can just be soft plastic, which are both porous. If you are going to use one of these on your lady parts please make sure that you ALWAYS put a condom over it. No matter how much you clean it, it will never be clean enough to place over your vulva, unless you boil the top clean, which I’m sure you will not want to do unless you want to risk potentially throwing away $60. I opted to purchase a silicone Pop Top (pictured below with my wand), which is cheaper than constantly purchasing condoms (unless you always just grab a handful of condoms from your local gay bar as I have). 

The Pop Top did muffle some of the vibrations, though. If you don't require such a high intensity in vibrations as yours truly, then I think that anyone with a Wand should go to their local toy store and purchase one of those bad boys. They come in three different colors, and each color has a different texture; ridged, knob-ly, and smooth. It is designed to have a snug fit over the head of your wand, so putting it on at first might take a few minutes, but taking it on and off to clean it gets easier. Also, it helps to prevent wear and tear on the top of your wand. 

Pros:
- No batteries required
- Strong vibrations
- Can be used for other areas, like lower back (I have tons of lower back pains)

Cons:
- Loud
- Top is made of porous material and requires a condom or purchase of a silicone top
- A foot long

Honestly, those cons aren't even a big deal, even the loudness of the wand. The Hitachi Magic Wand gets a very long awaited "DilDo" from me. I'm so glad I decided to buy this great toy. 

Until next time, stay excited!

Women Penetrating Women

Before I begin with this week's blog post, I want to just let all the readers know that next week's post will be a very intimate post for me, and it will be posted on the blog on Saturday. So keep don't fret if you don't see it until the weekend.

Additionally, I have now added a "Donate" button on the blog (on the upper right hand side of the website), for anyone that would like to contribute to the blog. I intend to use the funds for future toys to review. Now onto today's post.

**************************

Last month, on my "Sex with Women" post, a reader asked: "How do two women engage in sexual intercourse?" I promised to respond to this question with a blog post, so here it is.

When I read that comment, the first thing that came to mind was the scene in "Chasing Amy" where Alyssa, played by Joey Lauren Adams, explains to Holden, played Ben Affleck, how two women can have sex. Holden's problem came with his lack of understanding how a woman can penetrate another woman, therefore thinking that two women can't REALLY have sex. I think that it's quite possible for some men to believe this, and believe that just because a woman has never been with another man that she's still a virgin. Then the question becomes, what is the definition of a woman losing her virginity? In all sincerity, this could just mean the first time you are penetrated by a partner, whether it be with a male bodied partner and their penis, or a female bodied partner and their fingers/hands.

There's a common misconception that a woman loses her virginity when her hymen breaks. Sorry to burst your bubble, but there are a lot of young girls and women who don't have intact hymens and whom have never had any kind of sexual intercourse. Due to how active young girls and women are, it's quite easy for a girl to tear her hymen, but this doesn't mean that she's not still a virgin. When I lost my virginity (the first time I had a phallus penetrate my vagina) I didn't bleed. I had already broken my hymen a while ago; I think it was when I was younger and horseback riding. But I digress from the original question.

Aside from fingers and hands, women can penetrate other women with their tongues and with a strap-on. Some lesbian couples go to adult toy stores together to purchase toys to penetrate each other with; this practice is quite common. I've had a few conversations with men that don't understand this; why would two lesbians want to have sex with a strap-on? Why don't they just have sex with someone that has the real thing? Well, this is quite simple; because women don't "love" penis, or any other form of phallus. What they love is the person it's attached to; and this goes for pretty much all women, not just lesbians. The act of penetration, whether it be from a dildo or the real thing, is what's intimate, not the actual phallus itself.

Furthermore, to love someone is a form of penetration, and for some women, this is the important type of penetration. If I am with a woman and we love each other, and we're having sex but are not physically penetrating each other, that doesn't mean that when we're performing other forms of love-making we're still not penetrating each other in some way. Hopefully this has been insightful.


Until next time, stay excited!

My New Vibrator, My New Paper Weight

Before I begin, I would like to give all of you owners of both adult toys and dogs a bit of advice; make sure that you put your toys, particularly your favorite ones, out of your pooch's reach. I'm usually really good about putting toys away after I have washed them, but a few weeks ago I left my Smart Balls out on top of my "toy" chest and my dog, Ginger, discovered them, since it was at an accessible height for her, and decided to make them her new chew toy. I came home after work to find one of the balls had been chewed open and the weight that goes inside was nowhere to be found (and I wasn't about to start checking my dog's poop for it).

Fortunately, the Smart Balls are relatively inexpensive, so I don't mind replacing them, but it's still annoying. So remember, dogs love toys that are chewy, so silicone adult toys are just silicone dog toys to them. Keep your toys in a drawer(s), plastic bin, chest, padlocked safe, or anywhere that a dog can't open up and get to them. Now on to this month's review!

*************

Today I'll be reviewing the Goddess Dual Clitoral and G-Spot Stimulator by Blush Novelties.

After a night of partying with a friend that was visiting from out of town, I came home and noticed I had a package waiting for me on my doorstep. I was pleasantly surprised and knew right away what was waiting for me in the package. I decided to leave the package unopened and went to bed; after all, it WAS three in the morning. When day-time came, and my dog decided it was time to wake me up so that we could go out for her morning walk, I opened up the package and took out my new pink vibrator. At first touch I was already really exciting, mainly because the feel of the silicone was really smooth and pleasant to the touch. Even my out-of-town friend agreed that it felt nice as she briefly examined the toy. Unfortunately, though, I had to wait a couple of nights before I would get a chance to try out this new toy. As much as I love my friend, I don't think that she would have appreciated me using the toy in my studio apartment while she was staying with me.

After my friend left, and the suspense had been sufficiently built up, I finally got a chance to spend the night with my new friend. I lubed up the head of the toy and went to town. The Goddess has seven different vibrating functions, all controlled by one button that's close to the clitoral stimulator. After about two minutes of using the toy, I realized that it wasn't really doing anything for me. I thought that it was possible that I just wasn't "turned on" and needed to watch some porn to assist with getting in the mood. After a short while of watching some porn, I quickly realized that the lack of porn was not the issue. I played with the various vibration settings, and still nothing. I quickly realized that the vibrations were just not strong enough. The shaft of the toy vibrates nicely, but the head, the part that's supposed to be hitting your G-spot, only faintly vibrates. The same thing goes for the clitoral stimulator, the vibrations were just not strong enough. I eventually gave up and decided to bring in another toy into the mix, my handy Layaspot. A few moments after incorporating the new toy, my Goddess DIED!!! Well, it stopped working. I thought that it was probably the batteries, so I just took them out and put them back in and it started working again. But this revival was short lived, a few minutes later the Goddess stopped working for a second time. At this point I decided to give up and give this toy another go on another occasion. 

About a week passed before I decided to try out the Goddess again. Unfortunately, this second time around, even with my low expectations, was still a poor experience. After about 15 minutes of using the toy it stopped working, again, and realized that the motor was getting over worked. I stopped and decided to just finish myself off with my Rabbit. I don't know if I'll really be using this toy much more, aside from just using it as a paper weight, but I know that it's not a good solo toy, and due to the thickness of the shaft, it's not really a good partner toy when being penetrated vaginally. Now, if you want to get penetrated anally while the Goddess is inside you, then it MIGHT be an alright toy, but I have yet to try that out.

All in all, the Goddess Dual Clitoral and G-Spot Stimulator by Blush Novelties sadly gets a "DilDon't" from yours truly. Now, if you don't require strong vibrations, then this toy might work for you, but it did not for me. The good thing about this toy, though, is that it was a fairly inexpensive toy, so not much of an investment was made on my new paper weight.

Until next time, stay excited!

SmartBalls, Keeping Your Vag Strong!

To my readers in the US, Happy Independence Day! To everyone else, Happy Hump Day!

Today I'm going to be reviewing FunFactory's Smartball Teneo Duo. This toy is meant to strengthen your Pubococcygeus muscle (also known as your PC or pelvic floor muscles) by forcing you to contract these muscles and give them a workout. In other words, it assists with you doing your kegel exercises by providing you with something to squeeze.

When I first got my Smartballs I was visiting my mom in Los Angeles and went to a sex shop for a comedy show, after which I decided to purchase a few things. I had been wanting some kegel exercise aides for a while, so I was really excited to buy these. Unfortunately, I had to wait a week before using them since I wasn't about to walk around with them inside of me while I was around my mom. As soon as I got back to Portland, where I was living at the time, I immediately unpacked my Smartballs, washed them with warm water and soap, applied some of the water-based lube that was included on the Smartballs, and then inserted them. I have to admit that I didn't enjoy them being inside me at first. I could feel them in there and if was a bit uncomfortable. I decided to just suck it up, leave them in there, and take my dog to the dog park, which was not a good idea.

While at the park I felt like I could barely walk because the balls were just not working that well for me, and I wasn't sure why. After about a half-hour, I went back home and took them out. As I was pulling the string to get the balls out, I realized that the last ball was not inserted all the way, which probably had a lot to do with my discomfort level. Either way, I sort of was not too happy with them and decided to put them away and get to packing, since I was going to be moving to the Bay area in a few days.

The second time I used my Smartballs, which was a few weeks after my first use, I changed things up a bit. The first thing I did was just insert the first ball. (Side note: FunFactory sells a Teneo Uno SmartBall if you're not planning on ever putting both of the balls in). I allowed my vagina to get accustomed to just having one ball in there while I squeezed my PC muscles. I did this for a bout 20 minutes before calling it a day with the Smartballs. This time, the experience was a lot more pleasant, but I had still not tried putting both balls in. I kept up this one Smartball regimen for about a week straight until I finally decided to woman up and give having both Smartballs in at the same time another try.

My second go at having both Smartballs inside of me went A LOT smoother. I didn't want to overwhelm myself, so I just had them inside for about a half-hour. The entire time I couldn't tell they were in there, but then again I was just sitting at home watching TV. The following day I decided to be a little more bold and wear them while I took the dog out for a walk. I have to say that it was the BEST dog walking experience I have ever had. Because the Smartballs are weighted they move around inside of you as you move, causing you to feel as if they will fall out and forcing your PC muscles to contract. Every now and then I could feel one of the balls hit my G-spot, which would constantly catch me by surprise in the most pleasant of ways.

One day, while I was getting ready to review the Layaspot, I decided to use my Smartballs while masturbating. This experience was stimulation overload. I didn't know why, and I didn't really care why, but my orgasm went everywhere in my body. Just as I was cumming my entire body began to twitch and spasm. Later on I realized that not only do the Smartballs strengthen your PC muscles so that your vagina can "hug" your male bodied partners when they are inside of you, but it also makes you extra sensitive, at least for me. At times I go a few weeks without using the Smartballs, and I have noticed that my orgasms tend to get a less and less powerful as time passes between my last use. Right now I'm trying to build up the courage to wear them while at work. When I do end up doing this I'll be sure to let you all know how that experience goes.

Yes, when I first used the Smartballs they were uncomfortable, and I was sort of turned off from wanting to use them again, but I am now a big believer in the power of the Smartballs and the benefits of kegel exercises. If I would have started this blog months ago I probably would have given this toy a "DilDon't", but with a little patience, and use with other toys, I am now giving this toy a resounding DILDO!!!

A quick caveat before I finish, the Smartballs are not intended for anal play. You should never insert any toys into your anus that does not have a flared end. The string at the end of the Smartballs feels a little too flimsy to me, and if you were to insert the Smartballs into your anus and then the string broke, there's a possibility that you might end up making a bit of an embarrassing trip to the ER in order to get them taken out.

Until next time, stay excited!

My mom and the blog

I was going to post about anal sex today but a conversation I was having last night made me decided to leave that for next week and write about telling my mom about this blog. Whenever I go and visit my mom, I sometimes bring up the topic of sex, not because I want to make her squirm, but because I feel like this is a challenge for me. I have never been comfortable talking to my mom about sex, particularly because when she found out I wasn’t a virgin she started to cry. Needless to say that I was heartbroken and exceedingly annoyed by her reaction, which resulted in me never wanting to talk to my mom about sex, until I started the blog.

I have been trying to be as open as I can about the blog, including with my family. My mom, who is the most important member in my family, along with my grandma and aunt, is aware that I have a blog that revolves around sex, but she doesn’t know how personal I get with my
blog posts.

This past December, when I was visiting my mother in Los Angeles, I told her that I was going out to go watch a comedy show. What I failed to mention was that this comedy show was at the Pleasure Chest, an adult toy store, and that I was planning on purchasing a few items while I was there. When I got back from being out, I showed my mother what I purchased; a mini padlocked chest and Smartballs by Fun Factory (which will be reviewed next month). I began explaining to my mom that I was going to begin writing a blog. Well, first I had to explain what a blog is and how everyone would be able to read the content of my blog. The next step, which was a bit harder, was explaining what the actual content would be. As I began to explain that I would be reviewing adult toys, I could see my mom’s scowl just getting scarier. When I finished, she just looked at me in disgust. I have to admit that I felt a little heart broken, but mainly because I didn’t know that my mom would object so much to my use of toys. That’s right; her reason for not being pleased about the blog wasn’t necessarily that I was going to be writing reviews about these toys, but that I was masturbating and using toys. At that point I sat my mom down for a little talk about modern day women’s health and sexuality.

Explaining to my mother that masturbation is healthy is tricky, particularly because she’s a traditional Central-American female that was raised Baptist. I tried to make her relate to any sexual urges she might have had, or might still have, but I think that my mom is now asexual. This woman would just not budge. All she kept saying was that masturbation was disgusting and a lady should not do that; I might or might not have let out a burst of laughter after she said that. This is the woman that makes an entire room laugh with her dirty jokes. A woman whose humor is so crude that if you were to hear some of her jokes you would understand where I get it from, I’m sure that my cousins who read this can attest to that. Well, when trying to have a serious conversation with one’s mother it’s probably not good to laugh at some of the stuff they say. Either way, I digress. I tried to help my mom accept that masturbation was healthy, so I put things for her the following way; would she rather I sleep around with various men until I am sexually satisfied OR just masturbate and reach that sexual satisfaction without any worries of a condom breaking, potentially contracting STDs, or even worse, becoming pregnant. As badly as my mother wants grandbabies, she finally conceded, BUT that didn’t mean that she was happy that I was writing about this. I decided to just leave it at that, for the time being, but my pursuit to change her mind about sex has only just begun.

Until next time, stay excited!

Not all Rabbits are created equal

*Due to personal reasons, which I posted about yesterday, I was not able to review a toy for this week’s blog post. Instead, I asked a friend to lend a hand and write a review of her own. She would like to keep her contribution to this blog anonymous, so I’m posting this for her. Enjoy!*

 

My First Vibrator

I have never owned a vibrator before, mainly because I never knew what I should purchase. There is such a variety of sizes, shapes, functions, etc. that make it hard for a woman to choose. I ended up going to one of those adult toy parties and that’s when my eyes were opened to vibrators that I wanted to try. My friends told me that the orgasm you reach from a toy is awesome, which convinced me to join in on the fun. My first toy was a small bullet type vibrator, which did the job but not well. I wanted to have a vibrator that was more like a real man, so I ventured out and purchased the “16 Function Super Rabbit Vibrator”. Boy was I in for a surprise!

I purchased the vibrator online so I wasn’t sure what to expect. Imagine my surprise when I opened up the box and realized that this toy that I purchased was HUGE. All I kept thinking about was how the online pictures did this toy little justice; it was a bit intimidating. I immediately started playing with the settings which in turn got me really anxious and excited to try it out. I was sure that with 16 different settings I should be able to experience the please my friends told me about. The first time I used it, my friend was in control we enjoyed trying out all of the different settings. I was able to climax fairly easily with this toy, but it wasn’t to the level of greatness my friends boasted about. Maybe I was just missing something.

This particular vibrator is made of a soft jelly material and the shaft measures 7” long and 1.5” thick. The shaft contains spinning beads and a rabbit with long ears that vibrates. For me, there were many cons to this vibrator. I felt that this vibrator was too large and bulky which made it hard for me to control it. Due to its length, I was barely able to reach the buttons to change the settings. The length of the actual shaft was okay when my boyfriend is using it on me, but other than that, it is too long for personal use. The spinning beads are supposed to be for added pleasure, but if you ask me it is like you are mixing cookie batter. They are so noisy it is too distracting to use these settings. The rabbit feature that stimulates the clitoris was just too long. I had to cut them and melt them to smooth them over. I cut them because the damn ears were pinching the crap out of my clit. There are a few pros to the vibrator, I can climax easily using only the rabbit vibrating feature and I like the length of it. The vibrator is waterproof so you can use it in the bath and shower, but I have yet to try it out. 

Unfortunately, I would not purchase this toy again or recommend it to anyone. It is too large, bulky, and the rabbit ears are too long and I had to modify them.

NOTE: As you can see, not all rabbits are created equal. A side by side comparison of the I-Vibe by Doc Johnson and this vibrator shows that the ear length definitely does vary, which is probably what added to the contributor’s discomfort, so this toy gets a DilDon't. Also, what pleases one woman doesn’t always please another, so please keep that in mind when reading reviews.
