The first Monday of each month is when the Merry Maids (or whatever the name of the company is..) comes to the house.  They do a really good job and it’s well worth the money.  DB and I got home first, and I got a kick out of seeing some of the details that makes it obvious that they were here, like the pattern in the living room carpet

Each month we get a little chuckle out of the fact that we do a little straightening up the day before the cleaners come visit, cleaning for the cleaners.  If they’re going to dust the bedroom furniture and clean the kitchen counters, the least we can do is make sure they can see those surfaces, right?

Unfortunately, with our weekend trip to NYC, we forgot all about the cleaners on Sunday night.  Among the stuff left lying out was the contents of our gift bag from the New York Sex Bloggers Calendar party, dumped on the floor by my side of the bed.  Isn’t it nice how neatly they placed everything?

Sitting on top of the bed for them to see is the latest addition to the collection of books I want to read and study ;-)

The first 200 people to arrive at the NY Sex Bloggers Calendar Party received a gift bag full of all kinds of goodies!
Personally I got a kick out of the “I love anal” button from the people at Njoy :-)

Drafting this post, I realized how similar it is in composition to yesterday’s picture.  It turns out that Veronica didn’t wear any of the bras shown in that picture.  If you saw her last night and noticed how her tits were moving under her dress, that’s because she was wearing one of her open-cup bras ;-)

When the people at Fascinations let me know that they had a Tantus ProTouch they were looking for a guy to review, I was happy to accept the assignment.  After all, before I ever started reviewing sex toys I had bought myself a prostate toy and then got another when the first left me a little disappointed.  As usual, the toy shipped out fast and was in my hot little hands within a matter of days.

About the ProTouch- it’s made of premium silicone, so it’s compatible with any water-based lube.  The insert-able length is about 4.5″, it’s 5/8″ wide at the tip and 1 1/4″ at the widest point.  It comes with a removable vibe that inserts into the base and is powered by 3 watch batteries.  The silicone material is hypoallergenic and can be cleaned by boiling, bleaching (10% solution) and is dishwasher safe.

Pros- the size is just right, at least for me.  It’s not too long or wide to be intimidating, but I definitely knew it was there.  The material is a nice combination of firm yet flexible and is very slick when lube is applied. The vibrations are strong but not too strong and when turned on at the right time really helped send me over the edge.

When I started looking at prostate toys, I was curious to see what prostate stimulation was all about, since I heard that it could intensity an orgasm, and who wouldn’t like that?!  By the criteria, did I like the ProTouch?  Absolutely!  Between the size, shape, and strength of the vibrations, I’m getting a good idea what prostate stimulation can feel like, thankyouverymuch.

Cons- it wouldn’t stay in place.  I’d push it in all the way, let go, reach around for my cock, and it would slip out.  Push it back in, it slips out, again and again.  I wondered that if the neck was a little narrower, more like a butt plug, would it stay in better.  So I reached in the drawer for our glass plug and tested that theory.  Lo and behold, it stayed in just fine.  I will say, if a partner was using this on me, having to hold it in wouldn’t be my problem and could be quite a bit more pleasurable.  Are you paying attention Veronica? It can also be used as a g-spot stimulator, you could try it too ;-)

One other minor complaint- I can’t get the damn bullet vibe back out!  Maybe it’s my lack of experience with silicone toys, but they really should include in the packaging some sort of warning to apply a little lube to the bullet before inserting it.

Thanks again to Fascinations for sending me the Tantus ProTouch prostate stimulator.  Check out their website for all of your sex toy needs, they have quite a collection!

Sunday afternoon I was chatting with Mina and Aurore on Twitter and we were talking about reviews we each had to do.  I mentioned this one I had to write and the need to “test” the toy out again.  Mina was so turned on by the idea that she wrote some erotica focusing on anally pleasuring a man.  You can read it here if you’re interested, it’s pretty hot!

  • Jackin’ Good Time by Sex Pistil
  • Trust me guys, once you go Jack Jelly, you will never want to go back. Its a non-oily, self warming lubricant, which feels like your very own precum. There are so many pros I don’t know where to start.

Pleasurists adult product review round-up

 

The wonderful people at Fascinations must have some sort of sixth sense- just a week before I was scheduled to leave my wonderful Veronica for a 9 week-long work trip, they asked me if I would be interested in testing the Tantus Stroker!  Of course I said yes, I’ve heard good things about other Tantus toys, and soon thereafter a package arrived at my door.  Of course, by then I was in Texas and I had to wait for Veronica to ship it to me…

Click to see it in use

Normally, I would have thought “why would I need a toy to help me masturbate?”  After all, Veronica and I have a very active sex life, at least when I’m home, and I actually don’t masturbate very often.  Also, let’s face it, I’ve been doing the 5 knuckle chuckle for 25+ yrs, I’m pretty good at it by now, why would I need a toy?  I’m the adventurous type, however, so why not?

About the Tantus Stroker- it is made out of 100% premium silicone, so it’s compatible with water-based lubes, but not silicone-based lubes.  I should point out that the one they sent me is a little different from that listed on the Fascinations website- this is the XL version, which is smooth on the outside and a little longer and wider than the regular version, but otherwise they are the same (I swear, I didn’t ask for the XL version, that’s what they sent me!).  Care is no different than for any other silicone toy, simply wash with antibacterial soap and water or you can boil it for a few minutes or bleached in a 10% bleach solution.  Then just let it air dry completely or use a lint-free cloth and it’ll be ready to use for the next time.

After spending a little time looking at some porn online one day, I decided it was a good time to test the Stroker.  I applied a bit of lube to my cock and slid into the Stroker.  And quickly learned my first lesson- because there was still lube on the palm of my hand, I couldn’t get a good grip, so rather than pumping my cock with the Stroker, my hand was just slipping along the outside.  However, after quickly toweling off my hand, I was good to go.

Click to see the result

I’ll admit, I was skeptical about how it might feel, but I liked it!  It’s not the same as my hand or a pussy (of course!) but the ridges inside feel good and by simply adjusting the firmness of my grip I could control the sensation.  I had no trouble with needing to reapply lube and enjoyed using it more than I thought I mind.  In fact, I’ve used it several more times since that first test.

One thing I haven’t done yet is use the Stroker with a partner.  I’ll admit, I’ve never been a fan of the handjob.  Don’t get me wrong, I like a woman stroking my cock, especially as she’s sucking my cock at the same time, but other than that, a handjob really isn’t my thing.  However, I’m curious to try the Stroker with a partner.  Any volunteers? ;-)

Thanks again to Fascinations for sending me the Tantus Stroker to try out.  Make sure to visit their site for all of your sex toy wants and needs!

  • Pirates Pendant Vibe by OnIntimacy
  • I was skeptical. I like my bullet vibes, but rarely happen upon an occasion in which it would be helpful to have one disguised as jewelry. I had a lipstick vibe once in college. I left it in my boyfriend’s dorm and one of his unsuspecting housemates wanted to see what color lipstick I wore. Long story short, we had trouble making eye contact with each other for a while.

    Note: I read enough (read: so many) reviews every week to know it’s the little things that really make a review, add that little something extra and it will make your review stand out, and that’s how this one is. What really tipped me over the edge was the corny joke embedded in the image captions and a link to the Top 10 Pirate Pick-up Lines. You know you want to go look.

  • Rascal the Baller by Wilhelmina Wang
  • Imagine my shock when I got it in the mail and realized it was FUCKING GINORMOUS: this Rascal is a whopping 17.5″ x 2.5″.

    Moral of the story: don’t order a toy without carefully checking the specs.

    Meanwhile, I was stuck with the damn thing and had to do something with it in order to write a review. The question was, what?

It’s no secret that I travel a bit for work, which of course puts a crimp on our sex life. In fact I’m drafting this post in a hotel room in San Diego.  So I thought it would be a fun to check out the novelty Clone-A-Willy kit that The Adult Toy Shoppe graciously offered to send me when I asked about it.  After all, Veronica is really just after my cock, so I might as well see if I can leave a replica of my most important part behind for her amusement while I’m gone ;-)

Veronica: Its not the only thing I’m after.  I also have no desire to operate the snow blower, the lawn mower or any of the electronic doodads in the house. ;-P

Except for some common kitchen items that would be needed for mixing the molding ‘stuff’ and the latex, everything is included in the kit.  One thing that is very important is to read the directions thoroughly and carefully before starting anything- a few of the steps in the molding process are time-critical and you don’t want to mess up, there is only one chance to get it right!

Veronica also took some time to read the directions, since she would be doing most of the mixing work.  Keep in mind, the instructions said that I had 2 minutes from the time the water is added to the mixing powder until I had to insert my cock into the tube.  This is NOT something to try on your own, it takes teamwork (more about that later), so guys, forget the idea of surprising your partner with a clone-a-willy of yourself.  Unless you have someone else to help you!

Click to see a full-size image

The first step in the process is to cute the molding top to length.  See the tube in the top picture? That’s what the molding mixture is poured into and then I would insert my cock.  Since I’m not 12″ long, Veronica helped got me hard, then I inserted my cock in the tube and made a mark where to trim it (the tube, not my cock!).  Once that is done, it’s time to get all the supplies ready to make the molding mixture.  This is the part that felt like high school chemistry class- mix molding powder with 1 3/4 cups of 98F water, stir well, then insert cock no longer than 90 seconds after starting.  Veronica did the mixing (leaning over the sink, wearing her hooker heels) while I fucked her from behind.  Hey, gotta stay hard, right? What better way than to grab her hips and have my way with her while she’s working at the sink ;-)

Once she had the mix already, she poured it into the tube and I pushed my cock into it.  And here’s where we, we being me, made a mistake.  While I was already wearing my cock ring, I was concerned about staying hard enough, long enough, until the molding mix set.  Which reminds me of my one main complaint about the kit- while timing is important, and is stressed throughout the instructions, there was no mention of how long I would have to stay hard, with no physical stimulation, until the molding mix set. 30 seconds? 2 minutes?

Veronica: I re- checked the directions and they said 1-2 minutes. Oops.

Oops is right, i missed that and had no idea at the time we were making the mold.  So what I did was reach down and firmly grasp around the base of my cock to help keep myself fully erect.  But this caused a problem- my hand was in the way, so I couldn’t fully insert my cock into the molding mix.  Even if the entire process did work, it was definitely going to be a stumpy version of my man-bits!

Click to see a full-size image

Fortunately, in only about 30-45 seconds, I could tell that the molding mix was starting to solidify, so I released the grip on my cock and just relaxed.  Once I got a little soft I withdrew and looked inside the mold.  Hmm, that’s not how I pictured how I might look!  Seriously, I thought maybe I moved or something while it was setting, because it just didn’t look “right”.

Anyway, I waited overnight for the mold to fully dry, then mixed up the latex (that’s what is in the 2 jars in the picture on the left) and poured it into the mold.  Since it was going to be stumpy, I chose to forgo the included vibrator.  I waited another day for the latex mix to dry, then simply cut away the plastic tube and peeled off the mold,

I gotta say, I was really surprised how closely the end result really resembled me!  I did hold it next to my cock for comparisons sake and Veronica suggested that I take a picture, but I decided that was a bit too much to share, even for me.  However, if you click here, you’ll see Veronica doing her best Vanna White imitation and showing you the clone.

Veronica:  It was very realistic looking down to the little ridges on his cock.  I was not expecting them to get the coloring right and as far as I know the kits do not come in skin tones.  I also did not like the smell of the product as it had a rather chemical-like smell.  I would be willing to try the kit again to see if we could get the length closer.

I don’t think it comes in different colors either.  And I wonder if the odor will subside more after a few days.

Thanks to The Adult Toy Shoppe for sending me the Clone-A-Willy kit to use and review.  While the end result isn’t at “useful” as originally intended, that’s my fault and not a reflection of the kit.  Visit the Adult Toy Shoppe for all of your sex toy needs!

I’ve been interested in glass sex toys for a while, but Veronica was less than enthusiastic.  So when the lovely people at Eden Fantasys offered to send us another toy to review, we selected a Don Wands Bent Graduate glass dildo.  As always, the toy arrived quickly and in discreet packaging.

*Click-click for full-sized*

Included in the package is a small sample of lube (which we haven’t used yet) and a really nice padded bag to store to dildo in.  It took us until a few days after we got it, but Sunday night Veronica and I finally got around to incorporating it into our play time.

I have to admit that I am not normally a dildo girl but I am really trying to be.   I guess that I really usually prefer flesh to something inanimate.  But I have had fun with my rabbit vibe, the Cyberskin extension and the vibrating bullet.  I also want to learn to squirt so I keep hoping to find the g-spot toy that will help me get there.

The toy is attractive, smooth and heavy in my hand.  I have never played with glass or any other toys that solid or hefty before and I liked the feel.  I was already wet from kissing Hubman so the curved toy went in without any lube.  It was a little cool at first, but warmed up quickly.  I twisted it around, trying to find my g-spot, but maybe my g-spot is a little higher up than the toy goes.  I then pulled the toy out and flipped it around and inserted the nubby side.  It was ok, but not thick enough to satisfy me.  I tried using it while Hubman was going down on me, but the toy just didn’t do it for me so I pulled it out and let Hubman continue with his oral attentions.

*Click-click for a treat*

I quickly learned that using a curved dildo on her while I’m going down on her doesn’t work so well.  When the dildo is positioned correctly, I can’t get my mouth on her clit :-(   But that’s just part of our learning curve with dildos and is not a criticism of the Bent Graduate at all.  So we put the dildo aside but left it within easy reach for later.

Later in our play Hubman put the Don Wands Bent Graduate in my ass, nubby end first.  There it was deliciously filling.  The trick was finding an angle to keep the toy at so Hubman could fuck me without the curve getting in the way.  We did keep it in for awhile, but Hubman and I wanted intense pounding so he had to take it out.

I liked fucking her when the dildo was in her ass.  I like the visual of a glass toy in her ass, though it didn’t feel any different to me.  She mentioned finding the right angle, I think it was actually a case of getting it deep enough so that the curved end wasn’t getting in the way of me going balls-deep in her pussy.

In all, I liked the feeling of the smooth glass and the heft of the Don Wands Bent Graduate, but I would probably like it toy if it was either longer or thicker, which is certainly no fault of the toy.  If your g-spot is 3-4″ from the opening of your pussy, then you will find the toy very enjoyable as a g-spot toy.

We are going to try it again on another night, maybe with some temperature play.   When we do, we will be certain to report back to you.

I’m also interested in trying this in my ass, or in her pussy while I’m in her ass.  Thanks to Eden Fantasys for providing Veronica and I with our first glass dildo.  Check out their online store for a wide variety of quality sex toys.
