What is an Enema and Why do I need one??

The question everyone who hasn’t experienced anal sex wants to know is “what is an enema” and “what does it do to make anal sex better”?  It doesn’t really make anal sex better, it just makes things less messy. 

Poo.  It is not pretty, but it is a reality of any type of anal play, especially anal intercourse

Going to the toilet and having a bowel movement an hour or so prior to undertaking any sexual activities usually takes care of any fecal material in the last few inches of the anal canal just above your anal opening and the sphincter muscles.

How do you make yourself poop on command?  Most of the time I can’t do it.  I go to the toilet when my body tells me it is time.  Without that message, I am sitting on the toilet playing games on my phone.

To learn about cleaning up for anal sex, I looked for reviews written by guys; bottoms to be exact.  I read about some of the things they do to be prepared for anal sex.

Dedicated bottoms watch what they eat before a session

It was a surprise to me to learn that dedicated “receptive anal sex partners” to use a ridiculously long phrase for a bottom, will changed their eating habits hours before expecting to have sex. 

They avoid red meats, spicy foods (seriously!), pastries and cakes.  Fruit might upset the stomach, and alcohol might get the system working overtime.  Ideally, the most prepared bottoms will eat anything that tends to lean more toward constipation and stopping things up instead of foods that increase the flow.

I understand that but this girl likes to eat.  To think that I have to give up some of the foods I like in order to ride the baloney pony just doesn’t go far in my playbook.  Right now I am laughing to myself thinking about the arguments the ladies of The View could have if this was the subject du jour.

Can you imagine the discussions among the ladies as to whether corn should be on the “to eat” or “not to eat” list?  For me, it is going to be on the “not to eat” list because the last thing I would ever want to see were yellow corn kernels on the anal sex towel we put down.  Ewww.

To avoid all this, I choose to use an enema and be sure that those first few inches are ready.  And I know a few people will start having anxiety about enemas – and yes I know there are some opinions on the web that you should not use an enema before sex.  Just like there are opinions that you should do this or not do that. 

What is an enema? Really. I’m asking.

What is an enema?  The technical definition is “An enema, also known as a clyster, is an injection of fluid into the lower bowel by way of the rectum. Also, the word enema can refer to the liquid so injected, as well as to a device for administering such an injection”. (wiki)

I choose to take an enema.  I use a water filled enema bottle, while I am on a towel on the floor of my bathroom, with my ass in the air – and by head on the floor.  This position allows the water to flow “up hill” and make sure there is not poop just barely out of reach.

After applying a water-based lubricant to the tip of the enema bottle and my anus, I gently slide the tip in, and squeeze the bottle to release the water.

I attempt to hold the water in at least 5 minutes, but I try to make it to 15 minutes.  Usually I am not successful, and when I can’t hold it any longer, I sit on the toilet and let it flow out naturally — DO NOT PUSH it out.

The next part isn’t so pretty.  I look into the toilet bowl and see how dirty the water is.  If it is very dark, I repeat this process because it means …. Well, bluntly, it means I’m full of shit. 

If the color is murky, but sort of clear, I know I am good to go.  My next step is to wash my anus and the surrounding area with a mild bath soap to make sure there is no poo residue on my skin.

I never use store bought pre-mixed enemas and you should not either unless advised by a doctor for a specific reason.

Larger enema bottles are better because they empty faster

Over the years, I have purchased a few enema bottles, some slightly larger than others.  The best way to describe them is a squeezable bulb or plastic bottle that you have filled with warm (NOT HOT!) water. 

what is an enema?  Why do I need an enema before anal sex?  LoveWorks Adult Store

Your preparations should allow you to give yourself an enema about an hour prior to your partner hitting the Hershey Highway.  Our goal in fact, is to have NO TRAFFIC on the highway!

It is also best not to use an enema more than a few times per week.  Your anal lining is sensitive and it is not a good idea to empty it of the protective oils and important bacteria that are resident.

The enema bottle I use most of the time is the Ultimate Douche Enema Bottle 

It is a squeezable bottle that comes complete with two different size nozzles.  It is a great beginner’s enema.  Both nozzles are about 3.5” long and the difference is in the thickness, although it is minor.  The larger nozzle works better and allows for the water to exit the bottle easier and faster so you can take it out and be done more quickly.  It is filled easily under the faucet.

Give yourself an enema in the bathroom. Please and Thank You.

Even though I described my preferred position as being on a towel on the floor, some people might start out by learning to use the douche shower if they are worried about any “mess”.  I haven’t experienced that problem and I prefer my position. 

What is that song again?  “Ass up, that’s the way I like to” douche??

There are dozens of different types of enema bottles and enema attachments that connect to your waterline in the bathroom, preventing the need for a “bulb” or “bottle”.  I don’t have the need for that, but if I was a regular female “bottom”, I might consider it.  I usually only give up the ass on special occasions.  J

By the way, the bottle to stay away from is the Disposable Douche bottle enema unless you really plan to throw it away after the first or second time, because it is made of paper thin plastic.  It feels cheap!

Using an enema to clean your anus in preparation for anal sex really helps to prevent the fudgey accidents. 

On the other hand, your partner must understand that he is driving the wrong way up the Hershey Highway and it is possible to experience a few speed bumps.  If he can’t deal with that, he should choose a different route.

Don’t forget – the key to exciting (and almost painless) anal sex is the lube you use. And the anal lube you need is not going to be sold at Walmart. LoveWorks has a full selection of quality anal lubes and desensitizers both in store and online.

Take my word for it — or learn the hard way. But don’t say I didn’t warn you …

Gum Job Teeth Covers From LoveWorks

Who doesn’t love oral sex?  BJs, blowies, getting’ yer horn blown, organ solo, bob on a knob, smoke a pole, lol –  the list of slang goes on and on.  Whatever you call it, I think I can safely say that the far majority of men love having their dicks sucked.  

What’s not to love?  Either as foreplay, or just the act itself;  in a house, in a bar, by a mouse, in a car … sorry I got a little Seussian there, but you get the idea.  Blow jobs are always a great thing, in my humble opinion. 

However, there exists a certain combination where penis size and mouth size are mutually incompatible and a certain discomfort can arise.  I’m fairly well endowed (not bragging and certainly nothing I did, just stating a fact) and my wife’s lovely mouth is average size.  Because of this her jaw gets tired fairly quickly.  Which wouldn’t really be a problem except that when she gets tired she tends to close her mouth a little.  “OUCH!!  HEY, watch it!” 

Now I don’t mind the occasional, purposeful nip on my member – if done gently and in a controlled manner.gum job teeth covers
 However, I don’t think anyone likes getting their rod rasped repeatedly by incisors.  If you do like that, you can stop reading right here.  Good luck to ya. 

For the rest of us who don’t like that, the upshot is that we rarely get the chance to blow a load down her throat – which I really like to do.  Oh, if only I had a smaller cock!  Wait a minute, what am I saying????  If only she had a bigger mouth?  No, that’s not great either. 

How to solve this issue – if only there were a solution to this dilemma!  Behold!  The answer to the problem!!  LoveWorks Adult Stores presents, wait for it, GUM JOB teeth covers!  Ta-daaaaa! 

What are Gum Job Teeth Covers? 

Gum Job teeth covers are oral sex candy teeth covers.  All my dreams have come true!  These little candy gum job oral sex teeth coversinserts are designed to cover the teeth of your partner while she/he is working on your wang in order to shield your rampant rod from the aforementioned dental abrasions.  Folks are gonna love ‘em. 

They come in three delicious gum job flavors – cherry pie, succulent strawberry and wild watermelon.  And only 32 calories (64 per two pieces) per blow job, semen not included.  The package says they are great tasting, fit easily over any teeth and taste "orally delicious".  Whatever that means, I don’t know — how else you would taste them if not "orally"?

Made by HottProducts Unlimited, gum job teeth covers have a simple ingredient list – nothing you wouldn’t find in any ordinary gummy candy.  A couple of artificial colors and flavors, but these are all listed on the web site of the FDA and are accepted as safe for use in food.  I wouldn’t let you eat something that wasn’t safe!  Or, let your dick be wrapped in it.  How many of these are you going to eat anyway? 

LoveWorks Adult Store and my readers trust me to give you the right info on various sex toy items – so let’s see how they work, whether the claims HottProducts make are true, and if they are indeed, orally delicious. 

The package was a little difficult to open – maybe I was just in a hurry!  The candy teeth covers were protected by another layer of plastic wrap, instead of taking on a cardboard flavor.  Nobody wants cardboard flavored dick, so I was happy about that.

On to the test.  My wife had a hard time getting these to stay in her mouth – they stuck together, but wouldn’t stick to her teeth.  She bit through the first set – YIKES!!   The Gum Job teeth covers kept slipping out of her mouth and were not very easy to use.  She did manage to get them in correctly and wrap her lips around my swollen tool.  Working my cock like this was pretty good for me, but it turned out that because of the thickness of the Gum Job candy she had to open her mouth even wider!

That’s somewhat counterproductive as it caused jaw soreness more quickly.  The gummies also left my prick gum job oral sex teeth coverssticky.  She did say she wished they had worked better because the idea eased her concern about hurting my member.    

What’s the final verdict on Gum Job teeth covers?  This product would be perfect for the bachelorette party or bridal shower, along with all the other cock related party items found at such events.  The package is cute and the idea is fun.  You might even buy this to give to a partner with a large dick or a small mouth – but only with the understanding that this IS a gag (haha) gift. 

It was fun to mess with these, and my wife did enjoy the flavors of the candies.  The best part is that we had fun with this and, if you’ll excuse me, we’re going to go finish the job…

Fantasy C-Ringz Ultimate Couples Cock Cage – 2 Thumbs Up!

Cock ring, cock cage, sleeves, testicle cuff – all items designed to wrap around your tool to enhance your sexual pleasure and performance.  I love ‘em!  These toys help me get the most out of my cock.  Some are difficult to use, some can be kind of hazardous if used incorrectly (!), some are easy and soft, some are hard and rigid, with vibes, balls and cock, shaft only, large, small – the choices are nearly endless.  

A quick peek at the web page of LoveWorks Adult Stores will confirm this.  I have about a half dozen of rings and cock cage of different varieties, and so I am able and willing to share my experience with you, to help you understand these and make an informed decision.  

Why use a cock ring or cock cage?  

There are many good reasons.   Well, first off they help slow the draining of blood from your erect cock, meaning that you will have c ringz cock cagean erection that lasts longer.  They can provide a feeling of tightness and engorgement.  Your dick will not only look bigger, it will BE bigger when you wear one of these.  

A cock cage can help to delay orgasm and when you do go – wow – you will know the difference.

The ring I have today is the Ultimate Couples cock cage.  This is an item in Pipedream’s line of Fantasy C-Ringz toys.  Pipedream is a very well know name in the adult toy industry and I have used their products on many occasions and have always found them to be of very high quality.  

cock ring cock cageThe unique aspect of this toy is that it has not one, but TWO vibrators.  One external to “tickle her fancy” and another that rides on top of your shaft and inside of your partner to give you both some added vibe action. 

This toy is simple to use and has a diagram on how to wear it on the back of the box.  The box is nicely done in various purple shades (the toy itself is purple) and there are instructions and some cautions printed on the label.  

Opening the box reveals the contents wrapped in plastic bags.  There was the toy itself, a controller with the attached vibes and a sampler of Pipedream’s toy cleaner and lube.  What were NOT included were two AAA batteries.  Fer shame, Pipedream!!  In very tiny print, on the bottom of the box, is where this information is.  I kinda expect toys these days to come with batteries, maybe that’s just me.  

[EDITOR’S NOTE:  99% of all toys sold do not come with batteries.  The only exception would be toys that require round “watch” batteries usually will have them included in the package.]

Ok though, if you don’t include batteries with the toy then put that info on the front of the box where it is easy to notice.  Good thing I had some batteries on hand – lol!  Under the battery cover there is a little diagram showing how to insert the batteries and there is an O-ring to help waterproof the toy, so make sure to screw the cap on firmly.  

Once I put the batteries in the cock cage toy we were ready to test.  My wife was holding the two vibes in her hand and when I turned cock cage sex toyit on she actually jumped!  They are very strong for their small size.  The two vibes have to be inserted into the holes in the toy, one into the clit tickler and one into the body of the cage.  Here a little lube is helpful also.  

When you remove the vibes to clean after use do not pull them by the wire.  You can push from the other side to start it and then grab the body of the vibrator.  Once the vibes are in the holders on the cock cage, and the batteries are installed you are ready to go.   

The material of the toy is Pipedream’s “Elite Silicone”.  It has a very nice supple, soft feeling to it.  This is important for things that I will wrap around my cock.  Silicone is an excellent material for sex toys – it is non-porous, hypo-allergenic, has no phthalates or additives, and is easily cleaned.  Silicone can be boiled, bleached with 10% bleach, run through the dishwasher, soap and water, toy cleaner, whatever you have.  

The controller is hard ABS plastic which can be wiped clean with a damp cloth, but no solvents on the plastic, please.  The controller is easy to figure out.  There is an on/off switch and a vibration selector switch.  It has five different settings for vibration.  

The first three are simply increasing vibration strength.  The fourth is a strong constant pulsing and the fifth is a variable strong pulse.  Gotta keep clits happy!  The cock cage toy is well designed for its use.  It is a smaller item, being only 2.25” long x 3.5” tall, but it packs a lot of punch into it.  The rings are very stretchy and will easily accommodate most dick sizes.  

The manufacturer says that the toy is waterproof and can be used in the shower.  Is that true?  Well, for my LoveWorks readers I will cock cage sex toysget to the truth!  So, right now, the toy and controller are sitting in a bowl of water.  I can happily report that after the last 15 minutes in the water the toy is still going strong.  Shower, tub, lake, anywhere you want to play wet, this toy can handle it.  Pipedream does offer a 60 day product warranty and they encourage you to register your new toy at their website to get this coverage.

Enough of this babble, Mike, does it work?  How does it perform?  Does it live up to its claims?  I can say for sure, yes, it does.   The cock cage is easy to use.  Just slide your wand into the holes all the way to the base.  A little lube can help here.  You do have lube, right?  

Then carefully stretch the bigger ring around your scrotum and balls.  The package says the material won’t stick to hair or skin.  Seems smooth on skin, but I shave pretty close so I can’t say anything with regards to hair.  Be careful not to yank those tiny hairs out.  

With everything seated and in position I fired it up. The second ring of the cock cage out on my shaft really helped to keep me hard.  She even happily noticed that it actually made my cock larger. 

Now, cock rings won’t give you an extra three inches or turn you into the Hulk, but it does make your cock more engorged with blood so it IS bigger and your hard on is much harder.   I love the feeling of the vibes on my cock and balls.  

We have used rings with clit vibrators on them before, but this cock cage really “shakes things up”!  On to the test.  I love my job.  
I slid into my eager wife and got a moan out of her.  She was into it.  The vibes were still strong, although the toy did somewhat dampen the strength.  She loves the feel of this on her clit as I rode in and out.  

She has said before that the shape of some rings can be painful if thrusting is too hard, but this one felt nice and soft.  The thumb shaped clit vibrator was a hit with her.   She didn’t notice the internal vibration so much, but said it was because the other vibe was so strong.  I could feel it rocking on my cock, though.  

After a few minutes, she wanted to roll over and be on top so she could “hit the spot just right”. Yeah, baby!   She then proceeded to grind away on me and work it to the just right spot.  She really liked it.  It didn’t make her come as quickly as her favorite vibe, but was still very good.  She said the vibration was more of a high, buzzy vibration than a lower pitched rumbly vibration, and she really liked the pulsating setting.  She gave it a seven out of ten.  She has a “clit o’ steel”, so that says a lot!  

I loved the vibration and when I came it was very strong.  The tightness of the ring helped to intensify my orgasm.  I seemed to come and come and come.  This is why I love cock rings and cock cages. 

The toy came with a sample of Pipedream’s lube, called Moist, and a sample of toy cleaner.  The lube was very, very good.  It was long lasting and slick.  It was a water based lube.  Only water based lubes should be used with silicone toys, forget silicone lube or hybrids.  Sometimes they are ok; sometimes they will melt your toy.  Ain’t nobody got time for that!  

Cleanup of the toy was a breeze.  Since it is waterproof, you can run warm water and lots of good soap over it right in the sink without worrying about hurting it.  We didn’t try out the toy cleaner on this occasion.

cock cage sex toysIf you have never tried a cock ring or cock cage, but are curious, this toy would be a great place to start.  It’s reasonably priced at LoveWorks Adult Stores, made of safe material, is easy to use, and works like a champ.  Your woman will love this.  

If you’re like me and you have experience with these toys, you will not be disappointed with this one.  It is powerful enough and has enough squeeze and tightness to really satisfy.  

This type of ring with stretchy material is very safe to use.  If worse came to worse and you panicked somehow, you could easily cut it off.  No embarrassing trip to the emergency room to cut a steel ring off of your endangered dick.  

In this age of lawyers and lawsuits Pipedream does list some warnings on the back of the box.  They caution users that, “Prolonged and frequent use of penis enhancing devices may cause ruptured blood vessels, hemorrhage, and hematoma formation.  

These devices can also aggravate existing medical conditions such as Peyronie’s disease (I had to look that one up – it is an unnaturally bent penis due to scar tissue formation – ed.), priapism and urethral stricture. Penis enhancing devices should always be used with discretion.”  

That’s some scary stuff!  But relax, unless you have one of these medical conditions, this toy is going to be very safe to use if you are sensible about it.  If it hurts, take it off.  If your dick turns blue or gets cold, fer cryin’ out loud, take it off!  Don’t wear it for six hours; 30 minutes or less is usually recommended.  

And don’t do anything to the cock cage to make it tighter.  You wouldn’t twist rubber bands around your cock until it screamed, would you?  Be safe, be smart, follow directions and use a little common sense and the Ultimate Couples Cock Cage will keep you and her smiling for years to come.

Je Joue Mimi Is A Great First Vibrator

king cock dildoThere may be more different kinds of vibrators than any other type of adult toy.  There are dozens of different types and probably thousands of different variations and sizes of each type.  For women, for men, for couples – wands, rabbits, bullets, egg, g-spot, anal, cock shaped, rings, big ones, small ones, battery, plug in, rechargeable and now, the Je Joue Mimi – the list is almost endless.

Any peek in an adult sore, such as LoveWorks Adult Stores, or any online search will easily lead you to thousands of different shapes, sizes, strengths, colors and designs.  Why are there so many kinds of these available?  Because they work!  They work like crazy!  People love ‘em!

This explosion of variety is a relatively modern phenomenon.  Around the late 1960s about all you could get was your standard, ivory colored, hard plastic “massager”.  Add a couple of batteries and it did its job pretty well.  That was all that was needed then, I guess, because in the famous sex survey by Shere Hite (the Hite Report) in 1976, it was reported that only one percent of respondents had ever used a vibrator!

By comparison, in a 2006 Elle/MSNBC survey it was reported that 40% of people surveyed had used a vibrator.  They’re the happier 40% of society.  One more interesting, though slightly suspicious, survey result:  according to the Xandria Collection’s “Toys in the Sheets” survey, the most common vibrator user was a white Christian married woman, in her thirties, who votes Republican.  Hmm…ok, maybe.

Regardless, as sexuality and masturbation and play have become more acceptable, people wanted, no DEMANDED, variety and quality from their sex toys.  That’s not to say that a $12 vibrator can’t do the job, but there is so much more today to choose from.

How can a person ever decide – short of buying 30 vibes?  That’s where reviews just like this one come into play.  We’ve already purchased dozens of different vibrators and can help guide you in choosing!  You’re welcome.   So, even if you are a person of color, in your fifties, who voted Democrat, you’re very much invited in to discover about these toys!!  Enough gab, let me tell you about the toy.

Je joue mimiJe Joue Mimi Clitoral Vibrator

Today we will be looking at the Je Joue Mimi clitoral vibrator.  Je Joue means “I play” in French and it is a very well known name in luxury/ high end sex toys.  Now, I am a conscientiously frugal person.  My wife says cheap.  Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind paying for quality – whether it is a restaurant, or clothes, or even sex toys.  Having said that, I will not waste money on junk.  The Je Joue Mimi is an example of an item that is worthy of the title “luxury”.  Even though this toy’s price may seem a little steep, I can assure you it is worth every nickel.  Everything about this toy is luxurious.

The Je Joue Mimi comes shrink wrapped in an elegant box, about the size of an old recipe card file.  Remember those?  If you don’t remember, it is about 5.5 x 4 x 3 inches.  I like the shrink wrap because you are certain that your toy is brand new from the factory and hasn’t been monkeyed with.

Once the shrink wrap is off you get the first surprise – the feel of the box.  This is hard to describe, but the je joue mimi vibratortexture of the box is, well, silky and smooth.  It doesn’t feel like paper.  The texture of the box hints at great things to come.

Inside the box is – another box.  It’s like the Russian nesting dolls.  Inside this box the toy comes nestled in a plastic tray along with the charging cord, instructions, and a Je Joue catalog.  This would make a wonderful gift, packaged the way it is.  After I opened it I packed it all up again to let my wife open it.  She was very pleased with it, and when she picked up the toy itself she broke out in a huge grin and squealed “ooooooo”!

je joue mimiThe Je Joue Mimi is an amazing toy.  I don’t say this lightly.  I have owned/reviewed/used/bought dozens and dozens of different vibrators and can testify to the fact that this toy is AMAZING!  The squeal of joy from my wife came from both the texture and weight of the toy.

The Je Joue Mimi is covered with a layer of body safe silicone.  It is smooth, silky, and really has a great feel in your hand.  It is different from other silicone toys we have used.  It is smoother and more velvety and less “grabby” than some other silicones.

I love silicone as a toy material, but most toys made from silicone can be a little “grabby” on skin without some lube.  The silicone on the Mimi is different.  It seems to glide across dry skin like a whisper, like a gentle breeze, like a smooth silk scarf across a lover’s thigh.  It has a really pleasant, sensuous feel to it.

The toy also has a wonderful heft to it.  It weighs around 65 grams, or about 2 ¼ ounces.  This gives the Je mimi je joue vibratorsJoue Mimi a good feeling in the hand – not too heavy, not too light – just right for you, Goldilocks!  The Mimi is shaped like a smooth worn stone you might pick up at the beach.  In your hand it feels comfortable and familiar.

Je Joue really knew what they were doing when they designed this toy.  It is about 3 ¼ inches long by almost 2 inches at its widest, by about an inch thick.  It REALLY feels good in your hand, like it was made to be held.   We have the black model, but it is available in lilac, fuchsia, and purple also.  The silicone coating makes this vibe completely waterproof.  Go ahead; use it in the shower, tub, pool, lake – wherever you like!

Another great feature of this vibrator is that it is rechargeable.  No batteries ever.  Yay.  The charger is magnetic and attaches to the end of the toy.  It will only stick on one way, so there is no chance to put it on backwards and fry your new toy.  The charger can plug into any USB port to charge.  While I was a little bothered at first that it didn’t come with the part you plug into the wall, I realized that this meant that you could use any charger for this, whether it’s from a phone or laptop or tablet, instead of just the charger that comes with some toys.  Who doesn’t have a ton of these chargers hanging around these days?

When you put the charger on the toy a red LED will start to blink showing that it is charging.  When the light stays lit, it is fully charged.  You get two hours of use from a full two hour charge.

mimi vibe je joueThe controls on the Je Joue Mimi are very simple.  As you can see in the photo there are three buttons:  +, -, and ~.  To turn it on just press and hold the plus button.  This will also increase the power with each press.  Holding it down will not increase it, you need to repeatedly press the button.   The minus button will decrease the power and eventually turn the vibrator off.

There are five different levels of strength.  My wife, who likes a good strong vibrator, usually only goes to the second highest setting.  The middle button is the one that can switch between the different vibration patterns.  There are seven different patterns of vibration.   The Je Joue Mimi always turns on with the lowest vibration setting and the first pattern, which is steady vibration.

My wife loves the strength, feel, size and shape of this toy.  She is very particular about her toys and gives this one nine stars!  That is UNHEARD of from her.  Why not ten stars?  The only drawback to this toy is that the buttons are kinda difficult to operate.  You have to press them very firmly and they are small buttons.  In the heat of use it is not very easy to switch vibration levels or patterns.  Maybe as she uses it more, she will become more familiar with it, but for now she has to take it off her pussy and look at it to see the buttons, and this can be somewhat distracting.

It has all the power you would probably ever need (power Queens take note!), and the vibrations are the low, powerful, rumbly type that really move your groove.

A “buzzy” vibe really doesn’t do it for her – she LOVES the low strong vibrations of this toy.  Her previous favorite was the We-Vibe Tango, for those heavy vibes, but the hard plastic of the Tango cannot compete with the smooth feeling of the Je Joue Mimi.  The Mimi is the new reigning champion.  In fact, when I took the Mimi to have handy as I wrote the review she became very protective of it and wanted to make sure that nothing would happen to it!  I hope I’m not out of a job.  Let my wife describe it to you in her own words:

“Shape and size….love it.   I like that I can use it flat for more coverage or the tip or sides for more direct contact.   It fits perfectly in the palm of your hand.   If your hands have lube on them and are slippery, it is still easy to control.

Covering…love it. Soft and silky. Very soothing. No rough edges of any kind. I like to just roll it around in my hand. It reminds me of your cock…soft, velvety, and hard all at the same time.

Controls…yuck.  Hard to use.  Buttons are hard to push. Have to take it away and look at it to switch speeds. Not easy.  I like that you can charge it and that it’s waterproof. Easy cleanup.  No need to worry about batteries.

Speeds and settings….nice speeds, slow/ med/ fast vibrations and different pulses. Really like the variety.  Overall I would give it a 9. The controls take away the perfection of it.

Comparison…I like both, (Ed. Note – comparing the Mimi to the Tango) but like this one better. The size is similar…small…which I like, but the shape is totally different. I prefer the wider body so it can cover more area.  I like the texture; it’s softer where the other one is plastic and hard. They both had multiple speeds and pulses and they both charged the same way by USB, but this one is easier to attach to the charger and doesn’t fall off. The other one you had to finagle a little bit until it connected.

So overall, the shape and feel is what puts the Je Joue Mimi over the other one. “   There you have it – from a satisfied user and confirmed “clit o’ steel” woman!

This vibe is easy and fun for her to use.  She loves to masturbate with the Mimi.  She especially likes to rub her clit with the broad side of the toy.  She prefers this to more pinpoint stimulation.  Although, by using the end of the toy you can get pinpoint vibration also.  If you can use this toy as a pinpoint vibe at its strongest settings, my hat is off to you! You go girl! It really is that powerful.

I notice she is touching herself with it a lot more than she would ordinarily just play with her pussy.  Good for her.   We have also used this together as a couple.  Last night I was playing with her pussy while she was on her knees.  I brought out the Mimi and started using it on her.  Wow!!  She took it from my hand and ordered me (!) to stuff my cock into her while she was using it.  That was a terrific turn-on for us both.  I could feel the vibrations in my tool and we both came within minutes.  Very, very good was our unanimous verdict!

The copy on the box states that the Je Joue Mimi is a perfect first vibrator and I would agree.  It has a non-threatening, friendly shape, is very quiet and discreet, it’s powerful for extra clitoral stimulation (you know who you are!), and you can take it anywhere.  You wouldn’t know what it was if you spied it on a desk or nightstand.

Cleanup is a breeze because of the waterproof feature and smooth silicone coating.  Soap and hot water are fine, as would any toy cleaner be ok.  Due to the silicone it is suggested to only use water based lubes, or saliva, or pussy juice – silicone lubes may react with your toy and spoil its smooth surface.

While this toy may be a little pricier, you do get what you pay for.  LoveWorks Adult store has these in stock and their prices are very competitive.  If you know you like a good, strong, rumbly vibe than this one will definitely fit the bill.

In the long run it is more cost effective than trying out three, four, or five $20 toys to find the one with the action you crave.  And don’t forget about the cost of batteries over a year.  If you are new to toys and are unsure about the Je Joue Mimi, give it a try.  With the different speeds and patterns, you will find settings that rock your world – I’m sure of it. Don’t be afraid to expand your orgasmic horizons.   Be one of those happy 40%!

The Je Joue Mimi is available here in BLACK and in FUCHSIA

Pegging – the Art of the Strapon

If you are reading this review, chances are that you already know what pegging refers to. For those who don’t a quick introduction is in order.  Once upon a time, many acts of love were considered “taboo”.  Oral sex, in the time of our grandparents, was considered a forbidden activity.  Something not to be spoken about by “nice” girls.  Certainly not by men.  It did occur, but it wasn’t talked about.  

Not too long ago a former U.S.  President claimed that oral sex doesn’t even count as sex!  Today references to oral sex are everywhere and have become commonplace.   Anal play has become a mainstream activity for couples during sex or during masturbation.  BDSM, fetishes, sex toys, masturbation, roll playing, and yes, "pegging" are now all very common and accepted sex acts. 

It seems that we are in an era where, literally, anything goes regarding people's love-lives.  Many subjects that were once “restricted” are now spoken about openly and frankly, with no shame or embarrassment.  

So we come to pegging.  Ten years ago, I did not know what pegging was.  Now, this has become so commonplace that the LoveWorks Adult Store has an entire product section devoted solely to pegging. 

In a nut shell, pegging is the act of using your favorite dildo along with a harness (stay with me!) to penetrate your partner, either anally or vaginally, perhaps orally.  I think the ladies are way ahead of men on this one, but either sex can wear a dildo and harness to use with their partner. sexual pegging

[EDITOR:  Some other helpful definitions:  From "Wikipedia" — "Pegging is a sexual practice in which a woman performs anal sex on a man by penetrating the man's anus with a strap-on dildo."  And from Urban Dictionary, "Pegging is not a gay thing whatsoever. No matter how you take it apart and put it back together, it is still sex between a man and a woman."]

Strap on pegging is as intimate an act as you can get.  Being penetrated by your lover demands a high level of trust and comfort, no matter what the gender.  The feeling of giving yourself to your partner, or the feeling of your lover “taking” you is very personal and very exciting.   If this is new to you, some additional research on pegging may be in order.  Go Google this if you want, I’ll wait…

Back so soon?  Ok then!  What do you need for pegging strap on play?  The elements are simple. 

Once you and your partner(s) have decided that this is something you would like to try, it is only a matter of choosing a favorite dildo and acquiring a harness to wear to hold the toy. 

Sexual play with a dildo or vibrator can be very pleasurable, but having to bend over or lie down and being fucked by your partner brings anal (or vaginal or oral) play to a whole new level.  Being ready for this, and having a favorite dildo or vibrator, how does one choose a harness to use? learning to peg

The choices are myriad and confusing.  The prices go from very inexpensive to kinda costly.  As in all areas of life, you get what you pay for, nothing more and nothing less.  We have today for your consideration the Sportsheets Red Lace Corsette Strap-On. 

Sportsheets is a manufacturer of bedroom toys who I trust and admire.  I have used their products previously and have found them to be of superior quality and affordability and they perform exactly as they are advertised.  Let’s see if this item lives up to their reputation.best pegging harness by sportsheets

The Red Lace Corsette Strap-On harness by Sportsheets comes in a sturdy display box.  On the front, it has a very appealing picture of a lady whose bottom is framed by the harness.  The pictures clearly show the “corsette” style lacing on the back of the harness and the ring assembly on the front of the garment.    The harness is included, along with three different size rings to accommodate different size dildos or vibrators. 

The box itself would make an adequate storage container, but I think a small silk or linen or another cloth bag would better hold this.  It’s a little sexier, I think, kept in a fine drawstring sack. 

The ad copy on the box lists some of the features of this item; plush fabric, lace up corset style back (very hot!), adjustable to fit up to 60” hips, three rubber rings – 1.5”, 1.75” and 2” and that the garment is machine washable.  Probably gentle cycle! 

They also have a complete list of the materials that go into the manufacture of the pegging harness.  This is very important for people with allergies.  The listed components are:  Polyester, polypropylene, urethane foam, ABS plastic, nylon, kryptonite (just seeing if you’re paying attention!), nitrile, aluminum, brass, nickel free metal, and elastic (?).  Nothing in here that wouldn’t be found in most corset type garments.  

The Sportsheets Limited Lifetime Warranty is printed on the bottom of the box – if it shows up defective they will replace it. Normal wear and tear is not covered.  You do need your original receipt and purchase info, but that is about it.  It’s that simple.  The box also states that this article is made in the USA.    

The pegging harness itself is carefully made and a very sexy looking garment.  The red lace is very attractive and frames the wearer’s bottom beautifully.  My wife looks so sexy in this!  I get excited just writing about it. 

It is well made with tight, neat stitching and only a couple of dangly thread ends.  I really had to look for those. pegging harness retaining ring The fabrics are very soft, not scratchy or abrasive. 

The front part that holds the dildo and the panels in the back have a layer of foam padding inside for comfort.  There are also two red lace sleeves that slide along the waist straps to ease any pressure points on your hips. 

The ribbon in the back that laces up the two panels is really hot!!  This is what gives it the corset look.  This ribbon can be made tighter or loosened, depending on how you want your corset to look.  The straps are fully adjustable through the plastic buckle slides.  They can be very easily tightened or loosened. 

This pegging harness is a mid price item, but it has a lot of value.  We have other (way more expensive) harnesses that aren’t as comfortable as this to use and don’t support as wide a range of toy diameters. 

Straight out of the box it did take a few minutes to set this up.  The straps that hold the ring needed to be unsnapped and turned around to properly support the ring without any twisting in the strap.  Other than that it was ready to go. 

Red corsette pegging harness fits wellBecause the harness will accept a large range of hip sizes (up to 60”), by necessity the waist and leg straps are long.  If you are more petite you may want to trim the length of these.  My model (my lovely wife!), is in the middle size range and we didn’t think the extra strap length was an annoyance or detracts from the function of the harness.  It only took several minutes to adjust the straps to give the fit she needed. 

Once on and properly adjusted my wife immediately commented on how comfortable it was to wear.  Between the padding and the sliding sleeves, it was a very nice fit and feel for her.  She has had some soreness from using other pegging harnesses due to the lack of padding on the front.  If you really get into hammering your partner, you will appreciate this. 

I can’t say enough about how great this looked on my wife.  Just as a sexy garment it was really attractive.  Far more so than with a plain harness.  The ring on the front holds the dildo in place and switching out toys is aspegging dildo retaining rings simple as sliding the dildo out the back and slipping in a different choice.  With the included rings in three different sizes, this harness can handle a wide range of toy sizes. 

Changing rings is simple also – just undo the four snaps, put in the new ring, and snap ‘em back up.  The harness also features a place to slip in a mini vibrator – just in back of and slightly above where the dildo rides.  Right where your throbbing little clit would be.  Well, if you have one, I guess.  You get the idea. 

You would want a strong vibe if you used this feature because I am sure the harness material would dampen the vibrations.  May I suggest the We Vibe Tango, available from LoveWorks Adult stores.  This little guy packs a big, big, punch. 

pegging dildosWe used this harness with the three toys pictured.  While all three have different size bases, the 1.75” ring was easily able to firmly hold each dildo in place.  Between the three ring sizes that are included, I would guess that this harness would hold 90% of flared base dildos or vibrators that you are likely to encounter. 

It looks like the snaps on the harness could hold a ring as large as 3” diameter!  Pegging size queens (and kings) take note.   Please also note that this harness DOES NOT come with any dildo.  You have to supply your own.   

I should point out that there are two main types of harnesses available – flared base compatible and Vac-U-Loc.  The dildos for these two types are not interchangeable with each other.  I don’t have any experience with Vac-U-Loc, so I can’t say as to which is better.  I’m sure both styles have their fans. 

It does seem that there are many more available dildos and vibrators with the flared base for O-ring compatible harnesses than the Vac-U-Loc toys, but that may be just my limited experience. 

As noted earlier, our lovely and willing model really enjoyed the look and feel of wearing this harness and having a “cock” to play with.  It made her feel sexy and improved her confidence.  This ease and comfort in wearing this harness translated into her being very comfortable using this AND going all out. 

What a ride I got!  Of course, with us using this as a harness to hold an anal toy lots of lube was required.  This did result in some lube getting onto the harness itself.  Not to worry, as this is 100% machine washable.   Delicate cycle and/or a small mesh bag to wash this would be a good idea and I would suggest letting it drip dry.   

We use water based lubes with washable harnesses as these lubes usually wash out easily and completely.  Silicone lubes may stain the harness.  Crisco, vegetable oil, WD-40 or wheel bearing grease are all DEFINITELY going to stain.  Don’t use any of those, silly; get yourself a good water based lube.   Your body will corsette pegging harness by sport sheetsthank you.

Final verdict?  Sportsheets does it again!  Another winner in their line of bedroom products.  Not only was the Red Lace Corsette Strap-On Pegging Harness well made and versatile, but it was sexy and attractive and easy to use.  My wife loved pounding my bottom!  Wow!  It was far more fun for my wife than other harnesses we have used and she really got into it. 

She loved how it felt wearing it and how hot it made her look.  This is now our “go to” pegging harness!

LoveWorks Adult Stores carries these, and while it is a little more expensive than the cheapest harness available, it certainly performs as well or better than harnesses costing far more.  This would be a great first purchase for the strap on newcomer as well as for an established pegger.  

This pegging harness comes highly recommended!

Our Best Lube – According To A Man! Fleshlube First

Lube – Love It, Live It, Use It!  Ok, so maybe you don’t NEED a lube.  Maybe your vagina is always drippy and primed, and your hand is good enough to do the job, or your butt has its own squirting function (!), but if you’re like a lot of people these conditions may not always exist.  For these times there is lube and it is important to know which is the best lube.

Recently my lovely wife and I have been in the market for a new “best lube”.  Our previous favorite is no longer sold in the US, I’m not sure why, so we are shopping around.  When I suggested a review to find the best lube in the store at LoveWorks Adult Store, they didn’t think it was a good idea.  “Writing 1000 words on one lube can get boring.” they said, so they sent me FOUR different lubes to use, test, and review – and hopefully declare one of them as the best lube of the group. Good for me, good for you, and good for LoveWorks when you guys buy a ton of these!

In order to thoroughly trial these products I will use them variously for masturbation, sexual intercourse, anal toys, and anal intercourse.  I have the best job in the world.  To get this review completed in a timely manner I won’t be using every test on every product, but I will use each product enough times to be able to accurately evaluate it.  Enough chit chat – let’s get down to it.

The Best Lube! Glorious Lube!

The four products I will be looking at are (in no particular order):

Part 1:  Fleshlube (this post)

Part 2:  Fuck Water Lube

Part 3:  Swiss Navy All Natural

Part 4:  Gun Oil Silicone

Fleshlube Water

Fleshlube Water came to me in a 4 fl. oz. bottle.  This is a good size to try out a new lube. I know, the 5 gallon pail works out to cost less, but if you don’t like it… The lube comes in an attractive bottle with a clean look.  This is not discreet packaging, so if you need to keep things on the down low, stash this somewhere.  The bottle has a small press top dispenser that is easy to use and keeps the bottle from getting messy.

There is also an easily removable seal under the cap, so you know it hasn’t been tampered with.  The packaging states that this is “Made in the USA for Fleshlight”.  A quick look at the list of ingredients shows this:

  • Water – We all know this one!
  • Propylene glycol – Widely used in cosmetics, foods and drugs.  Slows the loss of water.
  • Glycerin –Skin protectant, attracts water.  Available naturally or can be manufactured.  Very slippery.
  • Tocopheryl Acetate – Vitamin E, usually from vegetable oils.  Useful as skin conditioning agents and antioxidants.
  • Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice – Aloe juice, another familiar name.  Good for your skin, slippery!
  • Cellulose Gum – Gelatinous plant substance.  Helps lube do its stuff.
  • Hydroxyethylcellulose – Same as above.
  • Tetrasodium EDTA – Used to maintain clarity of product (who wants cloudy lube – ew), preservative.
  • Citric Acid – Preservative and pH adjuster.
  • Potassium Sorbate – Preservative.
  • Sodium Benzoate – Preservative.

So, all in all, that is a pretty good ingredient list.  All commonly used cosmetic stuff tested to be effective and safe.  If you are bothered or allergic to any of these things then use something else.  Throw away your shampoo, soap, and toothpaste too!

What does this jumble of funny named substances look like out of the bottle?  I’m glad you asked!  Fleshlube Water has a great consistency; about the same as mineral oil.  Not too runny, but nowhere near as stiff as a gel either.  It was very smooth and the consistency was, well, very consistent.  How is that for a circular definition?  My high school English teacher would have hated that sentence!

Some lubes can have weird textures that can vary, or be ropy or “junky”, but this was all good.  It has a very pleasant, light, floral scent and a sweetish taste (according to my wife!).

This lube performed like a champion.  It stayed very slick for a very long time with no drying out.  I got an incredible hand job from my wife with this!! No stopping to reapply – just pure jacking pleasure.   Didn’t I tell you I have the best job?

I used it with a big pink anal dildo that I like and it did a great job keeping everything slick, easy and pain free.  Even here, when additional lube might be needed to keep things moving, the Fleshlube did the job with one application and my big, pink silicone dildo worked just fine.  I’m getting an erection thinking about it as I sit here and write.  Excuse me for five; no make that ten, minutes.

This water based lube is safe for all kinds of sex toy materials – jellies, silicone, PVC, etc. – whatever you’ve got.  Cleanup was a breeze, just warm water and it was very easy to clean off of toys and skin.  I was pleasantly surprised by this product, I thought that they were just trading on the Fleshlight name to sell lubes, but their reputation is on the line and it REALLY delivers.  This was one of the best lube I tried and I think this will be one that we continue to purchase.

BUY FLESHLUBE NOW

Ok, don’t give up now — there are three more reviews that are part of my search for the best lube!

Part 2:  Fuck Water Lube

Part 3:  Swiss Navy All Natural

Part 4:  Gun Oil Silicone

SPOILER ALERT!  Don’t read this section if you haven’t read the other reviews!

Well, there you have it, thank you for letting me share our thoughts and experiences with these lubes.  What is the bottom line?  Out of these products we like the Fleshlube Water the best of the water based lubes for its long lasting performance; with the Swiss Navy all natural water based lubricant a close second.

If you have never tried a silicone based lube I would recommend that you do, you won’t be sorry, and the Gun Oil silicone is an excellent choice.  All these lubes caution you to discontinue use if any irritation or discomfort is noticed.  Smart advice.  If you are sensitive, maybe try a bit on some part of you first to see your reaction.  Beyond that all I can say is, “Lube up and dive in!”

Is Fuck Water Lube The Best Lubricant?

The next product we tried on our search for the best lubricant, was Fuck Water Lube.  What a great name!  Fuck Water lube came in a 4.05 (?) fl. oz bottle.  The bottle is definitely eye catching and has attractive labeling.  My wife didn’t agree, but I like the up-front-ness about it.  Made in Canada by Non-Friction Products.

Like the previous bottle of lube, fuck water had a press-top dispenser with an inner safety seal.  I like to know that no maniac has tampered with my lubricant.  Imagine switching it for crazy glue?   Yikes!!  Again, you will not be able to pass off Fuck Water lube as anything but what it is, so keep it away from where your teenage daughter’s friends could see it.  Or her for that matter!  The lube itself looked just like a load of jizz – talk about putting the cart before the horse.

FUCK WATER LUBE OR MADE BY MIKE??

is fuck water lube the best lubricant

The fuck water lube was a good consistency, a little more runny than the previous, but sufficiently thick for a lube.  It had almost no smell and little to no taste.  My wife is the one who tastes these lubes.  She can be a little wacky sometimes.

The copy on the bottle says, “When spit and courage aren’t enough!”  This is hilarious – I love their sense of humor.  The bottle also claims it is non-staining, but I couldn’t try it on her new blouse.  Go figure.

For you freaks, like me, who are label nuts and like the ingredient list, here we go:

  • Water – Duh.
  • Propylene Glycol –Just like the previous.
  • Isopropyl Palmitate – Lubricant, binder.
  • Dimethicone – Also called polydimethylsiloxane, silicone based oily stuff.  More about this.
  • Hydroxypropylcellulose – Plant gum.     Yikes, these have scary names.
  • Polysorbate 20 – Surfactant, like a soap.
  • Sorbitan Stearate – Emulsifier, helps mix in the silicone stuff.
  • Cetearyl Alcohol – Helps keep said emulsion from separating.  More about this later.
  • Glyceryl Stearate –Oily, waxy ingredient.
  • Sodium Benzoate – Preservative.
  • Gluconolactone – Chelating agent that binds heavy metals.  Slippery compound from plant gums.

So, this list has some very strange things going on that might keep it from being on my best lubricant search.  The addition of a silicone compound typically would make this a “hybrid” lube, rather than water based.  It really isn’t a water based lube.  It kinda is – not.

So it has a couple of other things in it (emulsifiers) to mix the silicones and watery stuff.  The main question you may be asking right about here is, “Who the f*** cares about this stuff, Mike?”  Fair enough.  Lots of people are sensitive to certain ingredients and this gives them that info before they order a bottle then find out that they’re allergic to the prickly pear extract that wasn’t mentioned in the ad copy.

Also, it lets you readers know when certain “facts” are mis-represented or mis-stated by manufacturers.  Certain manufacturers, present company excluded, do not have stellar reputations for being completely honest.  I’m sure the hybrid nature of this lube wasn’t mentioned because– no, you know what, I don’t know why they didn’t say it; it doesn’t matter.  They didn’t say it.  If you had an allergy to silicone and bought this “water based lube” you might be in for an unpleasant surprise.  That’s why I do exhaustive research into ingredients and their uses.  And to show you how smart I am. 🙂

I really, really wanted to like this lube, as I had already added it to my best lubricant short-list of contenders. Great name, good ad copy on the bottle, cool jizzy looks (see photo) – I had high hopes and expectations for fuck water.

Alas, Fuck Water was only a pretty face.  Much to my disappointment this lube dried out very quickly and needed very frequent reapplication.  After only two or three minutes.  Stop. Reapply. Go. Stop. Reapply. Go. Repeat.  It was frustrating, and at times, uncomfortable and bordering on painful.

It happens fast!  You’re going along, got your groove working – all of a sudden – screeeeeeech!!  Crashing halt.  And don’t even THINK about butt toys with this one. Uncomfortable in other situations means torn mucous membranes in this case.

Speaking of toys, a water based lube should be safe with any and all toy materials.  Silicone toys should only be used with water based lubes (except when it’s ok to use them with silicone lubes, but that’s a subject for another day).  I’m not sure about hybrids with silicone toys.  I have some very nice, fairly expensive silicone toys and I wouldn’t risk any to try with this.  If it turns your toy to goo don’t say I didn’t warn ya!

All in all we would not purchase this – it is not even close to being a “best lubricant”.  There are too many other better lubricants on the market like the Swiss Navy and the Gun Oil that I wrote about after this.  Best lubricant?  No Way.

Bad Boys Strokers – Make Your Knees Buckle!

Who doesn’t love strokers?  Wait, what do you mean, “What are strokers?”  Strokers are a treat for your dick!  A stroker is essentially a tube you put your cock into to help jerk off.  Sounds great doesn’t it?  It’s like a hand job on steroids.  Who doesn’t love hand jobs?   

Strokers are usually textured inside to feel like a hot pussy. There are some very expensive toys out there made for like this, but strokers are usually very reasonably priced.  They are typically a soft, jelly-like, rubbery material that you lube up and stroke with!  These are a lot of fun.  I have had some very nice inexpensive strokers and some not so nice strokers.  

Let’s check this one out – this is from the Bad Boy Buddies Collection of strokers that is available in LoveWorks collection of sex toys.  This item is called the Body Vagina.  We’ll find out if it’s good, bad or ugly!

The Bad Boy Buddy Body Vagina (three times fast – say it!) comes in a small, brightly colored box, with a picture of a woman on it.  It looks like Jaclyn Smith.  Remember her from the original Charlie’s Angels TV show?  I’m pretty sure it’s not her.  It could be.  Jaclyn, if you are reading this and it IS you, drop me a line – we need to talk.  

The box says the toy has an “ULTRA Springy Succulent Feeling”.  We’ll see about that! It has the reassuring message that the stroker meets regulations designed to make sure that toys sold inbad boys stroker body vagina sex toy review Europe and elsewhere do not have large amounts of toxins, such as heavy metals, that can leach out.  Good to know about something I’m going to wrap around my cock.  

It also states that it contains no phthalates.  These are terribly dangerous chemicals that can make your dick actually explode!  It’s true; I read it on the internet.  Ok, maybe that’s not true, but those types of additives are bad for you nonetheless.  Fortunately the Body Vagina is a safe toy.  The toy comes inside the box nestled in a two part plastic shell and further wrapped in a sealed plastic bag.  

Like I said, strokers are meant to be used to masturbate with.  They can be used solo or you can have your partner use it on you.  This can be just for foreplay or going for the “happy ending”.  I like these in the shower for quick and easy cleanup.  Most of them are pocket size, so they go with you wherever you go.   The Bad Boy Buddies are made from stretchy TPR, thermoplastic rubber.  TPR takes the best attributes of plastics and rubbers; the durability of plastic with the stretch and give of rubber.  This makes the toy feel very squishy in your hand.  Interestingly enough, the toy feels kind of sticky as you hold it in your hand and the tackiness allows you to get a very good grip on it.  It doesn’t leave any kind of stickiness on your hand, though.  

Pretty amazing! The TPR does have a fairly strong petrochemical smell to it.  This is one aspect of these types of toys that I have found to be very common.  They all seem to have a weird smell to them.  It can be very strong at first and this will fade over time, but I could see how it would be a deal breaker for some people.  Even after several washings the smell remained.  Not that it would fill a room with toxic gas and you could smell it from six feet away, but if you hold it up to your nose you can smell it.  

TPR toys should be used with water based lubes for the best results and to extend the life of the toy.  Oil based lubes (ew!) will degrade the material rapidly and silicone lubes may react with some kinds of TPR.  I didn’t want this to melt in a puddle around my balls, so I stuck with a water based lube.  LoveWorks sells many good types of lube and they have some great articles on their website with advice on what kinds to pick.  Check them out.

bad boys strokers body vagina sex toy reviewThe design of the Body Vagina is very unique.  As you can see from the photographs it is shaped like the torso of a woman.  A lot of strokers available are shaped to represent a vaginal opening or an anal opening or a mouth, but this one is different.  

I thought that the torso design might seem a little creepy at first, but as I handled it I found myself getting strangely aroused.  It is just a very friendly, very inviting little “sculpture”.  If you put “her” on all fours, her bottom juts up into the air and her pussy lips are spread wide and ready.

This really was very appealing and sexy to me.  I wouldn’t have expected it, but it was!  

The toy is about four inches long and roughly an inch and a half to two inches around.  The vagina of the stroker is a very tiny hole, about a quarter of an inch, which is ribbed and runs the length of the toy.   The Body Vagina is translucent, so I could see the ridged texture of the tunnel inside the toy.  My wife wondered how I would get my big tool into that little hole!  The beauty of the TPR is that it is very stretchy.  

Time to take her for a test ride.  This is my favorite part of the review experience!  I got a favorite bottle of water based lube and applied this liberally to my stiff dick.  I added a little more to the inside of the toy – you could see it run down the length of it.  I had to take two fingers to stretch the vagina open to get my shaft inside of it – it is VERY tight.  

I started working it up and down on my shaft, alternating long full strokes with shorter quick strokes.  The good grip the toy gives your hands keep it from popping off your cock and jumping out of your hand onto the floor.  Now listen, no one will confuse this for real pussy, but it did feel terrific on my cock!  

This toy wasn’t good, bad, OR ugly – it was f’ing super!  It was so tight and I could feel the ridged texture inside so well that I came really, really, quickly.  She sucked the load right out of me in record time!  I actually moaned out loud, it was so good.  Was it just me, or is this that good?  Well, like I said,

I have had strokers that weren’t so good, so I know the difference.  This one is worth the cash. It was easy and fun to use even as my knees were buckling from my orgasm.  I was standing up at the time using it – lol! 

Another sex toy reviewer wrote about one of the other bad boys strokers here.  See what he had to say!

Afterwards, cleaning up was simple.  I just ran the toy under hot water and turned it inside out to flush out all the lube and “stuff”.  I just keep this in the original box; maybe you would want to store it in a Ziploc bag to help keep it clean.You should always wash strokers before and after you use them.  

The box the toy comes in warns against keeping it with other toys due to a possible “chemical conflict between the two types of plastic”.  So, maybe she doesn’t play well with others. I’ve had girlfriends like that too.  

This is a very good jack off helper; I enjoyed using it very much!
 

Is this the perfect stroker?  

No.  It has one or two drawbacks.  

1) The first being the smell.  Most of these kinds of toys have that funny smell at first, so maybe that’s not too big a deal.  

2) The other concern is the length of the toy.  Four inches is on the short side, so if you are well endowed your dick will end up coming out the end of the toy.  It’s so tight that it is a good feeling going back in, but it can be a little distracting as you get used to working it on your tool.  I have had longer strokers, and for me personally I prefer the extra length in a toy like this.  

Even with the drawbacks, I would give this an eight out of ten “boners”!  LoveWorks Adult Stores has them for sale, they are reasonably priced, and it works very well.  What are you waiting for?
 

[EDITOR’S NOTE:  It is unfortunate that some toys have a smell.  But when you aren’t reviewing them, you usually don’t stick a stroker up to your nose to check for fragrance!  However, there is something else you can do.  We always suggest washing toys (YES, “new”, never-used toys) before using them.  After washing with mild soap-and-water, towel dry, and add baby-powder to the outside (these are the same instructions we give to buyers of our more expesive strokers, the fleshlight.  .  Mike, the sex toy reviewer, mentioned that the material was “tacky” allowing you to hold-on better.  That “tackyness” does go away if you wash and powder it the way I suggest, so you need to consider the choices.]

At last count, LoveWorks stocks over 723 different strokers of every style, design, material, angle, color and texture!  We guarantee you will find one to meet your needs.

Swiss Navy Lube: Best Sex Lube Or Not??

The next of the trials we performed to find the best sex lube was Swiss Navy Lube, an all natural water based lube.  Glycerin free, paraben free, made in the good ol’ US of A by MDScience.  The Swiss Navy lube has a very good reputation in the sex lube universe, and they have been around for a long time.  I know that The Old Guy at LoveWorks has a strong preference for Swiss Navy Lube as well!

The lube came in a 4 fl. oz. bottle with a pump top dispenser.  The labeling was clean and concise and presented the product very nicely.  Not nearly as in your face as “Fuck Water”; but still a very nice looking package.  I mean, remember we are looking for the best sex lube — not 10/40 motor oil!  If your sensibilities are easily offended there is nothing here that will do that.

This was a great container in that it has a pump on top instead of a press cap or flip top.  This made the lube very neat and easy to use.  I wish more sex lube manufacturers would use this type of pump dispenser.

I finally got the plastic off, but the pump wouldn’t pump!  Turns out (see second photo) that there is a tiny image embossed in the cap indicating you need to twist the top to open the bottle.  Here I am trying to find the best sex lube on the market, and I can't even open the bottle!  

When I finally got through all this (phew!) the Swiss Navy Lube bottle dispensed very nicely into my hand.  Not too much so that any was wasted, but little enough so that you would need two or three of four or…..however may squirts you wanted.  Maybe just one if you were going to use it to finger your clit.  You little devil, you! 

The bottle did not have an inner seal, so to get at the contents you could have just unscrewed the whole top.  Maybe not quite as secure as some of the ones with the seal.  There is almost no smell to Swiss Navy and just the faintest sweet taste*.  Neither was very pronounced.  The viscosity of this lube was very, very, nice.  A little thicker than some water based lubes. Around the same consistency as a thick maple syrup – without the stickiness.  Or sweetness.  Or trees.   Yay, Go Green.

The Swiss Navy all natural water based lubricant (they don’t use caps in their name – how humble!) claims to be, well, all natural.  The ingredient list bears this out.  Sometimes less is more.                                      

Swiss Navy lube contains:                                                                                                                                              

  • Deionized Water – Water with salts and minerals removed.
  • Propanediol – Vegetable derived.  Slows loss of water.
  • Xylitol – Sugar alcohol from primarily corn cobs or trees.  I was wrong, there are trees.                            
  • Gluconolactone – Chelating agent from plant gums.  Slippery.
  • Sodium Benzoate – Preservative.
  • Carrageenan – Viscosity increasing agent from seaweed.

That’s it.  All told.  A very neat little list of pretty safe ingredients.  All natural?  By most arguments, yes, this is an all natural product.  

When I finally got this bottle open it was time for the best part – how well does it work?  (I’ve been getting a lot of action during the writing of this review – thank you LoveWorks!).  And as a reminder, there are four parts to this review so make sure you read them all!

It works really well.  It feels great out of the bottle; slick, thick, wet and ready!  I'm not sure I would call it the best sex lube, but I would say it is pretty good.  I understand why The Old Guy likes it so much.

I had just given my wife an excellent oral orgasm (!) and she wanted to give me my turn.  Up on her knees, (I love it like that), she added a few pumps of Swiss Navy lube to my stiff rod, and in I went.  This lube really felt great when I was inside her.  Not too slick, not too thin, just right. (That almost sounds like a reference to Red Riding Hood!) 

One application lasted right up to my finish.  Not to brag, but I’m very long lasting, so that says a lot about this lube.

Overall, I suggest Swiss Navy Lube as a must-own.  It meets all the points that both guys and gals will want in a good quality water-based lube.

* = Editors Note:  The taste of the lube isn't bad; isn't offensive — but it isn't something you would want to intentionally taste.  It is not a flavored lube at all, but you won't go running to the bathroom if you do taste it.

Silicone Lube: Gun Oil – The Best Anal Lube

The last of the lubes, a vaginal and anal lube, was from Gun Oil, and was a silicone lube.  

This is another very well know name in adult sex lubes.  Made in the USA by Empowered Products.   Check out their webpage – it’s interesting.  The lube comes in different size bottles; this is the 2 fl. oz. bottle.  This one is a little different in that it is a silicone lube.

 

 


Silicone Lube:  What does that mean?  

Well, Gun Oil Silicone lube is non-water soluble for one, so if you like sex in the water or in the shower, this one will stay where you put it, instead of quickly washing away.  Silicone lube s are also hypoallergenic, meaning there are virtually no adverse reactions to skin or delicate tissues.  

Doctors use similar materials for implants in the human body.  They are really safe.  Having said that, this particular silicone lube also has a couple of non-silicone ingredients, so again, check your labels or helpful reviews when deciding on a purchase.  

The Gun Oil bottle is cool shaped, kinda reminiscent of a small artillery shell or large caliber gun round.  Get the theme?  It has a sealed top wrapper with printed instructions on how to open it.  (Are you paying attention Swiss Navy?)  Once the seal is broken the cap pops right off to reveal a press top dispenser.  There is an additional safety seal underneath the cap.  Kudos to Gun Oil for this – I know it hasn’t been messed with.  

And that is important, because no matter what you do or how careful you are, these bottles of silicone lube get messy on the outside, and cleaning them can be quite a feat.
 
In general, a silicone lube has no taste or smell, but will effectively (VERY effectively) coat whatever you put it on and render it very, very slippery — one of the best selling points for use as an anal lube.  That’s the point, right?  The consistency is like mineral oil – very much like that.  Ingredient lists in this silicone lube tend to be very uncomplicated:                                                                      

  • Cyclopentasiloxane – For smooth texture and even application.  Very slick. Silicone carrier that evaporates.                  
  • Dimethicone – Skin conditioner and protectant.  Again, very slippery.
  • Dimethiconal – Skin conditioner anti-foam.  You guessed it – really slippery!
  • (Many silicone based lubes contain only these three ingredients.  Gun oil adds a couple of others.)        
  • Tocopheryl Acetate – Vitamin E.  Good for your skin.
  • Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract – From the common aloe plant.   Slippery stuff and good for your skin.                

I have to admit that I am a big fan of silicone lube.  These are what I usually want to use and this one is no exception.  

These are latex condom safe (like all the water based lubes), but should not be used with porous toys or silicone toys.  No parabens, glycerin, or preservatives.  From hand jobs to vaginal intercourse to anal sex (I think silicone lube is the BEST to use as an anal lube!  Butt toys too!), silicone lubes are my favorite.  They stay slick, slick, slick and they last a long time.  A little goes a loooooong way.

As Madame Red says:

"Don't use very much otherwise it will be like throwing a hot dog down a long hall"

Another good article on lubes is here.

 

 

During sex, there is no need to re-apply Gun Oil Silicone Lube at all.  Hand jobs are awesome!  Toys, fingers, and cocks; whatever you got – will stay slippery.  Your favorite toys will feel better using this as your anal lube of choice.  Silicone lubes also make very nice massage oils.  I really love them.  

Silicone lubes do have several drawbacks, however.  They will stain some fabrics, so test a spot first or put down a towel or a bed tarp or something.  Cleanup requires copious amounts of soap and warm water.  

Silicone lubes are sometimes a little more inconvenient to use so we keep a water based lube on hand for backup when things happen fast.   They can be dangerously slippery if they get spilled on the floor.  Worse in the tub, so hang on!
