Inflatababe #4: Lil' Barbi

Months ago, a friend gave me a bunch of inflatable dolls for me to review for his sex store. I made all the reviews for his store, but I have not posted all of them here - so today I decided to share another one of these reviews with you. This one is about Nasstoys' Lil' Barbi Love Doll, a cute anime-inspired mini love doll with TPR vagina. Is it worth the $25 most stores charge for the mini inflatababe? Lets see...

Description

The Lil' Barbi is inspired on a generic pink-haired anime chick. You will find that most of the anime inflatable dolls sold in the US - Lil' Barbi, Serika, Kimmi, Neiko, and others - have a similar pink "hair" design. As a generic anime girl, Barbi has big breasts and an innocent-aroused look.
The Lil' Barbi distinguish itself from the other anime girls by two things: her TPR vagina with a noduled canal and her size of just 20 inches tall. She is made for travel and marketed more as a masturbator with a cute body than a love doll - in great part because of its size.


Review

The look of the Lil' Barbi is cool. She looks like an anime girl should look - cute face, big breasts with erect nipples, and nice curves. The TPR pussy looks inviting, although the doll feels weird when grabbing her. I felt as if I would break the little doll just if I grabbed it too hard because my hand could encircle the whole waist of the doll as if I had a beer can. It is way softer than a regular masturbator, so you don't know if pressing more could create leaks on the doll.

Lil' Barbi is cute, but her TPR pussy suffers from the typical problem I had found with most inserts used in inflatababes: the damned thing is too tight! I was able to penetrate the Lil' Barbi pussy, but it was uncomfortable because of the tightness. I have what you can call an average penis and still, when I penetrated the insert, I felt my penis was going to explode due to the tightness of the sleeve. In fact, I could not finish my business while using the Barbi, so as a love doll / masturbator combo, for me was useless.

Besides that, the doll is cute to look and the seams are not too rough, so you can enjoy this little girl (if you have a pencil thin penis).


Score 

Looks: 4/5 (Not bad looking.)
Realism: 2/5 (Barbi is proportionate, but 20 inches tall? She would be better if she was larger.) Fuckability: 2/5 (Very tight hole)
Durability: 5/5 (So far, still holding air)
Inflation / Deflation: 4/5 (Pretty easy to inflate and deflate)

Total:  17 / 25

Verdict: The Lil' Barbi is a cute little doll, but it did not do it for me. I can use her as part of a fantasy with fairies or if I ever have a Gulliver - type fantasy, but regular use is out of the question. It is more of a novelty item than a functional masturbator / love doll and Nasstoys should think of creating / selling "Big Barbi" with the same design but in life-size proportions to compete with the Serika. Only then the $25 will be a good investment.

Lil' Barbi ready for you...
She is cute...
But she is very small when compared with Serika

Casquetero's Day of the Apocalypse

December 21st came and went and no apocalypse or doomsday happened! Were the Maya wrong? Did they made a mistake? Were we trolled by an ancient Mesoamerican culture?

Something tells me we were trolled... That is the Aztec Calendar!


Trolled or not, your friendly neighbor The Casquetero had some plans for the end of the World. First of all it was my birthday, so I planned an epic party. If the world was going to end on MY DAY, then I would go with a bang!

So, last week I contacted my FWB and reminded her about the "special occasion". We agreed on meeting on the 21st after we got out of our jobs, go to a restaurant, and later, I would enjoy my birthday gift...
I know the cake is a lie, but where is the red ribbon?

Well, the Maya missed the date for the end of the world, but they did try to fuck up my evening. My birthday present got sick with the damn flu - so no celebration for Friday. She wanted to fulfill her destiny and be sacrificed to the gods, but I could see she was not feeling well. Instead of going out that night and ending the evening with some doomsday sex, we ended eating some Korean BBQ takeout in her apartment, cuddled together while watching a chick flick on TV, ending the visit when the flu medicine began to kick in. I was resigned to spend my birthday night  alone, at home, fucking one of the dolls in the harem, feeling pissed on how things had turned, so I went to the subway station to go back to my apartment.

But Kukulcan (the Maya serpent god ) had another plans for The Casquetero! Arriving to the subway station, I got a call on my cell from one of my pals. He was in a club a few stops away and he remembered it was my birthday, so he called me. Right away, I took the subway and got there to meet with my pal and two unknown Luchadoras that kept us drinking and partying as if the world was going to end that night...

Purple Mask was ready for action! YES!!!
The world did not end on Friday, because I opened my eyes on the 22nd in an unknown place littered with empty tequila and rum bottles and a naked Luchadora lying next to me. As a perfect gentleman, I got my shit and left without saying a word. I don't remember how I got home, but I surely survived the Apocalypse!

Bought to you by Patron, Don Q,  Bacardi, and Beyond Seven condoms.

RPP 3.0 #34: Devon's Vibrating Pussy and Ass (RPP #86)

I had never considered the various "realistic" pussies and asses sold by companies like Doc Johnson because of the UR3 material. The only toy I had of this material was the Sasha Grey pussy and although a decent toy, it did not blow my head. The material is firm, which I liked, but the damn fruity smell drove me out of UR3 toys. I simply ignored these toys until some of you kept asking about some of the pussy and asses available on the market. The insistence of readers like Robbie (and his regular messages about the Brianna Banks pussy and ass) got me interested in these toys, but still I felt weird spending $70 - $80 in a toy that would be smelly, difficult to use in bed, and difficult to store.

It was the Black Friday sale from Pink Cherry that helped me to pull the trigger. They had a bunch of these toys for less than $35, so I bought three of them. One of them (and the most expensive of the three) was the Devon's Vibrating Pussy and Ass toy from DocJohnson. Is it worth the $100 that some retailers ask for it? Lets go to the review to answer that question.
  
General Description

The Devon's Pussy and Ass is a realistic looking toy. It has full scale dimensions - 10" x 8" x 3" - and weights about 5 pounds. It was molded to present "Devon" to be on her back, exposing her vagina and asshole. They toy allows penetration in both vagina and anus, but the holes share the same main tunnel. The texture is mildly ridged, allowing for control during your sessions. The holes on both vagina and anus are pretty small, so expect some ripping.

The toy has a vibrating bullet already installed, which can be removed relatively easily. The vibrator is one of those cheap variable speed types, requiring 2 AAA batteries to work. I removed the vibrator after the first use to allow for easier cleaning and decided to use other bullets in the future.


Review
As said before, I am not a big fan of UR3 because of the damned fruity smell. Fortunately, the smell disappeared after the second use - as well as the bright pink color of the pussy lips. Besides those two annoying things, the Devon P&A looks and feels extremely realistic. One of the characteristics I liked right after unboxing was the raised mound of the toy. Those details really help you to get in the mood to use a big chunk of rubber as your lover...

Now, using this toy can be slightly difficult. First of all, forget about using this heavy P&A as a stroker. It is too big and too heavy to use while seating down on a chair in front of your computer. This toy was designed to be used as a hands-free device, so use it like that! You can place it on top of a table or cabinet and go to town while standing up or put on your bed and do it missionary style. The weight and the material allows the toy to stay in place even when you pump hard.

One major complaint is the size of the tunnels. If you are just a little bit longer than "normal", be prepared to see your little friend popping through the open end of the tunnel at the top of the toy. Also, when you cum, must of the cum will shoot right out of that hole, so have cleaning measures ready.

The toy can feel very realistic when you use a thick lube, so be prepared to enjoy this toy. The bullet vibrator included with the toy is pretty decent, but for me, it feel annoying to receive vibration from only one side of my penis. I replaced the vibe with a double bullet, placing the extra bullet into the main tunnel (solving the issue of cum shooting out of the toy), and the session was incredible! I also played with the bullet placement, placing one inside the toys anus and the other in the "exit" side of the tunnel. It felt pretty awesome!

Cleaning the toy is easy, but we aware of how you move the toy to the cleaning area - cum will ooze from the holes at the minor provocation. To clean, just flush the holes with running water, dry and powder before storing.

Tear and Wear: 4/5 
Hygiene: 5/5 
Maintenance: 5/5
Use: 3/5 

Value: Medium

Total score:  34 / 40

Verdict:
I bought this toy for just $32 on the Black Friday sales. If that was the regular price, I would say that it is a must have - feels realistic, you can pound it, and it is a hands free device. The problem is that this toy has a regular price of at least $55 (source: Amazon) with some vendors asking as much as $100 for it. At that price, I would prefer a more realistic toy or one easier to play with. Still, if you can get this rubber pussy for up to $65, it is a cool toy to play with.

FYI:
For this review, I used the lube from the Meiki 008 (very thick) and some Gun Oil H2O. All sessions were hands free, placing the toy on the bed. 

Next: Missionary and standing did not do it for me, but this toy gave me an idea... Add a realistic pussy with the best breast toy in the market (busty Ai-Chan)... Put that together somehow... Stay tuned during the holidays!

RPP 3.0 #33: VerSpanken Bumps (RPP #85)

I already reviewed the Wavy texture of the VerSpanken, so today I share with you my experience with another of the textures: Bumps.
 
General Description

As I mentioned on the review for the VerSpanken Wavy, this toy has a very simple design. In this case, I used the Bumps weiners: a pair of bright green pillows covered in small, rounded bumps. The texture seems to be more intense than the purple wavy texture, but still manageable.

 

Review
For this review, I used the VerSpanken Bumps (foam version). Like the Wavy, the toy is easy to use - lube the toy, lube your penis and enjoy.

I used this toy as a stroker while watching one of my favorite Asian porn movies and the sessions were amazing. The bumps are more noticeable than the wavy texture, teasing constantly. Like the Wavy, the Bumps gives you total control of the stimulation - close the clam shell to experience full tightness or open it to have an epic teasing session. Go slowly to build up your orgasm or go fast and blast a quickie - your choice.

Again, this toy is messy as hell. Lube and cum will fly and you should prepare for cleanup. Some people will definitively hate that, but it is a small price to pay for a good, powerful orgasm.

Verdict:
Like I said before, the VerSpanken is an interesting toy. It feels good and gives you total control of your session. Lube and cum will fly over the place, but still the cleanup will be totally worth it!


FYI:
For this review, I used Fleshlube Water and Honey Drops as the lubes. I did not have hands free sessions for this toy.

RPP 3.0 #32: VerSpanken Wavy (RPP #84)

One thing you discover when you collect hundreds of fake pussies and asses is that at some time, they begin to feel the same. The reality is that there are so many ways you can arrange bumps and ridges inside a silicone / gel / rubber tube until you start repeating yourself. Sometimes you want something different, something new. When I saw the VerSpanken line by Big Teaze Toys, I bought it right away. Simple to use, customizable, and easy to clean? Count me in!

General Description

The VerSpanken has a very simple design - a hard plastic clam with two detachable foam / rubber pillows that you lube and fuck. The product comes with the foam pillows in three different textures - wavy, bumpy, or smooth - each one with a different color. The textures by themselves are not that innovative, but the funny part is that you can exchange them to create your own combination of textures - smooth and wavy, bumpy and wavy, and so on. Say that you have the three styles of pillows (or wieners as they call them), then you have in theory six different toys thanks to the possible combinations. Not so bad, but the wieners are also available with a liquid fill. The Water Wieners have the same exterior textures, but the feeling is different and they can be heated or chilled - creating 66 different combinations! Add that you can use the toy as a stroker or hands free and this little toy promises a lot of good times.

Review
For this review, I used the VerSpanken Wavy (foam version). When you buy the VerSpanken, it comes with the selected texture in the foam version - the Water Wieners are sold separately.


Now, the toy is extremely simple to use - you lube your penis, lube the wieners and you are ready to go. Using it is when you have fun. As you will see on the multilingual instruction manual (as if you need an instruction manual!) , your imagination is the limit with this toy. You can use it as a stroker while watching porn, fix it on a surface or place it between the mattresses for some old-fashion  hands free fun. You can also have your partner use it on you, a very possible way to enjoy this toy because women will not feel intimidated, offended, or jealous by this toy because it really looks like a toy with all the bright purple.

If you are used to masturbation sleeves, this is going to be different. First of all, the VerSpanken is designed to feel tight, but you can modify the tightness by opening the clam shell and leaving it open or placing a rubber band on the open extreme. Second, you will feel the masturbator only in parts of your penis - just like when you use your hands. Depending on how you move the VerSpanken, you will feel slightly different sensations on your penis' head or shaft... and that is good for a guy who has lots of toys! The toy gives you total control over your session, allowing to build up powerful slow stroking orgasms or equally powerful quickies. The wavy texture is not too intense, but rubbing these ridges on your penis head feels like heaven.

Be advised: this toy is MESSY. First of all, it is an open ended toy and lube will go everywhere. Also, when you cum, guess what, you will be cumming everywhere too! Good thing it is really easy to clean - you can use regular soap and water to clean it - and you don't even need to take the wieners off.

Verdict:
The VerSpanken is an interesting toy. Simple, compact, and allows for creative uses either on your own or with your partner. It feels good during use and it basically allows you total control of your session. The major negative point of this toy is how messy it can be using it. Lube and cum will go all over the place, but still the cleanup will be totally worth it!


FYI:
For this review, I used Fleshlube Water and Honey Drops as the lubes. For the hands free sessions, I placed the VerSpanken between the legs of my custom heavy doll Monica.

Black Friday Wishlist...

Alright, alright, alright...

This is Thanksgiving's week, which means we will have the infamous Black Friday Deals (and the Cyber Monday Deals too!). Stores of all types and sizes are already advertising their "specials", and people wanting the newest LCD TV, Blue-Ray player, or PS3 are already making the lines to be the first one inside the big box store to buy THAT gift.

"I REALLY need to save $20 on that TV!"
 Personally, there is NO FUCKING WAY you will get me in one of those "special sales". First, my sanity is worth much more than the $20 or $30 I will save on the store. Second, my wishlist has nothing to do with TVs, video games, or sound systems. It has to do with sex toys - and those are not sold in Wal-Mart!

These are the toys I will be checking out in the vendors' Black Friday sales...

  1. Glans Licking Girl masturbator - this vibrator toy supposedly licks your dick head as a dedicated Japanese girl. Count me in!
  2. Aoi Himeno doll - I had always liked the shape of this doll, but I don't have the $$$ to spend on it. If Kanojo puts it on sale for $100 less, I could pull the trigger (I found a Eri Nanjo in NY for $25 about a year ago).
  3. HEPS Fantastic - An interesting toy to have... If its on sale, maybe I will add it to my collection.
  4. Verspanken toy - Looks simple, but fun enough with a bunch of customizable combinations. I already bought one (expected to arrive on Friday), but I will be checking out the sales for the water inserts!
  5. Fleshjack's Marvel - I know it is molded from a guy's ass, but the texture is cool enough to make me forget that little detail... I will just imagine I am nailing Kim Kardashian's ass.
  6. Fleshjack's Revel - Another guy's butt that I will be ripping while thinking of a famous female with a big ass... Sofia Vergara seems to be a perfect choice...
  7. Fleshlight's Tornado - Interesting texture for sure...
  8. Water Screw V - Come on, admit it... you had masturbated next to a pool's waterjet. It feels cool, so I would like to try this toy. A little bit expensive for a try, but at the right price, call me Aquaman!
That seems to be a lot, but hey, it is just a wishlist!

Answering another round of questions...

Well, I had been "free" the last two days thanks to Sandy and the mess she left in the NYC transportation system, so why not answering another round of questions from you guys? Lets go and kill some time!

Q: "Why you use company photos? Why don't you take your own photos? Can you have videos on your site?" by Various

I could take my own photos for the reviews and film video reviews - if I had the time. Unfortunately, I don't have time for that: I have a full time job, assist to graduate school, and I'm trying to keep something that resembles a social life, so I don't have a lot of free time. Both my job and my studies require me to work a few extra hours from home, so my free time is very, very short.

Normally, I test toys just before going to bed because I would masturbate at that time anyway to relieve stress and help me to sleep. I write my reviews during the weekend, often having one or two as drafts to publish later. If I had the time to take the photos or video, I would do it because I LOVE photography and video editing, but for now, I will keep taking the photos from our friends websites. Sorry guys! :(

Q: "Do you work for a sex toy store / seller?" - Various
NOPE! I don't work for any sex store or sex toy seller. I work for the New York City government in a regular 8-hour day shift, sometimes add two or three additional hours at home (without pay). My only relationship with sex toy sellers is that I use their products and write reviews about them. That's it!

Q: "Do you spend a lot of money on toys?" - Various
Way too much! In the past three years I have spent about $5,000 in toys (including the dolls, which are damn expensive). That is the equivalent of  about 715 beers I did not drink in the nearest bar or 385 cigarette packs I did not smoke. Well, I don't drink or smoke, so I buy sex toys!

The good thing is that in the past few months a few companies had contacted me to review their products, so they send toys for free. Part of the agreement is that I always write MY HONEST OPINION about their products on my blog. Some of them had stopped sending me products, others had continued sending them their stuff. That is cool, because they save me money and keep my only vice, which is masturbation!  

Q: "Why do you have dolls and toys if you have a girl?" - J.K.
Very simple: I like variety. I have a partner since a few months ago, but she doesn't live with me. In fact, we see each other about twice per month thanks to our careers. The toys help me to avoid making stupid decisions because I'm horny - and she totally understands that. So the toys are not a substitute for a girl - they are there to help me stay on check!

Q: "How do you pick the toys you review?" - Various
When the companies send me a toy, I have no choosing about it, but I decide which ones I review on my blog. Whether I buy them or  I receive them for free, these toys must be available in the US, they must catch my attention for some reason, and most importantly, they have to be designed for male use. Some companies had sent me dildos, vibrators, or other stuff designed for women. I use them on my girlfriend, give the review to the company and then my girl keeps them. So far her collection of toys has doubled since we are together... 

Q: "Which is the best masturbator?" - Various
The one that makes you cum and leave you happy.

In Puerto Rico we say that opinions are like belly buttons - everybody has one. Well, here we could say that opinions are like penises - we all have one. The toy that is my favorite could be total crap for you. If I say it is a meiki and you are a Fleshlight diehard, you are going to curse at me. If I say  it is a Fleshlight, then someone will say those are crap compared to Japanese toys. So since everybody has his own dick, follow its lead and find the best toy for YOU.

Well, that's all for today. Please remember to donate time, money, or things to the people that lost their homes during Sandy. Anything we do to help someone is good karma!

Hurricane Sandy

As you can guess by my nick, I'm located in NYC. We are just getting out of the effects of Hurricane Sandy, a.k.a. "Frankenstorm". That fucker damaged the city and the whole Tri-State area, breaking homes, schools, and churches all over the place.

I was one of the fortunate people that did not suffer any damage, but I urge you to cooperate - either by volunteering in your area or by sending monetary donations to trustworthy organizations.

Personally, I only trust in two organizations:

American Red Cross 

Salvation Army

Please, cooperate if you are able to help our friends who suffered the effects of this hurricane.

Thanks,

El Casque

RPP 3.0 #29: Meiki Hibiki Ootsuki (Meiki 008) (RPP #81)

When I saw the ads for the newest meiki from NPG, the Meiki Hibiki Ootsuki (also known as Meiki 008), I exclaimed "What?! Another meiki?!" The reality is that even when meikis are supposed to replicate the sensations you can get from a real-life vagina, they can't. After you use a few of these meikis, they begin to feel... the same. They are soft and pleasurable, but sometimes you cannot feel the difference between one generation or the other. Will Meiki 008 suffer from this syndrome? Lets see...
 
General Description

The Meiki 008 has an exterior very similar to the Chika Eiro - a boxy design with beautiful pussy lips and a tiny entry hole. In the interior, the similarities continue because the Hibiki is also a single layer masturbator. As you can expect from a meiki from NPG, the canal is realistic with a tight canal and a very soft and flexible material that hugs you without much pressure around your penis.  It has all the requisite sensations from most meikis: realistic textures replicating the vaginal muscles, bumps and mounds to replicate the organic pressure points, and of course, the infamous G-Spot. Right there is where the Hibiki separates from the rest.
Meiki Hibiki Ootsuki cross section (photo: QueenCatAdultToys)

When you look at the Hibiki's g-spot, you notice it is not the usual rounded bump or the O shaped structure you find in most realistic masturbators. In the Hibiki, the g-spot is more "squared", looking almost as a push button. Also, the g-spot has a cone-shaped stinger in its center. It sounds weird, but that little stinger makes a world of difference when you use the Hibiki because you will notice it while fucking this toy.

As most meikis, the Hibiki seems to be a mid to low- intensity toy, designed for more pleasure than intensity.

Review
Well, at first try, the Hibiki does not feel unique or special. It feels fine and realistic and it will make you cum, but the first impression is "I'm fucking another meiki". I really felt a difference during my third session with the toy - thanks in great part to the fact I was completely relaxed when I masturbated that night. That night I took my time and fucked the Hibiki slowly and without hurry. At that session, I felt the pleasure from the ribs and nubs at the center section of the toy and the stinger on its g-spot. That session felt fantastic and in the following session two nights later, I made a point to relax my body and my brain to fully experience this toy. It felt extremely good...

The Hibiki's G-Spot (QueenCatAdultToys)
Again, meikis are designed to be pleasure rides, not intensity loaded rides, but the Hibiki can be intense - if you know how to "turn on" the intensity. To feel intensity with this toy, I had to use a thinner lubricant (Flesh Lube Water) and fuck this toy hands free as slow as I could. I had to allow my little friend to get swollen inside the toy and feel all the ridges and specially the g-spot stinger.



The stinger became my favorite part of the toy. I could feel the little nub caressing the head of my penis on every slow stroke - and it felt better when changing the orientation of the toy, so the g-spot rubbed the frenulum.

Orgasms with the Hibiki were strong, but nothing earth-shattering or teeth-clenching. They felt like they should feel: ball draining, sleep-inducing, and sandwich eating orgasms. (Too bad the Meiki Plush Doll does not make sandwiches!)

Cleaning the Hibiki is like cleaning any other meiki. The entrance ripped a little after the first use, but nothing major or even cosmetically noticeable from afar.

FYI:
For this review, I used both Fleshlube Water and Honey Drops as the lube. I used the Meiki Plush Doll for the hands free sessions.

RPP 3.0 #27: Fleshlight Girls' Cougar (Nina Hartley) (RPP #79)



Since the debut of the Fleshlight Girls line , Fleshlight has been moving away from the young, barely legal models and getting more mature models. From the teen web cam models they began with, they moved to porn stars (usually in their 20's), and more recently they had been including models in their 30's and 40's like Lisa Ann and the whole V-Force lineup. Now, they include the prototype of the MATURE women: Nina Hartley! Fleshlight released the Cougar, a texture inspired by the 53 year old porn veteran and her experienced pussy. Is it good? Lets see...

General Description

The Cougar has an orifice modeled after the pussy of the porn legend Nina Hartley. Even when we are talking about a 53 years-old woman, the labia on this toy is simply beautiful. You can see it in the picture on the right - it looks perfect!

Well, if you had been reading this blog, you know I don't care much about the looks. Texture is the main reason I buy these toys and the Cougar is an interesting texture. It is basically a Fleshlight with soft ridges and a single row of soft discs on the side  of the canal. Yes, the discs are on the side of the tunnel, not at the bottom (where they would hit your penis' frenulum) nor at the top, where they would stimulate your penis' head. Since the ridges are softer than the ones in the Super Ribbed, the Cougar promised to be a middle intensity sleeve with the chance of some variation depending on how you fuck it.


Review
Well, the Cougar resulted to be a really interesting texture. At first, it felt mostly as a pure ribbed toy - which was kind of disappointing - until I was able to feel the discs on the side. That took some minutes, but once I was able to feel them, I realized the texture was softer than the Super Ribbed, but it could be pretty intense.



With the end cap fully tightened, the intensity of the ribs is muted, so you feel the discs on the side and kind of a multitude of nubs around your penis (the ridges are soft enough to simply caress and not overwhelm you). In this setting, the Cougar is a purring cat that is playing with you, teasing and pleasuring until your poor penis can't take anymore and spurts inside her. Having an orgasm after that long, pleasurable build up is one great experience.


But wait... what about releasing the end cap? Oh, this is when the Cougar gets serious! If you use the Cougar without the end cap, the texture is fully awake, giving an intense workout on your little friend. The ridges feel more pressing, and the discs caress the side of the penis, stimulating an area that usually is ignored. The result: Intense and hard orgasms leaving you trying to catch your breath.

As with all Fleshlights, cleaning the Cougar is simple: just flush with water.

Verdict:
The Cougar is like an experienced professional: it can tease you until you cum or simply fuck and grind you. Personally, I would have preferred the discs aligned with the lower part of the pussy, so the discs had hit the underside of the penis, but still it is a cool toy to have.

FYI:
For this review, I used Fleshlube Water as the lube and used the Meiki Plush Doll for the hands free sessions.


BTW, this is the owner of that meaty pussy in real life...

Answers to a few questions...

One of the great things about writing a blog is that readers ask questions on the comments area. Sometimes, answering these questions is easy - one or two lines would do - but often, there are questions that deserve longer answers, sometimes too long for a reply. So I have taken three of those questions and replied to them in a post. Lets start...

1. Which doll is better: the modified Aki or the Meiki Plush Doll? (Anonymous)

As I wrote in the reply, it is difficult to compare these two excellent dolls. For those of you that don't know what I am talking about, the Aki is a clear air doll from Japan which I modified with a pair of Quty Tits (see the review here and the mods here) while the Meiki Doll is a plush torso sold by ToyDemon (see my review here). Personally, I prefer solid dolls because they provide some resistance when you use them and they feel more realistic to the touch. Now, inflatable dolls have their good points, specially when dealing with storage. If you have a busted back like me, an air babe is a great option - no weight to lift, no effort to move it around. So, which one is better? Well, it depends on your preferences and your masturbators. 

Both dolls have realistic measures, attractive curves, and excellent quality construction. If you want a doll that is easily stored when not used, then any of the clear Japanese ladies will do - Aki, Nana, Usahane, or Ren. All of these dolls accept small and medium sized masturbators (Toys Heart, Lilith, Succubus, etc) and can be dressed with your favorite clothes. If you want to feel like a porn star and shoot your "money shot" over her breasts or ass, cleaning is super easy - just wipe with a damp cloth or paper towel. They also are easy to modify with breasts masturbators like the Quty Tits by following the same procedure I used. Drawbacks? Air dolls are prone to develop puncture wounds, so be aware of any sharp object or abrasive surface. The price for your fantasies is about US$105 for the combo ($40 for the doll and  $65 for the Quty Tits).

On the other hand, if your masturbator collection includes a lot of larger masturbators like the Meikis and Fleshlights, the best option is the Meiki Doll. Yes, it costs twice as the Aki / Quty combo ($230), and money shots will be a pain in the ass to clean, but it will accommodate all your rubber pussies from the small ones to the huge Fleshlights. Storage is trickier - you will need a duffel bag or a closet to hide it - but if you live alone, it really does not matter. Also, any modification or repair requires at least having minimum sewing skills and equipent.

So, the best doll is the one that suits your budget, living arrangemments, and masturbator collection. Both the Aki and the Meiki are excellent options, so regardless which one you choose, you will enjoy it.


2. Which is the most realistic masturbator? (Various)

This is another of those difficult questions to answer. Why? Because "realistic" can mean anything you want it to mean. It can mean that its labia looks real. It can mean that the material feels like real flesh. It can mean that the texture feels like a real vagina feels. It can mean... well you get the idea. What is a "realistic" toy for me can be a total thud with you and vice-versa. For example, one of the most realistic toys in the market is the Meiki Maria Ozawa which a lot of people find too soft and not stimulating (I do not own a Maria Ozawa). Other guys will go 100% behind their trusted Fleshlight Vortex, which for me is the closest Fleshlight has gotten to a realistic texture (I haven't ordered the Bookworm, which looks promising).

That said, in MY opinion, three of  the most realistic masturbators are the Venus Real, the Meiki ZXY, and the Meiki Chika Eiro. Their textures are very organic - no straight tunnels, no extreme nubs or ribs, and no teeth or unnatural structures. Their stimulation level varies from the low (Real) to the medium high level (ZXY). There are many toys that feel realistic - Succubus 2D Wave, Lilith Uterus, Monster Kakusei, Sujiman Kupa Roa (review pending), Satori (review pending), and even the much maligned Fleshlight Lotus and Original textures - that it is almost impossible to declare a single winner on the realistic toy. After all, real pussies are different from each other...

3. "I bought toy X and didn't like it!" (Various)

I get this back on comments, emails and private messages all the time. The person reads one of my reviews, buys a toy I liked, then he doesn't like it. (The good thing is that nobody had blamed me of his decision... yet!)

Well, there are a few things I need to say about this situation:
  • Give the toy a few tries. Toys and our penises need some time to get used to each other - the famous "break-in" period. When I review a toy, I make sure that I use it at least 3 times before I review it. Sometimes it has taken me more than 5 uses to make up an opinion about a toy. So, get to know your toy before dismissing it to the recycle bin. Use a different lube / lotion. Change the quantity of lubricant. Vary the speed of masturbation. All those factors can make the worst toy a cool one to play with. I could not appreciate my Fleshlight Vortex until after I used it 12 times!
  • Have toys of different types. Do you know what DGS is? If not go here. DGS happens whenever your penis gets used to the pressure from your hand - but a similar effect can happen when your penis gets used to a toy's consistency or texture type. If you only use Fleshlights and suddenly change to a meiki, you will feel like fucking air because meikis are way softer and have a lower intensity than the Fleshies. If you are used to meikis and change to a Toys Heart toy, you will feel like fucking a sandpaper because the material used by ToysHeart is more rubbery and firm. You avoid that by having different toys with a variety of textures and firmness levels. Have a mix of realistic, smooth and highly intense toys and cycle them on a daily or weekly basis.
  • Be creative with your toys. Use two toys during the same session, alternating between them. Twist the toy, so your penis get different stimuli. Create games with them, like pumping to the beat of music or challenging yourself to last certain time before cumming. Sometimes being creative with a toy helps you to discover new things in them and make that toy you despise into your favorite. One example - my FL Maze. It is a weird texture, a hit-or-miss type. But when I had a dual toy session with the Maze and the Forbidden, I realized the Maze felt different. It was a hit. Now, whenever I use the Maze, I combine it with a smooth texture like the Forbidden or the Original, so I feel something completely different when I stick my penis in one of the toys.
  • Be gentle the first time. Like in real dates, if you go too rough on the first time, it won't end well. If you are using a toy for the first time, be gentle with it. Apply more lubricant than usual to "cure" the inside and allow your penis to slide easier into a new toy. Go slow, so you can feel the texture. Enjoy the ride. 
Well, I have a few other questions I will leave to a future post.

Sex toys: The double standard

Why is that women can use sex toys and be sexy, adventurous, and "liberated" while a guy using a sex toy is creepy, lonely, and a pervert?




I hate adding one more entry of this topic to the thousands on the web, but that photo is like ten years old and still the opinions are the same. A guy using a pocket pussy - or simply admitting to enjoy masturbating- is a lonely, pathetic being. A woman admitting to have a few "toys" is empowered. What the FUCK?! It is simply stupid that we still consider male sex toys and male masturbation a taboo.

There are 5 vibrators and dildos for every single male masturbator on the market. Don't believe me? Go to your favorite "adult novelty" store and compare the available models - you will be surprised. For every Fleshlight in stock, there are 5 "dongs"  on the same store. For every meiki sold, there are at least three bullet vibrators, one rabbit, and even maybe one of those power drill dildos available. Rubber pussies reproduce the labia of a porn star while a realistic dildo can have every single vein of a juiced bodybuilder penis. Fake pussies and sex dolls are life-size at best. On the other side, there are dildos with names like "King Dong" and "Destroyer" with sizes as long as 18 inches and girths up to 6 inches - wider than a soda can. So who is creepier? The guy fucking a Real Doll with real-life measurements or the woman trying to insert a dildo that can only belong to a well hung centaur? 

Fantasize with this when you are fucking that King Dong. You are welcomed!
Why am I ranting? Well, yesterday evening I went out with my girl, her best friend and her boyfriend. We were talking after watching a stand-up comedy act and the topic of sex toys came out after a joke with the punchline "Real men fuck real women".  My girl began to make fun of the joke repeating the punchline while mimicking Tarzan (imagine a barely 5 feet tall, 100 pounds Asian doing this and believe me, you are going to laugh). The other guy on the table became defensive and began to say  he agreed with the joke - a real man would never need a damn rubber pussy. During the next few minutes, my girl simply had fun with the poor guy, mocking his commentary until he got furious and asked me to back him up. You can imagine his surprise when I told him "You are alone in this pal, I have a full collection of fake pussies at home!" 

The rest of the evening was an awkward conversation between my girl and her best friend about how she likes my use of toys. Yes, it is awkward to have two attractive women (an Asian and an African American in their early 30's) talking on how one of them buys clothes for your sex dolls (clothes SHE can wear) and sometimes have threesomes with you and a fake pussy on a doll taller than her. Discussing my sex life here and on other Web forums is one thing, but discussing "El Casquetero" in real life is hard for me because I am very, very private about my sex life - I don't even discuss it with my brother! 

That, and trying to avoid cumming in my pants whenever my girl's friend looked at me and smiled knowingly.
"Really?"
So, lets stop all the bullshit. If you are a guy and you enjoy fucking a sex toy, or have a sex doll, you are not a lonely, antisocial, pervert loser. You are a common guy enjoying your sexuality. You are exactly like the empowered, powerful, sexy woman smiling on the next photo with her new power drill dildo. Ready to enjoy a good fuck... and maybe later renovate her dungeon.
 
"Why are you laughing like that? What are you doing with my hammer drill? No, no, noooooo!" 
Ok, that's creepy!!!

RPP 3.0 #25: California Exotics' Throb Master (RPP #77)

A few weeks ago, PinkCherry.com had one of their insane weekly sales and I found myself buying a few things. I don't NEED new toys, but when you see a talking masturbator for $5, a silicone prostate massager for $6, and a bullet vibrator that follows the beat of your favorite music for $5, I could not let those pass away without buying some stuff. I will review those toys (and a few other things I got from them) in later posts, but today is about one of the things I bought on that spree: The Throb Master. What the hell is that? Keep reading...

General Description

The Throb Master from California Exotics is a crossover between a begginer's penis pump (those things that supposedly make your penis larger and stronger) and a simple masturbator with a few rows of jelly sticks. It is a simple toy that promises a tight but gentle session. It is a simple idea. You take a plastic cup and insert a folded inflatable sleeve like the ones used on blood pressure measurement, put a flexible cup inside and finally place a soft jell masturbator. Inflate the blood pressure sleeve and voila! You will get a small toy with customizable tightness and some degree of stimulation.Since it was on sale for just $15, I decided to give it a try, although I was not expecting much from it.

Review
After trying so many sex toys, there is something I should know by now: Never underestimate a toy! I did not have high expectations for this little toy, but it delivered much more than I thought.

Don't get me wrong - this toy is not an exceptional toy. It feels cheap, is kind of temperamental, and it has too many parts, but it is a decent toy for those people like me that like to build up their orgasms.

As I described earlier, the concept is relatively easy. You have an inflatable wall around a flexible masturbator, allowing you to customize the tightness of the masturbator. Finding the correct tightness for you will be the greatest challenge and the most fun part of using this toy.



Personally, I liked to pump the thing to my comfortable setting, then I stroked SLOWLY, allowing the bristles to caress my penis. After a few minutes, I would release all the air from the sleeve and -  surprise! - the jelly bristles felt much more pronounced. I would stroke slowly with no air pressure on the sleeve for a few minutes, then pumped the thing again and repeated the cycle. After a long, long session, I came one of those draining ejaculations that although not very powerful, leaves you with a deep satisfaction and a big grin on your face.

Cleaning the thing is relatively easy since you only need to take out the soft jelly insert and wash it with mild soap and water. It dries quickly, so it is back to action in no time.

After this, I will never see a blood pressure sleeve the same way!!!

Score:
Immediate Feedback: 3/5
Orgasm Buildup: 5/5
Realism: 2/5
Tightness: 5/5  - You can make it as tight as you want!
Tear and Wear: 4/5 
Hygiene: 5/5 
Maintenance: 3/5 - Need to be careful with the pump bulb and its valve.
Use: 5/5 

Value: Medium
Preference: Medium

Total score:  32 / 40


Verdict:
The Throb Master is an interesting toy concept. Unfortunately, the toy feels kind of cheap and it is a really low stimulation toy. If they get a similar concept with a real masturbator and a sturdier case, we could be looking at a revolution. Not at that level, but a cool thing to play if you find it on the clearance section of your favorite store.


FYI:
For this review, I used Honey Drops as the lube and followed the beat at the Cock Hero videos posted here. A fun way to cum!
