Quickies Episode 1

Suddenly I realized that during August I won't have regular access to the Web because I will be out of the country, so I decided to write as many reviews I could. In this first episode of Quickies, I will be doing short reviews of a few toys, lubes, and condoms I have used recently.

#1 - imPress Cock Ring

I'm not a big fan of cock rings, but this one really impressed me. It has a series of unique characteristics that made me enjoy using it. First it is a hard silicone that feels comfortable no matter how long you wear it. Second, it is fully adjustable in increments that guarantee a perfect fit. Third, it is easy to remove in case of emergency: You just need to unsnap it and your penis  is free. If you are a fan of cock rings or are interested on using them, try the imPress.

#2 - Fleshlube Ice / Fleshlube Fire

Part of the lube offerings from ILF / Fleshlight.com, Fleshlight Ice and Fleshlight Fire are two water based lubricants that have either a cooling (Ice) or warming effect (Fire) on the applied area(s). Fire warms the area for a few minutes, feeling slightly oily and grainy when applied. Ice cools for longer periods of time and doesn't feel as oily or grainy as Fire. My personal favorite of the two  is the Ice, since it allows to delay the ejaculation for a little bit. It also gives idea for the "frozen" session: having a session with a sleeve that had been stored in the freezer for a few hours and then using the Ice lube. I haven't done it yet, but whenever I do it, I will share the experience here.

#3 - Euphoria Enhanced Prostate Stimulator

I have shared here my experiences with prostate stimulation using the Aneros MGX. The Euphoria is from one of their competitors - and it gives Aneros a good fight. The Euphoria is bigger than the Aneros MGX by maybe 15% of the volume, giving a slight more pressure to the prostate. If you are a big guy like me, the Euphoria feels better since the prostate location varies depending on your body structure. The best part of the Euphoria is that it cost HALF the price of the comparable sized Aneros. If you are into prostate stimulation and are looking for a more economic alternative, have the Euphoria in your wish list.

#4 - Vibrating Silicone Prostate Stimulator

Speaking of prostate stimulation, why not combining prostate stimulation and vibration? It is a good idea that I couldn't  avoid trying - and it is good. This prostate stimulator is a softer alternative to the Aneros and if you want to add an extra "umph", turn on the vibrations to experience a new level of stimulation. The vibrations go directly to the prostate allowing for completely hands free prostate orgasms. Now, this stimulator has two problems: it doesn't stay put if you are having sex and the vibrator part sometimes decides not to work at all. Those two issues aside, this prostate stimulator is a decent alternative to other vibrating prostate stimulators.


#5 - LifeStyles Ultra Sensitive Condoms
These condoms had become my favorites for the last few months. They are thin but resistant, allowing for good sensations and what I like the most is the rounded tip to secure it in place and providing room for the penis head to expand during ejaculation. Available in your favorite department store or pharmacy.

Review: Aneros MGX Prostate Massager

Back in November, I pulled the trigger and bought an Aneros MGX prostate massager. After reading article after article about the benefits of massaging my prostate and reading post after post of guys saying how good the orgasms were - and that some were able to achieve multiple orgasms in the same session - I could not avoid considering to include prostate massaging to my sexual inventory.

How does it feels?
Lets start saying that how it feels will depend more in the user's state of mind than the physical stimulation provided by the massage. If you are not relaxed - both mentally and physically - the experience will not be good.

The first time I used it, the sensations were far from enjoyable. Although I was relaxed, and lubed my asshole and the Aneros as if lube was free, it was uncomfortable. The Aneros went in pretty easily (which surprised me since it was the first time I ever pushed something inside my rectum), but the sensation of fullness I felt didn't fade out after almost 30 minutes after inserting the massager. At that time I was cumming - which was incredible. The length and intensity of my orgasm were something I had never felt before since I started masturbating at age 12. The discomfort came back when I removed the Aneros and felt my asshole opened  - I felt as if I was going to take a dump at any moment. If the orgasm had not been as good as it was, I would probably never used the Aneros again.


Going back to the Aneros again and again...

Since that first time use, I have returned to the Aneros on six more occasions,  learning how to work with it and getting used to the sensations. After those uses, I can say it is a great addition to any sexual practice. Erections are stronger and can last longer, but was really make prostate massage great are the orgasms. Although I haven't achieved none of the Holy Grails of prostate massaging (the hands-free ejaculation and prostate based orgasm), the penile orgasms I had achieved so far had been mind blowing. Cumming with a prostate massager inserted, you feel every single contraction, every single pump made to make the semen go out. That feels so good I can't believe I haven't tried it before.

Aneros MGX
Pros: Affordable, perfect size for beginners, hands-free operation, easy cleanup.
Cons: Learning curve, must try different positions and insertion depths to find pleasurable spot.
Overall Value: High
Score: 4.5 / 5 due to learning curve.
