A few random things...

I haven't posted any new review recently because I had been extremely busy at my job. We got "audited" during past month and anyone  who had experienced a government audit knows how crazy all the supervisors go at the mention of those events. Even as tired as an audit leaves you, there are a few things I have read and heard that I want to share with you guys. Lets see...

1) Fleshlight kills the signature textures for the FLG line... and resurrect them a few weeks later. As you know, back in March I wrote about the demise of the signature textures for the Fleshlight Girls line of toys. The FLG line would continue, but only available with the Lotus texture for the vaginal toy. The backlash on the FL forum was epic and even a boycott took shape. Whatever the reason, Fleshlight realized it was a bad move and in late April, resurrected the signature textures for their FLGs.

Now, I would like to give a free suggestion to the marketing "geniuses" at ILF. If you want to inject new life into the product, make a DAMN REALISTIC texture! Don't tell me is not possible - the guys who made the Spider did it, with a sleeve that looks and feels like a FL clone. So just design the appropriate rod and DO IT! Then you can use the new realistic texture as the default option for a new FLG line, giving the Lotus a second seat as an alternative.

By the way... Can you retire the generic Pink Lady pussy? It looks unrealistic - so much that even fantasy toys like the ones done by Bad-Dragon look more realistic (and more attractive). Change the generic Lady Horse Pussy with the MILF Hunter, the Spread Eagle, or even one the size of the Lotus Lager. In fact, have two or three vagina models as options for your generic pussy, add the "signature" textures for the BYO and you just made another revolution in the sex toy industry. Come on guys...

This is a fantasy "lady-horse" pussy... and it is more attractive than the Pink Lady. (Photo:  Bad-Dragon.com)

2) Soloflesh adds an ebony version. I haven't tried the Soloflesh, but hearing that a vendor adds some color to their products is always positive. For some weird reason, there are more blue and green fake pussies than African-American or Latina inspired toys in the market. That is changing and personally I am glad to see them out there. It even makes me want to try the fuckable water balloon...

3) Porn films move outside L.A.   Last November, voters in Los Angeles voted to require all porn actors to use condoms in movies filmed in the San Fernando Valley (where most adult film companies have their offices and studios). According to the L.A. Times, only 2 permits for adult film recording had been submitted by April 2013, well below the rate that reached 500 on 2012. The companies are moving to other California counties - which are already considering passing similar laws to keep the porn films away.

Honestly, I believe condom use should be mandatory in any commercial porn movie. These are people who are sleeping with multiple partners as part of their job, so they should be required to protect themselves - just like construction workers are required to use hard hats and steel toe shoes. Maybe is because I became sexually active during the heyday of the AIDS epidemic, but I don't see the logic behind having sex with multiple partners WITHOUT a condom.

4) Cosplay is NOT Consent. As I had written before, I do not understand cosplaying... but I have nothing against young, hot women, walking around in tight clothes showing pronounced cleavages. I don't know how crazy (or naive) a young woman has to be to dress in tight clothes that leave almost nothing to the imagination and expect the guys in attendance to be complete gentlemen. Remember, we are talking about a group where at least half of these guys masturbates furiously while watching anime or playing games like Dead or Alive or Tomb Raider. What the hell, I don't go to these conventions and I have to stop playing DoA or Rumble Roses after 30 minutes to take a dick-pumping break!

Excuse me for a few minutes...

Don't want to sound like a complete chauvinist, but I am a firm believer of personal responsibility.  If you are a female cosplayer dressed with just a few vinyl / leatherette strips to cover your body, you know you are throwing yourself to the wolves. Most of these characters are based on typical male fantasies - and you are making these fantasies real in the flesh. You know they will stare at you - because they are horny males, you are a hot woman, and you are dressed as the target of many, many lonely sessions of sexual fantasies.

That said, I agree with the premise from Cosplay Is Not Consent.  Nothing gives me or anyone else the right to touch, grab, or fondle another person without his / her consent. As a guy, if I see a sexy woman, I do stare at her (can't avoid it) and maybe say something - but I had NEVER being lewd or depraved on my looks or comments.

Women like to be noticed and complimented, but please, PLEASE, don't think they like to be disrespected or treated like a piece of meat even when having just two dots covering her nipples and a dental-floss thong. They are using a costume and often, they are PAID to go dressed as a specific character, so treat them as performing artists, because that is what they are.

That respect goes to photographing. If you want a photo of that Evangelion girl that is almost exploding the plug suit with her curves, or of that sexy Pikachu, ask for her permission first. Whatever you do with the photo afterwards is your own damned business, but be a man and ask for permission before photographing. If  you participate in cosplay / fantasy conventions,  please don't be an asshole and respect the ladies. Enjoy the view and compliment their costume... while looking at her eyes if possible.

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.

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!

RPP 3.0 #20: Fleshlight M.I.L.F. Hunter (RPP #72)

Did you ever fantasized with your best friend's mom? Be honest, you probably did... Most of us had at least one friend during our teens that had this incredibly sexy mother. We could have given anything for that woman to seduce us and "teach us" the ropes. Someone decided to give that fantasy the acronym MILF (Mother I'd Like to Fuck) and this term became now mainstream - specially after the popular American Pie series- and sex toys companies decided to jump on the bandwagon and began to make vaginas inspired on those mature vixens. Fleshlight is the latest company doing this, making the MILF Hunter - a specialized version to celebrate your local MILF.

General Description

MILF Hunter  / Cougar texture (Photo: ILF / Fleshlight)

The MILF (or Cougar as it is branded on the end of the sleeve) is one of those Fleshlights that makes you to think. The orifice is a pussy with spread eagle lips - which is very attractive - and with a texture that is surprisingly tight for a "mature"  lady. The texture has a wide entry point that fast becomes tighter with a series of ribs and bump, making it intense, Adding to this intensity is a pair of cervical nodes (the infamous Lotus nodes) that are usually intense after you learn how to deal with them. The sleeve has soething for everybody, no matter the size of your penis.

Review

If you are a fan of intense textures, then Fleshlight gave another home run with the MILF. The sleeve is one of the most intense toys from Fleshlight - at the same level than the Destroya, the Primal, and the STU. The tightness and intensity of the sleeve will leave you panting with explosive sessions regardless of how you use it. As a stroker with no end cap, the sleeve is brutally aggressive, tugging your penis at all times and forcing you to take breaks to avoid cumming too early. Used on hands-free sessions with the cap fully tighten, the experience is more subtle and more similar to the fantasy of an older woman seducing you.

The Lotus nodes and the ribs give the MILF a characteristic - you will need to find a balance of lubricant. If you use too much lubricant, the ribs feel soft and you won't feel the Lotus node at all. Not enough lube, and the Lotus node will drive you crazy with pleasure too soon in your session. I loved that game, taking me two sessions to find the sweet balance for my sessions. No mater which MILF you prefer - the sex starved cougar or the experienced seducer - the MILF Hunter will give you intense orgasms.

Cleaning the MILF is relatively easy. Just remember to shake the sleeve to remove excess water from the Lotus nodes.

RPP 3.0 #8: Work at Night Masturbator (RPP #60)

We all have heard the KISS principle: "Keep It Simple, Stupid!" Apparently someone at the Japanese company TOMAX was listening to this principle when designing the Work at Night masturbator. Is its simplicity good? Lets see...

General Description

The Work at Night masturbator is a study in simplicity. Everything is simple in its design: the entrance is just a hole without any pussy lips or design, its exterior has no designs or grooves to improve grip, and the interior texture is just a series of ribs with different diameters. When you see the Work at Night and compare it with other masturbation toys, you look at it and say to yourself "That's a fucking ugly toy! I won't spend money on that shit!" It doesn't promise much, but as a friend liked to say, sometimes you will like simpler things.

Review

If you look at the Work at Night, you will regard it to be one of those cheap masturbation toys that won't feel right. After submitting the Work at Night to my tests, I have to admit I was prejudiced against this Japanese masturbator. It is plain and simple... but good!

First, lets talk about the material. TOMAX  toys are very soft, but at the same time extremely durable. The Work at Night is no exception. The material is durable and soft, but unlike the Succubus and the Venus lines, the material of the Work at Night is sticky - very sticky. On the inside it is good since the stickiness improves the suction, but on the outside it attracts every single spec of dust around. The good news is that the material is very simple to clean with running water.

Now, lets talk about size. Unlike most Japanese toys, the Work at Night has a wide entrance hole perfect to penetrate while semi-erect. You can penetrate this rubber pussy with a half mast and work to a full erection while inside, increasing the suction and the sensations. another good thing about the Work at Night is that it measures a good 6 inches long - perfect length for those with a small to average sized penis. It is also a heavy toy - it weights almost a pound - so it is perfect for pounding hands free (given you find a good holder or mount).

The real surprise with this toy where the sensations. The tunnel of this masturbator has one of the simplest textures - ribs with a gradual change in diameter - but its simplicity works great with the material and the diameter of the overall tunnel. When you add all three, this toy becomes the equivalent of a Zen garden: simple and sublime at the same time. During my sessions with the Work at Night, I enjoyed a gentle rubbing from the ribs with a nice tugging sensation from the sticky material. Even pounding it hands free (I was able to squeeze it into "Alexa's" hole), the Work at Night tugged my penis and simply milked me in every session.

Cleaning the Work at Night was easy thanks to its wide entrance. Drying was also fast, making this masturbator a good toy for those lazy, horny mornings. Something funny about this toy is the paper apron included. The manufacturer includes not only the usual lube sample, but in this case, they also add a paper apron for to put over your groin and avoid the mess after you finish. Nice touch for a toy on the below $25 range.

RPP 2.0 #23: The Succubus Series - Bumpy Road (RPP #51)

Continuing my enchantment by the mythical Succubus, this week I used the Bumpy Roads model. This masturbator reminded me of the old favorite STU Fleshlight due to its big rounded bumps. Is it that good? Lets see...

Succubus Bumpy Road inner texture (Photo: www.masturbator101.com)

Review

I ordered the Bumpy Road in its "Regular" firmness. Just like I established on the review for the 2D Wavy Ripple, the Succubus' Regular firmness is very similar to the one you find on the classic Fleshlights. Like its sisters, the Bumpy Road is very stretchy and flexible, odorless, and fine to the touch.

Unlike the reviewed Succubi, the canal of the Bumpy Road is straight and wider. Since the entrance is wider than in the other Succubi, it is easier to "finger" the toy. The bumps are easily noticeable and inviting, so you can imagine the next step... trying the masturbator with my penis!

Comparing this masturbator to the STU is unfair - the Succubus' bumps are softer than the STU's bumps, so the stimulation is more gradual. Even with softer bumps, the Bumpy Road provides immediate feedback and a constant stimulation that drives you to the edge of orgasm and keeps you there for a while. My sessions with this toy felt longer than the ones I have with similar toys, but when I checked the clock, none of them lasted more than 45 minutes. This Succubus has the power of warping time! (Ha, Ha, Ha!). The orgasm buildup with the Bumpy Road is slow, but when it reaches you, the orgasm is intense and fulfilling.

Just like the other Succubus, the Bumpy Road works well as a handheld stroker, but feels better during hands-free sessions. It fits easily into most of my dolls' vaginal orifices, so I can enjoy the experience with different "bodies". I really enjoyed it while using "Rosa", my C18 Candy (Body 4).

As with most closed end toys, cleaning can be an issue, requiring to turn the sleeve inside out (something I don't like to do), or inserting a towel inside the canal to speed the drying and avoid mold inside the toy. The Succubus material ("Succubus Skin") is flexible enough to turn the masturbator inside out without problem, so cleaning and drying is easy if you prefer that method. Maintenance is pretty easy, requiring a light starching / powdering for the toy to keep its softness to the touch.

Verdict:

If you want a budget masturbator for "edging" (building up your orgasm to  almost ejaculation), the Succubus Bumpy Road is your choice. It is a great addition to any sex toy collection!

RPP 2.0 #21: The Succubus Series - 2D Wavy Ripple (RPP #49)

The general definition of a succubus is a female demon who takes the form of a woman to seduce men, driving them crazy during sexual intercourse. This definition applies perfectly to the Succubus  line of  toys made by the Japanese company Tomax and sold in the USA  by Queen Cat AdultToys (http://www.queencatadulttoys.com/).

The Succubus line is composed of 4 models, each one with its specific interior texture: the 2D Wavy Ripple, the Succubus Dots, the Succubus Standard Ripple, and the Succubus Bumpy Road. The textures themselves are not unique or revolutionary, but the fact that each model is available in three levels of material firmness (hard, regular, and soft) is. Just like that, you have a line of 12 different toys - all costing less than $30!

Is the Succubus a good toy? Lets go and review the first toy - the Succubus 2D Wavy Ripple.

Review

The Succubus 2D Wavy Ripple canal (side cut) (Photo: QueenSexAdultToys.com)

At first view, the Succubus looks like another cheap masturbation sleeve in the below $30 range. The orifice is almost cartoonish, its closed end promises somewhat of suction while using, and its size is perfect for those of us with smaller penises. The toy is about 6 inches long and 2 inches across, but it is incredibly stretchy, easily adjusting to your size if you are the proud owner of a monster cock.

The material surprised me. I bought the 2D Wavy Ripple in the regular firmness and it feels exactly as the good and trusted Fleshies. No smell at all, no oily feeling, and extremely inviting to penetrate. I did so with my finger and as expected, the texture didn't surprise me. Just a series of thin ribs - micro ribs if you want - inside a tight wavy canal. Even if not mind blowing, the feeling was enough to want to insert my penis inside it. So, that was exactly what I did next...

Oh My! This little sleeve felt like heaven! I felt first the tightness of the sleeve and after a few seconds without moving, I felt the pressure of the micro ribs around my penis. The ribs became more pronounced after a few minutes of use, but they never got annoying or irritating like the ribs in other toys. The suction of the toy became a factor into play and I have to admit I lost it. My sessions with this little fucker NEVER lasted more than 40 minutes, but each one of those sessions was a serious orgasm.

The toy works well as a stroker (hand-held), but it shines as a hands free sleeve specially if you are a sex doll user. This sleeve fit perfectly into my C18s and my TBs, allowing for a total simulated experience. Ironically, the toy is too big for the Japanese-made dolls, requiring you to force the damn thing into the doll's orifice. Still, is one of the few sleeves that is interchangeable between my "sex partners" allowing for better sessions.

As with most closed end toys, cleaning can be an issue, requiring to turn the sleeve inside out (something I don't like to do), or inserting a towel inside the canal to speed the drying and avoid mold inside the toy. Maintenance is pretty easy, requiring a light starching for the toy to keep its softness to the touch.

Verdict:

If you want a sex toy and are cash-strapped, the Succubus 2D is an option you MUST consider. One of the best toys around, kicking the ass of Tenga to oblivion and getting head to head with Fleshlight and the meikis.

RPP 2.0 #20: Dragon Texture (Asa Akira's FLG) (RPP #48)

Introducing: Asa Akira

If you have ever watched a scene with porn star Asa Akira, you know two things: 1) that woman is HOT as Hell and 2) she will do shit you WISH you could do with any woman you know. Asa is a porn goddess and it was incredible that ILF took so long to launch her FLG.

Is Asa Akira's texture a real Dragon? Lets see...

Asa Akira's Dragon Texture (Photo: ILF / Fleshlight)

Review

Lets begin with the obvious: the Dragon has a wide canal. Unlike most recent  FLG which tend to be tight, the Dragon went with a wider canal - almost as wide as the original smooth texture (3/4 inch diameter). Add a continuous spiral of nubs and a collection of soft ribs and you a recipe for a long, long, orgasm buildup.

If you are looking for something like the Destroya or the Gauntlet, look elsewhere. Just like the mythical creature, this dragon is slow but brutal. As soon as you enter the Dragon, you feel the caress of the texture, softly at first. It is inviting, so you keep pumping, allowing your penis to grow inside the texture. That's when the Dragon wakes and sends you to pleasure land. During the sessions I did for this review, I went into sustained periods of sexual excitement, something not common with Fleshlights. During those periods, I feel close to orgasm, but I stay at that level for five or ten minutes before ejaculating like a possessed. Besides the Dragon, I had only felt that before with the Twista and with the Original.

The texture allows you to control the whole experience, so it is a good texture for those who likes edging (masturbating and stopping until close to orgasm, rest for a minute or two, then continuing) or those who love long sessions (like me). If you are a fan of lowly built orgasms, the Dragon is the sleeve for you.

 
As with all Fleshlights, the Dragon is easy to clean. Given its wide canal and simple texture, it dries completely after a few hours, ready to give pleasure.

Verdict:

Just as Asa Akira became one of my favorite porn stars, her FLG has become one of my favorites. The Dragon is one of those textures well designed for long sessions ending in great explosive orgasms.

Next Stop: Tempted by a Succubus...

What's going on here?

A friend of the blog recently sent a message asking about new postings. To answer his question, I haven't posted because I had been busy - extremely busy - with school, work, and life outside masturbation.

My job is driving me insane, loading me with lots and lots of stress, which in turn had made some health conditions to re-surface. Lets say that during the weekends - when I usually post here - I am either trying to recover from a hell of a work week, in extreme pain thanks to nerve system conditions, or simply knocked down with a heavy dose of painkillers for my nerve condition. Add the regular rush of the Holidays and you can figure why I had not posted in a while...

Does that mean that I haven't been choking the chicken whenever I can? HELL NO!!!

Let's  give you an idea of what we  had been going around in Casa Casquetero:

1. Got a Teddy Babe Deluxe for my collection. Last month I added Victoria to my increasing collection of sex dolls. Victoria is a second-hand Teddy Babe Deluxe (Carly model) I got from a TDF member. Unlike the TBs, TBDs are taller (5'2") and their proportions are more human-like. The coolness factor for this doll is that it was custom made by its previous owner with different eye colors and made brunette. 
2. Made a "female" sleeping pillow. Just after receiving "Victoria", my health began to worsen, so I needed a body pillow to aid me sleeping. (One of my conditions require me to avoid pressure on my right side while sleeping). I had body pillows, but they pissed me off because I need two to allow me to rest my whole body (I'm 6 ft tall). I wanted for a pillow long enough to allow me to rest my whole body at once. My prayers were answered when a local store liquidated a bunch of Halloween stuffed dummies. My mind calculated the measurements and decided they were perfect. After a few minor modifications (a few stitches here and there, additional filling material, a larger Styrofoam head, and a wig), Lala was born. Basically a body pillow with female form, "she" is the ultimate cuddling body pillow: 6'3" tall, 36 D breasts to grab, and a trim but soft ass to cling to. Still, her hands are alike a trucker's hands, but well, nothing in life is perfect. 
3. Got a weird hands-free masturbator. Remember the Cobra Libre? Well, I realized I was not a big fan of it, but due to my increasingly busted back, I needed something similar to relieve my "lower tension" without moving too much. I found an answer in E-bay with the Bolo Masturbator (http://bolomalemasturbator.com/). This thing is sold as the ultimate help to avoid prostate cancer by promoting robust ejaculations. Personally, I didn't believe that crap when I bought it - I just wanted something to make me cum without me requiring moving. Well, the thingy works like the Cobra Libre, but it is cheaper ($50), simpler to setup, and it is more powerful. Still, I feel cheated. Why? After receiving it, I realized that it looked vaguely familiar, something that I confirmed a few days ago when I saw a cheap back massager. The Bolo is nothing else that two of the motors with some straps attached! I bought one of the chair massagers ($10), reverse engineered it and now I have the prototype of a bitchin' Turbo Vibro Fleshlight  - a FL Vibro so powerful that makes the Cobra Libre look like a child's toy. I will try to improve it during the Holidays (if my nerves allow it).
4. Finally got into a Tenga Flip Lite. I had heard so much of these mini Tenga Flip Holes that I wanted one badly - but was put away due to their tiny girth allowance. I snatched one in liquidation and the verdict is that if your penis is above 4 inches in girth simply forgetaboutit. The damn thing is like a vise grip and even if it will suck you dry, it is so tight you won't feel shit of the texture. Good thing I only "wasted" $30.

Well that is all for now...

I will continue the reviews as soon my health allows for it - meanwhile I will post about a few things related to the science of self pleasure in the next few weeks.

RPP 2.0 #15: Peach Pai Masturbation Sleeve (RPP #43)

Japanese toys are the weirdest in the world, both in names and in concepts. One of these weird concepts is the Peach Pai. It has a funny name - it reminded me of the now classic American Pie scene where the guy sticks his penis into a nice and warm pie - and a funny appearance thanks to its slight curve. Apparently, in Japanese Peach Pai refers to soft and round breasts and this sleeve take that concept to the masturbation sleeve. Is it good?  It is simply weird?  Lets go to the review so I can share the details...

Review

The Peach Pai is a soft masturbator sleeve manufactured by Toys Heart in Japan and it is an interesting concept. It has three main sections: a bumped section with a pair of "breast-shaped" bumps with nipples, another two smooth bumps, then a short thick ribs section, ending with a bulb shaped smooth section. The sleeve has a short curve at the entrance making its looks kind of funny.

The Peach Pai is a sleeve on the $25 range and it shows. Its material is soft - almost like life feeling while you use it - but still has the resistance and consistency of something artificial. It is designed to be used as a hand-held device, giving a good grip and allowing to be squeezed as desired while using it. One of the reasons of the bulb shaped smooth section at the end of the sleeve is to allow the user to squeeze and remove air from the interior of the sleeve, increasing the suction of the closed end design. A unique thing about the spongy material of the Peach Pai is that when you press it, the material distributes the pressure - you don't feel the points where your fingers are pressing, but you feel the pressure all over your penis.

Although it is designed as a handheld masturbator, the Peach Pai fits perfectly in the vaginal cavities of most low-end solid dolls such as the Teddy Babes, the Venus R torso, and other Japanese made dolls. Using it placed into one of these dolls changes the experience, giving a soft and nice orgasm build up thanks to the softness of the material and the natural feeling stimulation provided by the three different structures. Depending on both the depth and the angle of penetration, you can feel as if you are fucking three different pussies.

The sleeve size allows for most men to enjoy it, but be aware that the entrance lips are tight and they get easily ripped after a few uses. As in most Japanese toys, the softness of the material has the disadvantage of how much punishment it can take. 

The Peach Pie is a closed sleeve, so get ready for a difficult clean up with water and some soap. Drying this sleeve takes time, so I will recommend to use a thin cloth to dry excess water from the inside as soon as you wash it. Also, a bit of alcohol helps to avoid mold development due to the material's porosity.

Verdict:

The Peach Pai is an interesting sleeve to have in your collection if you like low intensity toys. It is fun to use by yourself or with your partner and if you like to use dolls to play, it is a good insert to play through long sessions. It is fun to use, but mostly for doll use.

RPP Review #1: Lotus Lager / Lady Lager SIAC (mini lotus)

So here is the first review from the Rubber Pussy Project (RPP) - the Lotus Lager  / Lady Lager SIAC. This masturbation sleeve is sold by ILF in their Fleshlight website  and it is part of their scaled down products for guys with smaller / thinner penises. (FYI, my penis is 5 inches long, 4.5 inches girth, and I am uncircumcised.) This sleeve was the first one I bought about 9 months ago and it stills feels as good as new. Currently, the Lotus Lager is sold as the Lady Lager - same sleeve, but with a different case color and graphics. The newer version - Lady Lager - has a golden color case in the shape of a beer can and a dark blue graphic label. You can see the texture at Fleshlight's Sex-in-a-can promo page


As established in the rules, I used the Lotus Lager for 5 consecutive nights, using a homemade mix of  Xantham Gum as the lubricant, and using it hands free in two occasions. Now, lets break down the review:


Intensity

To produce pleasure, this sleeve has a series of different sized chambers that tries to replicate the feelings of vaginal sex. The intensity of this sleeve will vary greatly depending on the quantity of lube being used: the more lube you use, the smoother the texture will feel, meaning you won't feel the ribs that change the sleeve diameter as much. I always begin with plenty of lube because I am not circumcised, so I don't feel high intensity during the initial strokes. Once the lube begins to dry - the story changes. At that moment, I feel the material pressing and popping as my penis goes in and out of the sleeve, giving waves of subtle but constant pleasure.

With  SIACs, the diameter of the canal provides constant pressure around the penis and the case provides almost a vacuum seal, allowing suction to be a huge playing factor. You can modify the suction level to your liking - full suction will make difficult thrusting the sleeve while no suction at all allows to feel the whole variety of chamber sizes. You can control the duration of your session easily - mine lasted between 25 minutes (stroking at a medium pace) to an incredible 2 hours (free-hand method at a slow pace and edging).

Orgasms with this sleeve ranged from a good, satisfied one, to the toe curling, epic ones (the one after 2 hours falls in the "mother-fucking-vocal" epic category).

Intensity Score: 4 / 5. The curve of finding the right quantity of lube to use to fully enjoy the texture lowers the score to 4.



Tightness (5/5)
If you are looking for tightness, the SIACs are the place to look for. The SIACs are designed to provide tightness all around the penis - they are about 6 inches long with a diameter just above the quarter inch. In addition, the SIAC case allows you to modify the suction by adjusting or removing completely the end cap. Without the end cap, it feels like fucking that 18 years old virgin. WORD OF CAUTION: If your girth (measurement of your penis circumference when erect) is above 5.5 inches, the SIAC could be too tight for you. There are individuals with those measurements that had reported discomfort and rashes when using the SIACs.  

 Likeness (4/5)
Once properly lubed, fucking the Lotus Lager feels pretty close to real vaginal sex. Unfortunately, the sleeve doesn't have any interior texture such as bumps or ridges, leaving all the stimulation to the size variation of the main canal. Close, but not exactly the same...

Versatility (4/5)
The size of the sleeve is perfect for both manual stroking and free hand use, but the case can make both operations kind of difficult and sometimes dangerous. The case has a smooth surface and when stroking is pretty normal that some lube leaks from the top end - especially when using it without the end cap. That makes the case slippery, provoking certain incidents where the SIAC simply slips out of the hand. When using it free hand, I had to be extremely careful of not thrusting too hard to avoid the texture to cave in into the case - exposing the hard plastic ring of the case. That ring is pretty sharp and can cause abrasions and cuts - something that ILF had tried to solve in later SIAC models.

Lubricant use (5/5)

This sleeve retains lube perfectly, requiring to reapply or re-wet thelube only in sessions longer than 30 minutes. Applying lube to the penis head and the entrance of the sleeve is required to avoid hurting yourself or damaging the sleeve.

Use (4/5)
As written above, the main issue with using and setting up this sleeve is the lube quantity and the force of the strokes.

Hygiene (5 / 5)
All Fleshlights are pretty easy to clean - just open a faucet with cold or warm water and allow the running water to flush the interior. Since all fleshlights are open ended sleeves, running water through them between 20 and 60 seconds is more than enough to clean them. Adding some alcohol after each use helps to avoid any mold or fungi to develop inside the canal.

Drying (3/5)
This is probably the Achilles heel of this toy - it requires between 5 to 12 hours to dry completely without using any fan or blower. Hanging the sleeve in the open air to dry takes time due to the chamber structure and especially because of the inverted node at the beginning of the sleeve. That node retains water and humidity, so if there is a lot of humidity in the air, expect to have your Lotus Lager hanging for a few hours.

Maintenance (4.5 / 5)
 The sleeve got disgustingly sticky after a few uses, something fixed by rubbing it with corn starch before storing it for a long time. To keep the toy in top condition, I cover it with corn starch whenever it is going to be stored for more than one week.

Tear and wear (5/5)
This was my first masturbation sleeve in a long time and it looks and feel just as brand new after 9 months of regular use. It has no visible tears as of today

Total score: 40.5 / 50

The Lotus Lager / Lady Lager SIAC is a good overall investment given that your penis measures less than 7 inches in length and / or 5.5 inches in girth.

Toys VS Women: What's better?

If you are asking that question, you are in a worst place than me. The obvious answer is WOMEN! Nothing can replace the reactions, feelings and the connection that you can experience with a real living woman on your bed.

But being honest, there are periods of my life that I prefer a sexual toy. Especially when talking about casual sex or one-night stands. Why? Well, let's say that there various reasons. Some of them are:

1. Sex toys are easier to deal with. If I want to fuck a sex toy, I only need to be hard and some lubricant and presto, I'm fucking a sex toy. With women I have to convince them first, buy them drinks, play the interest / flirt / relationship game, and them MAYBE I would have a chance to get some that night. Which led to the next number...
2. Sex toys are cheaper. Male sex toys are available starting at less than $10 (not very good ones, but some of them do the trick) to life-like sex dolls costing $7,000. Most high level masturbation sleeves are in the $30 to $60 range: less than the cost of a movie date. If you just want to bust a nut, one of these toys is a better investment than a night out with a woman you like or hiring a hooker (which is illegal in most states). 
3. Sex toys don't get STDs. You fuck a sex toy and you are practicing the closest thing to real safe sex that you can have. The worst disease you can get from a sex toy would be an allergic reaction, a rash from not using enough lubricant, or an urinary infection thanks to bad maintenance of the toy. Those are nothing compared to getting chlamydia, HPV, HIV, or HEP-C.  Even if you use another guy's sex toy (given that it is clean), you have less chances of getting a disease. Again, I'm talking here about casual sex or one-night stands. And by the way, I had NEVER used another guy's sex toy - I consider that gross and really unnecessary. But still that is safer than sharing a woman with another guy.
4. Sex toys don't get pregnant. Do I have to explain this one?
5. After sex with a toy, you don't have to witness post-coital crap. Maybe it is because my experiences with women, but after having sex with some of them, I had witnessed some post coital crap that had bothered me more than anything else in my life. From women who cried after sex, to ones that don't want to leave (or that don't want you to leave), to others who basically throw you out of the bed, without forgetting the one or two that after a fuck, are already imagining a life with you. Maybe I had a lot of crazy women in my life, but I had those (and other cases). Honestly, after sex the most I can tolerate is cuddling and talking - no crying, psychotic behavior, or psychoanalysis sessions. With sex toys, once I'm done, I clean up and can continue with my life. No guilt, no regrets, no bullshit to deal with.
6. Sex toys don't get jealous. I have an ottoman full of masturbation helpers - and they live together like good sisters. I have the variety I want without having problems. Try that with women...
7. Sex toys don't talk. I like the sound of a moaning woman, especially when I am the one making her moan, but that isn't what I am referring with this item. I'm referring to the talking women do about their lovers. If you think that women don't talk about their sexual partners, you are ready for a rude, very rude awakening. Women talk about their sexual partners in more explicit ways than men do. Women will talk with their "girlfriends" about the size of your penis, how you used it, where you fucked her, what condom you used, if you smelled, or if you needed one of the multiple magic pills available out there to help us perform. They will even talk about the quantity, quality, and flavor of your semen. If you had a stellar performance, great... but if the performance was bad, be prepared to be blackballed in that circle...

Now, as I wrote before, NOTHING can substitute a woman on my bed. But only when I am in a relationship with her. If there is no relationship, I prefer to fuck a rubber / silicone / elastomeric gel  vagina.
