Adam & Eve’s Prostate Pro 5
A Review by Erika Icon
I
love it when I get toys in the mail for guys. My guy friends get all geeked.
Remember my one friend that I gave the blow-up Bree Olsen Love Doll to? Well my
same friend, The Pirate, scored yet again. I just want to say it’s not easy to
give a man a prostate toy. The first response is always “this shit is for gay
guys.” And then I inform them that this is so not true—the toy market for
straight men has grown something like 400% in the last few years. Must be all
the single lonely guys that are just tired of chasing tail or maybe they just
can’t get enough. Who knows?
So according to The Pirate,
the Prostate Pro 5 is pretty magical. The multi-speed controller is something
I’ve personally never seen on a “P-Toy” and he agreed that it was cool. But, he
also thought it reminded him of a vibrator. The toy forced him to do some
research (which entailed calling me, (the former sex advice columnist) to learn
about what the p-spot is. He liked that he could use it alone or with Miss
Pirate (or his saucy on-the-side wench) and was able to have a big “O” with
little to no work. Turning up the speed controller helped and moving it around
in different positions until he got to the spot is what worked. He gave it a 4
out of 5 thumbs up and wants me to let you know that it’s so not gay and to go
get one. Really. And he might be tempted to take it in the shower or bath, but
probably not.
Adam & Eve’s Taffy Tickler Glow To
Go
A Review by Erika Icon
When
I saw this toy, I’ll admit I got more than a little happy. My first thought was
it’s so small and I can use it in my car—it has a thing that you can just
connect it up to your keychain. But then I was thinking everyone would know what
it was if they saw it. Then I remembered that everyone knows I’m a freak and
strangers can bite my butt if they see it and have some judgment.
The exciting thing about the
toy is the batteries are already in there. Yep, three calculator batteries. I
like it when I can open the package and go ahead and use the toy. I did bring it
in the car and tried to discreetly use it in rush hour traffic. I don’t carry
around lube, so I had to get excited on my own. I will say this little toy did
not disappoint. The nubs were awesome and I love the pink and green raver
colors. It also glows in the dark, which is cool because even though it’s small,
I can always find it. And it definitely makes sitting in traffic much more
pleasurable.
The only problem I had with
this toy is that it takes three calculator batteries. They are expensive and not
easy to get in correctly. Fortunately, it hasn’t needed a battery change, yet.
Also, the $16.95 price tag seems a bit high for something so small and
innocuous. It makes a great gift for a bachelorette party or for an uptight
friend.
Pipedream Extreme’s Cum Sponge
Masturbator
A Review by Erika Icon
Another
guy toy. Masturbators are much easier to get guys to use. The Pirate got this
one too. He saw “Celeste” on the cover and the giant close up of a pussy and a
rabbit/vibrator and he was totally down to give it a spin. I don’t believe
“Celeste” is an actual porn chick, but she is quite a naked hottie sucking on
her index finger and playing with her vibe toy with her legs spread wide open.
Essentially, it’s a
masturbator that is made of a sponge and meant to be disposed of after one use.
It comes with lube that you oil it up with. Then, you look at the pic of
“Celeste” (or form a mental one of some hottie in your head) and go to town. The
Pirate tells me he lasted less than 10 minutes and his orgasm was pretty sweet.
He thought about using it a second time, but didn’t want to wash it out or put
the Little Pirate in there again without washing it.
The price tag is under $4,
which is a good thing, since it’s supposed to be used only once. It would be
nice to get multiple uses and it’s not the most environmentally conscious toy.
It’s great for a gag gift at a bachelor party or to anonymously leave on your
uptight boss’ desk for a little afternoon delight—just don’t get caught, because
you’ll have some serious explaining to do. I’m sure they could also market this
as a gay male toy, if they put some steamy, chiseled Latin guy on the cover
instead.
Secret Diary of a
Call Girl
By
Anonymous - (Grand Central Publishing)
A Review
by Erika Icon
“Secret
Diary of a Call Girl” was originally titled “Belle de Jour” (or in English
“Beauty of the Day/”) Although the HBO series is a hit, the book falls flat -
I’m not sure how it became a “celebrated and steamy international bestseller” as
it is touted on the cover.
Maybe I’m
just a little jaded, but this book seemed really tame. Even though it’s written
anonymously, there’s not much to remain anonymous about, unless this woman
didn’t want her family and/or friends to know - and if that were the case she
could have used a nom de plume.
I will
say the first couple of chapters were pretty riveting, but it’s all down hill
from there. It’s interesting that she got into the business by going home with a
couple and the man slipped her a wad of cash, as her cab pulled away. I also
find it interesting that despite her college education, she was unable to hold
down a job, even as a receptionist or assistant. So, being a hooker or kept
woman made sense, in her case. I also think it’s cool she’s bisexual and writes
about that.
But
overall, it seems like she’s hiding something. The stories of her clients and
sexual exploits leave much (OK, a lot) to the imagination. It was kind of like
reading the Eartha Kitt bio - you expect this woman to let you know all the
dirt, but it’s more like a nun’s tale. Also, the plot line about her boyfriend
(who she refers to as “The Boy”) and how that went down really isn’t believable.
And the fact that her male friends have numbers and letter combinations (A1, A2,
A3 and A4) instead of using even made up names makes it confusing as to who is
who.
I paid
full price for the book, which was $13.99 and definitely not worth it. I would
suggest watching it on HBO, it is much more sexy and not a waste of time
Adam & Eve’s Bubble
Plug
A Review
by Erika Icon
When
the package of toys to review came, I pulled this out first and was a little
scared. It was in a giant box that was far larger than the actual toy. You’d
think the thing was Godzilla-sized from the size of the box. When I took it out,
I got happy.
Adam &
Eve’s Bubble Plug has a 7-inch shaft which is nice in a man and in a toy. You
can use either end—the bulb or graduated beads. It can be used in your ass or
snatch. I tried the snatch. The ass would be better with a partner, which I
didn’t have on the day I went to town with this little guy.
When you
first take it in your hands you’ll love how it feels. I got turned on before I
even used it with how soft, flexible and good it felt. I liked the graduated end
because the bulb was good for a double orgasm of the clit kind. Yes. And, it’s
black, which is nice for a little fantasy action. Being black, it’s very classy
and if someone found it, it wouldn’t scream trouble since it’s not hot pink, I’m
just saying…
It’s also
waterproof, but I wouldn’t recommend any lube toy to be used in water, since the
water can make the lube disappear. Trust me, it won’t be a disappearance that
inspires magic.
Another
use I would recommend is for gay men or guys that like a little more than a
tongue up their ass. It will really get them off. Not a lot of toys outside of
giant dildos for the men. But this toy could double for a man or a woman. You’ll
want to clean it off after each use and/or insertion into new body parts. Keep
it clean and everything will be OK.
The
Bubble Plug toy is a little pricey at almost $25, but it’s unusual and not like
anything else you’re likely to find in your local toy or adult shop.
Adam & Eve’s Double
Delicious Mini Dual Dong
A Review
by Erika Icon
What
girl wouldn’t like a double-ended dong?!
Usually
these toys are too long and huge to use alone, but not this one. That’s what the
Adam & Eve’s Double Delicious Mini Dual Dong was intended for. I also like that
the two ends are diametrically different — one is ribbed and the other is nubbed
or bubbly. It’s flexible and very easy to orgasm with, which is a rarity about
any toy (including vibrators) on the market.
I really
liked the tactile feel of the toys, as well. It’s translucent and jelly-like.
Seriously, I wanted to put it in my mouth and suck on it. I’m sure any man would
love to see that trick after it’s been in my snatch. Or maybe I could get him to
suck on it. But, I digress. Another great thing is it requires no batteries.
It says
it’s waterproof, but I haven’t had a chance to use it in the bath — maybe
another adventure. Although using toys in water that require lube is risky
business/ Another thing I didn’t try was using this anally, which you can do. It
might be a little large to start, so you might have to train your ass to accept
a toy this size. Tthe beginning of the ribbed end could work as a start (it’s
graduated in size and so is the bubbled end).
The under
$20 price tag is great, too. You can get one for yourself or give it as a gift
to your woman or your best friend at her bachlorette party (or if she’s in need
of toys to pleasure herself because she’s got no man or prospects).
Adam & Eve Kayden
Frosted Ice Silicone Cock Rings
A Review
by Erika Icon
Many
guys think cock rings are gay and won’t even consider using them. I believe this
a huge mistake. The cock rings can make a man last longer, have harder erections
and if they have nubs or other extras, they can give the woman more of an
orgasm. I believe it is orgasmic magic. But this also depends on the materials
used to make a cock ring. Metal ones can be cold, hard to fit (depending on a
guy’s size) and scary to the straight men. Silicone or other stretchy material
are amazing, it will fit most guys’ penises (unless they are teeny tiny or
Godzilla-sized).
The Adam
& Eve Kayden Frosted Ice Silicone Cock Rings are amazing. Not only are they
silicone and super stretchy but they glow in the dark (woo hoo!). They are
reusable and definitely flipped my switch (AKA my clit or super joy button) in
the orgasm department. So, everybody is happy and that’s the key to sexual
gratification for everyone.
Here is
an important tip. If you’re guy who are new to cock rings, start out at five or
10 minutes. Once you become a pro, you’ll want to give your dick a rest after 20
minutes of use. And if you start using one of these, your woman might need a
break after 20 minutes are hardcore sex.
At a price tag of less than
$10, these are a great bargain and highly recommended. Way better than ponying
up a wad of cash for Viagra or Cialis—or worse yet, having your babe laugh at
you for being a 2 or 5- minute man. Seriously.
Sinner Takes All: A
Memoir of Love and Porn
By Tera Patrick with Carrie Borzilla (Gotham
Books)
A Review by Erika Icon
I
have to admit, before I read “Sinner Takes All” I wasn’t a fan of Tera
Patrick—she is an exotic beauty who seemed aloof, fake and too thin for tits
that big. Despite a lot of whining that goes on, I felt the book was genuine,
self-reflective and actually interesting. The weird thing was there were things
in Patrick’s life that paralleled mine (dating someone famous who doesn’t
appreciate you, depression, anxiety, etc.)—I never thought I would have anything
in common with this woman.
“Sinner Takes All” is a short book—just shy
of 300 pages and has tips on sex, marriage, how to sign a contract with a porn
studio and more. I also liked how Evan Seinfeld, her ex-husband, wrote sections
of the book as well.
I have to say that after reading the book
(which took me less than a day), I had much more respect for Tera Patrick. Tera
took herself from nothing to a major player in the industry and battled
depression, anxiety, drugs and alcohol. And regarding the break-up of her
marriage, I felt she wrote about it with class, dignity and grace—she could have
really slammed him (and changed the book), but she chose the truth, instead.
Plus, she seemed to show all the sides of him—good, bad and kind of ugly.
Of course the book has the “Cinderall Factor”
with her whirlwind romance with Seinfeld, how quickly they got married, all the
wonderful things he said to her and their multiple wedding ceremonies—this will
either make you want to gag or give you hope. I chose the latter.
“Sinner Takes All: A Memoir of Love and Porn”
is a good, easy read and a book you’ll want to take to bed with you.
Adam & Eve’s Wireless
Personal Pleasurizer
A Review by Erika Icon
OK,
first off, this toy is pink—that is a very good thing in a toy, for me. I love
pink. And, it’s easy to find the toy in the bed or on the floor.
I’m so ready to pop the batteries in and give
it a whirl. But, it takes AAA batteries—who has those lying around the house?!
Not me. Toys should be AA, only. I had to trek to the store and forage for
batteries, before the fun could begin.
After running out to buy four batteries (and
the lady at the counter was trying to get me to buy more since they had a
two-for-one deal—if only she really knew what the batteries were for), I lay
down on the bed and was ready for some action. The toy is an odd shape (it looks
like a weird vice grip, Venus Flytrap plant or something), but it was soft and
pliable and I was able to maneuver it for the kind of “O” that one needs at the
end of the day.
The Wireless Personal Pleasurizer toy retails
for under $25 and is worth even more. It has a button to push for intensity
(high, medium and low), which is much better than twisting the bottom, like you
have to do with most vibrators. Seriously, this toy is going to potentially
replace my all-time favorite Doc Johnson Lucid Dreams Vibe—and I never thought I
would ever say that in a million years! Go get one! This toy gets10-plus stars.
Adam & Eve Anal
Pleaser
A Review by Erika Icon
Adam
& Eve’s Anal Pleaser is an amazing anal toy—why, because you can have insane
hands-free fun. I have to say this is my favorite anal toy on the market—I may
have to stock up and get multiples. The suction cup on the bottom allows you to
adhere it to a surface (like a table) and go to town. You don’t need a
partner—just lube it up (well) and play. Another great feature is the fact that
it’s graduated—the top is small (3/4 of an inch) and it gets bigger (for a
maximum of 1 ½ inches) towards the bottom. The soft jelly-like plastic makes it
flexible and extremely pleasurable—who invented those hard ass toys anyways? You
can make a game of using it and training your ass to be able to take the whole
thing. The whole toy measures about 4 inches, so that’s some nice deep anal play
for the anal professionals out there. If you and your man have been talking
about trying anal—this toy will take you from beginner to pro. It’s a great toy
to use solo or have a shared experience. But if you’re feeling really
adventurous, you can also hook it into a strap-on and use it on your guy (or
your girl). And, it’s under $15, so it’s really affordable. Wait are you waiting
for? Go get yours now!
Adam &
Eve Wicked Ponytail
(Anal Plug with Rubber Flogger)
A Review by
Erika Icon
Anal toys are
always fun and this one is no exception. First off, the aesthetics are great—a
black butt plug with a black and red whip. The plug itself is super soft and
just the right size for pleasure and great for the anal novice who wants to jump
into the world of anal (without a whole lot of pain). It’s also fun to walk
around with it and have the tail hanging out of your ass—plus, it’s also fun to
keep in while having sex and have your man pull it out later for a little extra
pleasure (and you might have even forgotten it was there if the sex is hot
enough). I didn’t try it in the bath yet, but it says it’s waterproof—and I’m
sure that could be exciting, too. However you choose to play with it, just don’t
forget the lube—anal lube is always best. The only letdown was the flogger. The
flogger is a good way to pull it out of your ass, but I don’t recommend using it
as a whip—it’s really short. You can, however, use it to tease a bit before it
gets used for anal action. For under $20, the Wicked Ponytail is a good buy.
And, it’s cute enough and makes a great gift for a bachelorette party. Invite me
and I might explain how to use it.
Adam
& Eve’s Cherry Glitter Dream Dildo
A Review by
Erika Icon
First off, I
have to say that I love the red glittery color—it made me happy just looking at.
I couldn’t wait to use it. When I actually went to use it, I took it out of the
package (which had 2 hot girls in Catholic school dresses and one was licking a
lollipop to further get me excited) and was impressed with the quality—the jelly
dong material, flexibility, hole to hold it (firmly) and g-spotter feature.
The Cherry
Glitter Dream Dildo doesn’t just look good—it is a great toy. It’s a really good
size (not to big, just right). It feels really good, almost real. And the
g-spotter really is a nice touch and gives you that “extra bang” you’re looking
for. I did this little trick where I had the dildo inside of me, the clitoral
nub by my clit and then I turned the vibrator on—talk about a Big O!
But vibrators
aside, this did get me off, it’s an amazing toy. It’s also aesthically pleasing,
soft to the touch (and one it’s inside of you) and gets you the orgasm you
crave. It’s also just the right size—unless you date a porn star, this dildo is
probably a little bigger than your man, which is perfect. Too many dildos are
Godzilla-sized, but not this one. Thankfully. Also, at a price tag under $20,
it’s a great buy. Toys are really expensive and tend to not last. This dildo
seems to be well made and I hope it will go the distance and last and last,
despite the fact it’s going to get a lot of use.
Adam
& Eve Clitoral Kisser
A Review by
Erika Icon
When it
arrived in the mail, I had high hopes for this toy. Sadly, it let me down. First
of all, it was nearly impossible for me to put the batteries in correctly
(there’s no diagram inside to show you which direction the batteries go)—I had
to get one of my guy friends who is a McGyver protégé to get it going for me. I
even let him watch me use it—thanks, Todd. And it uses the dreaded AAA
batteries—fortunately, I had exactly 2 left.
So getting
down to business…at first the vibe felt good on my clit, but after 10-plus
minutes of working it, I was unable to get a good orgasm or the even the Big O.
With a clit toy, that should always be something that automatically happens. I
tried it on my bed, even though it says it’s waterproof—I can’t imagine it being
any better in the tub. And, I’m not willing to try it, since it did nothing for
me on land. (Insert pirate arrrgh here.)
Anyways, I
don’t recommend this toy—if I were to give it a rating it would be one or two
stars out of a possible 10 (and that’s being generous). If you have hours to
monkey with this vibe, you might get an amazing orgasm. But who wants to wait
that long—it’s like being with a clueless virgin who can barely find your pussy
And with a $29.95 price tag, it’s really not worth it. Adam & Eve has a great
selection of g-spot and clit vibes on their site and with most of them you can’t
go wrong. I would say look there for something better.
Don
Wands Treeze Wood Butt Plug
A Review by Erika Icon
A wooden butt plug — who would have thought it
could ever be a reality?! And without splinters in your ass — yes, it’s true! It
was an amazing shape and not too big or small (even though it’s considered
large), plus it’s quite shockingly comfortable.
The wood grain design is a treat to view and one
of my friends asked me if she could put it in her garden (well, that was before
I put it in my ass —not that she would ever know after a good wash). I truly
haven’t seen anything like this anywhere and was very impressed. If you’re
looking to train your ass for anal sex, this would be a good item to purchase.
It’s not always and easy feat and it’s a whole lot pleasurable with something
like this.
The price tag is a bit high, about $40. But the
quality and workmanship will give you quite a long time of pleasure, if you take
care of it, thoroughly clean it after each use, use silicone or water-based
lubes and store it in the handy padded pouch that comes with it. Enjoy!
Don
Wands Treeze Wood Vibrator
A Review by
Erika Icon
The idea of phthalates-free, eco friendly toys
hasn’t been toyed with all that much. So, it’s about time that a product like
this came around. A wood vibrator is a bit on the scary side, but this toy is
ultra smooth and splinter-free. And the design of it is amazing — beautiful
stained wood in multiple colors will make you want to display it as art rather
than use it. Then again, I felt the same way about my Hello Kitty vibe,
initially. And best of all, when the motor in the vibe goes, you can replace it
— that’s worth many stars in my book and less waste in our landfills (where many
dead sex toys go to die).
And, if all these things weren’t enough, the
Treeze wood vibe has got some awesome ridges in it, which will double your
pleasure many times over. And the Wet Lube included was a nice touch. When I was
done, I put it in the decadent padded pouch and neatly slipped it under my bed
for further adventures. Rarely am I blown over by a sex toy, but this is
definitely one of those times. The only downside to this toy is the price,
almost $80. But, if you think of how long it will last and not need to be
replaced, the price tag makes sense.
Adam
& Eve’s Cyberskin Dual Slider
A Review by
Erika Icon
Most cock rings are only for the shaft, but this
one covers your dick and balls while giving your female a little rise of her
own. The design of the Cyberskin Dual Slider is a bit confusing, so it’s a
really good thing that there was a good-sized photo on the back of the package.
It claims to “please both partners equally” — I
disagree with that completely. Why, because it really didn’t do much for me.
And, it displeased my partner that he had to sit and connect the dots as to how
to get this bad boy on. The top bullet was for me and the bottom one was for his
balls — it’s a pretty lame vibration on both ends, not “toe curling” as the
package claims. Whoever writes the copy for these toys is a genius.
It’s also really annoying when you go to replace
the batteries — each of the vibes (there are two) require 3 watch batteries
each. I will say the packaging is nice, the look of the toy and color are quite
keen and it is easy to clean. Outside of that, it’s not really worth the almost
$30 price tag.
Adam
& Eve’s Bree Olson Kitten With A Whip
A Review by
Erika Icon
I looked at the box and thought “aw, how cute,”
but this little kit is serious, naughty business. The whip is pretty fierce and
has a good, sharp snap when it’s used. I was thinking it was going to be quite
whimpy. Plus, the strap makes it easier to hold and control. Of course, operator
skill is important, too. The blindfold is very comfortable, satin-lined and has
two straps which keep it on your face during the action (and also is good for
sleeping). Plus, the aesthetic of both items is quite nice — purple brocade is
pretty plush.
This would definitely be termed a “beginner’s
BDSM set”. If this is you and you’d like to experiment with a little spanking
and domination, this is a good starting place.. If you want to be involved in
this lifestyle, you’ll want to add paddles, a real cat ‘o nine tails and other
devices, at some point.
Bondage purists will laugh at this kit, but
vanilla couples will be totally into it, especially with a price point of under
$25. I’m sure this will fly off the physical and preverbal Internet shelves —
just watch.
The
Blowguard
A Review by Erika Icon
When this toy came in the mail, I was all what
the fuck? Being the Queen on BJ (yes, I have a crown), my first thought was what
was the need. If you’re not good at oral, it’s not going to help you. But if you
are looking for something a little extra, this puppy could be just the ticket
you’re looking for. It’s under $30, so you if you don’t like it, you won’t be
blowing a mint to purchase it.
The blowguard can be used on a man or woman one
on one or in a 69 position—I know this because I checked out their site with the
very informative x-rated video. I tried it with a pretty famous director and he
wasn’t impressed — I thought it was OK. Maybe, we’re spoiled and are used to
mind-blowing oral. It also feels awkward in your mouth, since it doesn’t exactly
mold to your teeth/gums. It was invented by a dentist, so the retainer and mini
bullet won’t crack your teeth (this was a huge concern with me). The clean-up is
easy — wash it with soap and water like any other toy.
Despite all the hype, I wasn’t impressed and
doubt it will be a permanent part of my sexual repertoire. It doesn’t live up to
the tagline of “taking the job out of blowjobs”.
The
Anal Sex Position Guide: The Best Positions for Easy, Exciting, Mind-Blowing
Pleasure
Author:
Tristan Taormino
Publisher:
Quiver
A Review by Troy Michael
Award winning author,
columnist, editor, and sex educator, Tristan Taormino has recently released her
fourth book “The Anal Sex Position Guide: The Best Positions for Easy, Exciting,
and Mind-Blowing Pleasure.” The first thing you will notice about this book is
how colorful and well laid out it is with its text and beautiful artistic
images.
Once you delve into this book
about anal sex, which was once a hush hush topic, and for some it still is, it
is a fun and informative read. The book is broken down into several
chapters/positions, including anal sex for men, and features a pro and con list
for said positions. Not only does Taormino break everything down for you, she
writes in the perfect style to make a person feel comfortable, which makes the
book not only beneficial to people who are entertaining the anal sex idea, but
to the ones who are active in anal sex already.
There is a plenty of
educational information here but Taormino doesn’t make it intimidating or
embarrassing, two topics which rise to the surface when people speak about anal
sex.
With more celebrities coming
out saying they like anal sex like Anne Hathaway and Denise Richards to name a
few, the sex act is becoming more accepted, which makes “The Anal Sex Position
Guide: The Best Positions for Easy, Exciting, Mind-Blowing Pleasure” a perfect
tutorial for all those ready to take the leap or want to learn about the sexual
practice of safe anal sex.
Opening
Up: A Guide to Creating & Sustaining Open Relationships
Author:
Tristan Taormino
Company:
Cleis Press
A Review by Erika Icon
When I received this book in
the mail, I had to roll my eyes. Although I work in the industry and am very
open-minded and highly sexually charged, I’m not into open relationships. Little
did I know I had participated in that lifestyle in the past — dating and
sleeping with multiple people and not wanting to be serious counts as an open
relationship.
Wow, was that a slap in the
face. Outside of that, this was definitely not my lifestyle, but I have a huge
respect for Tristan Taormino, so I was willing to hear what she had to say on
the topic. Taormino herself has been in an open relationship for the last seven
years, so I guess that makes her a bit of an expert. That, and the fact that she
interviewed a plethora of people and gave them surveys to complete.
The best part about “Opening
Up” is Taormino looks at everything from all angles. She begins by telling you
reasons not to be involved in this type of lifestyle with chapter three
addressing if an open relationship is for you or not. She asks you why you want
it and reasons you shouldn’t enter into one. She even spells out the hidden
motives. Additionally she covers the different types of relationships including
swinging (going with your partner to social events and having sex with other
women and/or couples), polyamory (having a primary partner, but having relations
with others), solo polyamory (the category I fell under), polyfidelity (multiple
members living together) and having a relationship where one partner is
monogamous and the other is non-monogamous. And if you decide you want to live
this lifestyle, she discusses the pitfalls (jealousy, possessiveness,
resentment), safe sex, when things change and designing your relationship
(rules, contracts, frequency, geography, etc.).
By the time you finish
“Opening Up,” you will know if this is something you want to try this lifestyle.
It’s not for the weak at heart or those of us who have been conditioned to
believe monogamous relationships are the norm. Personally, I had a long term
relationship with a man and we had encounters with more than a few women—this
led him to believe it was OK to cheat. Yes, we should have had more boundaries.
But, trying to be with more than one person at a time when you’re in a serious
relationship is asking for trouble. I think I’ll prefer to believe in
Tinkerbelle and that monogamy with one man can be my future. It’s definitely
worth the read — you will learn something about relationships and how to make
them work.
Adam
& Eve’s Sexy Shooter Dildo
A
Review by Erika Icon
Are
you a cum fanatic? If you are, you will love this toy. I had to laugh
when it arrived in the mail. Most girls want nothing to do with a guy’s
jizz, even the porn chicks. Adam & Eve’s Sexy Shooter is a great
dildo—it’s the perfect size of 6 inches (as in not a Godzilla dong, like
so many other dildos) and it’s jelly-like soft (but still hard enough)
and stretchy. As a dildo, it’s the tops and lives up to “realistic penis
head with a ribbed shaft for extra sensation.” I filled it up with water
and I don’t think it “squirted at just the right moment” like the box
says. Otherwise, it would have cum when I did.
You
have to manually squeeze the bulb at the bottom—it doesn’t do this
action on its own volition. And, when I’m orgasming big time, I don’t
want to have to think about anything else. Know what I mean? You can
fill it up with lube, like the informative box suggests, but that could
be quite messy. The cleanup of this toy is also a hassle—you not only
have to clean the outside, but the inside (shaft and all). Plus, it has
to dry in separate pieces.
I
think this toy would be a good gift for a bachelorette party—it’s more
of a gag gift than anything else, maybe, because it has that “novelty”
thing about it. And, it will definitely get a snicker or two from other
party goers—well, the women who aren’t frigid and pent up, but the look
of horror on their faces will be fun, too. Plus, it’s under $30, so it’s
not expensive. I think this might be a hit with gay guys, too. But, I’ll
have to do some research on that one…
The
Flesh Light
A
Review by Troy
You’ve seen it endorsed by “The Flesh Light Girls” aka porn performers,
and the toy was even referenced in the major motion picture Zack and
Miri Make a Porno. It’s no wonder that the Flesh Light is the top
selling sex toy with over two million sold. I don’t know if I would call
the male masturbator revolutionary, but it is cool and serves its
purpose. With the option to build your own, there are over 100
coronations to suit your tastes of getting off.
When
we got the discreet box from the Flesh Light gang, it contained the
Pearl Case with the original vagina sleeve. On the website, it is
described “Our best selling masturbation sleeve and a must have for
first-time buyers, the Original offers a smooth, slightly wider canal
that won't send you over the edge too soon.” The 10” long, ¾” canal
diameter is soft and durable, but I was really surprised how heavy and
bulky it was, even out of the plastic case. The first time I used it I
was like “this is it?” I didn’t know what all the hype was about.
However after a couple more times it got better each time.
The
Flesh Light is a personal sex toy and the ability to change the sleeves
is a really ingenious idea, but I don’t know if warrants all the hype it
is getting. Don’t get me wrong, it feels good, it gets you off, but I
couldn’t be like some of the guys on the Flesh Light website using it
multiple times a day or week and professing their undying love for it.
Adam
& Eve Pink Lips Pussy Stroker
A
Review by Troy
We
finally get a toy for the fella’s from Adam & Eve with their latest
Cyberskin treat called Pink Lips Pussy Stroker. When we first got the
package it sparked my interest and at first glance I thought there was
no way my cock would fit in the tiny little pin hole just past the
initial pink pussy.
The
Cyberskin is very soft and easy to handle unless you get lube on the
outside and you are trying to grip it. Trust me. You will need the lube
to fit your hard dick past the pussy lips. Once you do, it has a soft
sensation tight enough to grip your cock with every pump. The
hypoallergenic and latex-free Cyberskin measures in at seven inches, so
if you are an average sized male you are good to go, but it seems
smaller to me. There is also a small hole at the back end, which if you
a big cummer, it will overflow or fly out the back. Obviously, if you
are well hung, you will need a little more room (see Flesh Light review
above), but for the most part the soft ribbed walls milk your cock
nicely.
The
cleanup is simple and easy, thanks to both open ends and at just under
30 bucks it is a good deal to get you off.
Bree Olsen
Glitter Glam Strap-On Harness & Dong
A Review by Erika Icon
OK, I’ll admit it—when I got this in
the mail, I did a little dance. I have ALWAYS wanted to try a strap on
and compare it to a “real” dick. This set is really nice—the dong is
sparkly with glitter and it’s a jelly dong. It’s soft but firm and
really gets the job done (but, more about that later). I was a little
weirded out by the purple color of both the harness and dong, but I got
over that pretty quickly (just had to get rid of the Miss Piggy visions,
who was a big lover of purple). The harness goes from really small to
big, which is great for the BBW crowd and the anorexic model types.
I’m sure you want to know how I
tested it. After placing an ad for a couple on a site owned by a man
named Craig, this very hot couple showed up on my doorstep. Of course,
there were drinks and then onto the bedroom. She rode me pretty hard
with it and I was impressed with her beginner skills (it was the first
time for both of us, using a strap-on). Her boyfriend watched and then
got into the action. This is one of the best toys I have ever used and
you should definitely run right out and get one. With a $39.95 price
tag, it’s a steal. And if sex with a woman scares you, try using it on
your boyfriend’s ass. According to Details magazine, a good
percentage of men will admit to liking women play with their ass. Of
course, they would never admit this to us women in person. Try
experimenting either way—you will be glad you did! It might even replace
having a man for you. Kidding.
Adam & Eve’s
Essentials Toy Cleaner
A Review by Erika Icon
I’m very naughty and I will admit
it—I’m talking about cleaning my toys. It’s a simple fact that you
should be using something to clean you toys so you don’t get bacteria
and/or an infection from using and/or sharing your toys with others.
Like most of the population, I’m lazy and will use a toy sometimes 2 and
3 times before cleaning it. I know, ewwww. But, A&E’s Essentials Toy
Cleaner is a no-brainer. Spray the toy and wipe it down with a towel.
It’s almost too easy. And, you can use it on any kind of toy—rubber,
glass, plastic, etc.
What I liked was it’s not oily and
the smell is pretty non-existent (no florals or alcohol here). It’s a
decent size and almost stealthy (like you could put it in your medicine
cabinet or on your nightstand and no one would be any wiser). Also,
using this is way better than putting your toys in the sink and washing
them—not just for the lazy factor, but too much water can actually
destroy your toys. Really. For $6.95, there are many reasons (re-read
above, because there will be a quiz) as to why you should buy this
product.
Adam & Eve’s Prostate Massager
A Review by Erika Icon
Men are very resistant to toys, even if
they’re going to get them off. I asked a few of my male friends to try
this and report back—and, I’ve never seen a man bolt away from me so
quickly. Luckily Mr. H (he wants to remain anonymous), took a gamble on
this vibrating toy. As I handed it to him, we both marveled at how much
it looked like a regular old vibrator. And, it could probably double as
that, if you and your girl wanted to share this toy. Make sure you wash
it off, first, before exchange it back and forth.
Mr. H reported back that it was an
excellent vibe and ride—he enjoyed the varying speeds but wasn’t into
the nylon cords that just kept getting in the way. He used it in the
perineum area between the balls and ass, choosing not to put it in his
ass—either use will work, but getting a man to put anything up his ass
is as effective as asking him to take out the trash. Well, it’s true.
Mr. H said he would use it again in the future, but it would never
replace women in his life. Yes, sex is his only vice.
The Prostate Massager usually sells for
$14.95, but Adam & Eve has a deal for $9.95 right now. If you want to
get one for your man, I would suggest the element of surprise. Tell him
to close his eyes, whip it out and use it in the perineum area. Once he
gets a load of the mind-blowing orgasm, maybe you can negotiate ass use.
Good luck!
Adam & Eve’s
Inflatable Position Master
A Review by Erika Icon
You can get pretty creative with this
toy. One of my fuck buddies and I used the Inflatable Position Master
and he bound my hands when we used it. He used the handles on the edges
to attach the restraints to. I also put on the free black mask that came
with it. It’s very soft and you’d never know it was inflatable to start
with (not like those cheesy beds that hurt your back). When we switched
and I got on top, he put it behind his back. Although we were on the
bed, it has a whole other comfort level.
There a like a million positions you
can do with this toy and several of them are actually pictured on the
box. It would be nice if the guy and girl on the box came with it—but, I
digress…this toy is worth the $29.95 price tag, but Adam & Eve are
selling it for $24.95 these days. You can deflate it and take it with
you on trips (and it’s discreet) or keep it lying around the house or
under the bed. Go figure, a practical and useful toy! Go get one. Now!
Adam & Eve’s Bree
Olson Rawhide Hottie Doll
A Review by Erika Icon
Blow-up dolls can be one man’s fantasy while at the same time being the
butt of a comedian’s jokes. I have always wanted one, but of course,
they’re for men. Imagine my surprise when the Bree Olson Rawhide Hottie
Doll appeared in my mailbox.
I
want to let you know this is one of the best representations of a porn
star in doll form—she has a face that looks just like Miss Olson (it’s
some keen graphics here). It’s not exact, but if you squint or slightly
close your eyes, you will really believe you are fucking Bree. She also
has what is labeled on the box as “extra hard life-like hard nipples—I’d
have to agree with this one, as I got a handful of one of her breasts
and became a little excited. And the accessories…this doll comes with a
removable halter top, skirt and cowgirl hat—you can actually undress
your hottie and have your way with her.
For
the actual fuckability of the doll, I gave her to my friend, Pirate
Pete. After a little 3-hole action, he informed me that her holes are
indeed tight, but are catered for a penis no larger than 2 inches (not
being able to get your dick all the way in is a common problem in love
dolls). He can now tell his friends that he has straddled Bree Olson’s
pussy with a straight face. And, he’s fallen madly in love with her and
drives around in his classic Mercedes with her in the passenger seat and
brought her to a party as his date (all the guys were jealous).
With
a $39.95 price tag, you’ll want to pick the Bree Olson Rawhide Hottie
Doll for yourself or bring it to the next bachelor party you attend.
It’s the must-have toy for men. But, don’t forget the lube—you’ll need
it! Doll also comes with a patch repair kit (include you spring a leak)
and detailed instructions on its use and cleaning. Get yours today.
Adam & Eve’s
Temptations Couples’ Thong
A Review by Erika Icon
Over
the last 10 years, the thong has come to symbolize smoldering sexuality
for women. Adam & Eve have taken the thing to new heights with their
unique faux leather/pleather Temptations Couples’ Thong.
The
thong is adjustable but it only will fit a woman who is about a size
large. Sadly, I’m a smallish BBW, so it wasn’t very comfortable for me
to wear. But, the pleasure of the double set of beads on my labia and
rubbing against my man’s shaft made me forget all about the physical
comfort level. The double beads are amazing and replace the crotch area
with a new level of fun. It’s well constructed and should give you both
many hours of pleasure, so you can cum and cum again. It was an easy
clean-up and ready for reuse, which is always a plus in any sex
accessory.
If
you are a guy, this is a toy you should pick up not only for your girl,
but for you, too. Yes, there are toys that can provide pleasure for you
both—not to mention it will look pretty hot on your woman. And at a
$14.95 price, it won’t break the bank. Right now Adam & Eve are
featuring it on their website for $9.95—saving you $5 you can use
towards lube (which you will need for this item).
Adam & Eve’s Do Me
Ducky
Review by Erika Icon
Sometimes waterproof toys are a waste of time—they’re toys you would
only use in the bedroom and never in the tub. But with Do Me Ducky, this
is definitely not the case. I have always wanted one of these ducks and
wasn’t disappointed.
I
liked the varying speeds and the flexibility/rubbery quality of the duck
itself. There weren’t any instructions (not that I needed them), so I
assumed it was a case of sticking the duck’s head in me (or the whole
duck)—I went for the head. It took me awhile to get off, but I got
there. I always go for the quick “O” but I think this is supposed to be
a toy that you relax with while chilling in the tub. So, no fowl there.
Of
course, there were a few issues with the duck. First off, it uses 3 AAA
batteries, which is odd—most toys use AA’s. So, I had to go out and buy
some batteries before using my new little friend. Secondly, it says it’s
“adorably discreet” on the package—that might have been the case if it
was yellow (not purple) and didn’t have the battery cover coming out
it’s duck ass. If I saw the thing in someone else’s tub, I would know
the deal—the cover lets you know it’s turbo charged. And lastly, the
little guy smells rubbery and it takes awhile to get rid of the scent,
because even after you air it out, it lingers.
The
toy is cute, a great gift and a stellar deal at a retail price of
$19.95. If you choose to give to the girls you love this holiday season,
it will give stuffing a stocking a whole new meaning. Get yours today at
adameve.com and happy ducking!
Adam
& Eve’s My Clitoral Hummer
A Review by Erika Icon
I loved this
toy! I popped the 2 double “A” batteries in and was really to rock and
roll. Not only is it red and velvety-soft, but it’s lightweight and
really hit the spot (literally). I was able to quickly hit my spot and
have an amazing orgasm (and I even squirted). And, you can’t say that
about too many toys on the market. The range of speeds was nice, as
well—it’s very powerful, so you won’t need to turn it up all the way. I
tried it in the bed and in the tub and liked it in bed best (like most
things). This is the type of toy that I would use on a daily basis and
with a price point under $30, it’s worth every penny. I highly recommend
this if you like G-Spot toys and the rise they can give you.
Adam
& Eve’s White Rabbit
A
Review by Erika Icon
My big complaint about rabbits is that
they are too big. Are toy manufacturers making toys for Godzilla?! I
mean really. This toy is just the right size and it wasn’t too hard.
When I used it, it felt like a guy’s dick was in me and he was using his
fingers to play with my clit. Imagine a toy that actually simulates sex
and successfully?! I got a very nice orgasm, as well. It wasn’t
instantaneous, but working your way up to the “Big O” is a nice treat
and half the fun is getting there. The speeds were also nice—I liked
moving up and down the dial to tease myself. This toy is made really
well and should definitely last. I really hope it will—it’s going to the
top of my toy box. Really. Oh, one last thing…the aesthetic of the toy
is also very pleasing—the iridescent white color and style of the toy
definitely stands out.
Helping Hand Vibe
G Spot Vibrator
A Review by Erika Icon
When I first saw the Helping Hand
Vibe G Spot Vibrator it kind of freaked me out. It reminds me of the old
metal hook hand prosthetics or some sort of torture device out the Saw
movies. All of that aside, this
blue jelly vibe does have a sense of sexual purpose with its two fingers
on this unique vibe. The two jelly fingers are designed to slide inside
the pussy to hit the G-spot. And with the multi-speed vibrator it brings
a little extra added stimulation to the fold. While two-fingers deep on
the G-spot the jelly toy has a “nubbed thumb” to use on the clit to add
even more pleasure. The six-inch fingered toy requires two double0A
batteries for the vibe and is very easy to maintain and keep clean. For
$19.95, this very unique toy has a wide variety of uses if you put your
imagination to use and it also does the trick for its intent.
Cyberskin
3-Way Thriller
A Review by Erika Icon
This bendable three-way dildo comes
to us from Adam & Eve. The colorful green multipurpose toy has a curved
shape for the ladies and their beloved G-spot, which hit the spot just
right. There is also a knobby “clit brusher” to stimulate the clit while
working the toy vaginally. Finally the handle can be turned around and
used as a ribbed anal teaser for those who like a little more to their
pleasure in the bedroom. If you are really inventive and turned on I am
sure you can find many more uses for this toy to get you off.
For $29.95, Adam & Eve
deliver with this little green monster to give the user plenty of anal
and pussy pleasure. The cyberskin material covers a bendable spine which
locks the toy into play for just about any position you want to use it
in. You might be surprised by the weight of this 10-inch long and nearly
two-inch around toy that is hypo-allergenic and latex-free.
Fingertip
Massager
At first glance at this fingertip
massager from Adam & Eve it looks like one of those heart rate monitors
they put on your finger at the hospital. And in all actuality, maybe
that’s where they got this idea for this little power packed device.
The Adam & Eve Fingertip
Massager is originally $19.95, but with their summer sale it is now
$17.95 and well worth the purchase. The powerful vibrating finger device
has an adjustable strap to fit any type of finger and has five different
attachments for several different sensations.
The toy takes two watch
batteries and has the power of a pocket rocket if not better. My only
complaint about the finger tip massager is it isn’t flexible. It is more
like a finger splint when you have it on. That aside, the possibilities
are endless and if you have five of these Adam & Eve Fingertip Massager
(one on each finger), that would make for some serious overload pleasure
for you and your partner.
Twin Mini Bullets
These Twin Mini Bullets run $24.95
and are an Adam & Eve exclusive. The small waterproof packs quite the
power for just two inches long. They work really well for extra added
internal and external stimulation for her with a handy controller for
solo or couple play. The nice thing about this vibrating pocket pleasure
device is that the bullets and controller are covered in soft, velvety
waterproof skin with a 30-inch cord. At first the Twin Mini Bullets come
off great, but over prolonged use they seem to lose their luster in
pleasure and power.
Temptations
Passion Lily
A
Review by Erika Icon
With
the tagline “Flowers Are a Clit’s Best Friend,” Adam & Eve offers up
this very unique adult toy they have dubbed Temptations Passion Lilly.
The tip of the red jelly toy is made to resemble a water lily complete
with petals and a center pistolette. The seven-inch vibe is designed to
tickle and tease while you select from three speeds on the one-touch
button. I was really surprised by how squishy the jelly material was for
this toy when I took it out of the box. I don’t see this being a toy to
get the girls off with its unique and somewhat weird shape, but to tease
the clit might work better for the users. If you are curious, this might
be a new toy for your collection but if you are looking for something to
do the job quick and easy, look elsewhere. The 7-inch long and 1 ½-inch
wide waterproof toy takes two AA batteries and is priced at $29.95. You
can find the toy at the Adam & Eve online store.
Adam
& Eve's Ultimate Anal Lube
Adam &
Eve says on their website that they have sold over 20,000 bottles of
their Ultimate Anal Lube and that is pretty impressive if you think of
that in gallons of lube. The anal lover’s favorite product is thick to
add long lasting anal sex and it is also safe to use with most condoms
and other sex toys. If you are thinking about doing anal sex or are an
anal novice Adam & Eve's Ultimate Anal Lube is perfect to ease your
worries when you ease cocks and toys in your ass. The lube is slippery
and thin based so when you use it, you will not have to apply very much,
so be careful if you are a first time user. A little goes along way,
that’s how well it works. Everyone’s body, including their ass is
different. This might not be for you, but for the majority Adam & Eve’s
Ultimate Anal Lube does the trick. And at $12.95 for four ounces that
goes the extra mile, you really can’t help but give it a try. You can
find the toy at the Adam & Eve online store.
Adam
& Eve's
Slim Pink Pleaser
The
small time vibe from Adam & Eve is called the Eve’s Slim Pink Pleasure.
It is perfect for those who are buying their first vibrating sex toy or
for those looking for a little extra pleasure in the tight spots. The
slim 7-inch pink vibrator is 1-inch in diameter and is waterproof for
those who enjoy doing more than getting clean in the shower or bathtub.
With its small size, soft feel and nice vibrating speed, the Slim Pink
Pleasure is good for at home action or for those who are on the go, or
should I say, stuck in rush hour traffic. The vibe had a little trouble
of breaking easily when it first came out but Adam & Eve has seemed to
rectify that problem. Eve's Slim Pink Pleaser is made of jelly material,
takes two AA batteries and costs cost $19.95. You can find the toy at
the Adam & Eve online store.
Heart’s
Delight Glass Dildo
This
glass sex toy is one of the most unique you will find at Adam & Eve.
With its characteristic Heart-Shaped Handle it gives the user nice
control when you are looking to hit that special spot. The rounded tip
is great to get that G-Spot or prostate of your lover. The glass toy is
very slick when adding lube and also can be heated up or frozen,
depending on your pleasures. The toy is hand made from blown glass, and
sizes up at 7-inches from tip to the heart tip and is 1-inch around.
With its hard and smooth exterior, customers have raved about hitting
the perfect spot to make them gush and squirt their fluids. The handle
can also be used for clitoral stimulation. The Heart’s Delight Glass
Dildo costs $34.95 and you can find the toy at the Adam & Eve online
store.
Sword
Of Love Anal Dildo
With
the popularity of the Pirates of the Caribbean series and the adult film
Pirates and soon to be the sequel, Adam & Eve has marked the occasion
with an anal dildo sword for all the land lovers. Cutely titled, the
Sword of Love, this flesh-colored adult toy is made from of soft but
firm SensaFirm material that gets super-slick when lubricated. The toy,
which measures in at 7-inches long has a couple of different uses with
its cock inspired shaft for anal use to hit the prostrate or G-spot to
make your timbers shiver. The handle can also be put in to action with
its ribbed grip handle to give you extra pleasure. The Sword Of Love
Anal Dildo costs $34.95 and you can find the toy at the Adam & Eve
online store.
