Review: Sasha Grey Cream Pie Pocket Pussy

Posted on Monday, December 12, 2011 by namelesschaos

Sasha Grey cream pie pocket pussy by Doc Johnson

The Sasha Grey Creampie Pocket Pussy

The Sasha Grey Cream pie pocket pussy is a ribbed masturbation sleeve molded after retried porn star Sasha Grey. Overall, the sleeve is nothing special but it is a decent low cost sleeve for those that like Sasha Grey or want something mild.

Materials: Cleaning and Safety Concerns

This toy is made out of Ultra realistic 3.0 (UR3). The material is very porous so proper cleaning and care is necessary. Clean the toy before and after each use with warm soap and water or a toy cleaner. Use only water based lubes with this toy as other lubes may damage it. As it cannot be sanitized, do not share this toy or if you absolutely must share it use a condom with it. The toy has a very notable sweet smell to it. The toy attracts dust and the like very easily.

Design and Dimensions

This is a closed-ended masturbation sleeve about 5.25 inches long with a canal depth of about 4 inches. The internal texture of the toy is a series of mild ribs. The sleeve measures about 2.4 inches wide at the front of the toy, it narrows as you move towards the middle to a minimum diameter of about 1.8 inches, before widening back out to a diameter of roughly 2.3 inches at the end of the sleeve. The outside of the sleeve has a series of ribs this combined with the narrowing and widening design provides a good grip.

In terms of looks the sleeve has a Caucasian flesh tone with the labia painted pink, at least they were. The pink coloring despite infrequent use has already washed off completely as you can see by the picture below. Although they were never as pink as the product pictures on the box made them out to be. There words Doc Johnson are imprinted on the top side of the toy. The toy is made in the USA if like buying American.

The labia originally had a pink coloring, as you can see it has washed off completely.

This toy is a part of Doc Johnson’s Sasha Grey line of toys that include this toy, a series of glass butt plug s, two glass wand (Swell and Billy) and a Vibrating Ass and Pussy.

Pleasure and Use

I’m going to start with the “Sasha Grey” and “creampie” (internal ejaculation for those of you not up on your porn lingo) fantasy aspects of the toy. In terms of the mold, after reviewing several nude photos of Miss Grey (I know it was such hard work looking at all those naked pictures but its ok I do it all for you ) I have concluded it is a good replica of the real thing. The only thing is that Sasha is known for not being completely shaven and this like most sleeves has no public hair. If you want a masturbator that simulates her bush, you should look at the Sasha Grey deep penetration vibrating pussy & ass. It is interesting that this is a creampie pocket pussy when to the best of my knowledge Sasha Grey never did a creampie scene. You can take this two ways, as a poor fit for a Sasha Grey fantasy as it doesn’t fit with her performances or an even more intimate fantasy since you can pretend you’re doing something even she wouldn’t do on camera.

If you’re interested in more of Sasha Grey her porn work includes Pirates 2, Malice in LaLaLand, Tristan Taormino’s Rough Sex, Throat: A Cautionary Tale, and many others. Her non-porn work includes staring in the mainstream film The Girlfriend Experience, guest staring on HBOs Entourage, a photo book called Neu Sex and freaking out the PTA.

Now, moving back to sleeve itself, as I said above the internal texture is a series of mild rib. These ribs are milder than what I typical use but they are nice for when I do want something milder and they would be great if you generally prefer milder internal textures. The material is also soft contributing to the mild feel. This masturbator is closed-ended which means you will get a mild suction effect during use, it also necessary for the masturbator to have the advertised creampie effect. As this sleeve only has a total length of 5.25 inches, it is not the best if you want deep penetration unless you are shorter than average. The back does stretch a little bit, but obviously overstretch it and it will break. If you want something you can truly go balls deep on, I would recommend a Fleshlight, instead. As I mentioned above the sleeve is very easy to grip thanks to its design this is a plus as it things can be hard to grip when your hands or full of lube or otherwise slippery like if your using it in the shower.

Packaging

This toy comes in a cardboard box approximately 6.25” tall (7.25” counting the hanging tab) x 3.25 inches wide by 2.5 half inch deep. The front has a picture of Sasha Grey in her lingerie. One side has a picture the toy and some bullet points about it; the other has another picture of Sasha in her lingerie. This second picture is much racer then the first; she is pulling her panties down to one side and you can very clearly see her bush. The back some more points about the toy with a final picture of Sasha in the background.

Closing Thoughts

Over all this is simple low-end sleeve (If you want something high end I’d suggest a Fleshlight, a Tenga 3D, or a Tenga Fliphole. ) There is nothing fancy about it but if you’re in the market for a low cost sleeve and like mild texturing this will fit the bill.

Review: His Miracle Massager Stroker Kit

Posted on Wednesday, December 7, 2011 by namelesschaos

His Miracle Massager Stroker Kit by Cal Exotics

The His Miracle Massager Set

The His Miracle Massager Stoker Kit is a 2-speed wand style massager kit that, in addition to a standard nub attachment, comes with a unique ribbed penis sleeve attachment that makes it unlike other toys on the market. Despite some flaws (smelly attachment, unsafe materials), this toy is a winner and a much needed entry in the category of vibrating toys deigned for penis use.

Materials: Cleaning and Safety Concerns

The body of the toy is made out hard grey plastic; the head of the massager is coated in PVC, the nub attachment is made of hard plastic and the penis sleeve is made out of TPE. To clean carefully wipe with a damp cloth (remember the toy is not water-resistant). The TPE attachment (and to a lesser extent the PVC head) had a very pronounced smell. These materials are compatible with both water and silicone based lubes. These materials are porous so use condoms if sharing.

Design, Dimensions, and Operation.

The vibrator measures about 8 inches in total length. The toy’s head sit on top of a flexible neck and measures about 1 2/3 inches in diameter not counting the protrusion at one end, which is where you attach the attachments. The detachable power cord on this is 6 feet long and has a rather bulky box at the end (approximately 3” x1.5” x 1.75”) that can be rather annoying as it will block adjacent outlets.

The inside of the penis attachment

The tube attachment is roughly five and a half inches in total length with about 5 inches being insertable. The opening of the tube has a diameter of about two inches (not counting the ribs on the inside). Along the inside are seven ridges. One side has four ridges spaced out about an inch from each other starting from the entrance of the tube; these ribs stick out about a quarter inch from the wall of the tube. The other side has three ribs spaced out an inch from each other starting a half of an inch in from the entrance, these stick out a little less about 1/8 of an inch. The result is an alternating pattern of larger followed by smaller rib with each rib spaced out a half of an inch from the next one on the opposite side. This tube is pretty rigid and although it can compresses well it has very little stretch.

The nub attachment is about an inch and a half long and can be used to concentrate stimulation.

Lastly, the toy has two speeds low and high, a single slider on the front side of the toy controls the settings. The toy is rather loud; you would be able to hear it through a closed door. In terms of power, this toy is very powerful but not as quite powerful as my Whal, Hitachi or Inspire.

Pleasure and Use

Getting right to the main feature of the toy, although it looks weird the penis selves works amazingly well and makes this one of the best masturbators I have tried. To use it place your penis inside and then turn the toy on to the desired setting (or turn the toy on and then insert while it is vibrating, either way is good). If you leave your penis stationary, the vibrations throughout the sleeve and through the internal ribs will provide a pleasant massage. I like this for warm-up or foreplay especially on low. For more simulation, you can move the sleeve up and down on your penis the combination of the firm ribs and vibration is intense and very stimulating especially on high. In addition, if you push the air out of the toy as your entering it you will create a suction effect that will add yet another layer to the experience.

There are some cons to this sleeve however. Firstly, as I stated above the material isn’t very safe and has a strong odor. Secondly, as I mention above the material does not have much stretch to it, so if you have a penis that above average in girth the sleeve may be too tight for you. Thirdly, the ribs may be too firm for some users. Fourth, the vibrations do transmit significantly into the handle which may numb your hand. Lastly, the toy has all the flaws that are inherent to a corded massager, i.e. not waterproof, tied to a cord and power.

Although the toy is called the His Miracle Massager Kit, this is actually an extremely versatile kit. The top of the massager can be used anyway you would typical use a massager this can be for sexual purposes (e.g. clitoris, nipples, other erogenous zones) or non-sexual purpose (e.g. sore muscles) or both (e.g. use it on sore muscles which puts you in the mode to use it on your clit). The nub attachment allows you to apply the vibration in a more focused fashion, which again can be used for a wide variety of purposes. Its relatively small size also makes it easy to use during intercourse as long as you aren’t tangled in the cord. Although I should note that if you have no need for the penis attachment they do make other “my miracle” massager kits with a more traditional set of attachments.

Packaging

The toy comes in a clear plastic packaging (approximately 11.75 x 2.25 x 5.75 inches) with white red and black lettering for the various bullet points about the toy; it is tasteful but not discreet. It also comes with some basic instructions.

Closing Thoughts

Although there are some flaws such as the smelly attachments that I hope someone fixes someday as it stands this is a fantastic toy and deserves a full five stars.

Review: Nexus Vibro

Posted on Tuesday, December 6, 2011 by namelesschaos

The Nexus Vibro, is a vibrating prostate massager designed to stimulate both the prostate internally via the insertable portion and the perineum region externally, via the external portion. What makes the nexus line of prostate massagers special is that instead of a hard plastic perineum stimulator like on the Aneros toys, they have a stainless steel rollerball at the end of the external portion. What makes the Vibro unique within the line is that the base is hollow allowing for the insertion of the included stainless steel vibrator. It all very nice, high-end, and innovative but a single fatal flaw ruins it for me….it won’t stay in.

Nexus Vibro Luxury Kit

Materials: Cleaning and Safety Concerns

The main body of the toy is made out of hard plastic. Plastic can be cleaned with good old soap and water. For a more thorough cleaning, you can clean it with some isopropyl alcohol. You cannot sterilize or sanitize plastic so do not share the toy, or put I condom over it if you do. The removable roller ball and the vibrator are made out of stainless steel. You can clean stainless steel with soap and water, isopropyl alcohol, or a 10% bleach solution. You can also put the roller ball in your dishwasher (top rack no soap), pressure cooker or boil it; don’t do any of these three to the vibrator or body of the toy however as it will ruin them.

Both plastic and steel are compatible with all lubes so use which ever lube you like best. (Personally, I like a good silicone based lubes. I like a less viscous lube to use around the roller ball as really viscous lubes will gunk it up easier).

Design, Dimensions, and Operations

As I said above this toy is a prostate massager, you can divide the toy in to three parts: the main internal arm of the toy that goes inside your body, the rollerball arm that provides external stimulation and a handle that curves outward that you can use to manual active the toy or to help with removal or insertion.

The toy measures a total of 5 inches, measuring from the head to the tip of the handle portion of the base, about 3 inches of which are insertable. The toy starts with an almond like head about an inch in diameter. The shaft of the toy has 13 ribs running down its length and is about an inch and 1.10^” at it widest point and the neck of the toy is about ¾ of an inch at its narrowest. The base measures about 4 1/3” from end to end, the roller portion stick out about 2” from the base while the manual arm sticks out about 1.5 inches.

The toy has a removable roller (about 2/3 of inch in diameter) at the end. The toy comes with an included rollerball remover that you poke through a hole underneath the ball to pop it out, when your cleaning the toy. If you lose the removal tool don’t worry anything you can fit in the hole, like the tip of a pen, can pop the ball out. All the rollerball massager in the /nexus line use the same removal tool (and rollerball).

The Nexus Vibro comes with a rollarball removal tool for easy cleaning.

The vibrations come from a removable stainless steel bullet vibrator. The bullet measures 3 inch in length (counting the button), and is about 6/10 of an inch in diameter. It is operated by a single push button on the top, pushing it will turn the toy on a cycle through its five different vibrations patterns:

1) Low

2) High

3) Rapid pulsation

4) Very Rapid Pulsation

5) Escalation

According to the box, this has “microchip technology”, although I could not feel any difference in performance. It run on a single N sized battery (included).

The Nexus Vibro's stainless steal vibrator

This toy is part of Nexus line of roller ball massager, which in addition to this have: the Neo, the Excel, the Glide, and the Titus (basically the non-vibrating version of the Vibro)

Pleasure and Use.

I’m going to cut straight to the point here: this toy is well made but fails for the simple reason that it won’t stay in and since a prostate massager is supposed to be a hands-free product (activated by you contracting you PC muscles or by rocking your hips) this is ultimately a fatal flaw. Looking closely at the toy I think part of the problem is that although the difference between max and neck diameter is decent it not symmetrically distributed, one side bulges more than the other does so it slips out easily. The ribbing if it was supposed to help with retention it did not. However, other people have rear ends that are much grabbier then mine and if you think this will work will your body there are so pros to this toy (tested holding it in manually).

Frist off, the Nexus rollerball design is brilliant. The rollerball is much more comfortably and more stimulating the often poke-y plastic ends on the Aneros line of massagers. In addition, perineum arm on this one is perfectly angles to hit the perineum area the way I like it. The head on the internal portion is well angled and provides good stimulation, so it passes that test as well. Moving on to the vibrations in the Vibro, the included bullet is strong enough that I can feel the vibrations during use, while quit enough not to be able to hear it through a closed door. The steady setting can provide some additional stimulation while the patterns can be fun to try a develop a rhythm to.

On the topic of the bullet while I couldn’t tell any sort of difference in regards to that “microchip technology” this is supposed to have it is a good bullet. If you have some use for the bullet separately, it adds some value to your purchase. You can use the bullet by itself any way you would use a regular bullet (nipples, clits, etc) and since it is stainless steel it can also be used for temperature play.

If you want a good vibrating prostate massager that stays in I wish I could give you a recommendations but I haven’t found one that works for me. Rocks Off makes several although the one I tried (Rude Boy) failed to stay in. Aneros has one called the Vice, but I haven’t tried it yet. You may also want to look in to flexible toys like the Gi-Ki or the SinFive Flow (neither of which I’ve tried yet).

Comparison to other Nexus Massagers.

I have 4 of the massager in the Nexus line and my favorite is the nexus Neo followed very closely by the Excel, The Glide coming in a distant third and this one sadly being the worse for me.

As I mentioned above this seems to be a vibrating version of the Nexus Nexus Titus, so if you if you are not interested in vibrations you should look at that one. If you’re the perineum arm of the Vibro interests you but not the overall design, the perineum stimulator on this is identical to the one on the Neo. Here a picture with the two to illustrate:

The base of the Vibro is identical in shape to the one on the Nexus Neo.

If you don’t think the perineum arm on the Vibro/Titus will work for you but like the design of the internal portion, the angle of the internal portion is most similar to the one on the glide, which has a different perineum arm.

The angle where the Vibro hits the prostate is similar to the one on the Glide.

Packaging

The packaging for the Nexus Vibro is very classy and tasteful. It comes in a black cardboard box (approximately 6” x 5” x 1.5”). The front has a picture of the toy and the back a description of the toy and a picture of the bullet.

The Nexus Vibro packaging

Inside the box, the bullet, massager and the removal tool will be a foam holder. It is very easy to use this for storage.

Closing Thoughts

A prostate massager that can’t stay is an automatic 2 stars max for me, so that what I’m giving it. While recognizing that if your ass is good at retaining things it may be a four or five star product for you.

Review: Picobong Tano

Posted on Friday, November 25, 2011 by namelesschaos

The Picobong Tano by Lelo (Picobong is a part of Lelo in case you didn’t know)

The Lelo Picobong Tano

The Picobong Tano is a vibrating butt plug. I was excited about this one because from the pictures I could see that it solved the main problem with vibrating butt plugs. Most vibrating plugs use a bullet vibe in the base to provide the vibrations. The problem is that this means their needs to be enough hollow space in the neck of the toy to fit the aforementioned vibrator, the result is a neck too thick to allow for a proper tapper needed for good retention. The Tano solves this problem by putting the vibrator in the head of the toy allowing the neck to taper unobstructed by the internal vibrator, however in doing so it creates a completely new set of problems.

Materials: Clean and safety concerns.

This toy is made out of silicone and plastic. Both materials are free of phthalates and latex, hypoallergenic, and can be cleaned with soap and water. The silicone used by Lelo is probably the firmest silicone I’ve seen; it feels more like plastic then silicone. It not just that it is silicone coating plastic either my pure silicone toys from Leo (i.e the Lelo Bob) have also been extremely firm. Note: The toy has the word Picobong engraved on it which makes for a bunch of little hard to clean areas, you need to make extra sure are clean.

Only use water based lubes with this toy as silicone based lubes might damage the silicone on the toy.

Design and Dimensions

The toy is about 4.25 inches long, with about 3.75 inches being insertable. The head of the toy (about the first 2.5 inch), is made of silicone the rest of the toys neck and base is made out plastic. There is a seam created where the silicone and plastic meat.

The seam on the picobong Tano

The base of the toy measures about 3.5 inches across at is widest. One end of the toy is wider then then the other with the wider end (little under 1.25 inches at it widest) having an oval shaped hole (about 2/3” of an inch along the short axis and 9/10 on the long axis). This base is also asymmetrical with the side with the ring hole sticking out much more than the other side from the center of the toy. The overall look is very cute like a surfer of some sort.

The Picobong Tano's Base

The toy is powered by a single aaa battery (not included) Yaa!, for normal batteries and not some weird size like so many other bullets. To insert the battery you twist off the top portion were the silicone and plastic meet, you insert the body and then simply screw the cap back on. The toy will give off a little buzz to let you know you have inserted the battery properly, which is a nice touch.

The Tano comes apart in the middle to insert the battery.

The toy has the words Picobong engraved on one, on the outside of the toy. It is here that you will find the toy’s controls. The hole in the letter “P” actually a minus sign and the hole in the letter “b” has a plus sign in it, this is how you control the toy. This is cute but a little counter intuitive I had to read the manual before I realized they were the controls. Lastly, as mentioned above it also makes the toy harder to clean.

The controls for the Picobong, are hidden in the "Picobong" lettering on the outside of the the toy. The minus button is in the "P" and the minus button is in the "b"

To operate the toy hold down the plus sign and it will turn on the toy; keep holding it down to increase the intensity. Once it on it highest setting hit the plus again again to cycle between the plugs other 11 settings different settings (the steady vibrations add up to the advertised twelve settings). The eleven setting are as follows:

Slow pulsation
Medium speed pulsation
Fast pulsation
Very fast pulsation
Slow escalation
Medium speed escalation
Roller-coaster
Faster roller-coaster
Escalation followed by two pluses
Fast escalation followed by four pulses
Erratic pulses

To turn the toy off push the button to return it to steady vibration mode, then hold it down till the toy turns off. The vibrations are pretty quite about 2/5 on the noise scale.

The toy is available in three colors, black, pink, and purple. The Tano is part Lelo’s Picobong line, which in addition to their toy includes the: Kiki, Koa, Ipo, Honi, and Mahana.

The Mystery of the Dice

One final thing I should note is that it comes with a die. It is black with little pictures of each of the Picobong toys done in pink. What is it for? Some short of kinky sex game? Some short of marketing games? A relic from some sex-shop/casino hybrid? Hell if I know! And apparently Lelo doesn’t know either. The answer on the official site is: “We hoped you could tell us.” Between this and the Insignia line’s random brooch I’m left wondering: “If you’re going to keep throwing random shit in Lelo, what’s next? Diadems? Zocchihedrons?”

It comes with a free die....no one knows why.

Pleasure and Use

This toy was so full of potential it is sad to say it feel very short, but let go over the good things first. Frist of all the basics, the plug does stay in very well, it stayed in during movement, orgasm, intercourse, everything. This is a major plus as the downfall of most vibrating plugs as I mentioned above is that they fall out. The base is comfortable during use and sitting which is nice. You might want try it with both the large end with the loop pointing towards and away from your genitals to see which works best for you. I couldn’t feel a difference in overall comfort with the base however if the loop end is pointing to your genitals it can block access to the perineum region and maybe even the vagina if you or your partner have one that is very close to the anus. Speaking of the loop I find it didn’t really help much with removal however it was good for using it to manually wiggle around the toy for stimulation. I also like that the toy has a variety of setting I could use depending on how much simulation I want. The vibrations are on the weak side but I find them acceptable for what I want out of a vibrating plug. Lastly, that toy uses a normal battery size is also a plus.

So sounds good so far will unfortunately, there are two big flawed which absolutely ruin this toy. The first, is remember the “Design and Dimensions and Operation” section above? Remember how I said the controls are on the outside of the insertable portion. Think about that. See the problem? If you want to switch settings, you have to take the toy out, change settings, relube, put it back in. Want to change it again? Repeat the whole process. Unless you are satisfied with picking just one setting and sticking with it, this will be annoying. Although that being said, I can think of one scenario that could kind of erotize this flaw. Put it in in a public bathroom and then go back out and continue your day for a while, part of the thrill coming from the fact you can’ turn it off till you get back to a place you can take it out (or the battery dies). I haven’t gotten the courage to actual attempt this but it’s an idea, if I ever get the guts I’ll included it in the follow up review. However, that not what really hurts this toy, what really causes it to fail is….

THE SEAM OF DOOM!!!

Now normally I don’t feel seams or don’t feel them enough for them to really bother me; so that I feel this seam deserves a not just its own heading but one that that is bolded, underlined and has both excessive capitalization and excessive exclamation should tell you something. This toy has by far the worse seam I’ve ever experienced and it not the normal seam that you find on most toys either. The seam I’m talking about is the seam that is runs horizontal across the toy where the plastic and silicone meet. Observe:

I hate you.

This seam is very, very noticeable both on insertion and removable but that just the beginning. The toys two main problems have a lovely, evil synergy with each other. Remember how you have to remove the toy just to change settings each time? Remember how I just said that you would feel it going in and out each time? Yah. Now remember how I said that it had twelve different setting? Imagine how I felt after I had to test each one of them, removing a reinserting he toy each time? (insert Sideshow Bob rake noise) Because it bears repeating…

...I hate you.

However, it gets even worse, now almost any plug no matter how well it stays in is going to wiggle a little if you move a lot. Now for most plugs this is not a problem, on this one I could actually feel that accursed seam if the plug slid down. Never before have a felt a seam while the toy is inside me. O bloody hell…

...I really hate you!

However, there is one tiny slimier of hope. As I was testing vibration partner #5 or so I was despite for a way to make the process easier and tried putting a condom on the toy, this does help smooth out the seam a bit making the it much more comfortable to insert and remove. This trick pretty much saved the toy from the trash bin, but it still annoying to have to use a condom, (or something similar) each time and it negates part of the reason for getting a (partially) silicone toy in the first place.

... I hate you slightly less now.

Packaging

The Tano comes in cardboard and plastic box (approximately: 6 ½ x 3 5/8 x 1 ½) the packaging is simple and classy, the front has a view of the toy with some icons listing the toys function the back has a blurb about the toy in four different languages. Inside will be the Tano and a Picobong dice attached to a plastic holder. I had a small problem with the dice there was too much glue holder it to the card board holder, so much it took some of the cardboard with it took some soap and water to get the cardboard and glue off. The packaging is a bit excessive as I said above the dice seems throw in for no apparent reason.

The Tano's packaging

Closing Thoughts

I’m giving this a two starts mainly because of the seam. I will admit the toy will probably see more play time then it truly deserve but that only due to the lack of good vibrating plug options and even then I have to wrap it in something to smooth out the seam. I hope that someone can fix these problems and because the idea had promise.

Unpacking the Knapsack: Male, Heterosexual, Cis-gender Sex Toy Reviewer Edition

Posted on Sunday, September 18, 2011 by namelesschaos

Note: I’m re-posting this as it seem the first never got splashed on to my RSS feed for some reason…….and apparently nether did this one. ugh!

So last night I was looking over an essay I wrote for my woman studies class (there will be many post coming from this, including why I’m taking so many women studies classes) about my responses to the classic essay White Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack. I decided to follow the format of that essay and list some of the different privileges I experience i.e.: male heterosexual (Although I don’t consider myself a 0 on the Kinsley scale I’m close enough to definitely benefit from heterosexual privilege), cis-gender. This is not meant to be an scholarly even intensely through analysis (it basically all that popped into my head last night before I succumb to the siren song of sleep) , never-the-less I thought it would be a good introspective exercise to share.

1) I can find on sex toy packaging images that appeal to my sexual orientation and gender, even if that product is marketed to women…

2) The same holds true for porn…

3) …and even events designed to bring attention to women watching porn.

4) I can look at sex toy packaging, porn, etc and not have my gender be insulted.

5) If a purchase a couple’s toy I can be assured that opposite gender pairing will be covered in the pictures, manual, etc.

6) I can be assured a general sex ed manual will included illustration/descriptions of heterosexual and cis-gender activity

7) The virginity of my gender is not fetishized and obsessed over (see the Kink.com’s hymn-gate fiasco.)

I can be assured members of my gender will be seen reaching climax in most any porn.

9) I can be sure that pornography meeting my sexual preferences will be stocked in any porn retailer

10) I can be sure that porn will be marked towards me and my gender. (Consider Digital Playgrounds slogan “Hotter Girls, Higher Quality” Why is “Hotter Guys” not a factor? )

11) I can be sure that porn and sex toys marked toward me will be in the main section of the story and not in a separate section, a niche department, or in a separate store entirely.

12) Even when women are portrayed as dominate I can be assured I can still find plenty of images that are shot from the point of view of the male gaze.

13) I can be sure the sex-positive movement will include my point of view. See: when sex-positive=male gaze)

14) If someone finds my collection of porn it is much less likely I will be judged for it then someone of another gender

15) Masturbation is seen as natural and normal for my gender

16) Having sexual thoughts and fantasies are seen as normal for my gender.

17) If I have an opinion on female sexuality, I’m likely to be taken seriously.

18) If I have opinion on women and sex work I’m likely to be taken seriously despite not being a sex worker or a women (see: that incident involving that blogger whose name shall not be spoken)

19) My opinion on transgender issues will be taken seriously, and not a sign or me being overly sensitive.

20) Me reaching orgasm during sex is expected

21) In most media more time will be spent on sex acts that my gender general prefers example more time spent on fellatio then cunnilingus

22) Toys will categorized according to a gender binary I (or my partners) fall under, i.e “Toys for men” or “Toys for women”.

23) If I were to enter work in porn I would not have to fear being assaulted by my co-worker or not having my boundaries violated (for a truly chilling example of this see Khan Tusion and meatholes)

24) Porn never portrays sex as something that is supposed to hurt my gender (To be clear I’m not talking about consensual BDSM porn here I mean stuff like #23)

25) As my tastes are considered, mainstream it easy for me to find porn that is of high technical quality. (Think how much queer porn is available on Blu-Ray compared to mainstream porn)

26) Bisexuality will be shown as existing for my pleasure. Example: FFM threesomes featuring female bisexuality are ubiquitous male-male-female threesome featuring male bisexuality are a rarity. (Although it is awesome when you find it)

27) I don’t have to worry about being harassed on twitter if I make a sexual comment

28) I don’t have to worry about being harassed on twitter if I make a non sexual comment

29) I have yet to receive any unsolicited genital picks.

30) I don’t have to be as worried about being harassed if I don’t adequately protect my personal information online. (or even if a do protect my info) Edited: to add this link, by Charlie Glickman which sums up what women face nicely)

31) I don’t have to deal with hate posts just because of my gender, or sexuality.

32) I can be relatively sure sexual health information will address my concerns.

33) Pictures of my genitals in their natural state are unlikely to be majority altered to avoid explicit genital details

34) Porn feature my sexuality/gender etc. is not more likely to be considered obscene or too hardcore.

35) Lubricants and toys do not general contain ingredients know to be unhealthy for my gentiles or compounds suspected to cause gender related cancers in my gender.

36) The proper anatomical terms for my body part will not be on a google banned words list.

37) …or a republican politician’s banned words list

38) My ability to reliably reach orgasm is taken for granted.

39) I can blog without being the target of triggering rape jokes

40) If I do find a joke/item whatever offensive, it is more likely to be taken seriously and less like to have, me labeled as overly sensitive or just out to cause a ruckus.

41) Masturbation for my gender is not seen as practice for intercourse.

42) Forms online will always have options for my gender and sexual orientation

43) I will never be asked to speak for my entire sexual orientation

44) The chose I make in clothing, manner of speech or anything else will not be attributed to my sexuality

45) The non-sexual functions of my body will not be constantly sexualized (think women and breast feeding)

And I could go on and could expand the list to included other examples of hetero sexual, male and cis privilege however as I said my point is not to be all inclusive I specifically kept most of the list narrowed to the thing at least somewhat related to sex blogging. I did this for a specific reason I wanted to focus on the things I could most easily address. By keeping focused on how privilege manifests itself in relativity narrow sphere, I can better identify blind spots in my own thinking. One example is the issue of #22, there are ways to be more inclusive for example “toys for cocks” the category listing where ‘toys for men” would fall under in Pleasurists is more inclusive then toys for men because cock can mean bio-cock or a dildo and can be owned by a cis or trans individual. The tag I use for such toys is simply masturbator a simple objective description.

Anyway readers, (yes both of you… actually their might be three now, short post on that coming tomorrow…short version if your reading this, hi professor ). Anymore you can add to the list, what your list would look like?

Review: Tantus Prostate Health

Posted on Wednesday, August 24, 2011 by namelesschaos

Prostate Health By Tantus

The Tantus prostate health is kind of a weird prostate massager the body is shaped most similarly to those of Nexus’s prostate massager line. While the base resembles the toys in the Tantus’s elements line, including the ability to put a bullet it in it. For the most part it didn’t work for me however it filled a niche no other toy in my collection has been able to fill. What is that niche? Read ahead to find out.

The Tantus Prostate Health

Materials: Safety and Cleaning Concerns

The prostate health is made out firm, black⁽¹⁾ 100% silicone. Silicone is one of the best materials for toys be they prostate or otherwise as it is hypoallergenic, free of phthalates or latex, and is easy to clean, sanitize or sterilize. For basic cleaning just use hot soap and water, for a more through sanitization clean it with a 10% bleach solution (make sure you clean off the toy before using it again!) put it on the top rack of your dishwasher sans soap or boil it. For the most through home sanitizations put it in a pressure cooker for 20 minutes. Silicone can have a bonding reaction with silicone based lubes so stick to water based lubes with this toy, if you must use silicone lube do a small test patch on the bottom of the toy.

The included bullet is made out of silver plastic which you can clean with hot soap and water. However it can’t be boiled or sterilize so no sharing (Why you would even want to share one of these cheap little silver bullets of doom?) Plastic is compatible with all lubes.

Design and Dimensions

The toys start off with with a large head shaped kind of like a really big almond (about 1 1/3” x .90 x .75) that sticks out promptly from the shaft of the toy. The toys narrows to a neck (about ½” in diameter), then bulges out to a diameter of about an inch before narrowing about tenth before it connects with the base, this bottom neck also has 4 ridges on it. As I mentioned above this shape remains me a lot of nexus prostate massagers (take a look for example at the Nexus Titus) however the head stick out more from the prostate health, then on Nexus massagers.

The base as I also said above remains me of Tantus elements line (Delta, Theta, Pi, and Omega) so much so I’ve started calling this the Tantus Omega instead of the actual Omega (I think it more fitting as it is the only one specially designed for your end and it is also the last of the five I bought, the actual Omega can get some other Greek letter). The base like the elements line has a raised thumb grip with five ridges on it, it actually works better here than on the elements because the harder silicone makes it sturdier then the softer silicone on the elements line.

Close-Up of the thumb grip

The toy has a hole in the bottom for inserting a bullet vibe. This bullet in the base system allows you to switch bullets effectively allowing you to change power and functions of the toy and if the vibe is water proof you’ve now made yourself a water proof vibrator. The toy does come with a free (finicky, temperamental, and buzzy) bullet that use three watch batteries (included) that in my opinion is best replaced with a better bullet vibe.

The prostate health comes with an included bullet vibe that you can put into the base of the toy.

Pro-tip: if you’re not using the a bullet the bullet hole makes a great finger hole

Important pro-tip: If you do follow my advice a get rid of the included bullet, make sure to take out the include batteries so you can use them in something else.

Really important pro-tip: Put a bit of lube on the bullet before inserting it! If you don’t you’ll need the might of Hercules to get the bullet back out. This is especially needed if you’re using a shorter than average bullet and there is a reason to use such a bullet in this case as I will describe below.

Pleasure and Use

As I said above this toy disappointed me except in one limited context, the root of my disappointment is the toy is marketed as a prostate massager and when I hear that term I think of something like the Aneros or the Nexus line of hands-free prostate massagers. Being hands free is where the toy fails for me, the toy slides out very easily; the difference between the neck’s and the rest of the shaft’s diameter is not drastic enough to keep it in place and the ridges on the bottom do nothing to help retention. Normally this would be an automatic 2 star toy max for a prostate massager however it sneaks out 3 stars because as a said above it does work in one area no other toy I’ve had has and I can see why this could be an appealing option for others which is what I’ll go over first.

The head of the prostate health is good at providing p-spot pressure.

The toy’s shape is very effective at applying prostate pressure although similar to other toys the head of this toy sticks out from the body more the most toys giving it a shape different enough to make it worth a look as long as your ass is much more grabby then mine or at willing to keep it place/move it by hand. Although that it stick out so much can also make insertion a little tricky. Secondly, the toy does transmits the vibrations from the bullet well but again if it doesn’t stay in on its own and I have to use my hand I’d rather use a true internal motor vibrator or use a regular prostate massager and rub my Hitachi, Fairy, or Whal along the base to get vibrations that way. Still a 2 star toy until we to the one niche were the toy shines

Here the niche, this is the only prostate massage I’ve been able to use sitting down and with vibrations. Most prostate massagers have a handle or tab that stick out prevent you from being able to comfortably sit with them (if at all). This toy’s base it flat enough that I can sit on it comfortably and then contract my pc muscle or wiggle around to bring myself to orgasm. However I’ve already found a butt plug I can wiggle in butt to bring myself to orgasm (the Treeze large bubble plug). This does proved more prostate pressure, and while the Treeze worked for me this toy would likely be a more reliable chose for others, but it is still not enough to bump it up to 3 stars until we get to the “and with vibrations” portion above. I can put a bullet in the hole and have vibration alongside prostate pressure as I’m sitting. This is nice as I can sit and let their vibration prove some nice stimulation and build up before taking myself over the top by wiggling the prostate health. Normally a standard size bullet would stick out too much to be able to sit on it comfortably so you’re going to need a shorter than average bullet for this to work (my bullet of choice for this is the Club Vibe). While the ability to do this is nice, the scenario is a narrow one for me I have to be willing to be sitting (normally I masturbate/watch porn on a bed not sitting) and want prostate massage and to have it with vibrations. I don’t doubt this will happen but it’s a rarity for me. If you do things like what I described often this might be a more appealing choice for you.

Packaging and Storage

Like every retail-purchased Tantus toy I’ve got this came in clear plastic packaging, with a few points about Tantus toys on it. It is not discreet obviously but it is completely tasteful. Silicone doesn’t have any special storage requirements but many like to put each toy in its own bag to be on the safe side.

Closing Thoughts

I wanted to like the prostate health but the inability to stay in is a deal breaker for me. However it is ok as a vibrator, it fits an extremely narrow niche in my sexual repertoire and I can see how is could work well for others. If I could give half stars on Edenfantasys (sponsor of this review) I would probably give it 2.5 stars but since I can’t it earns 3 stars.
