If my vag had a credit card...

Last week Eden Cafe ran an article I wrote about finding and enjoying your A Spot, a secondary "G Spot" type erogenous zone located even deeper in the vag. (Read it. I promise this post will still be waiting when you get back.) I swear by my Pure Wand for simultaneous A and G Spot stimulation, but since this special zone still doesn't get a lot of attention from toy makers, I've decided to round up a selection of toys that *would* be good for A Spot stimulation for those who are interested in playing with this erogenous zone.

My personal criteria for a good A Spot toy is:

1. Curved.
2. Long.
3. All those other bells and whistles that make toys nice, such as body-safe materials, vibrating, rechargeable if it vibrates, etc...

I also don't recommend "rabbit" style toys for a spot stim as they're usually proportioned to hit the G Spot, not the A Spot.

Without further ado, I present....ROMAN'S A-SPOT WISHLIST.

1. The Nomi Tang Getaway Wild G Spot Vibrator
Curved? Yes.
Long? 8.5"
Price: $79.00
Bells and Whistles? Multispeed vibrations, Silicone, Waterproof, 2 other similar models available (the Getaway Pure and the Getaway Luxe, though the wild seems to have the most dramatic curve), fancy packaging, looks like an airplane!!!
Downside: Allegedly weak vibrations, has many of the features of a high end vibrator, but still runs on AAA batteries. My Form 4 and Hitachi have gotten me hooked on plug in/rechargeable vibes, I admit.

2. Jopen Vanity Vr9 G Spot Vibrator
Curved? On both sides!
Long? 9.75"!!
Price? $146-ish!!!
Bells and Whistles? Multispeed vibration, rechargable, silicone, rechargeable, travel-friendly with storage bag. I've been lusting for the Jopen product line for a while now. I confess it's partly because I secretly believe they're toy line is inspired by Prince- all their toys are purple (well, magenta?) and they have a toy called Vanity Vr6, which is SUSPICIOUSLY similar to Prince's girl band Vanity 6:

Anyway, the Vanity Vr9 looks AMAZING. Dual vibration, perfectly curved, all the amenties of a high end luxury vibe. WANT.
Downside: Pricy, as all great toys seem to be.

3. Phallix Galaxy Marble Glass G Spot Shaft
Curved? Intriguingly S-curved to hit the G and A spots simultaneously!
Long? 7" which is about the minimum I recommend for A spot toys (you need enough length to bottom out and still have enough to work with), though this looks like most of its length would be insertable.
Price: $74ish
Bells and Whistles? It's glass! I've been wanting to try a glass toy for a long time, and I enjoy my hard steel toys and glass has many similar properties- heat sensitive, easy to clean, and pretty. Comes in a fancy storage bag!
Downside: Some people don't like hard toys. I DO.

Want to see my complete A-Spot wishlist and/or buy me a present? ;) Check it out here at Edenfantasys!

It's OK to be a feminist.

Bill Bailey is a feminist.

I hear a lot of smart, powerful women say things like "I'm not a feminist," or "I'm not sure if I'm a feminist," and it's exasperating to me.

Friends, a feminist is NOT the man hating analogue of a misogynist.

When I was 16 years old, a male (interestingly) history teacher broke it down for me:

"All that being a feminist means is that you believe men and women are equal, and deserve equal rights."

That's all it means, and it's all it has to mean for you, if you like. But you are a probably a feminist, even if the label scares you. I know there is a lot of intimidating dogma and extremist views around what it means to be a feminist. Anyone who tells you that you have to do anything more than believe that men and women are equal is projecting their agenda onto you, and you can still call yourself a feminist even if you don't subscribe to their ideology.

You can shave off all your body hair, wear lipstick and high heels and be a feminist.

You can be a man and be a feminist.

You can be a BD/SM submissive, even a female slave owned by a male master, and be a feminist.

You can be a stay at home mom and be a feminist.

You can disagree with what you read on Jezebel or Feministing and still be a feminist.

But please, call yourself a feminist. Teach people that feminist is not a dirty word, and it doesn't mean you hate men, or judge people whose lifestyles are different from your own. It doesn't automatically mean you think women are better than men. It just means you are you, and you love women as humans and want to see them enjoy human equality.

Feminism is not keeping you from anything you are/do unless you are in fact a misogynist. In which case, I encourage you rethink your views, for your momma's sake, if nobody else's.

From Compton With Love: A True Story

(That's a map of Bloods vs. Crips territory in South Central, if you're curious.)

A few weeks ago, I wrote about my love of G Funk and Gay Dre.

Today, let me share the story of my first and only visit to South Central LA.

My geographical concept of Los Angeles is admittedly limited. I went to school in a sleepy tax shelter village in LA County, but depended on my adorable hearse-driving ex-boyfriend to drive me around. Shameful fact: I'm 31 and still don't have a driver's license, and am actually terrified of driving.

Anyway, one balmy LA Spring night in 2002, me and a couple of baby dyke pals drove to Fais Do Do (which is Creole for "fall asleep," I don't know who decided that was a good name for nightclub) to see the now defunct lesbo duo Bitch and Animal (imagine a queer, dreadlocked love child of Joanna Newsome and Ke$ha paired with the human incarnation of everyone's favorite drum playing muppet.) This show was my first exposure to the LA dyke scene outside of my tiny liberal arts school, and I was shocked to discover that LA butches really do wear lipstick and eyeliner, so the L Word is not really as far fetched as you might think. (A few months later, me and other members of the school's queer collective would wind up in an Hollywood stripclub called "Jumbo's Clown Room" with dykon Michelle Tea, but that's another story for another time.)

ANYWAY.

After the show, I decided we needed to go to Canter's 24-hour Jewish Deli in Hollywood, since my cohorts weren't old enough to drink, but we didn't want to go home yet. Canter's is weird. It's equally populated by elderly Jewish people, hipsters, and C-list celebrities, and has a 1950's diner feel. The food is simultaneously kind of gross and kind of good, they have a deli and a bakery that sells hamentaschen and chocolate babka. I seem to always wind up here AFTER something as it's not really a destination in and of itself- after an Einsturzende Neubaten show, after I appeared on the Tyra Banks Show as a "Gay Man Trapped In A Woman's Body," and on this night, after Bitch and Animal.

These were the days before smart phones, and I guess we didn't have a map, because I was expected to navigate our way to Canter's even though I didn't drive. I knew which freeway we had to take but not the direction, so unsurprisingly, we went the wrong way. We pulled off the Freeway and pulled into a Gas Station to look at a map. On the way we were propositioned to "party" with a couple of thugtastic youths upon whom our queer semiotics of buzzcuts and pit hair were completely lost.

The gas station was locked, so we proceeded to a nearby Ralph's Supermarket where I was able to find a map in the back of a phone book, while my friend purchased plastic "hillbilly teeth" from one of those quarter-operated toy dispensers.

"Compton...Inglewood...Watts...Holy shit, I know where we are!!! WE'RE IN A DR. DRE SONG!!!"

I might have said this a little too loudly, because everyone in the checkout line turned around and stared at the overly enthusiastic group of white dykes lost in South Central.

We got back on the freeway, ate our blintzes at Canter's, and according to a sleazy dude buying cookies at the bakery, Andrew Dice Clay had been sitting in the booth next to us.

Douche: still not feminist, I don't care what ad agency you hire

<---I saw this ad during my swanky pre-GRE hotel room retreat last Friday night (I don't own a TV at home because I'm an elititist jerk who doesn't own a TV and streams Trueblood on my computer, but that means I watch the fuck out of TV when I stay at a hotel). I thought it was an ad for some summer action blockbuster film at first, but....douche? Has there been a worse ad targeting vaginas since the HPV WILL KILL YOU IF YOU DONT GET GARDASIL campaign of 2010? (For the record...Gardasil came out when I was 27, which means my insurance wouldn't cover it. So fuck you, Merck.)

Where was I? I've had one of those fancy lady cocktails I blogged about in my last post so forgive me if I've gone off topic. While I appreciate the VAGINA MAKES THE WORLD GO ROUND theme of this douche commercial, I think instead of showing a lady buying VAGINA WASH in the grocery store when they say "Come on ladies! Show it a little love!" They should show the same woman jacking off with a Hitachi Magic Wand.

They should also make a version where they say "Come on guys! Show it a little love!" with a dude going down on that lady.

If anyone wants to edit these sequences into the existing ads for me, I'll bake you cookies.

Summer Fancy Lady Drink: Rose Sangria

Sangria is maybe my favorite summer drink because it's boozy, sweet but not noxiously so, and full of fresh summer fruit and antioxidants from the wine.

                                   (Bulgarian rose beverage from my corner store. It's really good!)

I also have an unapologetic love for floral-flavored foods and beverages such as lavender, violet and rose. And I also love a good rosé wine,  which makes me a kind of stereotypical femme in her 30s, but whatever. So I decided to combine these two wonderful rose things to make a fancy summer drink!

Recipe:
1 bottle rosé wine (I like Trader Joe's reserve rosé but you can use 3 Buck Chuck White Zin if you're feeling cheap)
2 tbsp. rose syrup or 1 tbsp rosewater+2 tbsp simple syrup (Monin and some middle eastern brands make rose syrup, or you can try your hand at making your own by boiling equal parts water, white sugar and rose petals)
Juice of one lemon
4 oz. Vodka (if you want a boozier Sangria)
1-2 cups fresh or frozen strawberries, raspberries, peaches, watermelon or other fruit (I don't recommend oranges for this one)
Ice
Seltzer water

Mix the wine, syrup and lemon juice, add the fresh fruit and refrigerate. Serve over ice with seltzer water to taste.

CLASSY AS FUCK.

And here are a couple of summer mix tapes I made to enjoy for you to enjoy while you chillax with your beverage.

Meet your A Spot!

The erogenous zone you may have already had and didn't know what to call...

The is the first in a series of Sex Ed articles I'm doing for Eden Cafe, so check it out...

Andro Lust, Part 2.

Happy Friday, my loves.

 Austrailian/Serbo-Croation Model Andrej Pejic. Yes, please.

 Hong Kong actress Anita Yuen. She was in a bunch of movies where she wore men's clothes as plot point. HAWT.

Bulgarian Chalga Singer Azis. (Chalga is a very dirty sort of Romany folk-pop. My Bulgarian intern says the lyrics offend her, poor lamb.) He is sort of like a cross between a bear, a drag queen and a radical faerie, and I'm into it. His music is rad (YouTube it), and he ran for Parliament but lost. (Incidentally, pornstar/ Jeff Koons' babymomma Cicciolina is a member of Italian parliament and continues to make dirty films while in office. If a Catholic country can have a porn star politician, why are we freaking out about Anthony's weiner? Anyway, I digress.)

When I say Big, you say Freedia! When I say Queen, you Say Diva! When I say Dick, you say Eater!

LOVE HER.

Elly Jackson of La Roux, by special request.

Hong Kong actor Leslie Cheung, a notorious bisexual who killed himself because he didn't want to get old and stop being pretty. That's some serious dedication to being hot.

Joyce Hyser in "Just One of the Guys." She looked so much better as a boy, and the girls at her high school think so too, comparing her to sexy 80s sex symbols Ralph Macchio and Elvis Costello. (Have you seen Ralph Macchio lately? He is the ageless Dorian Grey of 80's teen cinema!)

Anonymous Teddy Girls of 1950s London? If you don't know about the Teddy Girls, you'd best ask somebody. They were sort of like pre-rockabilly Edwardian androgynous style goddesses. My ex bf once told me I looked like a Teddy Girl and I swooned with happiness. 

Michelle Pfeiffer by Herb Ritts. Although she is ridic hot in general, she is usually not so Andro, but I adore this pic so here it is!

Got a special request for round 3? Leave it in the comments!

Hetero Queerness on the web this week...

                                             (public art by Pratt Beach, artist unknown...)

"My two friends decided that it (heteroqueer) meant any heterosexual who is totally comfortable with their sexuality; that gay sex can happen right in front of them and it doesn’t phase them at all. Heteroqueers are also the straight people that are part of the gay-rights movement."
-From "Word of the Week: Heteroqueer" by Lady Dream Kitten on Eden Cafe

(I also like the word "queercentric" for what she describes above. My personal heteroqueer identity is less about being an ally and more about being an other-gender-loving person who still identifies more with queer than hetero as a sexual orientation, but it's still a nice piece.)

"'I can not believe this is happening between a man and woman.'This thought swells in my mind every time I'm with her. My hard, black cock dangles from between my thighs. At the same instance, her small white wrist does the same as her fist makes it that much deeper inside. Heterosexuality is redefined for me with every thrust. Masculinity and power becomes disassociated, as I keep my manhood intact as she takes control."

-From "Queer Heterosexuality" by Forbidden Light, Journals of an Intelsexual
<----THIS!!!

And whaddaya know- there's a whole wiki entry on Queer Heterosexuality! Who knew?

Pronoun-ciation

I (understandably) get asked what pronouns I prefer to go by at Genderqueer events. I always tell people they can call me whatever they please, but I tend to default to she/her because I am a Femme even if I am an Androgyne (and if you don't know the difference between Femme and Female, you'd best ask somebody). I view my usage of female pronouns as a kind of Quentin Crisp-y old school British faggot thing, but this is lost on most folks as my faggotry is largely invisible to the general public.

ANYWAY.

I don't want to use male pronoun, because I am not a male, or strongly masculine in my androgyny. I find gender neutral pronouns like Ze/Zir a bit clunky for my personal tastes, they get stuck in my mouth. I sometimes feel like a genderqueer poser because I'm an XX Femme, I use my female birth name (I like using pseudonyms for writing but it feels weird to go by alternate names IRL, and I actually like my birth name a lot), and I use female pronouns. I am somewhat private about my genderqueerness because a lot of what makes me genderqueer is written on my soul, not my body, and I am very sensitive about being attacked for not being "queer enough," by the identity police. I feel safer being out online than in real life sometimes, like words offer a more accurate expression of my being than the physical container thingy on temporary loan known as my "body" that mostly serves as a meat vehicle, work horse and pleasure dome. People make assumptions based on my body that are much harder to make about me based on reading my words.

Today I figured out a way that I can have my pronouns match this physical:literary/soul dichotomy that I scramble with every day.

S/he and Hir.

The pronunciation stays the same, but on paper, the androgyny is acknowledged. And every day, when I am referred to as S/he and Hir under the guess of common female pronouns, I will smile because I know the true spelling that implies their androgyny.

Sex Toy Smackdown #2, Part Two: Great Masturbations

Welcome to part two of this month’s Sex Toy Smackdown “Great Masturbations.” In this particular sex toy battle royale we are pitting two high end luxury toys against each other to see who emerges victorious- Jimmy Jane’s Form 4 Vs. NJoy’s Pure Wand.

The Pure Wand was one of those toys I didn’t understand until I actually used it (I got to borrow someone else’s before committing to buying it. I highly recommend making friends with people who will share their condom-wrapped, sterilized toys with you). It just looked sort of arty and pretentious to me. Oh, I was so wrong! Spoiler: the Pure Wand is going to win this thing. Because it is the BEST SEX TOY EVER.

Retail price: $108ish

Specs: 8" long, 1.5” diameter at thickest point, 1.5 pounds (!!!)

Appearance:
A heavy, curved, stainless steel wand capped with balls at both ends, sort of like a giant piece of piercing jewelry that Fakir Musafar would wear through his nipples. One ball is big and one ball is small. You pick an end to insert into a (non-mouth) orifice and use the other end as a handle to fuck yourself with.

The best part is that it comes in an elegant leatherette box with black velvet and pink satin lining, which makes for super classy and convenient storage!

Special features:
This toy is solid stainless steel which means it’s extremely easy to clean and sterilize. This also gives the Pure Wand a nice weight and pressure, and it retains heat or cold impressively well. It tends to get hot just from being used internally.

The Pure Wand be used vaginally or anally though it’s way too heavy for me to feel comfortable sticking it up my ass. I think this is probably a better anal toy for XY bodied people as it’s a g-spotter and probably hits the P-spot well.
Stylish as fuck and comes with its own fancy storage box.

And if you're looking for a sex toy that doubles as a weapon, this pretty much fits the bill. Imagine clocking an attacker with it!

Orgasmic Factor:
OH. MY. GOD.

I will preface this by saying I am super G and A spot oriented (I have an article about the A Spot coming out on Eden Cafe soon if you're not familiar with it). The Pure Wand is hands down the most intense and incredible G spot stimulation I have ever felt. The curve and weight of the toy work together to literally lock down the location of your g spot, and stimulate the fuck out of it. It works like this- the first inch or two of the vagina is the tightest and most muscular part of the canal, with the deeper part being more flexible and open (which also explains how fisting works). So basically the “ball” at the end this toy slides past the tight part onto the more flexible part, where it kind of hooks in and forms a seal where it won't easily slip out. The handle curves up and over the mons. As you pull on the toy, it catches on the tighter muscular part, which is where the G Spot is located, putting intense pressure on it. (It generally won’t slip out all the way like a normal dildo unless you are extremely wet and aroused.) As you fuck yourself with it, you’ll pretty much toggle back and forth between the A (in front of the cervix) and G spot, which is freaking amazing (some G spot toys are too short or shaped wrong to hit the A Spot, but the Pure Wand is perfect.) So if you are one of those people who are “not sure” if they have a G Spot, this is a pretty foolproof way to find out on your own, because you’ll quickly KNOW if you do. Of course, if you’re one of those people who really doesn’t have a G Spot, you’ll be pissed that you just dropped $100+, so see if you can try a friend's first.

If you’re already a member of the cult of G Spot Stimulation, get ready to MELT. This thing hits the spot like nothing else. Used in tandem with the magic wand, I cum under 2 minutes every time. YOW.

Another thing I like about this toy is it’s legitimately ergonomic and super easy on the wrists compared to fucking yourself with a standard dildo. Because the handle curves toward you, it’s really easy to fuck yourself with it without your hands and wrists getting tired from gripping it. The only problem is the handle curves over the clit, making it difficult to use with a vibrator. I suppose this would be ok if you're the type that can off on friction alone, but I generally need a vibe to cum. I quickly discovered how to angle the handle to the side so that I can use the vibrator with it, but I am secretly hoping NJoy comes out with a vibrating version of the Pure Want at some point.

This toy is SO worth the money if you enjoy G Spot stimulation. It is the most impressively designed toy I have ever owned- a lot of the new stuff on the market seems kind of gimmicky and overrated to me, but this lives up to the hype and fits my body perfectly. So the Pure Wand emerges victorious in Sex Toy Smackdown #2. Don’t get me wrong, I am crazy about my Form 4, but I can’t help but love my Pure Wand just a little bit more. ;)

I've also started hoarding dollars for the Eleven- the Pure Wand's $300, 11", 3 pound beast of an older brother. Because I am insane, and can't get enough NJoy!

You can read more reviews of the Pure Wand at EdenFantasys!

Andro Lust, Part 1.

As many of you know, my gender identity is androgyne. (I've decided I like s/he as my preferred pronoun because the pronounciation is easy but the split is conveyed in writing).

I have been thinking about who my androgyne style icons are after seeing this fab Tilda Swinton feature in W, and decided to share. I admit a lot of these folks are tall and skinny since that seems to be the most gender neutral body territory, but I do think it's possible to be andro with a variety of body types.

Tilda Swinton. I love that she embraces her androgyny so thoroughly, unapologetically.

Grace Jones makes me melt with her powerful, strong beauty. Rawr.

David Bowie was my adolescent crush supreme.

Anne Carlisle played herself as a man and a woman in "Liquid Sky."

Alan Cumming...He was *so* good on the L Word!

Milla Jovovich looking andro sexxxy

Janelle Monae and her neo-teddygirl flava...

Hilariously awesome Japanese rock star Gackt...

Man, is it hot in here? This may need to be an ongoing series...

(I should probably get a tumblr, huh?)

gap tooth in your mouth so my dick's got to fit: the delightfully gay heyday of the G Funk era

A while ago, I read this great article on Cracked.com: The 15 Most Baffling Boasts in the History of Rap

I was in the car with my guydyke BFF Brazilian Maik trying to get some gelato when "Fuck Wit Dre Day" came on:


(how weird is it to see young Dre and Snoop Dogg? Hard to believe this song is almost 20 years old now...)

And I had to share this passage from #10 in the aforementioned article in regard to the lyric "gap tooth in your mouth so my dick's got to fit." (after cueing the song to this exact line):

"Has an attempt at slander ever backfired as horribly as this? Not only does Dre indicate that his dick can fit between the wide gap in his target's teeth, but seems to imply that his dick fits between even normally spaced teeth (where the extra gap gives him confidence that it's got to fit).It's not just that he's implying he has a freakishly small penis, it's that he has to be exaggerating how small his penis is for the purpose of the boast. A penis couldn't function as a penis with a thickness of only a sixteenth of an inch. Even if he had dimensions the other way, like if Dre has a roll of six inch-wide penis tape between his legs, it's just medically impossible."

Maik and I are now obsessed with the concept of a dick so small it fits between gap teeth, and the mechanics of this concept.

Incidentally, many people haven't heard Eazy E's response "Real Motherfucking G's" which is not as good as "Fuck wit Dre Day" but is nevertheless worth a listen:



I really love the early 90s West Coast G Funk hip hop. It was all the rage with the mean popular kids in junior high, so it wasn't until I was in college that I really came to appreciate it. The Chronic was the first hip hop album I ever owned and I still really love it today.

Maik and I were also discussing the advent of "No Homo" and the strange implications of constantly insisting that your rival suck your dick, then self-consciously rectifying the statement by clarifying the intent was not homosexual in nature. Part of what I love about old school hip hop is how unapologetically effete and homoerotic it is at moments. Take for example, Snoop Dogg's bit at the end of the "The Chronic Intro" where he composes an audio letter to Eazy E and Jerry that he signs off with "sincerely yours, these muthafucking nuuuuuts!" before launching into a falsetto where he proclaims "I don't love Eazy!" like a spurned lover.



Did you know the original proposed name for "NWA" was "From Compton With Love?" (nobody wants to take credit for that one). My pretentious ex boyfriend had this whole theory about Snoop and Dre's bromance as manifestation of a traditional African storytelling trickster/hero trope. But personally, I'm more interested in Snoop Dogg's unconventional concept of masculinity as a lanky, ridiculous stoned dude in French braids who raps about taking bubble baths without sticking a "no homo" at the end of everything.

The thing I love about G Funk is in those days before the internet it just kind of seemed like a bunch of teenagers who'd accidentally gotten rich by putting on wigs and making fun of their friends (or ex friends) by writing insulting hip hop novelty songs, and recording ridiculous skits about a weed themed game show called "The $20 Sack Pyramid," and pretending to be a doctor who fucks his patients while his receptionists turns away over-eager patients:



I dunno about you, but this is exactly the kind of shit I used to do for fun with my friends before the internet.

As long as I'm aimlessly rambling about G Funk, I have to give a shout out to Lady of Rage, Death Row's underappreciated lady rapper extraordinaire who would rhyme about female masturbation and her afropuffs:



I feel like a lot of the Lady Rappers in the early 90s (LOR, Latifah, MC Lyte) had this really hot soft butch dykey vibe going on. Who knew mainstream hip hop could be so queer?

Sex Toy Smackdown #2, Part One: Great Masturbations

(Hat tip to DDD for the title of this piece!!!)

Welcome to Sex Toy Smackdown, an occasional feature on School for Scandal where I pit two or more sex toys against each other in a kind of sexy sex toy battle royale.

Let’s face it- most sex toys are fucking expensive. Which is why I’ll do pretty much anything (well, freelance writing and promotion) to get free/cheap toys. I recently got my hands on the Form 4 Vibrator by JimmyJane as a prize for going on a flyering spree for The SexPositive Film Series in Chicago, and then used a giftcard from EdenFantasys to acquire the Pure Wand from NJoy. Both of these super fancy toys retail at over $100 and are some of the highest rated sex toys on the market. But you may still be asking yourself if it’s really worth the extra bucks to get a designer toy. Let’s find out.



Retail price: $145ish

Specs: 5" long, 4" insertable in theory, 6" circumference at thickest point, 4" at thinnest point

Appearance:
Little. Pink (or Black). Different. In truth, it looks like a miniature bowling pin. The toy (apart from the metal base) is covered in matte, velvety silicone that’s super easy to clean.

Special features:
Waterproof! For the first week I brought it with me every time I took a bath or shower, because, damn!

Relatively strong, if somewhat diffuse vibrations. Quiet for its power level.

Can be used on clit or g-spot as it is insertable.

Can be used up to 7 hours when fully charged. Cordless, charged with a base that plugs into the wall, no batteries needed. The toy blinks to show how much charge is left.

3 year warranty. I don’t get this because mine was a promotional item, but it’s nice regardless.

3 control buttons, 4 vibratory patterns, 5 speeds. There’s an up button (that turns it on and increases intensity) a down button (that dials down intensity and turns it off) and a button that controls the three patterns- standard vibration, slow wave pattern, faster wave pattern, and a staccato pulse. You can “lock” the toy for travel by pushing the up and down buttons simultaneously. This is probably the most travel-friendly vibe I’ve ever owned.

Orgasmic factor:
I recently decided to put my jewelry back into my clit hood piercing (blame Fakir Musafar) which means my beloved silver bullet has a terrible tendency to made loud clacking noises and pinch when I use it. The soft texture of the Form 4 makes it much easier to use in tandem with jewelry (though I gotta say the magic wand is the big winner when used with the hoodie).

I tend to prefer very focused clitoral stimulation so I found it sort of hard to get over the edge with this toy as the vibration is more diffused. (I’m sure I could get used to it if I used it more frequently). The upside of this is even though the motor is in the “head” the whole damn toy vibrates which makes it excellent for internal use. I've been wanting a vibrating insertable for a while, so I like to get the setting right, through a condom over the wider end to protect the metal bit, and insert it base-first while simultaneously using another vibrator on my clit. (I realize it was designed to be used small end first, but it stays in and feels better when reversed).YEAH, BABY.

I fucking love this thing. It’s cute, it’s convenient, it goes everywhere and anywhere (well, maybe not up my ass since it doesn't have a flared base). I would definitely like to try some of the other Jimmyjanes in future. I will be honest and say this vibe is not my #1 favorite for clitoral stimulation though it could probably grow on me, but it's definitely a great vibrating insertable. Worth the money? Fuck yeah.

In Part Two, I will review the Pure Wand and come to a FINAL VERDICT about which toy is a better investment for your big bucks!!!
