Well, I guess it took a thread about guitars to briefly make me come out of my cyber-hybernation. Hello y'all, how have you been?

I've noticed that multi-effects pedals/processors are rather underrepresented in this thread, so I thought I'd chime in. I personally use a Digitech GSP-21 Pro as my preamp/processor and I've got absolutely everything I need in a single unit. This model is quite dated (mid 90s), but I can still get an almost unlimited amount of sounds out of it, most of which sounding pretty darn great. I'd say that the overdrives/distortions are its most lacking feature, but then again overdrives/distortions are usually the element that's most difficult to get 'just right' in about any amp setup; unless you can manage to overdrive a tube-amp by cranking the gain/volume to excessive levels (which is what real guitar distortion essentially is), chances are your distortion won't sound 100% genuine/organic anyway. And let's face it, the majority of us aren't really allowed to rock our guitar at loud concert hall levels.

In any case, for those who plan on investing in many different effects, multi-effects are by the far the best bang for your buck: plenty of great ones are available in the $150-250 price range. They basically all incorporate every effect that you can think of in a single unit: compressor, distortion, flanger, equalizer, chorus, delay, reverb, noise gate. Many of them also include a tuner and a built-in expression pedal, if you ever feel like messing around with pitches or wah-wahs. Considering that individual pedals cost around $100 on average, you'd have to invest nearly $1,000 to have access to that many effects.

You can also still use your favorite pedals along with most of these units, if your main gear already provides your 'signature sound' and you just want to occasionally tweak it with a few chorus/delays/reverbs. Many of them come with 'effect send' and 'effect return' sockets to create an effects loop, or you could just plug your pedals before your multi-effects unit. For example if you've already got your distortion set right with your pedals/amps, you could simply use the many presets of the multi-effects processor while disabling its own internal distortion.

I'd say that the main drawback of multi-effects units is that tweaking every little parameter of your chain of effects can be quite a bit more strenuous than on a regular pedalboard. With a full pedalboard you have every knob/switch readily available for adjustment, but with a multi-effects unit you usually have to navigate through a tiny digital interface. I just tested this on my own processor, and with a long chain of effects enabled I had to press 46 times on the 'right arrow' (->) to reach the last parameter; quite a pain in the ass when you simply want to reduce your 'multi-tap feedback delay' by 10 milliseconds, haha.

Anyway, they aren't exactly ideal for a live performance setup, but if you simply play at home and want to experiment with many different kinds of sounds, they certainly can provide a whole lot of fun for a relatively low price.

Here's a demo of the Digitech RP360. Guitar Center sells the basic version for $150, or with an added expression pedal for $200. It includes over 125 different effects (32 amps, 18 cabinets, 74 stompboxes). Pretty neat/diversified sounds, especially for such an affordable price:

It should have been dealt with two weeks ago in my opinion.



It was dealt with two weeks ago, actually.
I actually agree with Magical_felix on that one. I'm not all that experienced concerning gym showers (I workout at home), but this man's intents are pretty obvious to me.

Imagine a girl tanning on a chair at a hotel's pool; the area is nearly empty and there are around a dozen of other chairs available all around the pool. Now a random guy enters the scene and sits in the chair right next to that girl. What would you honestly think of this situation? Would you seriously believe that this guy chose his chair completely randomly? I mean, even if I was lounging at a hotel's pool myself and a guy sat down in the chair right next to me, I'd find it extremely awkward; and that's not even a situation where both of us would be naked.

Some people wouldn't try to do anything more than that because they're just weird and they just like to flirt with a certain fantasy of theirs, but the intents are still pretty fucking clear to any astute person observing the scene. And as another person mentioned, there are certain 'unwritten rules' about these things: even if you wouldn't mind showering next to another guy yourself, you'd still be aware that selecting the shower right next to another guy would appear awkward and highly suspicious.

So yes, in my opinion that man was either:

a) Flirting with a gay fantasy
b) Extremely simpleminded and naive


(An acoustic remake of a 1990 song. I love the simplicity and sincerity of this.)


Faith Alone - Greg Graffin (Bad Religion)

Heard a sermon from a creaky pulpit with no one in the nave
I paid a visit to the synagogue and I left there feeling blamed
No one could tell me what to do
No one had the ability to answer me

What the world needs now is some answers to our problems
We can't buy more time, because our tender isn't valid
If your soul needs love, you can get consoled by pity
But it looks as though, faith alone won't sustain us anymore

Watched the scientists throw up their hands conceding progress will resolve it all
Saw the manufacturers of Earth's debris ignore another Greenpeace call
No one could tell me what to do
No one had the capacity to answer me

What the world needs now is some accountability
We can't buy more time, because time won't accept our money
If your soul needs love, you can always have my pity

Does lube help ease the 'oh no' sensations and the irritation on the seam?


Hmm, nice question. I'd say that lube probably won't alter the sensation all that significantly, to be honest.

Having said that, the seam really isn't all that harsh in and of itself. Silicone is still a 'soft' material, so it's really not like you could cut yourself with it or anything. I actually just tried using the edge of the tongue like a knife on my skin (moving it back and forth very rapidly), and absolutely no pain/damage occurred. I'd say it's about as sharp as my fingernails: my fingernails are rather short/blunt and I can't really provoke scratch marks with them, but I could still provoke a somewhat 'irritating' sensation with them. And concerning lube, applying a thin layer on the skin probably wouldn't change the sensation all that much, just like it wouldn't if someone was scratching your skin with short fingernails.

Mostly, it's the combination of the power delivered by this toy and the sharp contour that would be very harsh on the clitoris. I mentioned this briefly in my review, but the best way I'd describe the action of this toy is to compare it to two fingers fluttering extremely rapidly:





Imagine that a guy puts two of his fingers in the position shown above and flutters them as fast as he possibly can, while his fingernails are rather short/blunt (you can ask your boyfriend to try it on you if your imagination is lacking, haha). The sensation could vary greatly, depending on how much pressure he'd be applying and which part of your body he'd by stimulating. A light pressure on your belly would be tickling; a medium pressure all around your pubis would be arousing; a hard pressure on your breasts would be both pleasuring and lightly exasperating.

It's all good when used all over the body (and the seam really isn't all that noticeable), but I definitely wouldn't apply such an action on a girl's ultra-sensitive clitoris: that definitely could be considered trespassing into a more 'hardcore' BDSM territory. Otherwise, I really wouldn't worry about it. If you're generally okay with mild 'unpleasant' sensations (eg. cold glass dildos, ice-play, wax-play, spanking, hair-pulling, moderate biting, light nipples-pinching, etc.), chances are you'll find it more exciting than anything. Seriously, aside from the clitoris, it'd be pretty hard to really hurt/injure someone with it.

When I mentioned the 'Oh no! Oh yes!' feeling in my review, the ambiguity of the sensation is actually what can make this toy so fun. Part of you dreads the sensation, yet part of you actually enjoys it quite a lot, so the anticipation can really be thrilling; and that's especially true when you're tied/blindfolded and never know exactly what's coming next.

Honestly, that toy used all alone for teasing would rapidly become predictable/monotonous. But when combined with many other things, it truly can be a fun addition to your arsenal. I indulged in a few light BDSM sessions like that with my girlfriend, where we assembled all of our toys/accessories together and I had plenty of things at my disposal: this massager, silk scarf, cold glass dildos, hot wax, crop, flogger, even my Sensuelle Wireless Bullet was inserted inside her pussy and I could activate it at will. When you're blindfolded and your partner has so many things at his/her disposal, it's absolutely thrilling to never know what's coming next. You can't even fully 'memorize' all the sensations that your partner can possibly use on you: "Pfff, I'm sure he'll pour hot wax on my belly next, it's been a while since he did that. Oh no! He's using that massager on my nipples again, I totally forgot about that one!"

So yeah, it's definitely a fun accessory to have if you're into that kind of light BDSM play.

These look really great! I like the intense curve on this model. I'll admit, I'm kind of crushing on the silver Njoy Pure Wand you posted as well!



The Njoy Pure Wand really has reached a legendary status in the world of sex-toys in the past few years; I've yet to come across a single negative review about it. A lot of professional reviewers (who've tested hundreds of toys) actually mention that it should be a 'must-have' in your collection of sex-toys, along with a decent vibrator and a nicely shaped dildo. There are even plenty of amateur porn videos out there where girls make themselves squirt with the Njoy Pure Wand.

I actually wonder why so few companies follow that lead and produce a similar toy. I don't believe that Njoy has any patent on the shape of the Pure Wand, plus it would be relatively simple to manufacture: it's technically just a heavy piece of stainless steel. As it is, Njoy pretty much has the monopoly on it and sells you a vulgar piece of metal for nearly $100. I mean, a 2-lbs dumbbell contains just as much metal is usually sold for $5-10.

I came across a toy called the Chrome Crescent though, which is almost identical to the Njoy Pure Wand and that's available on Amazon for half the price ($40-50):





Also, one advantage that the Njoy Pure Wand certainly has over the G-Kii is that it's nearly indestructible and could last you a lifetime. The internal mechanism of the G-Kii does feel pretty sturdy and I'm sure it can resist quite a lot stress/abuse (I'm actually quite impressed/intrigued by this mechanism, working in the engineering field myself), but let's face it, it's likely to break at one point or another. With the Njoy Pure Wand, you could allow yourself to be quite rough while playing with it, whereas a woman who paid the full price for the G-Kii ($120) might possibly be a little more wary about that.

Honestly, if a woman doesn't intend to take advantage of the dual-stimulation that the G-Kii offers, the Njoy Pure Wand would probably be a better option: the mechanism of the G-Kii would just be a useless feature then, which would only make the toy more likely to eventually break. My girlfriend loves using her G-Kii equally in pretty much every way however (g-spot only or dual-stimulation), so it truly is the perfect toy for her.

This is something that I didn't properly mention in my review either, but the G-Kii does have a slight give to it when it's locked in position: I'd say that you can freely move the tip around 1/4" back and forth. And the head is also a bit smaller than the one of the Njoy Pure Wand:





This can either be an advantage or a disadvantage, depending on your masturbation style. The Njoy Pure Wand likely feels more invasive/aggressive, while the G-Kii is probably a bit more forgiving/lenient in terms of internal pressure.
Review: Je Joue G-Kii





As you may possibly have read on these forums, my girlfriend really isn't advantaged to reach g-spot orgasms. She can still feel a whole lot of pleasure vaginally and experience blended orgasms, but it's rather rare for her to experience a deep 'g-spot only' orgasm. I even tried to make her orgasm with my fingers a few times (which can work wonderfully with some girls), but more often than not it's simply not worth the trouble: my hand gets weary and she gets tired/disappointed herself before we can achieve any significant result. Often times, she simply prefers to orgasm from her clitoris while occasionally adding a bit of stimulation on her g-spot to intensify her orgasm, and this holds true both when she's masturbating alone and when she's having sex with me.

If you can somehow relate to this and would love to experience g-spot orgasms a lot more consistently, keep reading as the G-Kii from Je Joue might likely be a real game-changer for you. I should also mention this right away so you won't miss that wonderful opportunity, but the G-Kii is currently available for only $69 at PinkCherry.com (or $55 after the 20% coupon). This vibrator is usually sold for $120+ at most stores, so this is a discount of more than 50%.

Being concerned about my girlfriend's inability to achieve consistent g-spot orgasms, I wanted to invest in a reliable g-spot toy since a while. Mostly, I had read incredible reviews about the Njoy Pure Wand (left), which is apparently miraculous to achieve g-spot or squirting orgasms; the Jopen Comet (right) also received a lot of similar praise. Seriously, you can search for online reviews yourself and you'll soon realize that the positive feedback that these toys received is absolutely insane:





The ultra-pronounced curve of these toys is what really sets them apart: it's wonderful to apply a great deal of pressure on the g-spot, which can be a game-changer for a lot of women. These toys are rather expensive however (around $100), and since my girlfriend was allegedly already satisfied with her current toys, she didn't feel the need to invest in such a toy. When I stumbled across the G-Kii myself though (and the bargain mentioned above), I just couldn't help but immediately order that toy: it essentially had that ultra-pronounced curve which received a lot of praise, with quite a few extra innovative features as well.

Here are the overall specifications:

Length: 6.5"
Insertable Length: 5"
Girth: 4.1" at largest point
Width: 1.25" at largest point
Material: Silicone
Special Features: Waterproof, Multi-Speed, Multi-Function, 2 Motors, Rechargeable
Colors: Purple, Lilac, Black, Fuchsia
Retail Price: $120

And here are the 4 colors available (Purple, Lilac, Black, Fuchsia):





For everyone's information, Je Joue (which means 'I play' in French) is a high luxury brand based in London which was launched in 2008. It is much similar to Lelo, Jopen or Fun Factory in terms of quality, with a very interesting selection of toys. The G-Kii is also the second version of that toy, the first version being called the G-Ki (with only one 'i'). I'll compare the two versions very briefly further in this review, but from what I've read the new G-Kii is a huge improvement over the original G-Ki. If you're interested in this toy and wish to read a few additional reviews before buying, be sure to read reviews about the G-Kii, and not about the G-Ki.

The G-Kii is elegantly packaged, which is perfectly representative of the luxurious nature of this vibrator. After opening the protective retail box (which is already quite stylish and elegant), you'll get your hands on the primary luxury box, which is extremely thick/sturdy and which has a very compelling texture to it:





You can then open that one box to reveal your toy. A small compartment to the side will also contain the charging cord and the manual of instructions:





Aside from possessing that very particular curve which is ideal for g-spot stimulation, here's how the G-Kii is also extremely innovative: the curve can be altered in any way that you want. It also has two separate motors, and can thus be used for dual-stimulation (clitoris and g-spot). To unlock the current position and to modify the curve at will, simply press on the small dissimulated button that's located on the side of the toy. Observe how easy it is to modify the shape:





Note that the possible positions are fixed/predetermined, but there are still quite a few available and it's extremely likely that one or two of them will be perfect for your anatomy. I personally managed to find 5 positions myself, though it's not impossible that I actually missed one:





Here's what it also looks like in my hand, where you can appreciate the overall size/curve of the G-Kii (left), as well as the area that will be applied on the clitoris when it's used for dual-stimulation (right). Note that this is actually the 'straightest' position available. Quite a pronounced curve even then, as you can observe:





And here's where the two independent motors are approximately located, and where the vibrations will also be the strongest:





The reason why such a pronounced curve can truly be a game-changer when it comes to g-spot orgasms is relatively simple. First, let's compare the G-Kii to the Lelo Gigi, which is already a pretty decent g-spot vibrator who also received a lot of praise:





As you can certainly notice, although the Lelo Gigi already has a nice curve to easily reach the g-spot, the one of the G-Kii is significantly more pronounced. What this essentially means is that although the Lelo Gigi will be quite effortless to place right over your g-spot, you'll still need to forcefully press it upward with your hand if you wish to apply a lot of pressure. If your g-spot isn't particularly difficult and you don't really need a lot of time or pressure to orgasm from it, a toy like the Lelo Gigi can already be plenty satisfying for you. However, if you need a lot of pressure applied for a prolonged period of time, it can rapidly become arduous, tiresome and frustrating.

A very pronounced curve can thus be extremely valuable if you're not anatomically advantaged to orgasm from your g-spot. The more you'll insert the G-Kii inside your vagina, the more pressure you'll feel on your g-spot, it's really as simple as that. You won't even need to force anything with your hand: just tilt it very slightly and you'll instantly feel a great deal of pressure applied on your g-spot (and I'm talking about extra-strong pressure here). My girlfriend always considered g-spot orgasms laborious and rarely worth it, but with the G-Kii she can now achieve them effortlessly. It still takes her a bit more time than when orgasming from her clitoris, but she can now consistently orgasm from her g-spot pretty much any time she wants to.

There are basically two ways in which the G-Kii can be used: on the g-spot exclusively, or as a dual-stimulator. You can obviously select the degree of the curve accordingly:





When used exclusively on the g-spot, it will be much comparable to using a similar toy (eg. the Njoy Pure Wand), but in the case of the G-Kii you'll also have a few patterns of vibrations at your disposal to increase your pleasure. Using it that way can be particularly interesting if you wish to solely focus on the stimulation that's applied on your g-spot, which can be great if you're new to g-spot stimulation and desire to experiment a little. Women who prefer to stimulate their clitoris with an ultra-powerful vibrator (eg. the Hitachi Wand) might also prefer using it that way, instead of using the G-Kii as a dual-stimulator.

When used as a dual-stimulator, the main advantage of the G-Kii (as compared to regular rabbit vibrators) is that it will likely fit just about any woman's anatomy: the curve is fully customizable and the area that's applied on the clitoris is also quite large, so it's very easy to adequately stimulate both the clitoris and the g-spot at the same time. My girlfriend tried a few other dual-stimulators in the past (she even borrowed the expensive Jopen Vr3 of one of her friends), and she always had a hard time stimulating both her clitoris and her g-spot as she desired. When the vibrator was perfectly aligned on her clitoris it wasn't aligned on her g-spot (and vice-versa), which she always found frustrating more than anything. Before discovering the G-Kii, she always preferred using two different toys for dual-stimulation.

With the G-Kii, it's possible to fully stimulate both your clitoris and your g-spot simultaneously, no matter your anatomy. Moreover, a great way to use it is to shake it a little so that it will both rub against your clitoris and press against your g-spot at the very same time. By opposition, many rabbit vibrators can be a bit finicky to use; with those, often times just a slight movement can completely misalign things.

However, one disadvantage of the G-Kii is that the area that's applied on the clitoris is rather broad, which can be a bit tedious for women who prefer a very strong pinpoint stimulation. With that said, if you prefer to take your time when using the G-Kii, with a long build-up that eventually leads to an incredibly intense orgasm, this can actually be advantageous to delay your orgasm. This is especially true for women who generally orgasm much faster from their clitoris than from their g-spot, and who would like to orgasm from both at the very same time.

The G-Kii isn't the greatest toy to use during couple-play either. First, its size and its pronounced curve make it nearly impossible to lick your partner's clitoris when the toy is inserted inside her vagina. Furthermore, when used exclusively on the g-spot, since the slightest movement of the G-Kii will greatly alter the pressure and the sensation that's felt on your g-spot, it's much more appropriate to handle the toy yourself than to let a partner do so.

However, my girlfriend and I both absolutely love using the G-Kii during anal sex. Essentially, we can use it as a dual-stimulator while I'm also fucking her ass to achieve some fantastic triple-stimulation. It's very easy to maintain the G-Kii in place when it's wrapped around her genitalia, and it's also very easy to manipulate. Either of us can simply place a hand on it and shake it a little while my cock is also moving in-and-out of her ass:





It's perfectly suitable for rough sex, but we also love using it that way during sensual scenarios: my girlfriend can sit on me with my cock inserted deep inside her ass, while she's sensually massaging her pussy with the G-Kii and slowly building a very intense orgasm. I personally love kissing/licking her neck and massaging her breasts at the same time, and the sensation of her pussy juice slowly dripping on my balls is absolutely wonderful.

The G-Kii is also perfectly shaped to stimulate the prostate (this is partly why we chose the black color, by the way). I tried it a few times myself, but prostate stimulation really doesn't do much for me. The G-Kii was easy to insert inside my ass and I could definitely feel it against my prostate, but I really don't seem to be advantaged when it comes to p-spot orgasms. Frankly, if you're a single man who wishes to buy a prostate massager, there are probably a few cheaper options that can be just as effective as the G-Kii. If you're already in a couple however, the G-Kii might be worth investing into, as it's perfectly shaped both for g-spot and p-spot stimulation. Two toys for the price of one, so to speak.

The vibrations provided by the G-Kii are also very nice, especially with the creative patterns that fully take advantage of the two motors. I don't personally have a whole lot of luxury vibrators to compare the G-Kii to, but some other reviews I read mentioned that the vibrations are similar to the Lelo Mona 2 in terms of power/noise (though maybe just slightly less powerful). In total, you have 7 patterns of vibrations and 5 levels of intensity, both of which are adjustable independently. The controls are simple and located at the extremity of the toy:





Some other reviewers complained that those buttons are hard to press. I agreed when I first tried the G-Kii, but with subsequent uses they became much easier to manipulate. My girlfriend is a relatively small girl and it's not problematic at all for her: you do need to press on these buttons rather firmly, but this can actually be an advantage not to accidentally change the setting of the vibrator when it's being used.

To turn it on, simply press on the (+) button for 2 seconds; to turn it off, simply press on the (-) button for 2 seconds. To increase or decrease the intensity, you can again press on the (+) and (-) buttons. To change from a pattern to the next, simply press on the middle button.


The 7 patterns of vibrations are as follow:

1- Steady vibrations in both the base and the head
2- Steady vibrations in the base only
3- Steady vibrations in the head only
4- Vibrations that are 'launched' from the base to the head (with a steady rhythm)
5- Vibrations that are 'launched' from the base to the head (with a short pause)
6- Vibrations that pulsate between the base and the head (moderately)
7- Vibrations that pulsate between the base and the head (rapidly)


You have quite a few interesting options at your disposal, as you can see. My girlfriend absolutely loves the patterns #4-5, which feel very organic and visceral according to her: the vibrations gradually escalate in intensity at the base, and then are quickly thrown at the head when they reach maximum intensity. She says that those patterns feel a little as if her blood was being drained from her external pussy, and then forcefully launched right at her g-spot.

One thing that's also worth mentioning is that even if the two motors operate independently and are located apart from each other, you can still feel both of them through the entire vibrator. For example, even when the pattern #2 is active (ie. vibrations in the base only), you can still feel strong vibrations at the head of the toy. What this essentially means is that the two motors somehow work in harmony with each other, and their vibrations tend to intertwine very nicely. It's a little hard to describe precisely, but the vibrations of the G-Kii feel very sophisticated when both motors are active at the same time.

To put the toy on charge, simply use the magnetic cord that's provided. Attach it to the controls of the G-Kii (which are also magnetic), plug it into the wall, and wait until it's fully charged. Everything is done magnetically, there are no pin/port involved at all:





Charging it takes 2 hours, which will also provide 2 hours of playtime. Note that the cord can only be plugged into the wall (110V), there is no USB adapter provided. This isn't problematic in any way for me and my girlfriend, though it might still slightly limit your options in some circumstances.

My only complaint concerning the G-Kii (which really isn't one) is the manual of instructions that's provided:





As you can see, it's way too small to be read comfortably. And considering that the G-Kii is a relatively complex toy, you'll likely want to read a bit about it before using it. Luckily though, the instructions are fully available online (which can also be printed to a much more appropriate size), so it really isn't that big of a concern.

To briefly compare the G-Kii to its predecessor, here's a picture of the former G-Ki:




You might likely notice a few differences:

1- The controls are located at the back of the toy
2- The base (ie. the area applied on the clitoris) is much thinner
3- There are 2 buttons to adjust the curve (and the curve is also much more irregular)

The G-Kii is pretty much an improvement in every aspect: whereas the original G-Ki was a great idea that wasn't fully perfected, the design of the new G-Kii really is flawless. I also read that the vibrations of the G-Kii are a huge improvement over the ones of the original G-Ki. The G-Ki is still available in many stores but it's just as expensive as the new improved G-Kii, so there really isn't any reason for you to buy that older version. If you're interested in reading a few other reviews however, be sure to read reviews about the new G-Kii; otherwise, the reviewer will be describing a very different product.

Overall, the G-Kii was absolutely worth it for my girlfriend, especially since we bought it for half its usual price. She was quite a bit disillusioned regarding g-spot vibrators prior to buying the G-Kii, but that new vibrator completely changed her affinity with g-spot orgasms. There's a certain learning curve to it (no pun intended), but the positive side is that it's also extremely versatile and malleable (again, no pun intended). All of the promised features also plenty delivered: appearance, material, function, sturdiness, vibrations, everything is perfectly representative of a high luxury toy.

Concerning if this toy will be worth it for you personally depends on which extent you'll likely use the many features of the G-Kii. If you'd like to experiment with an ultra-pronounced curve but don't usually need internal vibrations to reach orgasm, the Njoy Pure Wand might also be an interesting option. If you love vibrations but don't have a particularly difficult g-spot, most vibrators from Lelo will likely satisfy you greatly. It's really up to you, but if the features of the G-Kii somehow appeal you, I can assure you that they fully deliver.

Hope you enjoyed and feel free to ask questions!
Review: Dr. Joel Kaplan Gyrating Massager




Here's another toy which I bought to spice up the sexual interactions with my girlfriend. By looking at it, I'm sure most of you will instinctively declare: "Oh, it’s a fluttering tongue that can be used to simulate oral sex!". Wrong! Utterly wrong! It can be used for just about anything but that. Let me explain...

First of all, I actually had a fuckbuddy a few years ago who owned a much similar toy and it definitely could be used in the way mentioned above. I thought it was a hilarious toy and I just couldn't help but mischievously grab it from her drawer every once in a while, to apply an ultra-energetic tongue on her pussy. I ordered mine thinking that it would be the exact same toy, but I've been tricked. Yet still, I discovered quite a few other fun ways to use it on my girlfriend; for a price of only $20, it was still well worth the money in the end.

If you noticed already, the complete name of that toy is Dr. Joel Kaplan Gyrating Massager. The 'Dr. Joel Kaplan' line is actually a line manufactured by California Exotic Novelties and targeted for men, with most of the toys being designed for prostate stimulation (just like the Dr. Joel Kaplan Power Probe which I also reviewed). I didn't think much of it when I ordered that toy, and simply assumed that it was the exact same toy as the one that I encountered before, only with a black color and a different name to make it manlier. For the record, the other toy that my ex-fuckbuddy owned was in fact called the Gyrating Pleasing Flutter.

Now there's actually a big difference between those two toys which renders them completely different: the one that I previously encountered was made of thermoplastic rubber, whereas the new one that I bought is made of silicone. And silicone being quite a bit more rigid than thermoplastic rubber, it also significantly changes the action of the tongue and the way it can be used.

Here's a diagram to show the difference:





As you can see, although the power is exactly the same, the tongue moves very differently from a toy to the other. With the regular version, you do have a supple tongue that flutters at an insanely high speed; with the silicone version however, the tongue tends to keep its shape and only slightly move, albeit with quite a lot of power. In other words, the toy that I received 'pulsates' a lot more than it 'flutters'. Where this can be problematic is that silicone also is a relatively hard material. Combined with the fact that this toy is quite powerful, you obtain a very stiff tongue that pulsates with quite a lot of force: not so good for a poor delicate clitoris!

To make matters worse, there's a noticeable seam that runs across the toy, which makes the edges of the tongue even harsher when it's pulsating against your body:





I actually ordered that toy without my girlfriend knowing, and my initial intention was to tie her up, blindfold her, and apply that fun toy on her pussy so that she'd go: "Woahoa! What the fuck is that new accessory that you just got your hands on!?". Yes, I'm a mischievous bastard like that. With a totally different function however, I just couldn't indulge into that: it would have been way too harsh for my poor girlfriend's clitoris. I had to find other ways to use this toy, and being the sexually-resourceful person that I am, I luckily did.

Before I go on, here are the proper specifications of that toy:


Length: 8.6"
Insertable Length: 2.75"
Girth: 5.4" at largest point
Width: 1.6" at largest point
Material: Silicone
Battery: 3 x AA Batteries
Special Features: Fully waterproof, 2 Speeds
Retail price: $20


As you can notice, it's a fairly large toy, with a total length of almost 9". Here's what it looks like in my hand:





It's also powered by 3 x AA batteries, so it definitely packs a punch. To turn it on/off or to change between the two speeds, you simply have to press on the button located at the tip of the handle:





I waited quite a bit before using it on my girlfriend, sporadically testing it and trying to figure out how it could be used in a few fun ways. I finally put it to the test when she was tied up and blindfolded, as I initially intended to.

First of all, I discovered that this toy could be used as a mild torturing device just about anywhere on the body: skin, breasts, even on the asshole to provoke a harsh rimming sensation (more on that later). It's hard to describe the sensation precisely, but I'd compare it to two fingers fluttering at an incredibly high speed: part of it is pleasurable, part of it is tickling, and part of it is just plain irritating. Not a painful feeling by any means, but still a very noticeable and ambiguous sensation that somehow makes you go "Oh no, not again! Oh yes, please more!". I applied it on my girlfriend when she was tied up and blindfolded (particularly on her breasts), and it definitely was a success: it's perfect to provide an exciting rewarding/punitive sensation, which makes it ideal for light BDSM play. And no worries, she also tried it on me at a later point: I’m an asshole, but I’m a fair asshole.

It can also provide an extremely pleasurable sensation on the clitoris, but not in the way that it was intended to (ie. a fluttering tongue). As I mentioned previously, the edges/power of that toy would simply much too harsh for that. Instead, it can be applied on the clitoris similar to a scoop, as pictured below:





When used that way, the vibrations will provide a sensation that's entirely different from what regular vibrators can provide. Whereas regular vibrators simply 'vibrate' at a depth that's rather superficial, this toy 'pulsates' quite deeply into your body. Imagine that instead of having a finger that's lightly tickling your clitoris, you have a whole hand that's shaking your pussy quite vigorously. This is particularly interesting for women who love to stimulate the deeper parts of their clitoris (remember, most of the clitoris is actually hidden internally). My girlfriend is fairly easy to satisfy when it comes to clitoral stimulation and she loves pinpoint/broad/shallow/deep sensations pretty much equally, but this toy is quite unique and perfect to add a bit of variety. She even borrowed it from me a few times to use it all alone by herself when masturbating, although I definitely wanted it back at my place just in case I felt like using it again during our BDSM scenarios.

It can also be used during cunnilingus, in many different ways. It can obviously be used externally in the way described above while taking short breaks with your tongue, but it's absolutely possible to use it internally as well, to stimulate the g-spot:





The portion of this toy that's shaped like a tongue is 2.75” long, which makes it ideal to stimulate the g-spot (which is usually located 2-3” inside the vagina). As well, since the portion that pulsates is rather large, you won't really have to 'find' the g-spot: simply insert it in your partner's pussy, hold it there, and it will provoke quite a pleasurable sensation on her g-spot. As I mentioned previously, the action of this toy is much similar to two fingers fluttering very rapidly, so when inserted inside your pussy it will feel like two fingers pressing against your g-spot with quite a lot of speed and power. Again, the pulsations of this toy can be felt pretty deeply, so this is ideal to stimulate the deeper parts of your vagina.

My girlfriend has a rather difficult g-spot (I assume that it's located deeper in the walls of her vagina as compared to many other women), and she absolutely loves the sensation. The first time I tried it inside of her during oral sex, I was pretty much mindlessly testing how this toy could be used in many different ways. After only a few minutes, she was experiencing spasms and moaning quite loudly, which totally took me by surprise; I just couldn't help but throw at her a spontaneous: "Oh my god! Are you fucking kidding me!?". She can achieve consistent blended orgasms with it, fairly easily.

As you can observe on the image above, it's also possible to bend the toy downward during oral sex. This can be advantageous to apply a bit more pressure on the g-spot, but more importantly it's ideal to get it out of the way and to lick your partner's pussy adequately. Despite being a rather large toy, it's actually pretty discreet when used during cunnilingus: just insert it inside your partner's pussy, bend it downward, hold it there, and let your own tongue do its usual magic. It isn't overly noisy either, which is always an advantage.

As I briefly mentioned previously, it can also be used for rimming your partner's asshole. Again, you just have to hold it in place and it will provoke a fun "Oh no! Oh yes!" sensation between her butt-cheeks. I can even hold that toy on her asshole with one hand, work a come-hither motion on her g-spot with the other, while also licking her clitoris with my tongue. Multi-tasking at its best!

Although this toy remains particular and somewhat unessential, I do recommend it, mainly because it can provide sensations that are entirely different from what the great majority of regular vibrators can usually provide. If you're a bit tired of those superficial vibrations that all seem similar from one vibrator to the other and want to try something that's completely different, this toy might be worth trying out; in the worst case scenario, you'll only be losing a mere $20. As well, it can be used all over your partner's body and can be very useful if you're looking for a fun 'exasperating-yet-pleasurable' accessory to use during light BDSM scenarios.

Hope you enjoyed and feel free to ask questions!
Review: Dr. Joel Kaplan Power Probe




First and foremost, I have an important announcement to make regarding this toy: although it is marketed as a prostate massager (and I bought it for this very purpose myself), I ended up using it a lot more on my girlfriend than on myself. Women, before disregarding this review by thinking that it is only addressed to men, please know that there's definitely something in there for you too!

Since around a year ago, I've been intrigued more and more by p-spot orgasms. I only rarely indulged in ass-play before, but reading about the mind-blowing experiences of some men on Lush regarding the alleged intensity of p-spot orgasms, I figured that I had to experience this for myself. I mostly tried to massage my prostate with my fingers under the shower a few times, but alas the results were very disappointing: I just couldn't achieve any pleasurable sensation that way.

As I was finalizing yet another order of various fun couples' toys, I thought that adding a prostate massager would be a good idea to finally stimulate my prostate as intensely as I could. My girlfriend proposed me to use one of her former g-spot toy prior (the First Time G-Spot Tulip, to be exact), but although I was finally disposed to insert objects inside my ass, the idea of inserting a pretty lavender toy in there just didn't feel right to me. "Stay outside of this," I told my girlfriend, "I need a manly toy to stimulate my manly ass".

The massager that I finally purchased is the Dr. Joel Kaplan Power Probe. Honestly, I really don't give much of a fuck who Dr. Joel Kaplan is, but this is essentially a line manufactured by California Exotic Novelties and marketed as vibrators for men. The collection is quite varied however, with most of the vibrators being in the $20-50 price range:





Being an anal-novice myself, I really didn't have precise criteria in mind when I ordered my massager. I chose the one I ordered quite randomly I must say: it simply seemed like a right choice to me. I did wanted something that vibrated though, to stimulate my prostate as intensely as I possibly could. I only paid around $15 for that toy and received it a few days later by mail.

My personal review is going to be extremely short: prostate stimulation really doesn't do much for me. I tried using this vibrator a few times, either all alone by myself or with the help of my girlfriend, but I just couldn't achieve significant results. By the way, I also tried using the new vibrator of my girlfriend in the last few months (the G-Kii by Je Joue), and the results were just as weak. I really don't seem to be advantaged for p-spot orgasms, just like a few women aren't advantaged for g-spot orgasms either. This is not to say that this toy is completely inadequate to stimulate the prostate: it might be very useful for some other men, but it just happens that p-spot stimulation really doesn't do much for me.

I’m obliviously not the best reviewer when it comes to prostate massagers, but I can still point out some flaws in the design of this toy. First, it's much too short: when inserted inside your ass only 1-2" will stick out, which can make it difficult to manipulate it or to provoke a vigorous movement on your prostate. Second, it doesn't have a proper curve, which isn't ideal to easily reach the prostate. Third, the tip is very narrow which again can make it difficult to locate your prostate adequately: I'd much recommend a large bulbous head for that.

Anyway, it's still possible that some men will be able to experience very pleasurable sensations with it, but it just doesn't seem ideal to me. As I mentioned previously however, I also tried my girlfriend's G-Kii in the past few months: the design is theoretically perfect to stimulate the prostate, but even that toy didn't produce any significant results for me:





Now to my great surprise, this vibrator happened to be an excessively fun toy to use with my girlfriend. I washed it thoroughly after my prostate experimentations, and decided to test how it delivered as a couples' toy. First and foremost, let me properly introduce the specifications of this toy:


Length: 6"
Insertable Length: 4.5"
Girth: 3.7" at largest point
Width: 1.1" at largest point
Material: Silicone
Battery: 1 x AA Battery
Special Features: Fully waterproof, 2 Speeds
Retail price: $15-20


As you can observe, it's basically a medium-sized vibrator (6" long). It's entirely covered with silicone as well, which is quite rare for a toy of this price ($15-20). It's also fully waterproof (tested by yours truly) and has two different speeds. Here's what it looks like in my hand, and compared to a Pocket-Rocket:





I’m comparing it to the Pocket-Rocket because it has the exact same power input (1 x AA Battery) and also has a much similar design. It's significantly bigger than a Pocket-Rocket, but it's essentially a Pocket-Rocket covered with silicone, with very similar levels of vibration/noise. My girlfriend has always been partial to Pocket-Rockets when it comes to clitoral stimulation, so that new vibrator inevitably became a fun alternative toy to use for her.

As I said the vibrations and the noise produced by this vibrator are similar to the Pocket-Rocket. However, because it is fully covered with silicone they're also both quite a bit different: the vibrations are a bit attenuated and the noise is a bit muffled. Not by a considerable margin regarding to the vibrations, but enough to provide a different sensation: whereas the hard plastic of the Pocket-Rocket tends to produce vibrations that are buzzy and easily discernable, the silicone of the Power Probe tends to produce vibrations that are a little deeper and fuzzier. It's a subtle difference, and my girlfriend enjoys both pretty much equally, but it still adds a bit of variety if you're into those small clitoral vibrators.

In terms of noise, the silicone coating makes it pretty quiet, but there's a certain shortcoming: sometimes the silicone seems to vibrate against the inner part of the vibrator, which can make it rather loud and annoying. This mostly happens in very specific positions when you're holding the vibrator in the air however; when you're applying some pressure on it to stimulate different erogenous zones, it almost never happens and it's relatively quiet.

As I also mentioned previously, this vibrator also has two different speeds available: high and low. To turn it on or to change the speed, you only have to press on the button located at the tip of the handle. Most women will likely use this vibrator on the higher setting, but the lower setting can also be nice if you ever need to use it more discreetly (if you have roommates or children, for example).

Where this small toy really shines is how its shape can be so versatile to stimulate the female genitalia. I wasn't all that enthusiastic about it when I first decided to test it with my girlfriend, but as we kept playing with it I really thought to myself: "Wow, that little thing is quite handy in so many situations!". It can be used either externally or internally to stimulate the clitoris or the g-spot, the head is perfect for both precise or broad stimulation, and it's very easy to use during either solo-play, cunnilingus or regular intercourse.

As a clitoral stimulator, the shape is ideal for both pinpoint and broad stimulation. This is particularly interesting if you're the kind of woman who doesn't really prefer one over the other and who likes to easily alternate between the two:





During cunnilingus with a partner, it's also very useful to stimulate the g-spot. I personally abhor using large toys when performing oral sex on a girl (8" and over): they tend to get in the way quite significantly and it's much harder to locate the g-spot with them. For those who are familiar with Lelo toys, this vibrator is similar in size to the Lelo Gigi, as pictured below:





As you can observe above, whereas the Lelo Gigi has a metal ring to distinguish the part that's meant to be used internally, the Power Probe has a narrower section around the same location. This is extremely useful when another person is stimulating your g-spot, for one main reason: it's possible to memorize how deep the toy must be inserted to be perfectly aligned on the g-spot. When I'm using it on my girlfriend, I know exactly how close or how far the tip of the toy is from her g-spot, simply by observing the position of the 'narrower section' relatively to the opening of her pussy: in her own case, I'll be right on her g-spot when the middle of that 'narrower section' will be perfectly aligned with the opening of her pussy. This is almost impossible to achieve with a longer toy that's perfectly straight: in such a situation, I have to keep guessing until my partner tells me that it's on her g-spot.

As you can also expect, only 2" will be sticking out of your partner's vagina when stimulating her g-spot: this is ideal to perform oral sex at the same time, where a longer toy could definitely get in the way to lick her pussy adequately. Personally during cunnilingus, I also enjoy using smaller bullet vibrators (similar to the Sensuelle Wireless Bullet) to insert a few fingers inside my partner's pussy and to take a more proactive role, but a slightly bigger vibrator like the Power Probe is also a great option if you simply want to let it rest against her g-spot; that way, it's much easier to fully concentrate on the movement of your tongue.

As it is with clitoral stimulation, this toy can both be used for precise or broad stimulation when used on the g-spot:





The tip of the vibrator is somewhat flexible, so pressing it against the g-spot won't be as painful/uncomfortable as it might seem at first glance. As I'm demonstrating below, it's entirely possible to deform the silicone sleeve, so it really won't feel like a hard piece of plastic when inserted inside your vagina:





That tip is also about the size of a finger, so when used to stimulate your g-spot it will feel more or less like a fairly rigid finger that's titillating the upper wall of your vagina. I personally like to provoke a slight in-and-out motion when I’m using it that way, to playfully rub it against the g-spot of my girlfriend.

For a broader sensation, the opposite side of the curve can also be used on the g-spot: when used that way, it's possible to apply more pressure and it's also much easier to locate the g-spot, so this is an extremely viable option too. As compared to most regular vibrators, the curve also allows a much larger area to be stimulated, as represented below:




This vibrator is also extremely useful when used during proper penetration. As opposed to many other toys, it really won't get in the way when applied on the clitoris:





As you can see, the curved tip is ideal to stimulate the clitoris without interfering with the movements of your partner. Likewise, you won't have to hold it in place awkwardly for a lengthy period of time: you'll simply have to rest your hand comfortably on your hip-bone while both the dick of your partner and the hook of the vibrator will do wonders to your pussy.

Although this vibrator didn't do much for me in terms of prostate stimulation, I thought I'd share my bedroom experiences with it nonetheless because both my girlfriend and I thoroughly enjoy using it. We don't use it all the time, but its small size and its versatile shape makes it an ideal toy to carry around and to keep nearby during sex. It's obviously not a luxury toy, but for a price of less than $20 it's certainly well worth the money: it's made of silicone, it's neat and discreet, it's reliable, the vibrations are more than decent, and above all else it's incredibly versatile.

I highly recommend this vibrator, both for couples or for young girls on a budget who'd like to experiment with many different sensations!
It really wouldn't add much to my own experience, personally. My profile is set as my homepage, and I always leave 2 tabs open for my profile and for the main page of the forum; then I venture elsewhere on the site by opening new tabs.





I'd probably never click on that 'profile' icon. But yeah, other people might enjoy it and it wouldn't be a nuisance at all either. Go for it!

Seems like absolutely no one was interested in that thread, haha.

Here are the results of this study nevertheless. In order of preference, women chose:


1- General cosmetic appearance
2- Appearance of pubic hair
3- Girth
4- Appearance of skin
5- Shape of glans
6- Length
7- Appearance of scrotum
8- Position/shape of urinary opening


And here's an article summarizing this study: http://www.nhs.uk/

I guess guys will predominantly be interested in those findings. Length is relatively low on the list of priorities, as you can observe. Guys, stop bragging about the length of your dick and try to maintain those pubes in an acceptable condition instead!



Porn in a relationship

By reading these forums the great majority of women seem fairly tolerant/enthusiastic about porn, but let's face it, it can also be a considerable source of jealousy in a couple. I'm not so sure that the average woman would be thrilled to discover that her partner frequently masturbates to hot pornstars who are half her age and half her weight.

Just last week at the cafeteria of my work, I overheard a conversation between two middle-aged women (mid-40s). Their dialogue was pretty much: "One of my friends caught her boyfriend masturbating to porn! What a jerk, I hope she'll find a better man, he's so unworthy of her!"

I own an impressive collection of porn myself and none of my girlfriends ever cared much about it; it's extremely unlikely that I'd establish a relationship with a girl that's utterly shocked by porn though, so maybe my previous relationships were relatively biased that way. I'm also rather independent and don't see my girlfriend much during the week, so it's not like the porn that I watch is excessively competing against her either.


It still makes me wonder however:

- Are there some circumstances where porn could make you feel jealous/uneasy?

- Is there such a thing as 'too much porn' for you in a relationship? What are your boundaries?

- Do you try to keep track of the porn that your partner watches, or turn a blind eye and don't mind it at all?


Thanks for sharing!

b) Members can upload any shaped image they like for their avatar, but a square selection tool is superimposed on it, so they can choose which square area of the image to use as their avatar. That should be able to be resized to any size square.



That would be the better option, in my opinion.

Concerning option a), the main issue with it would be that members who don't know how to crop images would be extremely limited in their choice of avatars; they'd obligatory have to search for square images, which can be quite a major nuisance. The great majority of pictures have a rectangular shape (either portrait/landscape) when you search for them over the web.

Say a member would love to use this image as his avatar:





That'd be quite a letdown to learn that he can't use it and must use a completely different image, just because he doesn't have access to the proper software to crop it. Option b) would somehow provide an 'internal cropping tool', which would be a lot more fair and convenient.

And members would also be allowed to frame their avatars exactly how they want to, without an automated code doing it for them with weird proportions/positions. I actually wouldn't be surprised at all to learn that members who currently use rectangular avatars only do so because they don't know how to crop images. Option b) could also provide an easy solution to that, which I'm sure would be appreciated by many.
