In response to Cinni, and actually getting my first toy...here's a review I posted to a private group in my LJ...let me know what you think. My first review of this particular type.

***Start***

Well, recently I just got my paws on my first real toy. Some of you might not realize I had lacked one until now. Let me just say in response that I don't call myself the MacGuyver of Masturbation for nothing.

Anyway, the toy in question is a lovely Kit Fox toy from Zeta Creations...and I shall now do my best to give a review of the toy or a recap of the situation, or whatever. My current model is a glow turqoise with vibrating egg attachment. The color is slighlty transperant and prettier than one would suspect. I have no idea of the glow properties, since I've never been able to make anything that "glows in the dark" do so. In most cases, I prefer a more natural coloring...but as it stands, it could be a pretty good test of affection. To quote a comedian whose name I forget, "You gotta really love someone to come at them with a purple dick."

Anyway, the toy was somewhat softer than I had anticipated (Medium Hardness), but still worked quite well for my purposes and I get the feeling anything too much harder might not be flexible in the cases it needs to be. The tip of the toy is a mostly broad flat head, at about a 45 degree angle. This makes initial penetration a bit tricky, but gives it a wonderful feeling. The shaft is not especially thick, but gives a good feeling of being filled.

The toy's major claim to fame, is of course, the canid inspired knot near the base of it. The knot is roughly triangle shaped and about twice as wide as the shaft. In my intitial test of the toy, I could not, despite a long play seission and many tries, take this knot. (I had great fun and pleasure attempting it though.) It was a combination of two factors: the width and shape of the knot itself, and the difficulty I had of finding someplace for the shaft already inside me to go. This will require two things to fix: some research, and possibly more exploration of the area, and of course...practice. The research will be the vexing part. I know of a female sexuality site, but I have no knowledge of any male sexuality sites. Plus the information I require is on taking anal penetration, which to most people (in this country) is a decidedly unmale and macho thing. I don't follow the mainstream opinion there, but I must be aware that it exists and may make research difficult.

The vibrating egg addition to the toy is contained within the large base. it's ability to vibrate the shaft is minimal, and I have to believe that this particular part of the toy will demonstrate its usefulness once I am able to take the knot. The knot is a good large section very close to said vibrator...I think it will provide very interesting stimulation.

Overall, the toy is a lot of fun...but in hindsight, is definately not a beginner toy. This is for the more advanced person, who has had some practice with other toys in the past.

It's a good value I think. Anyway...I'll open the floor to questions. This is the first review of this type I ever made, and am not entirely sure what else, if anything, should be included.

You got yours from Zeta Creations too?

Cool!

Mine's a blue metallic canine toy, the Wolf one they call Ruff's Stuff. No vibrating egg.

Haven't managed to take the knot yet. But I have had a great deal of fun trying.

This thread seems an appropriate place for this discussion. :)

Lube!

I've yet to find a lube I actually like. Right now I have probably 10 different brands of lube in my toy box, and Longs brand Lubricating Jelly (store-brand KY clone) still seems to be the best.


Some random ones I've tried:

KY: dries too quickly, doesn't lubricate much.

Trojan brand lube: too thin and watery, doesn't lubricate at all.

Aqualube: too thin, and stinks like hell. Remind me to never, every buy a scented lube again.

Wal-mart's generic KY: see KY

Rite-aid's generic KY: see KY

Wet platinum: silicone; too irritating to use.

Wet original: a little thin, won't stay put, drips off toys leaving them (and you) completely dry.

KY Liquid/light/whatever: Too thin, doesn't lube toys.

Longs' generic KY: Quite a bit better than KY, actually. What I usually use, and still my current favorite. Has a habit of getting all over the room and needing frequent reapplying though.

Astroglide Gel: Tried last night. Thick and slimy, but somehow seems to vanish during using it, and doesn't adhere to toys at all. If spread on the toy, it just gets slid to the base of the toy. If squirted in, still doesn't lube the toy or your anus. Absolutely no lubrication whatsoever. Toy was DRY. Gave up after using about an ounce or two of it (a third the bottle) and still not being able to use the toy for more than 5 seconds until the toy was dry. WTF? Positively worthless, and the worst of the list.

And I can't remember the others. blah. :)


What do other people use that works? Some of these might work for an actual penis, but they really don't work for toys...

I need something that doesn't just get the strapon/dildo in, but stays slipperly during fucking... which seems hard to find!

Any suggestions?

Well, I recently tried Astroglide: Sensual Strawberry. Good stuff...but thin. Basically, be prepared to make a bit of mess to get enough of it slippery enough. Water based though, so said mess isn't hard to clean. Tastes like strawberry candy too, so truth in advertising there. There's a (slightly) more detailed rundown in the TMI section of my LJ.

Click me...you know you want to.

Just to reiterate, this stuff is probably thinner than you'd like it to be. But it works for my purposes.

Edit: Although there are like 10,000 different lubes on that page, so maybe you can find something you want.

Edit2: And the one beneath it is specially made for toys. Might be good to give a go?

Edit3: Also, if you meant a link to my LJ post...it's security locked, and you'd need an LJ account as well as permission to view it. So I'll post it:

"Well, recently got to try out a new lube, and thought I might leave some simple thoughts on Astroglide: Sensual Strawberry. I'm not really in the mood for a full out review, so I'll just nail the pertinent facts...

Sliperryness: It's very slippery, but also thin. So be ready to make a mess to get enough of it around where you want it. Consistency wise, it looks and feels just like pre.

Taste: Since it's flavored, I did taste it. It does actually taste like Strawberry candy. And since it doesn't cost anymore than normal astroglide, I'll probably stick with it. Mmm...strawberry. Smells like strawberry too.

Value: The large bottle was surprisingly small, but due to the slipperyness, it would probably be quite enough for several seissions. It should just be noted that as a thinly viscous and very slippery liquid, you should be prepared for it to get everywhere, and make quite a mess.

Overall: I'd buy it again. Just be prepared because this stuff is inherently messy. Since it's mostly water though, I don't think you need to worry about stains."

Yep, I meant a link to the LJ page... but I don't have an LJ account, and have no plans to have one, so I guess it didn't matter.

I absolutely hate scented products... so wouldn't want the strawberry stuff. and I don't like too thin...

Hrmm. Fox's Lube Reviews? any others? :)

I'll need to try ordering a couple of those... I've tried just about everything available locally; guess it's time to try online.


Thanks,

Have limited experience with lube.

Am still on first bottle. :)

First bottle is ID Glide Sensual Lubricant. Works. Seems to last, is water based. Does not need to be used in vast quantities, but bottle is running low

Have picked up another bottle. Wet Original Gel. Will post to indicate effectiveness, in comparison to ID Glide.

*Thumbs through a peculiar thick tome* Ah here it is 'Level 3 Necromancy'. *Preforms the arcane hand jestures described* I obviously went archive diving and found this gem to be relevent to this time of the year again.

I feel somewhat lost. :-?

But at least I haven't been squicked by any of this thread's content. :D

Ah good memories. Unfortunately I have nothing to add to the subject as I've had no new experiences reguarding it in the year. Working on changing that though, it might take a little longer if I go into a monogamous relationship with a girl. Actually it might happen sooner, my birthday is less than a month away. Either way I'll keep you guys updated.

Did anal sex become impossible with women?

:o

The only supplier of dildonium, used to make all the world's strapons didn't mysteriously vanish or something, right?

Look out Allan, Andrick looks like he's tempted to break out the hose for a pre-emptive strike!

I only said "might take a little longer", most girls don't like it up the ass nd wouldn't let a guy do it in the first few weeks of a relationship and I don't know how long it will take before I'd feel comfortable saying "I wan't you to fuck me in the ass with a strapon." Which would probably not be a strapon because I have no money at all.

What's to say she doesn't have a strap-on, Max? *nudges the griffon-taur*

I will back MC about women and anal sex: by and large, they just don't like it. I forget what men's magazine I was reading (Maxim? Esquire?) but an article was written about a world-wide survey of women's preferences when it came to sex. Brazil rated as the country with the largest percentage of the female population that enjoys anal sex... at 3%.

And, no MF, I don't break out the hose for threads clearly identified as sexual topics or for occassionally bawdy banter. The hose is to seperate people who are "cybering" into foreplay or otherwise beeing unseemly in their "friendliness." I'm trying to come up with a better analogy than dogs and peoples' legs.

At the risk of giving too much personal information (although it's threads like this that stop her coming to the forums, and yes she does read UH), I'll say we did talk about her sex toys but that's still a very good point, she is bisexual, figures one could come in handy for her.

In other news, I'm thinking of leaving the griffon fursona behind and perhaps going for a cat or something. *shrugs*

Is THAT why I never get any female forumites? Too much extant testosterone on-board?

Yeah, but, see, would we all be here if we didn't like testosterone? ;)
