For Anal: Ina Wave vs. Loki Wave

I have often said that the sex toy industry is quite often too gender-specific for its own good. Case in point, of the 8 sex toys I have reviewed for my Nude Dude Review, 4 - half of them are marketed to females. Yet, my male body got great enough pleasure from them that by the end of the video, I had stripped down to some very skimpy underwear.

This brings me to the target toys of this article. The Ina Wave, a rabbit vibrator marketed to females, and; The Loki Wave, a vibrating prostate massager marketed to males.

By my working at a sex shop when these 2 sex toys came out, I got my hands on both of them. Now, many would expect that as a male, I would favor the Loki Wave over the Ina Wave. Well, you would be quite wrong.

I actually prefer the Ina Wave. In fact, I have even said to co-workers and customers that to my body, the Loki Wave feels like a nice sex toy, but the Ina Wave...makes me feel like I have an actual guest.

Perhaps the slight difference in shape of the area that lays on my taint is a factor. I definitely know that the width of that part is a factor for me.

For when I and/or a playmate plays with my taint, I prefer a finger. Approximately the size of the external stimulator on the Ina Wave, which also reaches the right length along my taint. Meanwhile, the external stimulator on the Loki Wave is more suitable for someone who prefers fingers (plural), and at a longer length for their external stimulation, be they male or female. I know this from a discussion with a former female co-worker who said that she preferred the Loki Wave over the Ina Wave for her vaginal pleasure.

Also, when placed side by side, I found the Ina Wave can go a tad deeper inside than the Loki Wave. So that slighter depth plus that motion might very well land on my prostate in a way to be more stimulating.

Even though this article has been a long time coming, I hope that the next time you consider buying one of the two, give the other a look. Because the one marketed to bodies of the opposite gender might actually be the one you're looking for.

Trust me on this. Because remember, I have a history of discovering such things. 😉

Sex Toy Review: We-Vibe Vector

The folks at We-Vibe have long been kind in recognizing me as a voice in the sex industry. So when I had a question about their new prostate massager, Vector, they extended that kindness by sending me one for review, and to find the answer myself.

Before even receiving my Vector, at my day job at The Pleasure Chest, I led quite a few customers away from LELO's remote-controlled prostate massager Hugo to We-Vibe's Vector. Simply by stating 3 key differences between the 2 remote prostate massagers that work in Vector's favor:

BIG price difference. An unjust price difference taking into account the next 2 differences;
We-Connect app makes the Vector able to be controlled beyond the usual 30 ft. limit of remotes, and create your own pattern;
The Vector is adjustable. Making it more easily to truly hit one's prostate. Or g-spot if one chooses to use it vaginally.

Now that I have received a Vector of my own, I am please to announce that all of these differences have been proven correct. And pleasingly so.

As a little revelation of my review process, when I'm reviewing a sex toy, I masturbate while watching porn. As I have said in the past, it is usually straight porn. And whether I'm using a sex toy or not, I try to make my masturbation session last as long as the 1st male ejaculation in the porn scene. This is where the adjustability of the Vector comes into play.

For my adjusting the Vector stimulated my prostate so much that I didn't even make it to 18 minutes of the 28 1/2 minute scene I was watching before I orgasmed. So this toy hit the spot that good.

To backtrack, the question I asked about the Vector was as to whether or not it responded to the FeelMe app. In hope of perhaps another great masturbation session like I had with We-Vibe's dual stimulator Nova. Unfortunately, the answer to that question is NO. However, based on the outcome I mentioned while watching the porn I used to test the Vector (pictured above), I am not at all mad.

All that said, I highly recommend We-Vibe Vector. Any sex toy that can make me lose the control I have taught myself to have over my orgasms while watching porn I believe is definitely a toy worth investing in.

Sex Toy Review: Gläs 7" Curved Glass Dildo

There are really no special features to the Gläs 7" Curved Glass Dildo. that make it unlike most products of its kind. It is not electronic. The solid glass is compatible with all lubricants. It is accepting of heat and cold for temperature play. However, it should not be exposed to extreme heat or cold for that will cause it to break. No better than any other glass dildos.

So the reason I am writing this review is because after posting about my purchase of this dildo on my Instagram, I quickly received messages from followers reiterating what had kept me from trying out a glass dildo for so long.

Their concerns was over breakage.

The fact is though that this dildo is solid glass. Borosilicate glass to be more exact, which is fracture-resistant. It will not cause a trip to the emergency room like a glass bottle or jar which can break and shatter from the tightness of the anus and rectum. Many more females than males seem to be more aware of this. Hence why glass sex toys tend to be more marketed to females, which leads to the only negative I have in this review about this product--- their unnecessary gender-specific marketing.

For this dildo is called a "Curved Glass G-Spot Dildo". Meanwhile, with me being a cisgendered male, I do not have a g-spot. I instead have a prostate, or p-spot. And while the smoothness made the dildo go in easy, the curve of this glass dildo stimulated my prostate just as effectively as it is marketed to stimulated a female's g-spot. So the only male that would try this product is one with enough knowledge of sexual anatomy to think outside of this product's box when it is presented to him. Therefore, like most gender-specific marketing, this company puts themselves in the position to lose patronage they should be willing to gain.

In any case, for all males concerned about a glass dildo, as long as you are dealing with solid glass, like borosilicate, no one of any gender has reason to fear breakage from a glass dildo. The only fear would be if you chip it by dropping it or cracking it by putting it under extreme weight. Otherwise. I think males into anal play should start putting more thought into investing in a glass dildo such as this.

Sex Toy Review: Thruster Mini

I recently bought the Thruster Mini by Velvet CoCK. I must admit that the accordion like neck made me a bit hesitant. This hesitation was to no fault of Velvet CoCK's designing. It was actually because of a previous purchase I made of an anal sex toy with a similar design.

For that other toy also had an accordion design in the neck, which in me caused a pinching of my rectal walls. An unkind sensation that I said in my review that I submitted to The Pleasure Chest would happen to anyone with a rectum tight enough to engulf the entire shape of anything entered into it. With that said, what made me give the Thruster Mini a try was the fact that unlike that other toy, the thrusting part is not meant to be put inside the body.

The Thruster Mini is made of silicone, so it will not harbor bacteria after cleaning, and can only be used with water-based and silicone-based lubricants. Do not use silicone-based lubes on a silicone toy. For it will destroy the toy, thereby void the warranty. It is also water-resistant, which means it can be taken into the shower, but it cannot be submerged into a tub.

The insertable part of the Thruster Mini's shaft is 5" long. A length which is quite comparable to the length of the highly respected Aneros' prostate massagers. Add to that the ability for the shaft to be bent up to 30º, I became hopeful that the Thruster Mini would do that thrusting towards the prostate. And it did not disappoint.

For in the XTube video below, about 3 minutes into it, I assume the missionary position. What you of course can't see is that due to the angle at which I held the Liberator Bon Bon that the Thruster Mini is in, the Thruster Mini did in fact stimulate my prostate. Hence the quivering orgasm seem by the end of the video. So if it was able to be curved to hit my prostate, there is no doubt it can be curved to hit a female's G-spot.

LeNair Xavier Gets Thrusted powered by XTube

With a present retail value of $149, the Thruster Mini is by no means a cheap sex toy. However, I do recommend it for both males and females. Anyway, it does say "Unisex" on the box. Making this one case where a sex toy company did not lie about the usefulness of their product, and that gets many stars in my book.

LeNair Xavier - SEXPERT

Ever since my entering gay porn, my mission has always been to inspire great sex. That's why I never wanted to do a scene with someone I was not attracted to. I never wanted an impressionable person to see me having dead eyes in a scene, and think that they should ever do the same during sex.

It is also why I started blogging. And over time with that blogging came my "Getting Out The Kinks" section. I discovered it to be a means to tell you and every other reader, "I got you. You're have kinks. So do I. Mine are to played out between a consenting adult and myself. Therefore, I feel no shame. So if a consenting, stable-minded adult is your playmate, have no shame in your kinks. Love them! Live them!

Once I left porn, my desire to inspire great sex never waned. That is why I am still blogging, and occasionally making videos for my XTube, Pornhub, and RedTube accounts.

Then I came to work at The Pleasure Chest. I initially saw it as a means to go to the other end of the sex industry spectrum. One with a more reputable and respectful appearance than the porn industry overall.

NOTE: I must say "overall" because I am still a great supporter of feminist porn for reasons stated in one of my articles for Kiiroo.
