Sex Toy Review: We-Vibe Verge

Before I start, my apologies to We-Vibe. For this review of their Verge cockring is long overdue in response to their gratitude for my Nude Dude Review of the We-Vibe Nova.

The Verge cockring by We-Vibe is a vibrating cockring primarily meant to stimulate a male-bodied person’s perineum (a.k.a. taint) during sex.

To accommodate most bodies for this purpose, the Verge is quite wide, and not as stretchy as its brother cockring from We-Vibe, the Pivot. However, if the person is thick enough, then the Verge may also help with the purpose most cockrings are made for. That purpose being to make the blood flowing into the penis to cause an erection not leave so easily.

The beauty of this cockring is that while it’s marketed primarily to stimulate the perineum, it can be turned and placed in different ways to make it stimulate more than just the taint. It can also stimulate other parts in that area instead of the taint on the wearer, and/or stimulate parts of the sex partner of the wearer.

  

Let’s look at different ways one can wear a Verge. All of which I have tried with a playmate and can guarantee the pleasure given.

This is the marketed way to wear the We-Vibe Verge:

Worn this way, it stimulates the base of the cock, and since it is so wide, it will rock back and forth during penetration or while the wearer is being ridden by their partner. With each pressure against it from either causing the vibration to hit more against the taint. During deeper penetrations, the wearer's partner may feel the vibration along the upper-half of their vaginal lips or anus, depending on which part and gender is embracing the wearer's member.

Wearing the We-Vibe Verge this way makes it great for both vaginal and anal sex:

For vaginal sex, the wearer will of course feel their chosen vibration around the penis and testicles. Meanwhile, the part shown in the above pic that in the marketed position stimulates the taint would in this case stimulate the clitoris.

Wearing the Verge this way for anal sex will give that same vibration to the crotch while vibrating near the bottom's anus like all of these positions. The addition to using the Verge in this way is that in sexual positions like (or similar to) doggy-style it can stimulate the bottom's ass crack, while in positions like missionary it can stimulate the bottom's taint instead of that of the wearer's.

This last position, like the initial one mentioned, is very much for the wearer's pleasure.

For wearing the Verge this way cups and tickles the wearer's testicles from behind during penetration, or while he's being ridden by his partner.


The We-Vibe Verge is USB rechargeable. It is made of silicone, so it is non-porous, and can be easily cleaned with soap and water or an anti-bacterial cleaner. With that it is also waterproof, so any of the ways to wear it mentioned or that you can think of can also be done in the tub or shower. The Verge also comes with 10 vibration patterns. The intensity of each pattern can be easily controlled by downloading the We-Connect app and syncing the Verge to it. Another plus to using the We-Connect app is that with it, you can create your own vibration pattern.

Like with my playmates, I live by the old saying "variety is the spice of life". With that said, for its variety in vibration patterns, ways in can be worn, and targets of stimulation, if you're not really looking for the traditional purpose for a cockring, then I definitely give a high rating to the We-Vibe Verge.

My Apologies For My Rare No-Show

I am writing this post to publicly apologize to Daniel Naridicio and anyone else who was ready to support me as a contestant in The 4th Annual My. Nude York Contest, all to later realize that I was not coming. My failure to show is so highly unlike me that I felt it warranted an explanation. But first let me explain why I threw my name in the hat in the first place.

My entering The Mr. Nude York Contest has always been more about making the fact known that there is beauty in Black males. A fact that is proven ignored by how we are repeatedly overlooked as signs of beauty in gay media. Hence the 2nd stanza of my recent poem, "Beauty To 44 & 5 Despites":

That is, despite how you treat me
Like since I turned 30, I've been dead
And since this beauty is in chocolate
Your insecurities and envy make you choose vanilla and caramel instead

Well, being the stubborn Aries that I am, I refuse to let that stop me. For I spent the first 30 years of my life allowing people's words and actions tell me that I wasn't good enough for one reason or another. So I've decided those days are over.

And some of you are thinking "It's just a contest, get over it!", but please read between the lines and realize the fact that it's a contest judged by a large audience. An audience of, let's be honest, mostly White males in the multi-colored mecca of NYC who too often say that what is "beautiful" is only someone who is or close to their own color. Therefore, a person of medium complexion and beyond doesn't fit being called "beautiful" in their eyes. And I'm sure many darker complexioned males in the audience feel the same, and feel they have the beauty to be a contender. But because they feel (as I do) that the majority of the room won't recognize it, they think to themselves, "Why bother?"

I don't know the list of contestants. Maybe this finally changed this year. But my feeling based on past contests is that if we stay in the audience as cheering patrons, but never take front and center as a contestant, no one will ever respect our beauty as an equally long & wide panel on the skin color rainbow.

So what happened to make me stray from my using my body for activism and broadening NYC gay males view of beauty?...

I went to a nude cocktail party earlier that night. My plan was to go to the cocktail party, stay for a couple of hours, then leave it at about 11 pm in time to be in the contest at midnight. As 11 pm came around, I was having so much fun, I had a decision to make. Do I:
a) stop the fun I'm having, so I can go on a mission that I've done 3 times prior to broaden people's mind, which in turn might undo the good mood I was in, or;
b) allow myself to keep calm, and continue reveling in the fun I was having.

So mature wisdom at 44 made me choose (b). Because in a way, this situation was like the old saying, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it". And my fun at that cocktail party was not broken, so why fix my fun going somewhere else. Why go elsewhere when where I was at that moment was all peaches and cream....Lots of "peaches" (pun intended). ;-)

For we all know that held in the light at just the right angle, a peach looks like a fuzzy butt....Hence why we bite into that part first.

With that said, I hope you accept my apologies and understand my decision.
