Someone called me a toy snob the other day, which I suppose is fair. There are a number of toys on the market that I turn my nose up to without even trying. I laugh, I toss out “Oh I can tell that would suck,” and then I laugh some more at the expense of some poor, judged-by-its-cover toy. Case in point, Doc Johnson Mens Pleasure Wand. This toy sells well at several locations although never by my encouragement. I’ve always scoffed at its design as ineffective and cheap without ever giving it a try. Well Pleasure Wand, you’re getting your own review so here is your moment to shine. Let’s see what you got!
If you have ever braved a sex toy shop before you have most likely come across this toy. It’s relatively non-threatening in appearance but still looks fun to the untrained brown eye. It hails several claims:
Multi-speed!
Waterproof!
Massages the scrotum and the balls AND the prostate!
Sounds like the perfect lover!
Well if it did all that it would be. The Mens Pleasure Wand is made out of a cheap jelly-rubber type material. Jelly rubbers are always porous, which means they essentially act like sponges. Not the ideal material to be putting into your butt due to the fact that it has a high chance to catch and store bacteria. Yuck! So for this toy I will be using a condom (which also makes it a lot easier to clean after the fact).
Inserting the toy is easy enough. The tip is slender and with a minimal amount of lube it goes in. The angle makes the last bit of entry a little more difficult, and this is one of my main problems with the toy. It doesn’t stay in hands free. In fact, the second you let go of it the toy begins to slide out. This means you are going to have to hold it in place, or thrust it in-and-out if you prefer, in order to reap the alleged benefits of the toy. But whatever, I am trying to make it work.
“Multi-speed”. Ok that is true — the remote has four separate speeds that controls the strength of the vibration. The first two speeds are laughable. In fact, the highest speed was the only one worth really playing with for me. But some people don’t like strong vibes so maybe the lesser vibrations would be good for them.
The angle of the toy puts pressure directly on the prostate in a manner that is similar to a Rude Boy. However, unlike the Rude-Boy, you aren’t able to really rock on this toy because the wire for the bullet is sticking out of the base. Attempting to do so would possibly pull the wire out of it, ruining the bullet and possibly sparking your booty.
Did it feel bad? No. It does vibrate right on the prostate, however the taint and ball stimulation is a big stretch. In fact it didn’t interact with my balls at all.
This toy is cheap which is what I think draws people to it. Only $25 versus some of the higher end toys that are twice as much if not more. When you are just starting out with prostate play I can understand not wanting to drop a lot of money on something that you might not even like…but with the amount of effort that you have to put into using this toy for the minimal results it yields, I’d say just save your money till you can buy something more fun. Sorry Pleasure Wand…to the bottom of the drawer with you!
