Pleasurists adult product review round-up

And She’ll Have Fun, Fun, Fun!

I adore Fun Factory toys. They’re some of my favorites, from Chester Cheeky to Benjamin Bond, from Smart Balls to Flexi Felix. The colors and the designs are fantastic, and the toys are just plain fun to use. Somehow, I hadn’t tried their clitoral stimulator yet, so I was excited to receive the Laya Spot from Babeland to review.

The Laya Spot, which is made in Germany, comes in the standard tan and red Fun Factory box, and is visible through the front window. The box contains the vibrator, a sample of BodyFluid Lovegel (silicone-based), and an instruction flyer in multiple languages.

This vibrator comes in several color combinations. The one I received is cream and pink, and it reminds me a lot of fresh-spun cotton candy and vanilla ice cream – almost good enough looking to eat. I almost expected it to smell like that too, but it’s completely odorless. The cream spots are hard, while the pink is softer and smooth with some drag to the surface.

The Laya Spot is easy and comfortable to hold, with its curves and ergonomic shape. It’s about 5 1/2″ long measured on the upper curve (4” on the bottom one) and is 4 3/4″ around its widest point. It does have a seam that runs around the sides, but it isn’t very noticeable and I didn’t feel it during use.

This is made of Elastomed, which is hypoallergenic, phthalates free, skin friendly, and nonporous. It should be cleaned both before and after use with mild soap and warm water and dried. The Laya Spot is splashproof, but not waterproof, so care should be taken while cleaning not to get water in the battery compartment. It should never be taken into the shower or bath. Both silicone and water-based lubricants are safe to use.

The battery compartment is accessed by twisting the cream colored base to the left. “Open” and “Close” are listed right above the base on the body to show you which way to turn the cap. The Laya Spot uses 2 AAA batteries, and their direction is clearly labeled. The pamphlet recommends using rechargeable batteries if possible.

Operation of the Laya Spot is done with two buttons on its top side. The + button is the larger of the two. Pressing this button for about 2 seconds turns the Layaspot on to a steady, low vibration. Pressing repeatedly will increase the intensity of the vibrations – it takes about 8 to reach the maximum vibration level.

Once on the maximum, pressing the + will cycle through 3 patterns: low to high vibration (repeats), faster low to high vibration (repeats) and a fast pulsing. The vibrations are felt mostly in the tip and hardly at all towards the base, so you won’t find your hand getting numb during use. The vibrations are quite intense on the high setting. The Laya Spot is fairly quiet, so with any kind of background noise on, no one will know you’re using it.

When the Laya Spot is on one of the patterns, pressing the – button will return it to the highest steady vibration setting. Pressing the – repeatedly will decrease the vibrations until the last press turns it off.

With its easy to hold shape and tip vibrations, the Laya Spot can be used for body massage as well as clitoral stimulation. This is meant for external use only – never insert it anally or vaginally.

So, Does it Work? I really like this one! The vibrations are strong and I can get the tip positioned just right to really get me incredibly turned on. Alone, or in combination with a few other toys, the Laya Spot is a good one to masturbate to orgasm with. It also worked well during foreplay.

The only real problem I had was with the base. I kept turning it by mistake while I was moving it about on my clit, which would cut the connection and turn it off. Once I held it a bit higher up, this wasn’t as much of a problem.

The Laya Spot is another great Fun Factory toy, and one I’m glad to have in my collection. I hope that they come out with a rechargeable version of this at some point!

Thank you to Babeland for sending this to me for free to review! If you’d like to try the Laya Spot on your spot, you can get yours at Babeland.com .

  • Fun Factory Bootie by Hamilton Hexx
  • Shake, shake, shake….shake your Bootie!It’s not very often that I can look at a toy and go “Awwwwww”, but the Bootie from Fun Factory has a serious cute factor to it. Maybe it’s just the name of the toy, Bootie, that makes me smile. Maybe if it was named the Destroyer or Annihilator it would lose its cute factor

    Note: Now due to this review I have “Shake Your Booty” stuck in my head. That’s not enough for you? Well, it’s also well-written and features an image of Fun Factory’s strangest side-of-the-box warning. Check it out.

Not Quite Whipped Into A Frenzy

While I love long sexual encounters and lovemaking sessions, I also enjoy unplanned, spontaneous sex. Sex that isn’t planned, is spur of the moment, and quick. Sex on the stairs, a quickie in a bathroom, even fucking on an elevator or in the back seat of a car. Frenzy, one of July’s Sexis Naked Reader Book Club selections, is a collection of short stories where the frenzy refers to both the act and the stories themselves.

Frenzy is an oversized (8” x 5 1/2″) paperback published in 2008 by Cleis Press with easy to read type. It’s edited by Alison Tyler, who has authored more than 25 erotic novels, had her stories published in more than 80 anthologies, and has herself edited more than 45 erotic collections. I’ve come to really enjoy her stories and was delighted to find some in this collection.

In her introduction, Alison tells us that there’s nothing like a quickie, and she is referring to both the sexual act and the length of the stories. She packs 60 stories into 209 pages, some as short as 75 words, others as long as 1500. Most of the stories feature heterosexual couples, although there are a few that do not.

Brevity may be the soul of wit, but it isn’t always the heart of arousal. Most of the shorter stories here, and some of the longer ones, are just are just too short and undeveloped to be properly titillating. They are mostly well written, but don’t stimulate and in many cases are bland. One story, “Waves” by Alisha Steele, is even quite sad.

Plenty of gems grace this collection, however, including but not limited to:

“Paper Clips” by A. D. R. Forte   A woman arrives at his room, and a man shows her the pleasure of bondage with some creative pain from the paper clips in his briefcase.

“Pirate Treasure” by Janine Ashbless An actor and an actress on the set of a pirate movie have a bawdy and climaxing close encounter as extras in a bar during the filming of their scene.

“Coming to Conclusions” by Andrea Miller Rory doesn’t participate in acts of debauchery at monthly parties but she has a secret that Nick intends to reveal.

“Lake Logan” by Cheyenne Blue A couple gets stuck in their car in rising water off the side of a road during a storm. They can’t resist their urges and providing a show to passing motorists.

“Bastard” by Alison Tyler His belt buckle says Bastard, and a waitress hears the tale of how he came to get it from her coworker.

“Appetite” by Shanna Germain The most food centric story in the collection. A woman breaks her carb addiction but isn’t cured, and thinks of sex every time she is enticed by them. Bread and donuts become cocks, balls, and breasts as she struggles with her appetite.

“Take Note, Please” by Linda K. Sienkiewicz Anna awakens bound at the Men’s Sexology Institute, where Professor Mooney teaches a hands-on class on female genitalia stimulation on her vulnerable and unwilling(?) body.

Frenzy is easy to pick up and read a story or two at a time. You may find that reading several in a row increases your frenzy to get some of your own.

If you’d like to join in the Sexis Naked Reader Book Club in July, Frenzy would be a good choice. Read it now and join in the book discussion on the EdenFantasys forums later in the month. You can get your copy from EdenFantasys by clicking the widget below.
