Pleasurists adult product review round-up

Review: Jo Clitoral Gel (Light)

          I received a sample of Jo Clitoral gel at a product knowledge class last November, and I am I just now getting around to reviewing it. Why? Because I’ve tried a couple of stimulating gels in the past and had no luck or desire to try more. Also, one of my first experiences with lube in High School left me burning, irritated, and put off of lube altogether until a few years ago when I starting working at a sex shop. To this day I’m not sure if the lube was supposed to be a warming lube, if it was just some glycerin packed irritating lube from hell, or if (oh the horror) maybe it wasn’t even a lube at all but a “warming liquid.” All I know was that it sucked, and I never wanted to feel that burning sensation again. Since I knew ahead of time that Jo Clitoral gel was supposed to have a warming feeling, I wasn’t exactly dying to try it.

          So the Clitoral gel sat in a bag in my closet, until this past weekend when I was cleaning it out and figured I should either try the stuff or get rid of it, and for research’s sake, I decided to try it. As Jake and I began playing around on Saturday I opened the box of clitoral gel in a moment of excitement to find that I couldn’t squeeze any gel out of the tube. I muttered some obscenity while running naked to the next room to grab some scissors, so I could cut the tip of the tube off. I poured out some of the gel onto my fingers and began massaging my clit and labia with it, and although I was rubbing and playing for awhile, I felt nothing other than the slick feel of silicone. We got bored with the gel very quickly and threw it onto the nightstand as we continued to play and move on to other more exciting things (like me squirting for the first time!)

          For the sake of a thorough review, I decided to try the gel one more time on my own yesterday, even after it failed the first time. I was annoyed before I even started because the tube was leaking since I had cut the tip off in haste the other night. Again, I tried rubbing the stuff on my clit, and again I felt nothing other than my skilled hand and some silicone slickness. Aggravated with the whole situation, I quickly wiped off the gel and ended up finishing with my Hitachi because all I really wanted was a cramp-relieving quickie session. Afterwards, I sat down to start reviewing and had come up with a short list of pros and cons for the gel, when I began to feel an irritating, warming but not in a fun way sensation on my labia. The “warming” sensation had kicked it, about 20 minutes too late, and as it turns out, it didn’t feel good at all. It wasn’t the scorching, traumatizing experience I had in high school, but it definitely left me with a “I better get this stuff off before I get a yeast infection” feeling, and I had to stop the review to go take a shower. Here is the pro and con list I had started, but with my edits after the late kick in irritation sensation:

Pros:
Silicone (no glycerin, parabens, l-arginine etc.)
Didn’t burn like some warming products
Can use internally No thanks

Cons:
Annoying bottle
Can’t use with silicone toys
Didn’t feel anything Delayed irritating burning feeling

          As you can see, I didn’t find any pro to this product other than that it’s silicone based, but that was actually partly a con as well because I couldn’t use it with most of my favorite vibes. At first I wondered why I didn’t feel any irritation when I used it with Jake, but then I realized it’s probably because there was a ton of moving/licking/rubbing/other lube/bodily fluids/etc. and it probably didn’t stay on me very long. On the plus side, I’m glad I tried the “Light” gel since there are also, Mild, Wild, and Atomic gels of increasing “sensation” that may have left me as scarred as the mystery lube from hell in high school.

Ingredients:
Cyclopentasiloxane (silicone)
cyclotetrasiloxane (silicone)
Dimethiconol (silicone)
Dimethicone (silicone)
Peppermint (Mentha Piperita)

Pleasurists adult product review round-up

My Feminine Fountain is Finally Flowing (I squirted for the 1st time!)

Last year I bought Deborah Sundah’s book Female Ejaculation and the G-spot and began my quest towards ejaculation and getting my feminine waters flowing. I felt like ejaculation would be a life changing thing, something that I needed to accomplish before I could feel like a truly equal and powerful sexual partner. I read the book cover to cover and became more excited with every chapter, reading about how female ejaculation has been worshipped in many cultures, how it’s good for your health, and how empowering it is to so many women.

According the book, one of the biggest obstacles women have to overcome when learning to squirt is simply accepting that female ejaculation is real (as in ejaculation fluid, not pee) and that it’s not only possible but also beautiful and just as natural as male ejaculation. I set my mind to it, had faith that I could squirt, followed Deborah’s advice, and began exploring my g-spot on my own. I approached it without any goal of an orgasm, following her instructions about massaging my g-spot until it felt full and pushing out like I had to pee. I tried on my own a couple of times, but felt like I wasn’t even close to squirting and ended up giving up. Jake tried to help me out a couple of times as well, but looking back, I was way too focused on the goal of squirting and not allowing myself to just be in the moment. I was putting too much performance pressure on myself, and I always felt frustration and disappointment when I couldn’t do it, even if I had a great g-spot orgasm. After my few attempts alone and with Jake last year, I gave up on my squirting goal and figured I would come back to it when I felt ready. We stopped talking about it, and I stopped trying to do it.

That all changed today.  Jake and I both had the day off, and we began to play, starting with him sucking and biting my nipples while I caressed my clit for awhile. “Let’s just do this for a long time,” he said, and I agreed. Playtime, pleasure, and exploration were the goal for the day, not sex (although we did end up having sex later.) We took our time, first my fingers on my clit and his lips on my breasts, then his lips on my clit, my fingers on my breasts, then my mouth around him as he stroked me; we slowly went through all of the possible combinations. Eventually he began fingering me, slowly at first, but with increasing speed and pressure. I was already extremely turned on and could feel my g-spot swelling and becoming larger by the moment. I concentrated on breathing deeply and succumbing to the warm feeling inside me as his fingers massaged my g-spot and I rubbed my clit between my fingers. After playing for awhile and having a few orgasms, I felt like my g-spot was so full that it was going to burst, so I tried pushing out like I was peeing.

“It seems like you’re ready,” Jake said as he kept fingering me, “you just pushed my hand completely out and I could see it (my g-spot.)” I pushed his fingers out again and pushed like I was going to pee but nothing came out. So he continued, moving his fingers around inside of me, using firm pressure  as he cupped my g-spot, tugged on it, rolled it between his fingers, and pushed on it harder and harder and faster and faster until I had another orgasm that left me screaming and out of breath, and I gasped, “now!” As he pulled out his fingers I pushed my g-spot out and kept pushing like I was peeing, until I felt a warm liquid erupt from inside me, squirting up into the air and down onto my thighs and the sheets beneath. After a few seconds of squirting, Jake thrust his fingers inside me again, but I still felt full and said, “wait, there’s more,” and kept pushing and pushing and squirting and squirting out more warm ejaculate. I felt it gush out of me like a stream flowing wildly, pushing away everything in its path until it was done—leaving the sheets under me completely soaked, Jake with a huge grin on his face, and me ecstatic and giggling, feeling high on the experience.

I did it, I finally reached one of my biggest sexual goals; I ejaculated. I let go of the fear of peeing and just let myself gush all over the fucking place, and it felt so good I literally jumped up and down afterwards. I think it finally happened because I was so relaxed and so turned on and not even thinking about it until the moment was right, and I was ready. I already had the knowledge I needed from Deborah’s book; I knew I needed to push like I was going to pee, and I did it at the right time. I don’t think I would have been able to squirt without first reading her book because I didn’t know what to do, but I wasn’t able to let go and just do it until I had forgotten about the book and my squirting goal.

Afterwards I felt more than giddy and breathless like I normally feel after an orgasm; I felt more alive and full of emotions. I felt empowered, excited and extremely confident. I felt even more connected with Jake. I felt like I wanted to run around yelling and telling everyone I know.  I felt strong, peaceful, and in tune with myself. I felt like a river with natural and untamed vigor; my feminine fountain was finally flowing.

Shiny Heels and Back Seam Stockings

Jake took these photos of my legs on the Betty Page table he made for me for Christmas a few years ago. Before we could even review the photos, he was carrying me to the bedroom, which was faster than me walking in the fetish style 6 inch heels ;)

Review: DONA by Jo Body Wash and Body Mist Lotion

          DONA is a fairly new line of bath products made by the lubricant company System Jo. The DONA products come in various aphrodisiac infused scents, and I received the goji berry Body Wash and camu camu Body Mist lotion among other DONA products to try. I have already reviewed the DONA Blue Lotus Bath Salts.

          The goji berry Body Wash comes in a purple pump bottle and has a fresh fruity goji berryfragrance. It produces a good lather and leaves my skin feeling clean, although not very moisturized. Before using the DONA Body Wash I was using Aveeno, which definitely moisturized my skin more. I’ve still used the DONA Body Wash because it works well enough and smells nice, and honestly I’m not that picky when it comes to bath products.

Ingredients:

Purified Water (Aqua), Sodium C 14-16 Olefin Sulfonate, Sodium Cocoamphoacetate, Cocamidopropyl Hydroxysultaine, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Glycerin, Saccharide Isomerate, Sodium Chloride, Lycium Barbarum (Goji) berry, Coffea Arabica (Coffee) Seed, Euterpe Oleracea (Açaí) Fruit, Morinda Citrifolia (Noni) Fruit, Punica Granatum (Pomegranate) Fruit, Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf, Garcinia Mangostana (Mangosteen) Pericarp Extracts, Propanediol, Citric Acid, Benzyl Alcohol, Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Methylisothiazone, Disodium EDTA, Fragrance

           The camu camu Body Mist lotion comes in a yellow spray bottle and has a sweet, earthy scent that reminds me of vanilla. I like that the mist rubs easily into my skin and doesn’t leave me feeling super greasy. The light moisturizing spray is a great product for spring and summer (especially in Texas’ extreme heat and humidity) because it doesn’t feel like you’re wearing a typical lotion which often makes me feel slimy when I start sweating. I don’t think I’d use it much in the winter though because I like using thick lotions that are more moisturizing and lasting like cocoa butter when my skin is extremely dry.

Ingredients:

Purified Water, Caprylic Capric Glycerides, Polyglycerol-6 Dioleate, Glyceryl Caprylate Caprate, Propanediol, Saccharide Isomerate, Passion Fruit (Passiflora Edulis) Seed Oil, Rice Bran (Oriza Sativa) Oil, Açaí (Euterpe Oleracea) pulp Oil, Babassu (Orbignya Oleifera) Seed Oil, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Myrciaria Dubia (Camu Camu) Fruit, Fragrance

           Overall I liked the DONA by Jo Body Mist Lotion more than the Body Wash, and would be more inclined to buy it in the future.  Although I researched the ingredients for the DONA by Jo Blue Lotus Bath Salts review, I decided not to spend the time going through all of the ingredients on these 2 products since I don’t use them internally, and I don’t typically research all of the ingredients in external use bath products. Still, it would have been nice if DONA provided short ingredient explanations for the non-familiars (I have no idea what Cocmidopropyl Hydroxysultaine is for example), especially since DONA products are marketed as natural and cruelty free.
