For controlling the Elektra Luxe, there are 3 buttons on the handle. The middle power button to turn the toy on or off by holding down and releasing the button, the top wavy button with a number 1 on it (for e-stim function), and the bottom wavy button with a number 2 on it (for vibrations function). The e-stim and vibration buttons are also turned on by holding then releasing the button, then cycle through the modes by pressing the button. The functions can also be turned on or off independently by holding then releasing the button again, but I found this tricky to do as it would often just register as a button press and cycle to the next mode - so I mostly used the power button to turn the functions off. The buttons light up for whichever is turned on. The e-stim button lights up red, and the power button and vibration button light up blue. The e-stim and vibration can be used at the same time or separately!
It was a little difficult to know which button I was pressing whenever using on myself, as the buttons don't have a super obvious texture like significantly raised or recessed buttons. However, this isn't an issue in instances if someone else were using the toy on you! (especially if you are getting into a little BDSM play handing over the control).
Being more comfortable with the e-stim now, I was ready to try out some of the higher settings. I still started with a bit of only vibrations as warmup. Now, with just anal play, my penis usually stays soft or a semi/partial-erection. This was the case with only the vibrations, but once I switched over to the e-stim going from level 2 to level 3, I was rock hard after a couple of seconds! Almost like the increase in e-stim intensity literally turned my penis on, like electrically. Maybe something related to e-stim stimulating the muscles all around that area with electrical impulses?
Anyway, level 3 was intense but still all pleasurable, I moved the intensity up to see how much I could handle! It was now blurring the line between pleasure and overstimulation/pain but I was still enjoying it. At the higher intensity, the e-stim definitely felt more like an internal 'pulling' sensation to me. I switched the vibrations on, and while the e-stim was again obscured at the beginning of each wave of electrical pulsing, when the electrical pulses rose up to their peak I clearly felt that internal pulling stimulation coming through, then it would go back to the start of the e-stim rise. This mind-blowing combination of vibrations and e-stim rising through from the background to almost too much intensity, I finished explosively shortly after!
The e-stim felt more concentrated on the perineum than the P-spot, and afterwards my perineum area felt a bit sore but went away after a little bit - I probably need to work up more to the higher e-stim intensities! I would have preferred more focus on the P-spot, but if you really like perineum stimulation the e-stim aspect of the Elektra Luxe would be perfect.
I love that this toy was advertised for prostate/P-spot and perineum use, as oftentimes that is overlooked with rabbit style vibrators being advertised primarily for G-spot and clit use. But, like most rabbit vibrators, the Elektra Luxe could work on P-spot plus perineum OR G-spot plus clit stimulation! Perfect multi-use so my wife and I would both be able enjoy it.
