I'll start by saying that we are by no means experts with e-play toys. We have experimented in the past, but nothing more than with cheap toys (don't recommend), and honestly, we experienced more "shocking" results than we liked. As such, this type of toy has never gained a permanent spot in the nightstand. However, we like to try new things, and when I saw this on the EF website, I began thinking of a plan...

In preparation, I ordered a few other items as well, including an e-play cock ring set, a flogger, a blindfold and some basic restraints.

A week or so later, everything arrived... let the fun begin!

I had the whole plan laid out, unbeknownst to the hubby, and when the right evening happened, I put it in play! I slipped into a nightie that had a BDSM feel, gave him a look, and told him to go to bed and lie down. I first slipped the blindfold on him so he wouldn't see what was coming, then pulled his boxers down. At this point, I'm sure he was thinking he was getting a blowjob or handjob at most, but I could tell he was a little tense with the unknown... but aroused. When I strapped his arms to his side using the thigh cuffs, I could see he was surprised but still intrigued.

I started with the flogger. Nothing too heavy, just some light strokes than a few harder across his cock and balls. His body tensed more, but I could tell he was enjoying it. I then slipped two of the rings onto his erect penis. Later he told me he thought I was just using any of the other cock rings we have, and he was imagining I was about to climb on top of him, but that wasn't my plan.

I had already put batteries (2 AAA) into the controller and played with the controls a little, so I wouldn't fumble with it too much. I turned the controller to the TAP setting and slowly turned up the intensity. You can hear the device clicking on faintly, and when it did, I saw his face tighten up a bit with surprise. I then moved to the VIBRATING and, finally, the MASSAGE SETTING. From his reactions (tightening his arms against the restraints and visible tensing of his body), he enjoyed these settings the most, and I was able to turn the intensity up slowly. Combining this with a few nipple squeezes, I had his body moving!

After enjoying watching him squirm for a while, I turned the device off, slipped the rings off, and quickly finished him off with a hand job. He later told me he probably would not have cum from just the e-play, but it was obvious that it got him very, very close!

Our first experience was amazing; probably not something we will incorporate daily or even weekly, but it's still in the nightstand! I think setting the mood was definitely a big part of this, and would recommend that to anyone wanting to try this out, especially if you have an adventurous relationship. However, we did learn a few things with further use.

First, skin contact is essential. Using a bit of water-based lube seemed to help, but the rings do have to be tight.

Second, the cock rings that I ordered were quite large. Typically we have to work to get any rings on him when erect, so these are made particularly large. However, they do slip off the actual electrodes easily (although never when they are on him). We found that by releasing one end of the larger of the two rings, we could wrap the larger one all the way around his balls and the base of his shaft, then reattach it. The next size, we likewise wrapped just around the top of his balls. The other two rings can be released and trimmed to fit for a firm connection. Just use a sharp pair of scissors, and take off a little at a time until you get the size perfect. Going forward, we may want to try a different set... such as this or this. However, with a little attention, the ones we have were great and provided the option of testicle tingling too!

Third, the controller itself is only powered by two AAA batteries. This is great for portability and to keep the cost down, but it did seem to lose some of the intensity even by the end of our one session. Might want to have some more batteries handy for a longer playtime.

A few more thoughts. This device is designed to tingle, not cause pain. In our case, that was perfect. It was reliable, without any sharp jolts or surprising shocks. However, if you're looking for something more intense, this may not be stronger for you. Also, this is obviously not for water play...don't take it into the shower or bath!

The intensity of this device is mild to moderate but will likely depend on the toy used with it. For example, the cock rings were great for their purpose, but we also used some e-stim pads we had from a prior purchase. These produced more of a muscle twitch than a tingle... I wonder what it would do on my nipples!

Although this did not take my hubby over the edge, the entire experience brought him so close that it took barely any time to do so. I would consider this more of a foreplay or sensory play toy. He obviously enjoyed it immensely, and watching him squirm drove me wild as well!
