The truth is oral sex doesn't do much for me - receiving it, that is. I enjoy it, but it doesn't usually bring me to orgasm. That's why I ordered the Tongue Tickler. Since it has such a realistic appearance I wanted to see if I could use it to essentially "train" myself to like oral sex more.

My first reaction when I opened the box was to laugh. It IS pretty funny looking. It's made of silicone and is very soft and pliable. In fact it was quite a bit more bendable than I was expecting. There is a hole in the back of the toy in which you insert the provided bullet. The vibrations, which can be felt through the entire toy, are not very strong, but if I place the nose part of the toy (which is the strongest area of vibration) directly against my clit it does the job. The toy was smaller than I was expecting - only a little over 3 inches long - which means that it actually isn't realistic as I was expecting either. People's faces aren't that small. (Then again I don't know anyone whose tongue vibrates either.)

But of course you can use the Tongue Tickler without the bullet to mimic an actual tongue. It's very smooth and totally seamless. With some lube it actually does feel... sort of like a tongue. Sliding it up and down my pussy lips and over my clit and anus feels nice but it gets boring quickly (kind of the way actual oral sex does for me.) It's never long before I turn on the bullet.

The description on the box claims that "the powerful pulsations tickle and tease you deep inside." No, not really. Although the tip of the tongue can be inserted into the vagina it definitely doesn't reach deep and it isn't powerful. It won't hit most women's g-spots. The toy is definitely more suited to clitoral stimulation. The only way I orgasm with it is to put nose against my clit and lay the tongue portion against my pussy lips. The tip of the tongue almost reaches my anus this way and it creates a pleasurable sensation in all the right spots.

So did I train myself to love oral sex with the Tongue Tickler? Not yet, but I haven't given up. If you have a good imagination like I do, the toy really does feel a bit like a tongue; until you turn on the bullet of course.

In conclusion - yes, it's a funny looking toy (and bright pink - way brighter than it appears in the photograph) but I do enjoy playing with it and it does get me off. It's never going to make the list of my favorite toys, but when I'm in the mood for an oral fantasy it's what I'll reach for. It's also pretty quiet and waterproof which is an added bonus. But if you are a hard core toy lover I wouldn't purchase this unless you were planning to use it for foreplay or giving it as a gag gift.

The Tickler should be used with a water based lubricant and cleaned with soap and water. It comes with a battery, and a sample of lube and toy cleaner. I recommend storing it in the box or a plastic bag because pet fur and lint is very attracted to it.
