When I first bought this product I had never used an arousal gel before. Now, I may not be the best person to make this review because I don't really have a problem with arousal; I just wanted to experiment with this kind of product to see if it could enhance my sexual experience. I opted for the Arousal Gel because I'm a big fan of California Exotic products, and it was dirt cheap. The quality and longevity California Exotic products isn't what I would call top notch, but you can't beat their prices, and they don't fall short in the "Oh my God, I'm gonna come, I'm gonna come...!!!" department.

Now, I don't need an exorbitant price tag or luxury packaging for a product to pique my interest, but I do prefer items that don't remind me of cheap ass hair gel samples from the early 90s'. To my horror, when I opened the bottle it had the color and consistency of slime. So far I am not aroused. And the smell... Ugh. It smells sickly sweet and minty. I'm actually getting closed to turned off at this point. For some reason I'm reminded of a skanky 9th grade boy with crunchy spiked hair. You know the kind. The one chewing on a Mentos to cover the fact that he hasn't brushed his teeth in 3 days, but desperately wants to stick his tongue down your throat anyway.

First I tried rubbing a little of the sticky solution around my pussy lips with my fingers. I felt only a slight tingle so I deemed it safe to try on my labia & a little around my clit. The barely noticeable tingle only lasted about 2 minutes, and the gel left me feeling sticky and dry. My boyfriend then tried rubbing it on the outside of my vagina with his penis. Again, it only felt slightly tingly for about 2 minutes, but quickly dried out and began to chafe both my cooch & his cock. We tried adding lube to the gel to keep it moist longer, but it dulled the tingle sensation so much it wasn't worth using. We tried going down on each other with the gel but neither of us could stand the sharp minty/metallic taste. He also claimed it was very irritating when a little got into the tip of his penis. I'm so done with this pond scum, and in the trash it went.
