When my wife approached her eight month of pregnancy, we both realized it wasn’t very considerate of her horny husband to be pawing at her all the time. But after five years of marriage (and regular sex) I didn’t relish the idea of satisfying my needs with my well practiced left hand – so I looked for an alternative.

When it came to the concept of a male masturbator|Male masturbation toys, I had three criteria it had to fulfill. It had to be cheap, since there didn’t seem to be much point paying a huge amount of money for a service that my left hand was willing to do for free! It had to feel good, or at least, better than that hard-working left hand. Most importantly, it had to be discrete. I had a nightmare scenario of my mother-in-law popping over and discovering something big, pink and fleshy in the bathroom cabinet!

Tera Patrick’s Blow Job masturbator|Tera patrick's™ blow job seemed to meet all three of my criteria, so I bought one and gave it a go! At just over twenty dollars, it was hardly overpriced.

As far as discretion goes, the Blow Job masturbator is ideal. It’s about the size and shape of a fancy shampoo bottle and the label can be peeled off, leaving a totally innocent looking white plastic bottle.

Opening the cap, the Blow Job masturbator contains a bottle of lube jabbed inside. The lube is great stuff – slick and slimy. I used about a quarter of the bottle in my first attempt, but you can use any type of lube you want when the bottle’s run out.

The sleeve itself is snug and there’s a satisfying ‘pop’ as you slide yourself in for the first time. The sensation is really nice - and there’s a hole at the end of the plastic bottle as well. If you stick your finger over than when you’re fully inside, there’s a delightful ‘sucking’ sensation when you pull out, which makes the Blow Job masturbator really live up to it’s name! I had a very satisfying and intense experience.

On the downside, the soft rubber sleeve only starts about half an inch inside the rubber bottle. That meant, when I thrust all the way inside, I tended to have the sharp plastic lip of the bottle jabbed against my skin. The length of the sleeve was slightly shorter than my erection, which was frustrating. It was also next to impossible to clean out afterwards – but at the price, I suppose it’s not something you keep around for ever.

Well, after extended field testing... I have to admit, I'm ultimately disappointed in this toy.

One thing I experienced - even after washing it out thoroughly - was that the lube included with it started to smell strongly fishy... So much so that my wife walked into the bathroom and said: "Good God, what's that STENCH."

Then on the third usage, the seal connected the rubber sleeve to the plastic bottle broke, meaning instead of plunging deeper inside the sleeve, my erection just pushed the whole kit and kaboodle further into the plastic bottle.

Finally, after a few attempts to wash it, the whole thing fell apart.

That being said, for just over $20, you can't really complain. If you want a lasting masturbation toy|Masturbation sleeves, however, I'd recommend something a little sturdier - and STEER CLEAR OF THE LUBE.
