This gadget looks so cool I want to display it in my apartment as a conversation piece, like a wall-hanging or a coffee table book. The unique 5x G-spot Hot Handle by Adam & Eve is a bold, oddly shaped, dual-action vibrator which certainly looks too hot to handle from its online picture.

The apparatus is designed to hit both the G-spot and clit without looking a thing like a cock. In 3-D, I was a bit relieved to see the toy is slightly smaller than I had imagined.

It is more flesh-like than any other material I have yet encountered in a sex toy, yet not in a creepy way. After stroking it for a few moments, I became somewhat addicted to the texture of its soft and silky cyber-silicone material and its magnetic shape.

The hot handle is equipped with a small pink remote, sporting 5 settings with a slide bar on the side to adjust the intensity of vibration.

1. Foreplay: Short, pleasurable, and patterned bursts of vibration. Slightly unpredictable and therefore exciting. Like a song with different 'beats'.

2. Tease: The same bit but the bursts are a bit longer in duration.

3. Pulsation: Like a rapid heartbeat, a long vibration broken up in equal time.

4. Vibration: One long vibration.

5. Climax: The same as setting #4.

In the noise department, this thing gets an A; with or without my television on, it is not too loud for my roommates to hear through the thin walls. Not having to worry about accidental eavesdroppers makes playtime a much more pleasurable experience.

Despite its strange shape, it is super-easy to slip a condom over for those times when you are too lazy to give it a thorough cleaning. Also nice if you don't like to mess with non-silicone toys "bareback".

Unfortunately, even on its highest setting the G-spot Hot Handle is not quite powerful enough for me. It delivers a lot more power than I'd expected from two AA batteries, but for all of its aesthetic appeal it just doesn't pack enough power. To achieve a true "dual-action" experience, I would additionally massage my clit with my fingers or with my trusty old-fashioned clitoral vibrator.

However, all-in-all the Hot Handle's character and strangeness make for a nice change of pace. I would recommend this toy to someone who is bored with commonplace toys, and doesn't need an extraordinary amount of power to get off.
