I really wanted to love the Flex-a-Pleasure by Doc Johnson. It's pretty, it's different, it's flexible. It has two vibrating eggs -- TWO! -- for vaginal and clitoral stimulation at the same time. It's waterproof. So far so good. Maybe, I thought, it could be a good G-spot toy. And the price was right. So I snapped it up, took it home and gleefully set about trying it out with my husband.

For vaginal insertion, the hard plastic egg might look intimidating at first. When I was wet, however, it slid in fairly easily. (Getting it out after I came was another story.)

The twist dial on the smaller egg shape is easy to use to turn on the Flex-a-Pleasure and adjust the vibration intensity. We ended up cranking it up all the way and setting about some G-spot play. It definitely hit my G-spot, but just when I was starting to get into it, the flexible plastic shaft would invariably bend just enough that the pressure would let up and I'd be back to G-square one.

So it wasn't ideal as a G-spot toy. We could live with that. I kept it in my vagina while my husband gave me a clitoral orgasm. The Flex-a-Pleasure's seven-inch shaft made it easy to just soak up the good vibes and relax without having to do much reaching or stretching.

Once I came, I gave the Flex-a-Pleasure a tug. Nothing happened. It wasn't coming OUT of my vagina. I had to relax and pull gently and steadily to separate the Flex-a-Pleasure from my pussy. Thankfully, the 1 1/2-inch diameter egg is completely encased in the same jelly sleeve that is molded over the shaft, so there didn't seem to be a chance of an embarrassing emergency room visit for an egg extraction. On the other hand, I'm not a big fan of jelly-covered toys.

We decided to try out the Flex-a-Pleasure on my clit. Unfortunately, the vibration wasn't quite strong enough and the surface of the egg was just big enough to diffuse what vibration there was. I couldn't orgasm very quickly or easily with the pretty pink Flex-a-Pleasure.

The Flex-a-Pleasure wasn't a complete disappointment. We found a use for it we both really enjoyed: While my husband fucked me in the ass, I used my favorite vibe (LAYAspot) on my clit and, thanks to the long reach and flexible shaft of the Flex-a-Pleasure, fucked myself vaginally. Um, YUM. We could have achieved the same result -- mind-blowing orgasm -- with any dildo or insertable vibrator, but since I was using both my hands, the Flex-a-Pleasure's design definitely made this use much easier.
