I must admit I was a bit intimidated when I first opened the box from EdenFantasys and had a look at the Jel-Lee scorpio couples collection, Strap-on vibrator by Topco. It looked a little mean and insect-like. Being an intrepid sexual explorer, I freed it from its package and had a closer look.

The Scorpio functions like a butterfly vibrator|Butterfly Vibrators: My first butterfly vibrator with a twist. The twist is in its tail; it has a thin flexible stinger-tail that can be inserted into your ass. The package also includes a vibrating cock ring, a sex toy I have been aching to try.

I found a willing accomplice in (we’ll call him) PSB. The cock ring is of the gel variety so I suggested he lube up; after he did, it slid on easily and painlessly. I turned on the mini vibrating egg and watched the expression on PSB’s face change from one of curiosity to one of intrigue.

“How does it feel,” I asked.

“It feels great. My whole cock is tingling,” he replied.

“Fabulous, now fuck me so I can see what it’s going to do for me.”

After the initial pleasure of PSB’s cock filling me, I noticed how incredible the vibrations felt. I never orgasm from intercourse, and this time was no exception, but I really got close. And then the batteries died. I’m pretty sure this is less an indication of short battery life than the duration of our play; while PSB has no problem maintaining an erection, this time he lasted forever. Score one for the vibrating cock ring.

Back home, at long last alone, it was time to try out the Jel-lee Scorpio. I loaded it with two AA batteries. The cock ring comes with two sets of batteries, but you need to supply your own for the Scorpio itself. Turning it on, it hummed nicely in my hand. I lay down on my bed, slid off my panties, pulled the straps over my thighs, and secured the little arachnid so that the bump on his underside pressed against my clit. I pumped up the juice- I have enough experience with vibes to know that I usually like them full speed ahead- and let myself feel the vibrations warm and wet me.

Prepped and juicy, I was excited to slide the tail into my ass. I loved it. The vibrations traveled through the tail making my entire groin pulse and hum. The one drawback for me was when I use a vibrator I like to move it up and down or in slow circles over my clit. This one stays in one place, and I found that moving it didn’t produce the desired effect. In order for me to come, I had to use my hand.

The Jel-Lee Scorpio is a great way for someone hesitant yet intrigued by anal sex to work up to it. The sex toy's tail is slim and easy to insert. I got wet enough from the vibrator action to insert it without lube; though I highly recommend that beginners do use lube. It isn’t nearly as intimidating as it looks and the vibrating cock ring was a home run.
