The Sinnflut Benjamin Bond|Sinnflut Benjamin Bond - Silicone vibrator by Fun Factory is an oddly shaped vibrator that packs a hell of a wallop into its little frame. OK, actually, it's not so little; in fact, the faint of heart might even find it rather... large.

The hardest part may be the first day; you have to charge it for ten hours. Ten hours of staring at this beautiful piece of silicone as it stands there all innocent like in its cradle and just wishing you could try it. Ten hours! Of course, after that, it's fully charged, and your hands have never touched a battery; so even though that first ten hours is torture, I'm calling it a win.

Anyway, after the torturous wait, I whipped out this adorable toy and started to play with the settings. I found the controls to be incredibly easy to understand but also somewhat primitive. There is a small button on the base of the toy and a small joystick like lever. Button turns toy on and off, and joystick controls the vibration level.

There are six vibration levels from nice and gentle to holy crap, and then there are three functions. Long and grindy pulsing, faster pulsing, and still faster pulsing. Unfortunately, you have to go through all six vibrations to get to the functions, and you can scroll through the functions but not change their intensity levels. I kept wishing for more control or for the ability to lower the power of the pulses while still keeping the pulsing sensations.

I lubed up the toy with Liquid Silk|Liquid silk lubricant (no silicone lube please) and started to play, and holy moly do those funny looking ridges ever hit the spot. If you turn on this vibe and then play with the standard up and down motions along your clit, I predict orgasm in minutes. Not very many minutes either.

After a time, I decided to try Benjamin Bond on the inside instead of the outside. I added some more lube and went for it. The head slid in easily, but I had a little trouble with the ridges. After I slid it out and lubed it some more and got myself more aroused, I found it easy to slide in far enough that I was surprised at the depth. I had expected the ridges to cause more trouble.

I would not personally recommend in and out thrusting; for me, I found that that caused me to pinch the skin of my entrance uncomfortably and made me feel ill used. That said, playing with the settings while Benjamin is nestled inside you leaves your entire pussy throbbing and happy, so that's all right too.

Unfortunately, once my hands were covered in lube, it got a lot harder to operate the little joystick. You have to press pretty hard and hold the toy with one hand while the other operates the joystick. Particularly awkward if your other hand is playing anally.

This is a great vibrator for clitoral stimulation|Clitoral vibrators and clit stimulation toys and for playing with your partner's penis and a good vibrator for vaginal stimulation, but I don't particularly recommend it for your g-spot or for those who are daunted by large toys.

That said, if you want a traditional vibe|The main types of vibrators on the market that's good for you, better for the environment, and sure to fix your itch, this is the one for you.
