There’s been a lot of hype regarding the Roto-Bator male sex toy, and having read some highly promising initial reviews of the product I decided to give it a go.  What was most intriguing about this toy was its novelty – it works by spinning what appears to be a kind of masturbation sleeve around your penis.  That’s right, it doesn’t suck, or pump, it spins/rotates around your penis, promising to deliver to your precious member a sensory experience unrivalled by any previous sex toy 0r, for that matter, any human vagina.

Having been blown away by the Tenga Flip Hole, I’ve become attracted to the idea of male sex toys that focus less on trying to immitate the real thing, and instead that try to go completely beyond it.  Never having had a girlfriend who could spin her pussy around my penis at 180 revolutions a minute, I decided I simply had to experience what the Roto-Bator had to offer.

Well, I’ve never experienced a bigger let down from a new sex toy. 

After only a few seconds of  being inside this thing, I felt like I had just got back from a trip to the penis dentist.  I experienced no sexual pleasure at all – just discomfort followed by a rapid desensatisation of the penis head.  Not every penis is the same, of course, and you might experience this differently, but even before my penis became numb (after about 5 seconds) the feeling was quite unpleasant. 

To be honest, I would have already thrown this thing in the dustbin if it were not for the fact that the ‘sleeve’ is so volumous and pliable that it’s possible to insert a small masturbation sleeve (such as the Super Head Honcho) inside of it.  This could be the toys saving grace, and once feeling has been restored to my penis, I’ll give it a try.  However, even if this rescue act does work, the fact that this toy, used as intended, will likely put many first time male sex toy buyers off the genre for life, means that I can only give the ‘Roto-Bator’ an unreserved thumbs down.

You’d be much better off purchasing the A-10 Cyclone, or a genuine male vibrator such as the excellent  Cobra Libre.

To co-incide with Hustler Magazine’s release of the 3D porn parody of Avatar, Fleshlight have revealed a new alien sex toy that promises to ‘abduct your penis and send it spiraling through a real milky way’!  The new Fleshlight contains a radical new inner texture, with convoluted ribbed vortexes that are literally…out of this world.  Astronomers have been debating for years on whether we are lone masturbators in the universe or if there really is any other fuckable lifeforms out there. Watching ‘This Aint Avatar XXX’ whilst tugging away with the Fleshlight Alien might not solve the age old question, but it will certainly send your penis into another universe.

The Fleshlight and its more recent upstart rival the Tenga Flip Hole have been waging war for the last two years in the battle to be crowned the world’s number 1 male sex toy.  It’s been a fierce battle, and Fleshlight have not been willing to give up their undisputed crown easily.  Male masturbator fans seem evenly split on this one.  Fleshlight fans point to the amazing realism of their favourite sex toy, the wide variety of exchangable inner sleeves, the tried and tested durability of a Fleshlight…Tenga Flip Hole adherents say that their joy toy has improved upon the Fleshlight, and point to the unique variety of intense vaccum induced sensations that the Flip can produce at the touch of a button.

But now the war between Fleshlight and Tenga has become very serious indeed.  The makers of the legendary Fleshlight have taken the Japanese sex toy company Tenga to court over alleged patent infringements.  Fleshlight executive Vice President Brian Shubin claims that :

“There are about six, and as many as eight, products that are in violation of at least one of our patents…Each company that’s named in this is in one way violating a patent or trademark.”

This is interesting, if a little sad.  Whether or not Tenga have copied the Fleshlight in any way, it’s undeniable that their toys incorporate groundbreaking features that could in no way have come from the Fleshlight.  I’m not sure what a guilty verdict would mean.  Would it be the end of Tenga eggs and even the Flip Hole???  I hope sincerely not, but if you haven’t already bought the Flip, perhaps you should hurry up.

The Cobra Libre

It’s genuinely exciting times for purchasers of male sex toys.  There seems to be new male masturbators appearing on the market virtually every month now.  And what’s most exciting, is that many of these new sex toys for men are not only new but quite simply revolutionary. The ‘Cobra Libre’ is the latest and possibly most ground breaking of these new masturbators.  In fact, it could actually be described as the closest thing yet to a genuine male vibrator and not even in the same category as a typical masturbation sleeve such as the Fleshlight.

The look of the Cobra Libre is obviously striking, modelling itself on the beautiful aesthetic design of the Cobra racing car.  Not only does it look discreet (i.e. not like a sex toy), it also further appeals to the ‘guy’ market who might not normally consider ‘using a vibrator’ or any male sex toy. 

But the truly revolutionary aspect of the Cobra Libre lies in what it does, and how it does it.  The masturbation sleeve itself contains dips and ridges, just like a Tenga or a Fleshlight.  But the Cobra contains two independent vibrating motors, which provide for a delicious variety of different pulses and massage sensations, and which can be operated  via simple touch pad controls.  The Cobra is only designed to stimulate the tip of the penis and this is another thing that makes it different even, for example, from the Fleshlight Vibro.

Fleshlight, the best selling male sex toy range in the world, is now shipping directly to European customers. Vistors to the Fleshlight Home Page are now re-directed to their own European version of the site, with prices in Euros and other modifications.  Orders placed on the Fleshlight will also ship directly to European customers from a distribution center based in Europe.

The American website has also undergone some interesting changes with simpler navigation and easier access to their video library.

With the likes of Tenga now increasing its share of the world-wide market and RealTouch threatning to take off in Europe when it finally goes on sale there (there is massive interest in the RealTouch in Germany), it looks like Fleshlight is having to raise its game still further to stay at the top of the pile.  Good news for male sex toy fans!

Big Honcho – $52.78

The Sue Johanson Head Honcho and the Super Head Honcho have quickly become amongst the most popular and highly rated male sex toys under $50.  Now makers California Exotic Novelties have created a bigger and slightly more expensive version. President Susan Colvin explains :

“Up to now, we’ve had the Head Honcho and the Super Head Honcho, The Big Honcho is our latest addition — it’s bigger and thicker than its predecessors, which we think will translate into more pleasure.”

A new Honcho more pleasurable than the Super Head?  Something to be excited about.  I’ll post my review here when mine arrives in the post.

Tenga Flip Lite – $59

The latest version of the tenga flip hole is now available to order from kanojo toys.  This isn’t just a small upgrade aka the Flip Hole Black Edition, but a radically new Fip Hole.  Tenga say that it has been designed to combine the best features of their small disposable egg masturbators with the incredible stimulation and features of the Flip Holes.

Like their big brothers, the new Flip Holes come in black and white versions, but it seems that the respective differences between each interior is much greater than the full sized versions.  According to Tenga, the White Lite is for those who like a love hole to be soft and gentle.  The Flip Black Lite, on the other hand, appears to be for more hardcore tastes.  It contains four walls in its center together with four swirls at the front. and a large ball at the end to finish the job.  You can see the interiors of the two Tenga Flip Lites below :

You know that the sex toy business is both massive and mainstream when one of the largest companies in the world – Philips – is determined to take a slice of the pie.  In fact it is estimated that the sex toy industry generates $9 billion of profits each year.  No wonder that the Dutch electronics giant has jumped into an ‘adult’ industry with few worries.  Philips ‘Sensual Massagers’ are being promoted as bonafide health products that can help couples enjoy their sex lives and even live longer. 

According to Worp the total market for sex-toys is about $97 billion, but Philips is only targeting a small segment of it that still could be significant in size.

And it serves public health as well. “People who have a good sexual relationships live 12 years longer and look 10 years younger,” Paula Hall, a sex and relationship expert who advised Philips in the process of designing and developing the toys.

“It actually reduces chances of getting cancer, heart deceases and lowers blood pressure,” she claims.

Since introducing the product line in the United Kingdom at Boots, Amazon and other retailers, Europe’s biggest consumer electronics producer has expanded distribution in Spain, France, Germany and the Benelux countries.

The Rubbot project was an attempt to create a satisfactory male sex toy by a group of dissatisfied independent product designers. Followers of the group’s Rubbot homepage were increasingly frustrated at having to read the documenting of yet more delays and problems in a project that began in 2006.

The makers of the mythical Rubbot decided recently that they would set a public deadline of January 15th this year for the sex toy to be officially announced to be ready, or else the project would be abandoned. With this deadline passing, it seems that the group have played fair and ended the Rubbot as a public exercise. The good news is that they are going to continue, if a little more privately and informally, to seek the holy grail of a male sex toy that will satisfy every man.

Although the news is a little disappointing, in a sense the Rubbot project has been rendered a little irrelevant. Since the project started nearly 4 years ago, the Tenga Flip Hole has demonstrated that sex toys for men can provide incredible physical sexual pleasure in themselves. Hell, I don’t even have to think of anything sexy anymore when I’m using it. We also now have the RealTouch, a virtual sex device that puts any sex toy for women currently available in a different epoch. Fleshlight continues to produce better and better toys, with a growing range of realistic pussys modelled on the actual vaginas of female pornstars and even recently introducing a Fleshlight vibrator. We have an increasing number of blowjob machines- in fact the world of male sex toys has been transformed in the last few years, and now that the taboo of men using sex toys seems to have been well and truly smashed, it seems inevitable that male masturbators will continue to improve in the near future. Combined with the latest developments in virtual sex and 3D porn, male masturbation has never looked in better shape.

Despite that, it is disappointing that the Rubbot project has been discontinued, at least as a public exercise. Never before had the science of male sexual pleasure been so thoroughly analysed. It was also refreshing and quite unique to have a project dedicated to the sexual needs of men.

The Meiki no Hikaku Japanese Onahole is possibly the most realistically designed artificial vagina in the world. Its intricate ribbed interior was created using 3D design technology and represents the state of the art in such realistic sex toys.

The Meiki no Hikaku Utensil Race comes in two different versions – one designed to replicate the vagina of more mature woman, and one that recreates the tight pussy of a younger beauty.
