Pleasure Product Review: Svakom Hannes Neo

The kind folks at Svakom came to the sex shop I work at for a tutorial and as a gift allowed members of the staff to pick an item. Of their products marketed for people with a penis and a prostate, I already have toys that I am quite happy with. However, there was one product that did pique my curiosity.

It was the Hannes Neo.

Why did it pique my curiosity so? It was the throbbing motion. I first imagined how it feels when my penis is inside an anus or a vagina, the clenching that comes with the person nearing or having an orgasm. Then I imagined feeling that clenching on some variation of a repeat. That last part is what sold me.

Once I got it, I charged it at work so once I got it home, I would not have to delay in playing with it.

So did it do as I had hoped? In that regards, it did give the pleasure of a partner repeatedly throbbing from an orgasm. And the varying patterns (indicated by the button changing colors) made it feel like those throbs were not steady. However, that was only on the initial intensity setting. Once you intensify it, it goes back to its original pattern when you first turned on the device. This happens whether you do it manually or by using the Svakom app. Not having those other patterns able to grow in intensity is about the only drawback I felt with the Hannes Neo.

Another feature of the Hannes Neo is its ability to be used with the FeelConnect app. I used the app to sync it with porn. The Hannes Neo was not necessarily throbbing in sync with any videos, but the stroking did. For that, I very much enjoyed using it with FeelConnect.   

Many believe that the Hannes Neo is hands-free. Perhaps it is for some, but not for me. It is because the thrust of the Hannes Neo makes me have to go deeper into it so I can experience all of the textures of the sleeve. For this reason, my saying that the Hannes Neo is not hands-free for me is not at all a complaint. Because personally, grinding into my electronic strokers further intensifies my getting off.

I have often said that I have moments where my thought process is very much in sync with what is said to be a male way of thinking while in other ways I am in common with a way of thinking thought to be common with that of a female. In the case of playing with the Hannes Neo, I went to being the typical male. Because I did not so much as open the instruction manual. Don't get me wrong. The instructions for the Hannes Neo are not at all difficult to figure out without reading the manual. However, it is a smarter move to read them on any product so you know from the jump that you are not mishandling your sex toy in any way. For your own safety and to make a proper claim within your sex toy's warranty.

With that said, know that the sleeve of the Hannes Neo is made of TPE. And it works best with a water-based lube. If you want some lube recommendations, considering how long ago the article was written, a good start would be my lube recommendations that I wrote in an article for Thotyssey.

As for cleaning, while you can easily use any body-safe soap, for porous materials, I recommend an actual anti-bacterial toy cleaner for that added protection. 

Also, the Hannes Neo is not waterproof. Therefore, after cleaning the sleeve, make sure the sleeve is completely dry inside and especially outside before placing it back into the Hannes Neo's receptacle. Otherwise, the moisture could cause the product to short circuit. An error that will void your product's warranty.

So to summarize, I very much liked the Hannes Neo. If you want a motorized masturbation sleeve with an extra feature, such as throbbing and interactive capabilities,  then I definitely recommend the Hannes Neo. 

Pleasure Products Review: Keon Sex Machine

I have been a fan of Kiiroo's products for years now. While that might seem like a biased critique since I have been on occasion blogging for them for some years now, my trying to build a sex educator brand based on integrity would not allow me to continue writing for them if I didn't have good reason to be a fan.

One of the reasons I am a fan is because when there is a void in their product line, at some point they do fill it. Such as just as I was about to ask them why they had so many male strokers with the external of a vagina, Kiiroo introduced a stroker with the external of a butt. Thereby expanding their potential clientele to include gay male tops and lovers of anal sex of any sexual orientation.

Another suggestion I was going to make was if they could make a thrusting dildo. Possibly by compacting the technology to make the Keon into a dildo. Well, before I got around to sending that email, I was given the attachments needed to turn my Keon into their Keon Sex Machine.

The Keon Sex Machine comes with a Keon (which I already own), plus a vacuum lock dildo and a dildo adapter.

The video tutorial to explain how to put it all together can be found at: https://vimeo.com/752579016

Since the size, shape, and/or color of the dildo that comes with the Keon Sex Machine might not be your preferred one, know that the dildo adapter can actually work with most dildos with a vacuum lock. The exception would be those vacuum lock dildos that also have balls that would make the dildo exceed the diameter of the Keon.

I posted a NSFW video on my Twitter to show the Keon Sex Machine in action.

Ever since I saw #MykeGlory on @FeelXvideosXXX in the background video, I wanted to feel his thrusts inside me.

Now that @Kiiroo has a dildo & adapter to turn the Keon into a #SexMachine, I finally did. You'll see it felt so good, I came a good deal before the video was done. pic.twitter.com/CgH3LQkI3D

Like I said in the tweet, when I discovered that video on FeelXVideos, I wanted something to put in my butt to simulate Myke Glory's thrusts. At first I settled for getting off by living vicariously through his penis as the Keon moved in sync with him. But the Keon Sex Machine now gives me exactly what I want in my fantasies of him. In fact, it thrilled me so much that while I normally can hold my orgasm and ejaculation until the end of the scene, the Sex Machine thrusted into me so good that the dildo hit my prostate as I was stroking my penis and made me come before the scene ended.

For the record, I'm someone who when I bottom, if I ejaculate, I can still take getting penetrated until my partner stops. So know that the ending of the video was just for the sake of ending the video. Since then, even after coming I've still let the Keon Sex Machine thrust into me until the guy penetrating is done.

Of course as with most sex toys, there is a downside to report. That downside being that the Keon is round, so it might be hard to hold down while it thrusts. This is a minor downside that I believe can be remedied by purchasing either the table clamp or neck strap accessory for the Keon. Perhaps Kiiroo will soon create something like more of a holder that the Keon can stay in place in. Other than that, I immensely enjoy my Keon more than I thought possible.

With that said, I wholehearted advise purchasing the Keon Sex Machine. For it is definitely as what the promos are saying---a game changer. For yes, sex machines with thrusting dildos have been around for awhile now. But not until now, THANKS to Kiiroo is there a sex machine that is completely interactive through connections with other Kiiroo products or interactive porn.

Now, if you'll excuse me, this has put me in the mood for another masturbation session with my Keon Sex Machine.

Pleasure Product Review: Arcwave Voy

 At a training session on their products, the kind folks at Wowtech allowed my co-workers and myself to choose a product. I chose their male masturbator, Voy.

What I learned from that training is that unlike other male masturbators, Voy allows for EIGHT(8) levels of tightness. Of course, that depends on preference, but even more so on one's phallic girth. Plus, also unlike other sleeves, the Voy's sleeve is made of silicone, which allows it to be more durable (when used with water-based lubes), and even shareable (if that's your kink).

Voy also allows for quite discreet storage and unnoticeable placement. For when closed (as in the 2nd pic), it can easily be mistaken for either a Bluetooth speaker or a professional camera lens.

With the Voy's sleeve being made of silicone, it is very easy to clean. All you need is any body-safe soap or toy cleaner. However, if you clean the sleeve by removing it from its holder, be sure to set the tightness adjuster to its lowest setting for easy removal and placement back into the holder.

The main draw to any sex toy review about a male stroker is the sensation. Well, the texture of the sleeve being ridges is one of the most common, but still pleasing sensations to the penis. Add to that how you can change how close against your penis those ridges are with a simple turn of the toy, even changing up during a masturbation session, and you have a male stroker that can blow your mind.

I know because I, someone who usually plays with a sex toy, gets off, washes it, then never plays with it again for awhile, this time went back to it...for a few consecutive days.

Lastly, at the moment, the price point for a stroker does seem pretty high. However, compared to the overrated Fleshlight, with the Voy, you are paying about maybe $20 more for a male stroker that will 1)last you longer because of it being made with better material (silicone) and; 2)that you can actually adjust, thereby create a variation in sensation during a masturbation session. Variation you cannot get while masturbating with a Fleshlight.

With that high rating for a Voy, be sure to get yours soon.

Pleasure Product Review: Feel Me Strokers (Leigh Raven & September Reign)

The folks at Kiiroo were kind enough to give me, not 1, but 2 of their latest FeelMe strokers to test. One of Leigh Raven and the other of September Reign.

There really is no contest between these 2 sleeves. They both offer amazing pleasure, but by different means.

For as seen in the above photo, both contain textures that are hits within male strokers. Such as the twists and rings in the Leigh Raven FeelMe stroker. Making it focus more on spots of widening and thinning within the sleeve's plus subtle textures.

Meanwhile, you can see that the sleeve of the September Reign FeelMe stroker focuses more heavily on varying textures. Textures that are also hits within the male strokers. Such as in addition to the all-time favorite ring texture, there is also a section within the sleeve of a netted texture.

The differences in widening and textures are more so felt on the head of the penis on longer strokes. Be they done by the Keon or by the user's hand. Regardless of how you use it, while all bodies are different, I doubt that you will be disappointed with the outcome.

With that said, I most definitely recommend either or both of these strokers. Get just one because the differences described, or both to change up sensations when using a Kiiroo Keon or manual use.

Whatever you decide, enjoy it. Because as I always say, YOUR BODY, YOUR CALL. 👍😊 

Pleasure Product Review: Pulse Solo Interactive

It appears Kiiroo has made another great joint venture with their interactive technology by pairing with Hot Octopuss to give us the male interactive toy, Pulse Solo Interactive.

The Pulse by Hot Octopuss has been around for a few years now. I have never owned one, so Kiiroo sending me this new product popped my Pulse cherry. Not my Hot Octopuss cherry because if you've followed me long enough, I did a Nude Dude Review featuring Hot Octopuss' Atom/Plus and made a video with their Amo. With that said, I know Hot Octopuss makes good products. I just never experienced their PulsePlate™ feature for the penis before.

Let's start with just the PulsePlate™. That was awesome. I greatly enjoyed going through the 6 vibration patterns. Sometimes stroking so the PulsePlate™ vibrates along the shaft as well as the frenulum (under-head of the penis). Others times I held it still to let it solely hit the frenulum, which could at times bring me near climax like the classic Magic Wand can against that area. Yes, the vibration hits that strongly. And the reason that plate hits just as great as a Magic Wand (which is much larger) is because the plate is just the right size to let the Pulse Solo Interactive actually cup the frenulum. Much like one's tongue does the penis when giving great oral sex. It's the same trick, but with electronically-created vibration.

The interactive part of the Pulse Solo Interactive is what I couldn't wait to see. For I've experienced the interactive stroking from Kiiroo toys and vibration from the Titan. But I was not prepared for how such videos connected via the FeelConnect app would relate to the pulsing of the Pulse Solo Interactive.

I LOVED IT!

The videos on my list at FeelXVideos.com that worked with the Pulse Solo Interactive had vibration that pulled me in so much that I almost orgasmed before getting to the end of a scene. In fact, there's only 1 movie so far that I have sat through, and there is video evidence of that test. 

I used it in all ways promoted in the press release. Again, not stroking with it, but also holding it in place, and not moving. Just letting the PulsePlate™'s taps on my frenulum be in sync with the video and letting that get me to orgasm. It had such moments of intensity that I had times in which I had to pull out of the Pulse Solo Interactive because I wanted to be orgasm with end of the scene.

I also saw it interact with my strokers Kiiroo's Onyx+ and Titan. Stroking the sensors on these 2 toys reacted well with the Pulse Solo Interactive. With that being the case, I think it's safe to conclude that it would do the same with the sensors in other Kiiroo-powered toys like the Pearl.

The Pulse Interactive is waterproof. So your Guybrator fun can also be had in the shower.

It comes with a USB charging cord and can be charged via any USB port. Once plugged in, it takes about 3 hours to fully charge and works for about 1 hour after.

The body-touching part of it are made of silicone, while the rest is made of ABS plastic. Since silicone is non-porous and won't hold bacteria, you can easily clean it with any body-safe soap or toy cleaner with no worries after.

Its compact size and accompanying pouch makes it easy to travel with. So while on the road, you can enjoy either its 6 vibration patterns, or (via the FeelConnect app) interact with 2D and VR videos and/or a partner with a matching toy.

All of these features work so well that I highly recommend Hot Octopuss' Pulse Interactive powered by Kiiroo.

Pleasure Product Review: Arcwave Ion

Ever since the sex toy Womanizer caused a craving of suction toys for the clitoris, the burning question from males and those buying for males became, "Is there something like this for men?"

Before the answer was no. But now, with the Arcwave Ion, the answer is yes.

The PleasureAir technology that made the Womanizer so famous is now in a toy marketed for males. And while I often say that the sex toy industry can sometimes be too gender-specific for their own good, with the design of the Ion, they did not go wrong.

I have actually played with a Womanizer. Running it along the frenulum, and although it took awhile, did achieve an orgasm. However, I always knew that if they ever made a male version that some things needed to be different. I just didn't know what. Luckily, the designers of the Ion figured out what.

For starters, I have often said that with sex toys for penile stimulation, a male-bodied person usually wants their penis enclosed. More so along the shaft. And that is exactly how the Ion is designed. With a stretchy silicone covering for the shaft that accommodates various penile widths. The ridges that run along that covering as well as near the Pleasure Air orifice add greatly to the sensation.

The opening at the end allows the head of the penis(glans) to peek out and experience the 8 intensity levels of Pleasure Air technology by way of a slightly larger mechanism than a Womanizer. Confirming how (even before discovering the diagram below) I have always said that the glans of a penis is just a large clitoris and vice versa. I have made many sex shop customers rethink their gendering of sex toys by telling that fact.

At first look, you would be concerned about how to clean an Ion. Well, 2 things make that very easy:

1) it is waterproof. So you can put it under the sink with no worry to clean it, and;

2) a simple twist makes the top part for the shaft detach from the rest of the toy. Allowing an easy clean of both the part for the shaft, and the Pleasure Air mechanism with either a toy cleaner or body-safe soap.

The Arcwave Ion comes with a storage base/charging port that makes it easy for discreet travel, as well as discreet display within the home. Unless they have one themselves, guests are more likely to assume it to be nothing more than a Bluetooth speaker, electric pencil sharpener, or small air purifier. And as far as charging goes, you are looking at about almost 1.5 hours of charging time that gives about that much playing time at minimum intensity, and about 1 hour at maximum intensity.

As with almost all sex toys, water-based lube is the way to go. I will advise to try not overdoing it on the lube. For the top button that looks like a speaker with an X next to it on the Ion controls a feature much like the Womanizer Premium that allows the toy to respond to contact with the body. In my experience, if too much lube is in the Pleasure Air mechanism, then that features ceases to work. Leaving you to either stop and lessen the lube in that area, or turn that feature off completely.

With all that said, I very much enjoy the Arcwave Ion. With many of my stroker toys, I often use them enough to review them, then push them aside, and go to my old reliable hand when the mood strikes However, the Ion has been bought out a good number of times since using it for this review. It is one of those male sex toys I believe we male-bodied people wanted, but didn't know it until it was presented to us.

So for that, THANKS, ARCWAVE! 😊
