Happy Masturbation Month! Along with being the month that celebrates my second favorite thing, it is also the month of Mother’s Day and my birthday. Happy coincidence? I think not!
Thanks to the good folks over at Good Vibrations for starting Masturbation Month in 1995, now known as International Masturbation Month.
Look masturbation is a part of being human. It is something we (should) all do. I found this infographic and thought you might enjoy it…
The Berman G is manufactured by California Exotics and endorsed by Dr. Laura Berman. The Berman G is mainly for G-spot stimulation. Some of you may remember that this has been an issue for me. This is the first toy that has enabled me to hit my g-spot on my own, ever! Usually Miguel can hit my g-spot for me. He is able to hit it with toys also, (I guess it helps being able to see what you are doing down there!). I wanted so bad to find a toy that actually worked with my anatomy. This toy did it for me!
The Berman G doesn’t look special. I was instantly skeptical of this product.
It is made of silicone, which is body safe. The Berman G has an ABS plastic cap and ABS with silver plating decorative ring. It is multi-speed via a turn dial on the cap. The vibrations are not very strong, I think this adds to g-spot comfort. I would rate the vibrations of this toy at about a 3 out of 5. The vibrations are based in the top of the shaft just before the curve, so the curve carries them nicely. I didn’t need to put it on full speed to fully enjoy its effects. It is 8 3/4″ in length with 6″ being insertable. It is made of shareable silicone in a pretty purple color.The material is a bit tacky and will pick up lint or hair, so store it away in a drawer or box and not out and exposed to dust. This toy is waterproof for extra fun and easy clean up. Silicone is easy to clean with some soap and water. The cap has a slide lock to make it watertight. I tested this product in a sink and it did not leak at all. This toy could be used in the shower or tub.
I tried this toy specifically to see if Dr.Laura Berman knew what she was talking about. Laura Berman, LCSW, PhD has been working as a sex educator and therapist for 20 years, and is considered a leader in her field. She is suppose to be an expert, so any toy with her name on it should be quality.
I put the 3 AAA batteries in and a small amount of lubrication (a little goes a long way since silicone does not absorb the lube like some other materials). Silicone toys are compatible with water-based lubrication. (Do not use silicone based lubrication as it will ruin the finish on the toy.) The tip is flexible for comfortable G-spot stimulation. The curved tip is just the right size and flexible enough to be very comfortable on my g-spot. Mine is a bit low so I didn’t need the entire shaft to hit the spot (pun intended!). It took me about 1 minute to find it. I am not saying it will be the same for everyone, but I am saying that it worked for me.The silicone on this toy is a bit harder than I have found on other products. Only the tip is bendable, the shaft is more rigid. The silicone is smooth except for the three strategically placed ridges. This toy is pretty quiet, too. It would not be heard through a closed door unless you had you ear to it.
I highly recommend this toy! California Exotics and Dr.Berman have produced a quality product. It is not fancy with bells and whistles. The packaging is very modest. But, this toy has inspired me to try out other g-spot toys. (now that I know where mine is!)
You can get this product for yourself at HedoVibes.
I received this product free of charge in exchange for an honest review. This review is in compliance with the FTC guidelines.
May has been Masturbation month since Good Vibrations started it in 1995.
Why?
Earlier that same month the Surgeon General, Dr. Joycelyn Elders, was fired for suggesting that masturbation should be included in sex education….what? Yes that is a fact! We live in a society where being open about sex can get you fired. Things have not changed that much since then.
It is a bit late, but I am telling you now and challenging you to celebrate this masturbation month by doing it every day!
Hey some of you already do, just do it because it is fashionable now!
I have always been curious about other people’s masturbation stories. Or rather, the first time they achieved orgasm by themselves.
I’ll tell you my story.
I was pregnant with my first child. Although I was a bit promiscuous in my youth I had never had the big “O”. By the way, cuming and orgasm are not the same thing.
I didn’t know that…until, well back to my story.
The guy wasn’t with me for various reasons, mostly because he was not ready to be a father. Anyways, my sister had a friend who sold sex toys at private parties and we held one at my house. I made one single purchase that changed my sex life forever….a silver bullet from California Exotics. It was a curious thing, but the girl with the toys said every woman should own one. A few days later I found myself playing with the bullet. I didn’t know what to do with it really. It had a cord, which suggested it was not really for insertion, so I played around with it a bit on my labia. I gotta be honest and tell you that I felt pretty stupid. Then I found my clit. It felt pretty good there and so I played with it there.
And then….Oh My God! What was that? A shuddering orgasm. I spasmed and got the warm tingely feeling all over my body.
It was all downhill from there. I used that bullet daily, sometimes twice a day, to bring me to orgasm. That was my sexual awakening. I guess for most guys this will seem strange. Some girls need clitoral stimulation to achieve the orgasm. I don’t know how everyone else figured it out. I fumbled my way into my first orgasm. I can tell you now that a silver bullet is the one toy I would want on a deserted island…well that and a shit load of batteries!
