The Better Sex Pleasure System

Dontcha just love those photos of women massaging their necks? Erogenous zone my ass! You’re never gonna climax with that thing on your neck, hon! And the amusing photos of the official sexpert on the box, in this case Linda Banner, Ph.D., psychologist, sex researcher, author and narrator of the Better Sex Video Series. It makes it all seem so clinical. And proper! Not like something designed to jam up your ass or press against your privates or otherwise wank with, eh?

Well, this may indeed be a highbrow product. The Better Sex Synergy Pleasure System is from the scientists at Sinclair Intimacy Institute. It is ingeniously designed and elegantly packaged. The impressive gizmo comes with five separate attachments for a total of seven different tips. The literature encourages you to try them on nipples, perineum, inner thigh and other erogenous zones. “Use your imagination!” Let’s go through them one by one.

The Dual Navigator has a shallow cup on one side and rounded head. (They say pointed, but it ain’t exactly pointy. You wouldn’t really want pointy, would you? Cupping the cuppy thin on my nipples didn’t thrill me quite as much as my spit-slicked fingers do, but then I’m a slut like that.

The Beaded Ball has “texture nodules for pin point erogenous zone stimulation.” Whatever, I liked the way it felt; those little nodules are cool! And sliding them around made for an interestingly nubbley experience.

The Cup & Ridges piece has a deeper cuppy thing that’s, yup, ridgey on the other side. It looks kinda like a melon baler and gave me about as much pleasure. They recommend it for the penis, but since I don’t have one, I can’t really attest. I suppose the ridges could conceivably “offer pleasurable sensations over the entire body,” as they say, but if someone’s rubbing a sex toy all over your body—or rubbing anything all over you, for that matter—I sure hope you’d be experiencing pleasurable sensations!

I gave the G-Spot attachment a good college try, but all the angling and spelunking did not result in my squirting or even climaxing. Guess I’m just a clit chick.

That said, it was the Rabbit Flutter that sent me over the edge. Of course, by that point anything vibrating would’ve done the trick. The two little “ears” don’t open wide enough to really get a good purchase on the goods, er, clitoral hood, and the material isn’t as flexible as the soft rubbery stuff the Rabbit Habit is made of. But again, once something’s vibrating against my clit, it doesn’t take me long. Sigh.

Probably the biggest selling point of this particular sex toy is the way the attachments actually attach. They snap onto the vibrating mechanism with a satisfying little click and whatever it is that makes the electrical connection is a mystery. The best thing about all these little knobs and nubbins is that they are completely submergible, so you can get them really clean! There are six speeds, from a gentle hum to a more jaw-rattling whir, that set the attachments abuzz. The biggest drawback was this baby needed a full eight hours to charge, which was a bummer when I was all ready to plug in and go. Once you’re all juiced up, you’re good to go, though! I give the Better Sex Synergy Pleasure System two Beaded Balls up!
