About Him

One guy. Every toy. No filter.

I noticed something missing from the world of men’s toy reviews: someone willing to get past the packaging, the promises, and the five-star hype—and actually find out what deserves a place in your nightstand. I’ve personally tested 60+ products, and my curiosity has taken me well beyond the usual suspects. I have a particular fascination with anal play because, frankly, pleasure doesn’t exactly check your orientation at the door. Gay, straight, or somewhere in between—if it feels good, it’s worth exploring. I’m also not afraid to venture into sex dolls, masturbators, BDSM gear, gadgets, and whatever else catches my eye. If it’s intriguing, I want to get my hands on it. My job is to separate the pleasure from the pitch—to find the thrills, expose the flaws, and tell you what’s actually worth bringing home. No product gets a free pass. No sugarcoating. No pretending a dud is a delight. Just honest testing from a guy who’s willing to go a little further down the rabbit hole.

A wand that's meant to be shared

Wands don't have to be just for the ladies Approximately 80% of women need direct clitoral stimulation in order to orgasm. That's why external stimulation toys for women have gotten so popular. One of the most common ones are wands. Wands are king in this category because their design isn't just to vibrate they're meant to rumble. The flexible head at the top creates more wiggle room than any other vibrating sex toy creating much deeper vibrations. The motor being separated from the head allows for quite a bit of room to integrate powerful motors beneath while keeping a comfortable hand held design. Why would a guy buy a wand for himself? It's so easy to think of male sex toys as something you fuck or get fucked by. But when it comes down to it, it's just pleasure from touch. Given wands extreme power you can treat the tip of your dick as a big clit. I find strong vibrations on my tip to be a huge tease and a great form of edge play. The outside of the anus is also incredibly sensitive and has me moaning like crazy when met with the rumble stick. Lastly I find guys nipples to be neglected in the bedroom but man they are a blast with some deep vibrations and are a great foreplay tool. No longer has to be meant for external play Bvibe carries a very sleek looking and quite large wand, but beyond that they have a prostate massage attachment. This attachment is a tight fitting sleeve that goes over the head of a wand. It has a flexible curved arm that sticks out with a ball at the end. This shape is great for angling towards the prostate. Field test Lets talk about BVibes wand specifically, first of all this wand is huge. I'd say it's a little over a foot long and has a nice weight behind it. Like most wands it comes with several vibrating patterns, my favorite frequency is where it goes from a low rumbling to max power before resetting again. Power wise this is as powerful as it looks, it has more vibration increments than any other toy I've had for precision to your liking. Although large I personally didn't have any issue gripping the main shaft. I liked how I didn't need to use any lube to get pleasure out of a toy. I could just press it against my engorged tip and leak precum like crazy before busting. The attachment I found the attachment to be kind of difficult to get on and off given its tight fit and would've been nice if it came with instructions to make the process easier. After getting it on and teasing my anus I slipped it right in, the rumbling of the wand transferred well into the attachment. I found the control of the prostate massaging to not be as easy as a toy dedicated for prostate play given the size of the wand and the wand itself not being curved. The ball at the end of the attachment was the perfect size for nice general teasing of the prostate. I find that this attachment is better served in the couples fashion where you plan on sharing the wand and can switch to prostate play easily but I'd say dedicated prostate toys will offer more control without the bulk. Using the attachment on a partner will be easier than using it on themselves.

The Internet's favorite prostate toy with a twist

The Internet's favorite prostate toy with a twist

Simplicity is currently dominant in the prostate pleasure space The Internet's most popular prostate toy is not a toy that has vibration, heat, movement, or a crazy shape. It's a solid chunk of polished stainless steel with a great curve. I'm talking about the Njoy Pure Wand, this has been the most commonly recommended toy when I hear people mentioning their prostate orgasms. Tempted to take the leap and invest in a Njoy Pure Wand I first wanted to check one of my favorite brands B-Vibe since they nailed the [360 prostate toy](/reviews/6aac0d80351d44fe4d20f436) and the [rimming plug](/reviews/6a9b1c09c35deb942975e7b3). They carry the same stainless steel wand but with a twist, the one end has a larger bulb at the end which personally fits my pleasure preference of anal stretching better than Njoys smaller bulb. As well as the larger end has a nice ripple effect to give the anus a nice variation of stretching when going in and out. Lastly I found they are about $40 cheaper than the Njoy, so this was a no brainer that the Le Wand Hoop was a better fit for me. A solid steel toy has more benefits than just looking shiny Out of the box this thing is HEAVY, I found out how often I toss around my other toys since I nearly broke the floor with this guy with a light toss! I love the weight, it gives a premium feel. The steel is super shiny and reflects light beautifully. The wand being polished metal gave a smoothness that no silicone toy can offer. Being an all metal toy this allows for excellent temperature play, I liked dipping it in hot water before inserting it, my anus definitely thanked me by opening up for the toy real quick. If you're a freak you can intentionally cool the toy down, not my thing personally lol. Great control, weight is a huge bonus Inserting it I found excellent control, the small bulb is great for when you're trying to target a specific spot of the prostate. while the large bulb was nice for a more general massage. The wavy shape by the large bulb provided a mix up for when I got bored of the consistent shape of the small bulb. The weight gave a fullness factor that a light silicone toy just can't offer. I was able to use the weight as a lever to lightly press my prostate without activity adding force. Having a C shape wand makes the common come hither motion incredibly easy, I haven't been able to milk my prostate this easily in a while! There is one downside to such a smooth and heavy toy, when you get lube on your hands griping a toy with no sharp angles can be difficult. So just make sure you got a hand towel to wipe the lube off nearby. Having a wand with excellent control from its shape and material(for temperature play) has been a great addition to my anal sessions and has earned a spot in my local sex toy bag where Ill be using it every hot session.

Maximum Prostate Control

The most recommended toy shape for prostate play Since I was a teen I've been exploring prostate play and always been fascinated by the different techniques, paces and toys meant for optimal prostate play. My first sex toy was a prostate toy and I fell in love with how effective toys can be. I used to chase the infamous hands free prostate orgasm and had a few big successes. When I used to look through forums of what people used in their own prostate orgasm successes I found one common factor among each toy recommendation…shape. The majority of the toys people mentioned that pushed them over the hump were C shaped wands. Well I finally got my hands on one from TheBadPeach store. They carry the common recommended C shaped prostate toy but they stepped it up. At the tip where you'll rub your prostate there is a bouncing ball that has a pounding effect beyond just a high frequency vibration. I've never had a feature like this in a toy and needed to try it out. {{c:color: rgb(237, 231, 222);}} {{/c}} {{c:color: rgb(237, 231, 222);}}Hands on first impressions:{{/c}} Out of the box the toy has your common soft feeling silicone that's easy on the delicate rectum tissue. I love the gold band around the center of the wand over just a solid black toy, which gives a premium look. Size wise any beginner should be able to comfortably fit it in quickly. The massager was surprisingly much lighter than my other toys that are similar size. Which made me question how strong the motors will be. The curvature was greater than any toy I've owned in the past, I can't see any greater curve beyond this to serve a function. So much control! Laying on the floor with my back against a wall with the cushion of a few blankets I was ready. First I tried it without vibration. I found inserting it quite easy and immediately I was able to hit my prostate and do a come hither motion effortlessly. With the C shape I was also able to control the pressure I put on my bundle of sensitive nerves. The wand has two different shapes. I found the large side to be more pleasurable since I love a good stretch going in and out of my craving ass. My new favorite feature in a toy Turning on the vibration in combination with the ability to easily adjust the pressure made me melt deeper into the massager and started leaking pre-cum like crazy! Horny as can be, I turned on the ball vibration feature. I never had something more direct and precise in a toy than this. It was as if I added nitrous to a performance car. The rumble was so intense and I only needed to lightly press on my prostate to make my leak even more than I already was. Between the shape, vibrations, bouncing ball technology this massager is all about control and hitting the perfect spot on your prostate with ease. I'll be getting more C shaped prostate toys in the future!
