While in Las Vegas for the AEE, I attended a couple of Jamye Waxman's seminars, the first ever offered to fans, as opposed to the industry's conventioneers, and sponsored by retail & DVD giant Adam & Eve, which releases Jamye's new line of educational DVDs. Following her Sex Toys presentation, Jamye was handing out the implements she'd expounded upon, all of them also provided by Adam & Eve, and I gleefully snapped up The Natural Contours Ideal. This is the beefiest machine in the Natural Contours line, a selection of vibrators created by Candida Royalle and her team of sex toy engineers. It looked to me like it would serve two functions, as both a sex toy and an actual massager. I'll make a confession: I've never used the Hitachi Magic Wand. I know, sheer heresy in the sex toy reviewing field. I've also never used any of the products marketed primarily for "massage." I mean, you can use just about anything that vibrates -- from your clothes drier to your cell phone -- if you wanna get off. But my myriad opportunities to masturbate allow me to use the items designed specifically for masturbation! So I was excited to try out a toy that would serve both purposes.
The curved handle makes the Ideal perfect for self-massage use on your upper back and shoulders and sets it apart from the Hitachi Magic Wand. It has received rave reviews from people with arthritis, proving that it is practical for use as more than just a masturbation aid. The "head" of the Ideal rotates around or swivels (I can't quite describe the motion…) so that it has more flexibility. This may not be of much use on your privates but it works miracles on your muscles. Unfortunately it also causes a rather jarring rattle at times. But again, that probably won't happen when it's pressed between your thighs, more likely when it's being pressed into your lower back. My first encounter with the machine was with a partner. We started by using it as a genuine massager, vibrating our muscles. It worked like a charm, going straight to the core of the sore. From my shoulders to my lower back to my hips, the device made me feel nice! I have to admit, it came close to rattling my brain loose when he used it on my neck. When he started using it to tease me, spreading my legs and moving the machine closer to my clit, things started to really warm up. Initially, he wrapped his hand around the "head" of the Ideal, which essentially transformed his fingers into vibrators, arousing me MOST effectively. I flipped over to provide better, um, access and after a few moments of moving the machine around he pressed it right up against my clit. It didn't take long til it sent me over the edge; the gizmo is mighty powerful. Not to be left out, my partner held the vibrator against the back of his balls as he slid in and out of me, magically transforming his cock into a vibrator! Whee! I'm sure if we were to make the effort, we could perfect the timing on that little maneuver and achieve the fabled simultaneous orgasm. A solo date with the Ideal resulted in orgasm within minutes. In other words, it really gets the job done. It wouldn't be my first choice for teasing myself over the edge; it's just way too powerful for subtlety. In fact I'd bet that most women will be able to get off by merely holding the vibrator near their clit or using a few layers of padding between themselves and the vibrator. However, the power might be precisely its appeal. It won't let you down. In a second attempt with a partner, we started out the same way: using it in a therapeutic manner. It sure does get deep into tight muscles! But this time, instead of flipping over after being teased with the machine, my partner pushed it beneath me and said, "Here, you position it." I did as suggested while he slid inside me and man, oh man, did that do the trick! The vibration not only heightened the pleasure for him, having it pressed against me while being taken from behind was definitely getting the best from both ends! Heh. It was awesome! I even enjoyed a few moments of extended personal pleasure, riding the afterwaves for a while. Mmmm! As for the power source of this powerhouse, the electrical cord is long enough for comfortable use while plugged in but it can be used cordless, as it's rechargeable. Although it was tough to gauge exactly how long the charge lasted while in the throes, so to speak, I found that if I just left it on, buzzing away on its own, the charge held for just over one hour... 63 minutes, to be exact. It was pretty amusing watching the toy skid around on its own, like some demented, posessed machine. I probably could've gotten off just sitting beside it on the couch! I would assume that the charge wouldn't last quite as long while in "heavy" use. In summation, the Ideal isn't the most discrete of machines; it makes so much noise I was afraid I might wake the neighbors with it. Of course, that's in comparison to the smaller, more compact toys I'm used to playing with. And you won't have much luck massaging sore muscles with a Pocket Rocket. But be advised: the Ideal's buzz is pretty robust! I'm also not sure I'd advise direct-to-clit stimulation for the faint of heart or less stout of genitalia! In other words, I wouldn't recommend this as a starter toy. But since it does work so well as a massager, this is one you can leave lying around the house or, for that matter, give as a gift to your sexless relatives. It's a wink-wink kinda thing. Give 'er a go!
