Toys in Love

I’m usually not the greatest fan of cock rings. – Never really have been, and I have tried more than my fair share believe you me. – No luck finding a perfect match though… I’m not really sure why. – Mostly they’ve just never appealed to me I think. – I mean, the damn things usually did what they were supposed to do; choke the living daylights out of my member and hold the tide back for a little while longer… – But I gotta tell ya’; not really my thing. – Well, until now of course…

LELO… Seriously, if you don’t know the name by now, then you’ve never visited a review site. – Which is cool, but just that statement alone should give a clue as to the magnitude of fame we are dealing with here. So, for educational purposes, by all means, let me; LELO stems from Sweden, makes some of the best sex toys in the world and generally just rule! – I doubt very much you’ll find a female sex toy reviewer out there that hasn’t given full marks to a LELO vibrator or a gent’ reviewer without a Billy or Bob on their top shelf. In short; when LELO does anything, they more often than not get it right.

Now then, enter the mighty TOR and Heavens beware, because the Norse God of thunder is on the prowl.

TOR comes in the famous cool black box the rest of Homme range also sees fit to wear as rather luxurious gentlemen attire. – Very debonair and laid back, knowing it’s own cool’ness amongst a billion and two boxes sporting everything from naked folks copulating to screaming colors both inside and outside the known spectrum. No, the TOR comes dressed to impress and looks fantastic!

Inside the cool black box you’ll find the cock ring itself, a charger, a small clamshell case, a care/manual ‘book’ and a couple of guaranty/warranty leaflets. – All very simple and elegant. Nothing to confuse you, and everything you’ll need to keep the cock ring safe and sound in world of prying eyes and dusty rooms…

The TOR itself then has two separate parts: the stretchable rubber ring and the rechargeable vibe, which slides neatly into a groove on the top of the ring. The two sit separately in the very discreet clamshell case that allows you to charge the vibe while shut.

On the vibe part you’ll find two buttons; a + button that’ll let you click though the six levels of intensity, from a gentle buzz and all the way up to the earth shattering level that can leave you shaking down to the roots of your cock, even after it’s turned off. And a – button, that’ll let you dial back in intensity or completely to turn him off. – Very easy. And even better, it’s practically silent, – even when cranked up to the highest level. – Which is a definite plus!

The stretchable band, which can be stretched up to an approx. 2 inches in diameter, can be placed either around your dick, or around your balls. There are several ways this can be done: Vibe on top of the dick or below, or under or over the balls. – Giving you one hell of a perineum workout. But if you are with a partner, you’ll probably want the vibe on top of your member so the girl can get some clit stimulation as well.

You should handle the band with some care though, – don’t over-stretch it, and you might want to be rather meticulous about grooming, – otherwise you’ll be experiencing some of the unsexiest sensations I can think of: snapping, pinching, and pulling. Other than that the band seems to be sturdy and strong. – I’ve tried using cheaper cock rings that snapped during sex, and trust me on this, nothing is more of a mood killer than the pain of a cock ring snapping when you are good, well and deep inside your partner. I have a very hard time seeing this happening with the TOR though. The band is made of very strong, body-safe materials and I for one have no concerns about this one giving in, – before I give up!

Even though this is a cock ring, and as such isn’t used for penetration, where you’ll usually use lube. – It’ll slide much easier on and around your member or balls, if you use a good water-based lube.

So, we’ve determined TOR is made from safe materials and good quality, but how does he perform? Well, cock rings as such are not just practical in their function of keeping your cock happy and hard for a longer period of time, but the extra tension and pressure they exert on your balls is a sensual pleasure all of its own. Now add the vibe and you just went to a whole new level of pleasure. – For you and your partner.

I let TOR charge all day before slipping him on yesterday. – Just on my dick – vibe on top – and scrolling through the settings, which LELO calls; from soft flutter to intense pulsation. I found the stronger settings to be way too much, and I settled for a medium one I liked (2 or 3). My OH started stroking me, and then proceeded with a slow blowjob. I felt my dick filling up as the rubber band was keeping my blood flow in my dick… – it quickly became larger than usual. As my dick swelled, I now felt I could scroll further up through the vibration intensities (4 or 5) without discomfort. – Actually; it felt great!

After a good deal of stroking, licking and having fun with each other – and this was all with the vibe running, – we had sex. I discovered that I could turn the vibe all the way up to the last setting (6) now, and we definitely both felt it. I would thrust quickly maybe 10-15 times and then rest a few seconds deep in her, letting the rumble of TOR really transfer to her. – It didn’t take long for her to come the first time. And still TOR kept my dick big and my orgasm in check.

I’d say Tor kept me going 10-15 minutes longer than without him on, and when I then came it was with a rather explosive load. Still after my orgasm I was erect and could keep going… I had him on no longer than the hour that the ‘book’ in the box told me was safe. We then had a break for a drink followed by some cuddles… – and back to the games. The ‘book’ says TOR will hold for 2 hours, but it’s more like 3 before we saw the red light, indicating he needed recharging.

Now I’m writing this the morning after and TOR has been in the charger the night over… – because I want him ready for tonight! – TOR is definitely a badass little toy; he made me thick, kept me going longer, and it felt awesome on both of us. – So it’s really hard to fault this guy… I realize it’s more a practical ‘function’ of keeping my cock happy and hard for a longer period of time, but the extra tension and pressure TOR exerted on my dick was is a sensual pleasure all of its own. – One I don’t want to be without now that I have him!

Now I’m not just a sex toy reviewer/enjoyer, but I’m also somewhat of a geek. And I love the way LELO made a toy that caters to both the geeky gene in me; one that’s always looking for the next cool toy that’s got some tech in it, – while still having a green perspective towards the environment. – But also to the sex toy love hound in me, that loves it when a company makes a sex toy that works as promised, – without fault. So now I might be geek with a new rechargeable gadget, but I’m also a friend of a God. Tor is definitely going to be a guest in our bed for the foreseeable future, and he’s most welcome.

LELO, who sent me TOR, has the complete Homme range on their site, along with the complete Femme line as well of course. And as one who has several LELO toys now, I can easily attest to the fact that they not only have great customer service, but also make human and environmentally safe product, – that’ll blow your sexual mind!
