Sexuality Happens

Last month, Babeland was kind enough to send me a bird…no, a plane…no, a whole new and different style of vibrator – something that I (gasp!) had never seen before.

What little shiny baubble showed up in my mailbox?

Why, the SaSi vibrator, of course!

Now, I’m gonna be honest. The first thing I noticed was the color. The SaSi is available in three colors; black, purple and pink. For some reason, despite the color selection, and my well-publicized dislike for the color pink, I was send a pink SaSi. I know I shouldn’t be upset, but really, it’s VERY pink.  Two different shades of pink, to be exact.

However, I got past it.  The next thing I noticed was the well designed box/stand/holder that all fits back into itself.  Brilliant. Also, it comes with a nice (and black!) carrying bag.  As someone who takes her sex toys on field trips quite often, that was very nice to have. Also, it has converters for a whole slew of different electrical outlets and currents, so that unlike certain other plug in and/or rechargeable toys, the SaSi is quite easy to operate, regardless of where you live or where you’re traveling.

It’s easy to charge – it only took me a few seconds to hook it up, and I’m notoriously tech non-savvy.  It’s definitely a different kind of vibe. It has a “nodule” of sorts that pokes onto a silicone cover, and moves around, as compared to being stationary (like the Nea), or insertable (like the Gigi), or just ridiculously awesome (like the Hitachi). It’s supposed to learn what you like, and then create a custom program just for YOU!

First thing I noticed was that this baby gets hot, and fast.  While I’m incredibly quick at getting off with a partner (rephrase; so far, with J, K, F, S and Q), when I’m by myself, it takes a hell of a lot more time. Hitachis definitely get hot after 30 or 45 minutes of uninterrupted use, but the SaSi started getting hot after only 12 or 15 minutes. For those of us into marathon masturbation, that might not work out so well.

Q was nice enough to help me test this.  Let me set the scene; I’d already fucked her once at her place, and she drove me back to mine to drop of the rope, zip ties, snap hooks and plants I’d bought at Home Depot. And I started teasing her again.  She didn’t have too much time, but wanted me to fuck her again, and who am I to say no to such a hot woman? So she’s in my bed, still wearing her 100% Guapo shirt (and two sports bras), and nothing on below her waist. I have one hand inside of her, the other holding the SaSi on her clit. And she’s holding the instruction manual, frantically flipping through it, trying to figure out why it’s not working. 50′s household re-visited; the butch working the instruction manual, telling the femme how to operate this new piece of machinery.

We did make it work. However, she was pretty underwhelmed…and once I tried it on my own, I was too.  The vibrations were ok, but the weird “nodule” thing (it looked a nipple under a silicone sheet…that moved) was less than stellar. It fact, neither of us could really feel it.  And I still have yet to figure out how to program it (despite reading the manual).  The favorites are nice…but I didn’t find it that much different than any of the other re-chargeable vibes I own, including the whole Lelo family.

It works, yes. It’s re-chargeable, yes. It comes in black, which is a big bonus. But given the whole hulabaloo about this vibe, I have to say that I found it pretty uninspiring.  Two stars.
