What we have here is the Cherry On Top – Drop, one of three such toys. It’s a cockring of sorts. I say that because it encircles your cock and balls, like a cockring ought to. But, because it’s made of this super elastic jelly material, it’s too stretchy to provide any of the constriction a guy expects from a regular cockring.

There is a nubbed barrel-like structure on either end of the ring into which we are supposed to load the cute green and pink bullet vibes. But first we’re supposed to load the bullets with three tiny watch batteries. Here in lies the rub. Despite the fact that the promotional materials on the company’s website say the six batteries (three per bullet) are included in the package. And indeed there are six little indentations in the plastic packaging. My toy arrived with only two of the six batteries. The other four indentations were empty.

No I would have thought that maybe the other batteries got lost, or there was a glitch in the package assembly. But get this, the package itself says that the batteries are NOT included.

So, which is it, Xmybox?

At any rate, I didn’t have the extra batteries to load into the bullets. And I had no inclination to run down to the store to purchase the extra batteries either. I mean, I would have gladly used any of the regular sized batteries we have on hand to operate the bullets, if that’s what was called for. But I wasn’t gonna go traipsing around town looking for these highly specialized batteries.

So, dear readers, I can’t tell you anything more about this toy other than the fact that if I plunked down a whopping 30-bucks for this and the batteries weren’t included, I’d have a fuckin’ fit. I mean, even with the batteries included I’d be hard-pressed to shell out $30 for this novelty item. Don’t bother!

Ken & Denise
Ken: “Denise and I are huge fans of Digital Playground. In fact our all time favorite movie is Pirates.”
Denise: “So imagine our delight when we heard that Digital Playground is now producing a line of sex toys with the Pirates theme.”
Ken: “Think of it as an adult version of the movie themed toys kids get at a fast food outlet.”
Denise: “We scored the Riley’s Pleasure Ring w/ Silver Bullet for review. It’s named after the porn star, Riley Steele, who appears in Pirates 2.”
Ken: “You get this white stretchy cockring that is molded with skulls and a hook to keep with the pirate theme. It’s pretty funny, actually. Anyhow, there’s a barrel shaped thingy on the top of the ring, this is where the silver bullet attaches to the ring in a horizontal fashion.”
Denise: “It is pretty comical, but it works! The bullet has 3 speeds and two pulse settings for variety. It’s amazing what they’re able to do with bullet vibes these days. It used to be, and not so long ago, they were only one speed.”
Ken: “Yeah, it work great as a vibe holder, but not so great as a cockring. I’m used to a much more snug ring. The Riley’s Pleasure Ring is way too stretchy to have any constriction capacity.”
Denise: “The Riley’s Pleasure Ring is made of TPE; Thermoplastic elastomer, sometimes referred to as thermoplastic rubber. Curiously enough the package is more about advertising the movies and the Pirates toy collection than about the materials used in the toy. The package does say that it is phthalate-free. So there’s that. I did look online for more product information, but didn’t find any. The Digital Playground website did say that the toy comes with a complimentary lined satin storage/travel pouch. But ours didn’t. It also says ‘Crystal enhanced handle’. WHAT? I think they need to review their ad copy.”
Ken: “The vibe is activated by a single push button which cycles it through its different settings; pretty straight forward. It takes three watch batteries and they are included in the package. You do not want to put any lube on the vibe before inserting it into the ring, that will make the bullet slip from its holder.”
Denise: “The ring itself is pretty easily cleaned with hot soap and water, but it really can’t be sterilized. The bullet is splash-proof so you can only can wipe it down with a lint-free towel moistened with peroxide, rubbing alcohol or a 10% bleach solution.”
Ken: “I’m gonna come right out and say it. I was expecting a lot more from a Digital Playground product. They make such great movies; clearly a lot of thought and money go into making them. But the Riley’s Pleasure Ring is just kitsch.”
Denise: “I have to agree. The vibrating cockring is a great idea, but this one is sub par, at least the ring part is. It seems like their only thought was to cash in on the Pirates theme; not a lot of thought went into making a quality product, which is really unfortunate.”

Jada
My husband and I were babysitting our 5-year-old niece for a few days a couple weeks ago. She’s at that stage when mimicking adult behavior is so much fun. She loves dress up and playing house, but her favorite thing is having a tea party. She took great pains to put on an elaborate party for me when we stayed with her. Everything had to be just right and it was all in miniature; it was so cute. Her joy was truly contagious.

These few days with my niece rekindled in me a sense of playfulness that carried over to a weekend get away with my man. I decided to save the Night of Romance Kit that I received to review for this special weekend. It’s actually a miniature plastic handbag that contains a Vibrating Couples Ring, a 5oz container of Please Pleasure Cream and a 5oz container of Touch Me Massage Oil.

Funny how a little, and I do mean teeny-tiny, something special like this can make a romantic evening very, very special. The adorable little tote slipped inconspicuously in my overnight case. I didn’t have to fuss with larger containers of lotion or massage oil to prep for the weekend. The miniature containers actually added to the sense of playfulness my husband and I felt as we lounged near the fireplace in our room.

Thinking of a sweet little stocking stuffer for someone special; even if the someone special is yourself? The Night of Romance Kit fits that bill perfectly.

Mick & Chuck
Mick: “The Cockring and Leash Set came to us just in time for Halloween. And we put it to very good use.”
Chuck: “Yeah, but it’s not just a Halloween gimmick now, is it?”
Mick: “Right! You can use the Cockring and Leash Set Set any day of the year — Christmas, New Years Eve, Valentines Day, Arbor Day, the 4th of July, your pervy boyfriend’s birthday, whatever.”
Chuck: “Ok, I see you’ve decided to be a little wacky today.”
Mick: “The Cockring and Leash Set is such a fun and kinky setup; I think a little wacky is in order, don’t you?”
Chuck: “I guess you’re right. So let’s get on with telling our audience what the Cockring and Leash Set is, ok?”
Mick: “Sure! It’s pretty simple actually. There are two parts. First, there’s an adjustable black leather cockring, or strap, if you prefer. There is a D-ring on the strap to which you hook on the fine metal leash. The metal leash has a black leather loop grip.”
Chuck: “The Cockring and Leash Set is a KinkLab product, so you know it’s gonna be good.”
Mick: “Oh yeah! Listen, if you’re interested in buying a kinky product like this, even if you are new to kink; spare yourself the disappointment of buying any of the crap that is floating around out there. We’ve see more than our share of that shit here at the Review Crew. If you want quality, look for a quality brand, like KinkLab.”
Chuck: “Right on! So I was saying that we had a ball with this Cockring and Leash Set for Halloween, right? Well, here’s how it went down. We were invited to a totally tripped out party that we knew would surely turn into an orgy before the night was through.”
Mick: “And we were not disappointed. Chuck dared me to wear the cock strap under this flimsy rawhide loincloth, which was pretty much the totality of my costume.”
Chuck: “The loincloth barely covered his big fat uncut dick and balls. It was so fuckin hot.”
Mick: “Of course wearing a cockring like this made my johnson grow, which make the flimsy loincloth tent out in the most unseemly fashion.”
Chuck: “Mick was the hit of the party, I can tell you. About half way through the evening I hooked the leash on to the cock strap and started to lead Mick around the compound by his dick. This increased the pressure on the strap and increased his erection. We had a ball.”
Mick: “Guys were like diving between my legs to blow me. It was freak city.”
Chuck: “And that’s all we’re gonna say about the Halloween party. You’ll have to imagine the rest.”
Mick: “Looking for a little edgy sex fun, try a Cockring and Leash Set on your man and take the ‘dog’ for a walk.”

Angie
I am so delighted to find a toy that both my husband and I can enjoy while we are enjoying one each other. I think that even though the is a plethora of vibrating toys on the market, few are actually designed to be enjoyed by a couple during intercourse. Dildos, particularly the ones that have the shape of a penis are wonderful for solo play, but they can get in the way, both literally and figuratively, when a couple plays together. This is the case with my husband. He, like most men, is put off by sex toys that have a realistic shape. I suppose I don’t blame him. I’m sure that if the shoe were on the other foot, so to speak, I wouldn’t welcome a sex toy that realistically looks like a woman’s parts in our play together.

At the same time, I need clitoral stimulation if I am going to be orgasmic. This is particularly true during intercourse. So the problem has always been, how do I get the clitoral stimulation I need during intercourse without the use of a traditional clunky, intrusive and noisy vibrator?

Allow me to introduce you to the Erotic Enhancer Bunny. It’s a bunny-shaped cockring that vibrates. How fun and creative!

The Erotic Enhancer Bunny is made of TPR (Thermoplastic Rubber). It’s a phthalate free material that is both soft and stretchy but also durable. I see nothing on the package that says it’s latex free, so those with a latex allergy should beware.

There is a multispeed bullet vibe in the head of the bunny that is powered by 3 mini batteries, you know the flat kind. The manufacturer thoughtfully included the first set in the package. Thank you very much! You adjust the speed and turn the vibe on and off by using the dial on the vibrator. The bullet is easily removed making the bunny-shaped cockring a breeze to clean. More about that in a moment.

I love the fact that the Erotic Enhancer Bunny is waterproof. And that it transforms my husband’s beautiful penis into a rabbit vibe. I couldn’t be happier.

The whole thing is pretty discreet. It measures 1.75 inches across and 3.25 inches tall. My husband says that the ring is mighty snug on him. He found it uncomfortable after 20 minutes. That was long enough for me, but he specifically asked me to tell you that the Erotic Enhancer Bunny is designed for use by a man with a small to medium endowment. Ok, I defer to him on this. I suppose that’s a problem with a one size fits all concept.

For those of you who may be unfamiliar with a cockring, here’s how it works. It stretches to fits snugly around the base of a man’s penis. This allows blood to flow into the penis, but restricts blood flow out. This makes for a thicker, fuller erection and helps delay ejaculation. My husband said that because the ring is thicker than the ones he’s used in the past, it stays in place better, even when using plenty of lube. We have been using a nice water-based lube.

The Erotic Enhancer Bunny cleans up easily with warm, soapy water; wipe it down with a lint-free towel moistened with peroxide, rubbing alcohol or a 10% bleach solution; or sterilize it in boiling water or the dishwasher.

I highly recommend the Erotic Enhancer Bunny. It’s such a simple fix to an age-old problem of insufficient clitoral stimulation during intercourse.

Glenn & Hank
Glenn: “This perky little thing is the C-Sling by Tantus. As you can see from its design, it is not your ordinary cockring.”
Hank: “I had to do a double take on the package. The packaging calls it a C-Sling. What’s up with that? Were they too timid to call it a cock sling? I don’t get it. I mean, it’s not like you’re not gonna find this thing on a rack at the local Walmart. You’ll only find this in an adult store, so why be so coy? C-Sling doesn’t tell me anything.”
Glenn: “Whoa, someone got up on the wrong side of the bed this morning!”
Hank: “I’m just sayin’, ok?”
Glenn: “Now that we have that rant out of the way, let’s take a peek at the C-Sling. It’s more than just a cockring; its teardrop shape works as a ‘taint’ (perineum) stimulator. This is not the first cockring of this design that I’ve seen. But it is the first one that I’ve seen that is made of 100% silicone. So that’s totally cool in my book.”
Hank: “I’ve been wanting to get a silver one, but they are really pricy. They make for some beautiful cock jewelry tough.”
Glenn: “That’s true enough, but I like the comfort the C-Sling. There is a little give with the silicone, not a whole lot, but there is a little. The metal ones have no give at all. And I think the black is pretty hot too. It also comes in red.”
Hank: “Ya got me there. The C-Sling is handsome, no doubt about it. My complaint is that it apparently comes only in this one size. That sucks, because there is no way this thing would fit on my cock and balls. One size fits all is not a good idea for a cockring, IMHO.”
Glenn: “Mr Big Meat over here has a point. The C-Sling fits me fine, but I have an average endowment. The cool thing about this kind of cockring is that you can wear it several different ways. There’s the usual position pointing down and back towards your asshole for the promised taint massage. If you point the tongue upward you get this freaky look of the tongue nestled in your pubes. Turn the ring around point the tongue tip outward and it hits ya right in the nuts. I love this. When I’m fisting my meat the C-Sling pushes up on my balls for this really great sensation. Also, when I wear it this way, it lifts my balls some so that I look like a have bigger package. Very hot!”
Hank: “A couple of weeks ago we were in Palm Springs and Glenn wore the C-Sling, in that way, under his skimpy Speedos. It really made his package pop. All the guys were staring at him.”
Glenn: “I got a kick out of that. Stole some of Hank’s thunder, thank you very much. Oh, and I use a bit of water-based lube on the rim of the C-Sling for easy placement. The lube also prevents chafing if you’re gonna wear if for a while. There’s an illustration on the package that shows you how to insert your balls first, then your limp dick. Don’t try to put this thing on with a boner.”
Hank: “Because this is quality silicone, you can clean it with simple soap and water; wipe it down with a lint-free towel moistened with peroxide, rubbing alcohol or a 10% bleach solution; or sterilize in boiling water or the dishwasher.”
Glenn: “If you like cockrings as much as Hank and I, ya gotta check out the C-Sling. Dudes, don’t be afraid to try something new.”

3 Snap Pyramid Studded Cock Strap —— $7.70

Mick & Chuck
Mick: “We have two great fun toys to tell you about. There’s a Ball Stretcher and a Cock Strap.”
Chuck: “You can use these together or separately. But we want to talk about them one at a time.”
Mick: “First up let’s take a look at this fine Pyramid Studded Cock Strap. It’s the perfect cock and ball accessory and it’s functional too. Cockrings or, in this case, a strap are the first line of defense for erections. I think if more men knew about and used one of these devices there’d be less need for ED meds, like Viagra.”
Chuck: “Mick and I have a big collection of rings and straps between us. We both love the way they strengthen our erections. I’m partial to the strap kind of device, like this Pyramid Studded Cock Strap. It’s easily adjusted for whatever kind of look I’m going for. Say I want a nice hard cock to pound some hot ass. I simply tighten the strap till it’s snug. But if I want to use it as jewelry to dress up my junk like for walkin around a sex club or a play party; well there’s nothing better than a studded cock strap. It beautifully frames your cock and balls. It has three snaps so it adjusts from 1.75 to 3 inches in diameter.”
Mick: “The black leather and studs are hot! Ya know, I’m seeing more and more younger guys using a strap like the Pyramid Studded Cock Strap on their wrist these days. Is it a fashion statement, or is it just that they want to be prepared for the unexpected hookup that could occur at any time?”
Chuck: “Either way, the Pyramid Studded Cock Strap is great. One thing you should know, however, is that ya gotta keep the strap clean if you want it to look its best and last. Wipe it down with a cloth dampened with warm soapy water and let it dry fully. Oil based lubes will take a toll on the leather if not cared for properly.”
Mick: “Good point!
Now let’s move on to the Parachute Ball Stretcher. Chuck has a set of beautiful low hanging balls. I dig this look a lot. I, on the other hand, was not so blessed. But that doesn’t mean I can’t have what I admire. All I have to do is work on it and they will be mine.”
Chuck: “That’s where the Parachute Ball Stretcher comes in. Ya strap the black leather parachute thingy on to your ball sack snug up against your cock. This allows the chains suspended from it to hang free. And this is where things get interesting. With the Parachute Ball Stretcher in place, you can add weights to it; ya know for stretching your nut sack. No weights come with this package, but it’s not too difficult to find even makeshift weights around the house; and then there’s always the hardware store. There’s a O-ring on the end of the chains that make attaching the weights a snap.”
Mick: “If you’ve never tried ball stretching you’re in for a treat. It is very erotic and it actually works to add some length to how your jewels hang. I get off on this thing big time. The leather parachute is comfortable to wear for extended periods of time. My only caution to you is that you start out slow. Don’t go piling on the weights till you know what you’re doing.”
Chuck: “Like I said at the beginning, you can use these two things together, or separately.”
Mick: “Make your cock hard as a rock and/or stretch out your ball sack. Either way you win.”
Chuck: “And you’ll look hot doing either or both.”

Sex Toys & Vibrators

Gina & Kevin
Kevin: “Finally I have something exclusively for me. I’m a big fan of cockrings and this V-Style Cockring and Ball Divider is great. I love the way it looks and feels”
Gina: “Again, I totally agree. He looks so hot in this thing. Sometimes I make him do the housework wearing only it.”
Kevin: “She’s gonna be an amazing dominatrix one of these days.”
Gina: “Thanks honey! We aim to please.”
Kevin: “This is made of soft oiltan leather and the V-style divider firmly separates my balls while providing the pleasurable and erection enhancing effects of a cockring.
I am blessed with a pair of low hangers, so this kind of cockring is fantastic. The simple snap closure design allows me to adjust the tightness of both the ring and ball divider straps. Very cool!.
I got the black leather version, but it also come in red leather. The nickel-free hardware made for sensitive skin, is only available in black. I encourage you to spend the extra couple bucks. The snaps will look nicer and last longer too.
The V-style lifts my “equipment” up and out of the way of my taint and asshole.This clears the path for Gina to terrorize my ass with a butt plug or strap-on on me when she’s blowin’ me. I tell you, there’s nothing finer!
Like I mentioned, the cockring portion does help me maintain my erection allowing me to last longer when we’re fucking.”
Gina: “Did I mention that he looks smokin’ hot in this thing?”
Kevin: “Ok guys, get in on this, because the V-Style Cockring and Ball Divider is the hot set up. You will not be disappointed. It’s both a stylish sexual accessory and a very helpful sex aid. And hey Spartacus Leathers thanks for all the great toys. More please!”

Brad
So I was like totally hot for the Neo Cockring when I saw it in its stylish plexiglas storage case.  At 33 I’m just discovering the joys of wearing a cockring. I was telling some of my gay clients at the gym about getting my first cockring about a month ago.  They looked at me like I had just landed from outer space. OK, so I’m a late bloomer; sue me!

The Neo Cockring is a clear jelly sorta deal.  Although it’s not a jelly, it’s made of a phthalate-free elastomer.  This may not make a difference to you, but it sure does to me.  I don’t do anything that may contain phthalates.  I mean, why would I endanger my health if I don’t have to?

The thing that rocks, or is supposed to, is this cockring has a built-in vibe, and it has this tickler side to it.  And even though the vibe is a tiny thing; it has two activation choices. The first is a side button that remains “on” until depressed, and the second is a pressure sensitive pad behind the ticklers.  So my GF is like waiting for me to warp this thing around my johnson and show her what it’ll do to her clit.  I position the ring around my dick and balls with the vibe on the top of my cock with the tickle head pointing outward.  Are you following this?

I activate the vibe and…well I feel it, but it ain’t rockin my world; as I had hoped.  But ok, maybe the vibe is not for me but my GF.  Ahhh, not so fast!  She says she can feel it too, and she likes the way it turns itself on as it comes in contact with her clit, but there ain’t enough bang for her buck either.

Bummer, cuz this is such a great concept.  You can see the Vibratex people put some thought into this.  I mean, the thing is waterproof and all; comes with batteries as well as a replacement set.  I never saw another vibe like that.  But still the vibe is a little too limp, if ya know what I mean.

Glenn & Hank

Hank:  “This is the fanciest cockring I ever did see!”
Glenn:  “Pretty damned expensive too.”
Hank:  “Yeah, but hardly the most expensive one I own.  That honor goes to my Silver Tongue Cock Ring.”
Glenn:  “Yeah, but that one doesn’t vibrate like BO does.  And the BO is rechargeable; so you can’t beat that!”
Hank:  “LELO calls BO a gentleman’s pleasure object.  I call it a vibrating cockring.  I mean, please!”
Glenn:  “Ya got no class, Hank!  I like the pleasure object concept; it’s so elegant.”
Hank:  “You weren’t thinking about elegant the other day when I had my cock buried up to the hilt in your bung and the BO was shiverin’ your ass lips.”
Glenn:  “True!  I was thinking; ‘Oh sweet mystery of life at last I found you!’”
Hank:  “You are such a freak!”
Glenn:  “Well when it comes to my hole, you know I am.”
Hank:  “Let’s get back to the review, shall we? BO actually has two parts — the ring itself and the vibrating attachment.  The ring is made of a soft, flexible material.  The small print on the LELO site says this material is Thermoplastic elastomers (TPE).  Will this be an issue for someone who has an allergy to rubber or latex-based products?  It beats the hell out of me.
The vibrating attachment is encased in a sturdy plastic material.  Sliding the attachment onto the ring activates the vibe.  There is no on/off switch.”
Glenn:  “I thought that part was odd.  Why there’s no on/off switch is like totally beyond me.  Because it’s not so easy sliding the vibe attachment onto, or off of the ring.  So once ya have the ring on your johnson, it’ll be thrilling the wearer till he takes it off.”
Hank:  “I tried BO first in a little solo JO session.  I was happy to discover that the relatively modestly sized ring stretched to fit my dick.  Then I had Glenn give me some head while I was wearing BO.  That was pretty mind blowing.”
Glenn:  “My husband has got a really big one, ladies and gentleman!  And I have no gag reflex!”
Hank:  “Well, it’s big enough.  At any rate, BO comfortably hugged my boner and delivered some great vibe action that I could feel all the way in my ass.
And guys with a smaller unit can stretch BO over their cock and balls.  You can also position the vibe so that it’s on the top of your dick or behind your balls.  So there’s that!”
Glenn:  “And one day while I was all alone, I slipped BO on my new glass dildo and brought myself to paradise all by myself! BO is that versatile.”
Hank:  “The motor is super quiet, not that you could hear it at all if your partner is a screamer, like Glenn.”
Glenn:  “I prefer to think of myself as expressive during sex; not a screamer.”
Hank:  “Whatever!”
Glenn:  “BO comes with a handy-dandy plastic case that kinda looks like an oversized contact lens case.  BTW, this is how you charge BO.  It’s about as clever as clever gets.”
Hank:  “I found the plastic storage case a bitch to open at first.  But once it was opened and closed a few times it got easier.
Oh, and cleanup is easy.  Detach the vibe unit, wipe that down with a damp towel.  Make sure you don’t get moisture in the recharger hole.  The stretchy ring can be cleaned in soapy water or even in the dishwasher. ”
Glenn:  “BO comes in a nice gift box.  It includes everything — charger and storage unit and manual.”
Hank:  “BO also comes with a 1-year LELO warranty.”
