The internet is full of stuff. From houses, from shopping, to hilarious cat photos and insane youtube videos about what hospitals find in butts!!!
You know the story. You’re surfing the internet and clicking link after link and you comes across the headline ‘Insane things found in butts’ and you click on it. Scroll through the photos, laugh, and you move on.
But let’s pause for a moment. These people have inserted objects into their ass, for the most part for what one assumes is some kind of sexual gratification. Discounting the images where the individual was using their ass as a hidey hole. This object has become stuck whereby they have sought medical help much to the internet’s amusement.
It seems hilarious BUT we are forgetting the real issue at hand.
It’s not funny. That this is happening in 2016, is actually kind of sad.
Anal pleasure is still taboo. Dscounting the questionable choices and subsequent idiocy of some of the objects inserted, the fact that they have chosen some kind of household object is indicative of their sense of shame and guilt in terms of not only anal pleasure, but self pleasure as well.
More so when you consider the accessibility of ordering sex toys online, or even traveling to a bricks and mortar sex shop where you can get direct and relevant information to your needs.
Don’t Be Shocked What Hospitals Find In Butts
The issue here is not that something is stuck in their ass, but the guilt and shame that clearly surrounds the act.
Why is this still a thing? Doing research for this article I came across an article concerning a couple in the United States that were trying to become pregnant.
After seeing a fertility counsellor, it was discovered that this couple had thought the act of intercourse was dry humping. Even if you question the legitimacy of that article, it is clear that sexual education in most areas is poor.
Basic Sex Education Is Needed
Deakin University in Melbourne, Australia, has just published an article that indicates children want and need to know more than just the biological and physiological aspects of sex.
Things that they want to know about include such topics as; sexual diversity and gender, break ups, respect, love, sexual pleasure and how to start a relationship. Current school of learning is that sex is for reproduction, penis goes into the vagina ejaculation occurs and if the conditions are right then a baby is formed.
What’s Forgotten?
Pleasure – whether that be solo or mutually with a partner. Parents don’t want to do it because it’s ’embarrassing’. Schools can’t do it because apparently it violates the rights of the parents and raises an abundance of legal issues due to the perception that it sexualises children.
Lets face facts. Children become sexualised far more quickly than we realise and want them to be because we are too busy trying to protect their innocence. We do not want to see our children become sexualised – because that’s our little baby. We remember them when they were born.
Now that they are potentially sexually active we cast them aside in an effort to protect modesty. Or to save embarrassment or whatever reason/ justification that you’ve told yourself in order to convince yourself not to mention it.
But how can we protect them any more?
With pornography easily accessible in an ever increasing tech world, with the sexualisation of images in advertising. And sexual imagery being thrown in our faces every which way, how can we honestly expect to protect the ‘innocence’ of the young when we have long ago thrown away any semblance of ‘innocence’ in an adult world.
Whether you like it or not, it’s becoming the norm and we have to adapt.
Children become more sexually aware far more quickly than we give them credit for. You cannot continually keep two worlds, a children’s world and an adult world because it simply does not work. And when it falls apart you cannot blame ‘the other person’, when that person is collectively, us.
This is partly due to the litigious society we have become. With people so quick to blame others making the accountability and responsibility of teaching sex. A place people don’t want to raise their hands for fear of overstepping that invisible red line.
Surprisingly, I have never had the sex talk.
My parents never sat me down and told me the birds and the bees. We never spoke about sex and aside from the old wives saying ‘if you keep playing with it, it’ll fall off’ when i was small’. There was never any talk about my genitals or the genitals of others. It was completely blank.
Not surprising then that I was unconsciously instilled with the notion that sex is a shameful dirty secret. So I did what every other person did when it came to the sex talk, I bluffed and when you bluff – you make mistakes. I stood there flipping through porn magazines with my mates making ever increasingly outrageous claims to legitimise my sexual prowess and knowledge in front of my friends.
So, when it came time to having sex all I had was the misconceptions based on the knowledge of my friends and my understanding of films and my consumption of porn.
I had determined what pleasured me and my dick
That self-exploratory thing that arguably most boys go through. But that’s all I had. That is all that most people have when it comes to sexual fruition – making for some amusing ‘how i lost my virginity stories on reddit’. But even that can arguably be a slight extension of truth as people attempt to out do each other in different ways.
I can guarantee you that several of those posts would involve an individuals imagination as they clumsily seek new information in regards to sexual behaviour.
Shows such as Sex Sent Me to the ER
Can be entertaining and humorous. But they can also demonstrate how things can quickly go wrong in sexual situations.
I am not suggesting that every child, every adult should be subjected to a mandatory and detailed course on sex and sex education. But certainly an expansion of the current teachings is necessary.
For almost every individual, sex is necessary, it is inescapable, so why do we stick it in a cupboard never to be seen.
It would be inaccurate to say that every person that has had an object stuck up their butt has made a mistake. Some people just make stupid decisions. But just maybe if we gave sex education a chance it could diminish some of the mistakes.
Loki Gives Me Prostate Joy!
There must be something in the air at the moment. Everyone is buying anal toys.
I thought I would take a look at the luxury prostate massager the LELO Loki. I’ve never really understood the whole anal sex thing whilst everyone else, apparently, was climbing it like a tree in ecstasy. I enjoy it, but I’ve always felt that I was missing out on something.
It was just everyone had spoken about prostate stimulation and how amazing it was. I was sitting there thinking – yeah sure, it’s good but it’s not ground-splitting-the-heavens-come-forth-and-take-me. I’ve used several prostate massagers in my search for this mystical orgasm, none of them quite . . . worked. They were good, I loved them they were amazing.
But they weren’t the mystical X I was searching for.
Maybe it didn’t really exist and I’d been lied to all those years. Kind of like when you think that that colour is red to me, but how does someone else see it? I’d always been a big fan of the Fun Factory brand. Semillino and the Booty plug were probably the two most intense stimulating toys I’d used before.
Then I got a Lelo Loki.
So, here is the Loki Wave sex toy review. I was skeptical at first after looking at it and despite it saying how powerful it was, I’d bought other toys expecting a V8 and getting a four cylinder Toyota.
Now, I’d been familiar with Lelo before and I’ve always loved their design. But what they lacked, was power. Which was precisely the reason why I’d steered clear of them. Plus i was never really a fan of their boys range which isn’t to say they weren’t good.
Just that they weren’t good for me. Similar to how some men like hard boys with tats and rap sheets, and I’ve always been partial to the clean cuts. Though, as I age, my tastes change and i could say exactly the same thing about my taste in boys.
That’s the thing about sex toys (and boys) regardless of the brand (or dick size) – sometimes it just isn’t your thing.
A Replacement for Fun Factory Duke – Perhaps?
So when i was looking for a replacement for Fun Factory Duke, the brand new LELO Loki was recommended to me. At first I was skeptical, but i was speaking to the ‘Live Help’ on Adultsmart. They assured me that it was very powerful. And I was excited.
Not as excited as discovering my local park was a gay beat, but pretty damn excited.
Since I didn’t really have a prostate vibrator like this (I had ones that you would pop in and leaver whilst having sex or rocking back and forth on the bed) I thought, what the hell I’ll give it a go.
Lelo Products are Stunning.
They’re beautifully packaged, nicely weighted and they’re just in general an amazing looking product. So when my package arrived, I eagerly tore it open and popped it on charge so it was fully prepared for usage.
- Lelo products always come with a warranty card, a lubricant sample, charger and the manual.
- For the warranty card, just go online and register it to activate your warranties.
- I’ll be honest, i didn’t read the manual. Who does anymore?
- Silicone toy.
- Waterproof and submersible.
- Bunch of variable settings. Which basically means that there’s a bunch of settings.
- Rather than them being preset speeds, you can ramp up or down the vibration power manually.
I’ll also add that it’s not really a beginner toy
Being around 3cm wide or roughly two and a half fingers. It’s also a little deeper than other prostate vibrators being 10cm in length. But the power on this thing is incredible.
I thought the Duke had some power but this thing was like a mini Body Wand vibrating inside me. It was full and plump and powerful and let me tell you, it rocked my world. I’ve only come hands free once in my life before. With this sex toy, it happened again.
Features
- LELO Loki comes in two colours, black or blue.
- Very similar to some of Lelo’s female vibes, the Mona, in particular. It has the same silicone shaft and ABS handle where the controls are but its dimensions are obviously more anally appropriate.
- Like all Lelo products it is 100% body safe.
- Loki has a total insertable length of around 4 1/2″.
- A slightly curved bulb that is just over 4 1/2″ in circumference.
- A neck that is 3″.
- Silicone is matte and exceptionally smooth and seamless. I just cant stop stroking it. I mean I really cant stop touching it….I am beginning to think the Loki should be purchasing ME me for ITS own pleasure!
Shape and Design
Perfect with a curve designed for maximum prostate contact. It is completely rigid so once inserted you could angle the handle for extra pressure. The buttons are well placed and simple to use. There are two buttons to change the intensity and two buttons to move through the six different vibration patterns.
It is gently tapered for easy insertion and it has a slightly flared base so it can’t go in too far. Bulbous bit is not too big, in fact most guys I have met would probably think it was on the small side. But a first time user would probably need plenty of lube and maybe even a practice toy to warm up with.
Considering you are never going to please everyone when it comes to matters of girth and length, I think they have pitched it pretty perfectly.
Wateproof, Cleaning
- LELO Loki also promises it is 100% waterproof up to a meter submerged.
- There is a silicone plug covering the charger hole which makes me slightly nervous. Maybe I have watched too many 70s murder mysteries where someone always gets killed with a hairdryer dropped in the bath.
- Being waterproof makes it super easy to keep clean.
- That is really important with anal toys. Just make sure that silicone plug is in what ever you do so I can sleep easy tonight.
Splash Out On Something Special
If you want to splash out on something special, then all in all Lelo Loki is one of Lelo’s best sex toys. It looks and feels great. Its shape and vibrations are perfectly suited to prostate play and most men who have tried it seem to love it.
At the same time I believe if a woman was to use the prostate massager as a G spot it could definitely work. It does look very masculine and would make a beautiful gift. It comes packaged in a black sophisticated – looking box that shows the toy off nicely.
Inside you find the USB charger( 2 hours play for 1 hour charge), instructions and a registration card ( If you register the toy, you get a years worth of product warranty and Lelo will replace the sex toy for 50% of its value after that) There is a complimentary sachet of their personal lubricant.
I think this is a bit of a cheeky marketing ploy for their lubricant product. Rather than a genuine extra because anal play usually demands a little more lube than is provided here. It does also come with a quality black satin drawer string bag to keep everything safe.
