The We-Vibe II: It’s For Him! It’s For Her! (Well, It’s Mainly For Her…)

It's pretty rare to hear about a sex toy that's actually used during sex, but, hey, meet the We-Vibe II. Placed in the vagina during intercourse, it's made to stimulate all those great ladyparts and some dude parts, too.

The toy is a sort of modified horseshoe-shaped vibe that's inserted with one half inside the vagina stimulating the g-spot (and any penis that happens to cohabitate said vagina) and the other half against the clit outside.

It's rechargeable, with a neat little prong that discreetly slides into port at one end, totally indiscernible when not plugged in. Controlled with a similarly discreet push button at the other end, there are different vibration intensities and modes that can be scrolled through.

As for the performance — I, of course, suffer from the curse of the hidden g-spot, so internally I gotta say this wasn't doing too much for me. But it was quite nice to have a clitoral stimulator in place during all types of bedroom friskiness without the trouble and slight arm fatigue of holding and maneuvering a vibe up there.

However, over on the giving end of things, in most positions the g-spot vibrator rubs along the top of the penis - a basically pointless sensation, according to my boyfriend. A quick switch to doggie-style allowed for some of that sweet head/underside action... but it still just felt like something was in the way, said the boy.

Eventually we just called the whole thing off (ie took it out and went au naturel), and I ended up using it as a pleasingly powerful external vibe. With some extra finagling and a bit more patience, the We-Vibe II seems like a great contender for a permanent invitation to bed. And even if it takes some getting used to for the guys out there, an occasional foray into the land of mechanically enhanced lady-satisfaction isn't too big a price to pay for some good lovin', as far as I can tell.
