Marital Aid Test Kitchen: Je Joue’s G-Ki

From the people who brought you the SaSi comes the G-Ki, a vibrator that hopes to do for the g-spot what the SaSi did for the clitoris.

Let's get one thing out of the way right off the bat: the G-Ki is not a SaSi that's been modified to stimulate the inner bits. While the SaSi is a programmable toy with a unique mode of stimulation, the G-Ki is a much more traditional sort of sex toy, one that vibrates to get you off, and comes with a preset number of stimulation modes. Which is not to say that it isn't innovative—but we'll get to that in a second.

The G-Ki is a long, slender vibrator; one with a shape not unlike LELO's Ella. Along the handle are two silver buttons: press the + button for two seconds to turn the G-Ki on and browse through the vibration levels and pulse patterns, the - button reduces the vibration level and turns the toy off.

This is all pretty standard practice of course. And the G-Ki seems like a pretty standard vibrator—until, that is, you discover the buttons on its neck.

Along the side of the vibrator are two raised, bumpy buttons (one just above the controls, and one located up on the head of the toy). Press them down simultaneously, and you're now able to alter the curve of the toy, making it (almost) ramrod straight or doubled over like Gonzo's nose, whatever your preference. It seems simple, but as a woman who's spent many a frustrating night trying to get off with a toy that was just a wee bit too straight, I can tell you that this is a pretty awesome innovation.

Also cool: the G-Ki's charger doesn't plug in to the toy—it's got little magnets that attach to the toys buttons (at least that's what I assume is happening, I'm a little vague on this area).

Kind of annoying: try as I might, I just can't get into the two button set up on a toy—especially one with ten different stimulation patterns. Is it really fair to make me click a button 9 times to get to the last pulse setting—and then nine more times if I want to go back to the lowest vibration?

That annoyance aside, the G-Ki is a solid toy that certainly helped me find (or at least pleasure) my own spot. Though it's not as groundbreaking as the SaSi, it's still a very worthwhile g-spot stimulator. In fact, you might even say it's the "key" to your "G"...but that would be a really terrible pun.
