Getting Off On Gizmos: Top Ten Sex Toys Of 2011

It doesn't matter how old we get, we will always love to play with toys. Even the ones that seem the strangest or the least likely to work with our junk can deliver wonderful sensations and surprises, and this year was chock full of innovative genital gadgetry.

Yes, we've teased, tested, tweaked, and even ingested some unusual products this year, and we did it all for you (translation: this is the best part of working at Fleshbot). If 2011's offering of sex toys is any indication of the future of fuckables, we can't wait to see what 2012 brings. For now, let us reflect. We hope this list inspires you to buy some of your own!

10. OhMiBod's Freestyle W: Let the music carry you away! A rather sophisticated setup turns your favorite beats and basslines into roadside attractions on the way to Orgasmville.

9. The Cyborg model from Fleshlight Freaks: Even if we were initially disgusted by the melting zombie flesh and stitched together pieces of Franken-vagina, we have to give Fleshlight some serious props for going the distance with this idea. The Cyborg model was arguably the least revolting to look at and easily the most pleasurable to use, and if you're looking for a masturbation sleeve, this is one you should consider plugging in to.

8. KinkLab's Neon Wand: What can we say about an elegant little skin zapper that looks like it was designed by Dale Chihuly? We could say a lot, frankly, but we think you'll learn much more about the Neon Wand by watching Ryan Keely giggle and squeal as she uses it on herself.

7. SINsual Shot: Although this isn't a sex toy in the usual sense of the term, the SINsual Shot certainly adds some interesting energies to one's sexual encounters. Whether you're new to herbal aphrodisiacs or you've been popping horny goat weed religiously for years, this little shot can deliver some extra heat to your loins. (On a personal note, I've been trying to find more of these for months. Can somebody hook a Fleshbot editor up with some drugs?)

6. The iRide: Our editrix first thought this saddle with a vibrator was a little obvious, a little cumbersome, and rather silly looking, but one trial run changed her mind about the whole thing. It gives you more contact where you want it and it lets your hips and thighs do most of the work!

5. Stockroom's VibeRite Vibrator: Everybody is familiar with the magic stored inside the Hitachi Magic Wand, right? Well, Stockroom made their own version, and it quickly became Ryan Keely's new favorite sex toy. Incidentally, the video we have of Ryan testing the VibeRite is our new favorite sex toy video.

4. Door Jam Sex Sling: Opening a vast world of new heights, angles and sensations — ideal for those who can't commit to a ceiling-mounted sex swing but want the acrobatic-style thrill.

3. Tiani: The wireless remote controller is pretty revolutionary. What appears to be simple sleight of hand orchestrates an endless variety of vibrating goodness.

2. Tenga Flip Hole: Leave it to Japan to flip the script on masturbation sleeves. The Tenga Flip Hole is easily the most fun I've ever had with a personal sex toy, it's easy to clean, and it's a gorgeous looking piece of equipment. There's a reason why I called it tiramisu for your penis and it's only partially because I love tiramisu.

1. Minna Ola: This toy deserves the number one spot for a number of reasons. For one, it's easily the most clever and unique thing we've ever come across; it's a toy that adjusts vibration intensity according to how you squeeze a soft pad on one end. It's great for couples, it's great for singles, and we're deeply impressed with Minna for making Ola come to life.
