Twisted pleasure - dildo by SSA Glass - review by Maiden

Twisted Pleasure is a beautiful glass dildo that is ribbed for your pleasure! The ribs are very nice and remind me of those glass citrus juicers. The texture feels great while thrusting and even better while twisting or rotating inside the vagina.

That said, I would recommend you go very slowly with this until you find how comfortable it is for you. Glass is very rigid and unyielding, so thrusting too hard could bruise the cervix and the ribbing may cause irritation for some. I prefer to take my time with this dildo, allowing myself to really feel the sensations and build up slowly to orgasm. It also feels great to have this hard toy inside you while you orgasm from clitoral stimulation. I generally end my solo sessions this way, closing my thighs to hold the toy in, feeling the nice weight of it, while stimulating my clit to orgasm. My vag muscles clench around this rigid toy and it seems like I can feel every rib. The same can be said for using this vaginally while my man fucks me anally. Again, you have to take it slow and gentle, but it feels great. The sensations are incredible, and so much more than I ever expected!

While there is a small base that makes it safer to use anally, I am a bit scared to use it this way. The ribs seem like they would be too intense for me, but others may find it enjoyable. I would recommend going slowly, for the same reasons I gave above, keeping in mind the rigidity, weight, and texture of this toy.

Other than using this vaginally, my man likes me to use this orally. He loves the beautiful design. It is much more pleasurable in my mouth than my other toys, not to mention sexier. He likes to watch me lick and swirl my tongue around it and suck on the head of it. He also likes to see how far I can get this in my throat. I have a bit of an oral fixation and love the way the glass feels in my mouth and on my tongue. The smoothness of the tip and the textures along the shaft are amazing and glass has no taste or smell. Because the glass is not porous and so smooth, I don't have to worry about germs or getting lint or hair in my mouth. I am very experienced using toys orally, but beginners could get seriously hurt, especially if you are letting your partner stick this in your mouth. As I explained about vaginal thrusting with this toy, glass is very hard and unyielding. You could very easily bruise your throat, chip or break a tooth, or some other horrific thing, so please be very cautious if you decide to use the dildo in this way.

As far as G spot or P spot stimulation with this dildo, I am sure it is possible if you can get the right angle, but it seems like it would be difficult as there is no curve to this toy at all. The head of it is big enough to hit my g-spot, but the awkward angle I need to reach it is next to impossible on my own. I was able to hit my g spot by getting on my hands and knees and coming at it from a "doggy style" position, but it was difficult for me. My man was able to hit my g spot a lot easier with this toy, as he could get the proper angle. Once he found it, the firmness of the toy was really able to get me squirting! Still, it is much easier with a curved toy like the Bent Graduate. So while glass toys are great for stimulating the g-spot, if you are looking for something g-spot specific, you may find the curved ones are better for this.

The Twisted Pleasure is made of clear Pyrex glass. As stated before, it has no taste or smell. It feels cool to the touch initially, which I like, or you can warm it up rather quickly if you prefer. This material is great for holding in temperature, so experiment with warm and cool sensations! It's really simple to do. Just hold it under warm or cold water for a few minutes. I would NOT recommend extreme temperature changes such as putting it in the freezer or the microwave, as this would not only hurt your skin, but could cause the toy to break or crack. Other properties of glass that one may or may not like are the weight and rigidity. I happen to love these traits, but beginners may find it too much for them. Beginners may also find the texture too extreme.

I love the beauty and the design of this glass dildo. It doesn't have all the crazy colors that other glass toys have, but I prefer it this way. The shape is phallic in nature, having a long slender shaft and a bulbous head, but it is not designed to look like a penis. This toy is a smidge over 6 1/2 inches in total length, with a little under 1/2 inch being the base. The circumference of the shaft is about 3 1/2 inches with a diameter of about 1 1/4 inches. The head measures a circumference of 4 1/4 inches at the thickest point with a diameter of almost 1 1/2 inches. The product page just lists a circumference of 4 inches and a diameter of 1 1/4 inches, so I thought I should let you know that is a bit smaller than that on the shaft and a bit bigger than that on the head. Honestly, I don't know if you can feel much difference, but this being such a rigid toy I thought it noteworthy. Those comfortable with a "squishier" silicone toy of the same size might feel that there is a great difference, especially if planning to use this anally.

As far as discretion and traveling, this is a phallic shaped toy, but it is really beautiful glass. I would say it would be easy to hide and small enough for travel, just be sure to pack it carefully. It comes with a very nice drawstring pouch that is soft black suede-like material, with a shiny dark pink sateen lining, that you could hide it in. (I saw this color described as magenta in another review, which I suppose it is; though, when I read magenta, I didn't quite know what that meant!) It came in the mail in this pouch, the only other packaging being a clear plastic bag to keep the pouch from getting dirty or picking up lint. I appreciate this minimal packaging, but was worried I would open it up to find it cracked or broken. To my relief it was in perfect condition.

The Twisted Pleasure exceeded my expectations. I have glass toys that cost a lot of money, but they were mostly smooth, with maybe a nub or two. I didn't use them much because of the small size. They were pretty to look at, but I preferred my other toys better. I finally gave in and got the Bent Graduate for g-spot stimulation and was blown away, so thought I would give this one a try as well. The dimensions for this were slightly larger than the other glass toys I owned and I thought the textures looked interesting. I was pleasantly surprised at the versatility and the incredible sensations that I got with it. I fear I am becoming addicted to glass toys! I know I certainly want to try more now, and have tons on my wish list so far!

Cleaning glass is very simple. It is not porous, so it can be sanitized with antibacterial soap and warm water, a diluted bleach solution, or any toy cleaners. The glass is smooth as silk and doesn't really pick up lint or anything that I have noticed. I usually wash it, dry it with a towel, and put it right back in it's bag. I place it in my bedside drawer to keep it close at hand. The smooth texture also allows me to use this without lube, but if you need it any type will work fine.
