Pleasure ball by Doc Johnson

When Ruf produced this buzzing two-tone plastic tennis ball from its box, I looked a little askance at him. What on earth is that? But, taking turns to place it on each other's genitalia, we soon found out that there were some extremely pleasant sensations to be experienced with each of the three speed settings.

Some time later, joining our nicely warmed-up organs together found us discovering even more benefits. With me on all fours, the Pleasure Ball clutched to my clit on its maximum vibration and him entering me very slowly from behind, I was soon expressing my satisfaction extremely vocally.

One of the great things about this toy is its multi-functionality, because whilst I was in the throes of an orgasm, he could rest his balls on the shuddering device pinioned between us and enjoy its tingling at the same time as he continued to pump away.

The size of the ball means that it makes the whole area around the clitoris vibrate - not just the button itself. This has advantages and drawbacks. For me, I got excited very quickly but actually getting to orgasm without being able to focus the tingling on one specific area (as I can with a wand stimulator) was more problematic. It was as if I had lots of little climaxes and there was a big one waiting to happen but I just couldn't quite access it. The size of the toy also meant that when Ruf tried to penetrate me from the front, there wasn't a great deal of room for him to gain entry if I wanted to continue to use it on my clit.

I also found that holding the ball there whilst I was on all fours for a fair time was quite uncomfortable because it vibrates very strongly on the fastest setting and that sensation carried all the way up my outstretched arm making it rather difficult to hold on to at times because the whole limb started to go numb. Holding it against Ruf's balls and perineum whilst he was flat on his back caused no such problems and he really enjoyed the sensation.

In retrospect, I think it would be lovely to have the vibrating ball massaged over your back and thighs; that's definitely something for us to try next time.

Pros: Nice vibration level, we both enjoyed using it solo or as a couple’s toy.

Cons: Holding on to it with my arm fully extended for a long period on the highest setting was uncomfortable because the arm went numb, and the size meant that accuracy of placement was difficult.

This is actually great to massage away the discomfort in my lower back caused by over-enthusiastic arching when in doggy. I also enjoy having it rubbed all over my body as a way to de-stress and relax me after a long drive... before applying it to those parts which enjoy being stimulated.
