Nice Nexus

By it's iconic shape everyone can easily see that the Nexus Glide is a p-spot toy, however, Nexus describes it as a 'Male G-spot Massager'. I don't know about you, but find the reference to 'g-spot' as patronizing - as if men don't know they have a prostate. But semantics aside - what about the performance?

The Glide is made of hard plastic with a lightly textured finish - not shiny as in some photos. I'm guessing that earlier versions were smooth and shiny but these turned out to be harder to keep inside. Even with lube, the matte finish has better holding features than a smooth toy would offer, and since the point is to keep the toy in place, this seems like a reasonable modification.

The Glide is definitely for beginners. A lot of thought went into the design. The anus is not round - so neither is the Glide. The leading end is 1-1/8" x 7/8" making initial entry quite easy with just a little lube. In my opinion you will not want to use too much lube with this toy - or you may trouble keeping the modest sized toy in place.

Following the leading edge is a quick dip down to about 3/4". This dip provides an area to pause - if you are very new to anal stimulation. When you're ready the shaft expands again to an oval section of about 1" x 1-1/8" before necking down again to a 1/2" diameter. Just past this smallest area, there are three hard plastic ripples of about 5/8" diameter. The bottom of the Glide does have a round profile. Fully inserted the glide is a little less than 5" long.

The nearly S shaped base serves to prevent the toy from over penetrating and as a way to easily extract the toy when you're done. However the literature makes a fairly big deal of the metal ball that is designed to massage the perineum during play.

The 1/2" diameter metal ball is press fit into the plastic. There is even a tool for removing and cleaning the ball - and it works as designed. The ball is easily removed, cleaned and replaced.

The Glide is not designed for thrusting. The instructions are to insert it, wait 10-15 minutes to acclimate, then start doing pelvic tilts. The instructions then suggest adding penile stimulation - but to stop before ejaculation and allow the Glide to 'prolong and deepen the climax'.

As described already the Glide is a hard matte finish plastic. There is a slight ridge from the molding process - but it's very slight and it is not irritating for me when I use it. The Glide is well made, there is no odor and with minimal care should last as long as you'd like to use it.

I'm pretty new to p-spot play. What I prefer is thrusting with glass wands - so the idea of a static plug-like toy is a completely new concept for me.

The Glide goes in easily as the name suggests and he S shaped bottom is a convenient handle. Unfortunately I did not experience any of the 'prolong and deepened climax' effects that are described in the instructions. In fact I felt almost nothing - maybe my p-spot is just old and worn out.

To see if there was some redeeming value I thought I would wear the Glide as a butt plug and use it to exercise my Kegel's. The problem with this idea is that due to one end of S shape, you can't sit down with it inside. So this could work if your going to be walking about - or have a stand up desk.

Overall the Glide was a big disappointment for me. Reading other reviews for similar toys what I've learned is that you either get it and love it - or you don't. Well I'm sorry to say I don't get it.

If you are a beginner and want to learn about p-spot stimulation the Glide is a good starting point. If it works for you there are larger more advanced options to try. But if you're like me, you may be one-and-done.

The matte finish is not rough enough to affect the ability to thoroughly clean the Glide. I don't imagine this is the kind of toy you share - but if you do - or are just into sterilization, the Glide could easily be sterilized with alcohol or a dilute bleach solution. When you clean it - don't forget to remove the metal ball to make sure no bad guys get left behind.

The Glide comes is a recyclable plastic clam-shell that is easy to open. The attractive graphics do double duty as the instructions. All in all, very well thought out. Although the plastic is recyclable, it could be retained for storage if you like.

When in place the Glide is comfortable to an anal beginner such as myself. I enjoyed doing Kegel exercises with the Glide in place - but no noticeable prostate stimulation. I could feel the metal ball on my perineum - but there wasn't anything particularly erotic or exciting about the sensation. I like perennial massage - but the pressure created by rocking my hips or squeezing my Kegel's couldn't generate enough pressure to be useful.

After a about 10 minutes of pleasant sensations from Kegel exercises but no p-spot stimulation, I gave up on getting any more from the Glide.

I'm going try a few more times to see if I can improve the results - and will add follow up comments after getting more experience with the Glide.
