Smooth Operator, All The Way

I think I like it better than glass. Either way, a wood toy is very much worth investing in. If not this one, some other specimen of pure genius.

extremely useful review
This is the first sex toy I’ve actually wanted to hold in my hand to penetrate someone else with, the first that actually works as a beating implement (though I jokingly threaten that with any number of other items), and one of the very few that’s big enough to satisfy me when I want to feel like I’m being fisted but am all alone (and that self-fisting thing just doesn’t work for me). Basically, I love this beautiful, simple piece of wood.

Wood is as hard as glass or metal, but lighter, which to me means easier to hold on to and maneuver. It maintains a more neutral temperature, which isn’t great for temp. play, but quite nice for those of us who don’t want to spend the time warming up toys to avoid the first cold shock. In fact, the lube temp. was more noticeable than the toy itself. I only use lube if I’m going to jump in with the big end, or for someone else who’s less naturally well-lubed than I.

I was curious about the coating on these wood sculptures, so I did a quick investigation on the Nobessence site. They use a trademarked Lubrosity coating, which makes each piece waterproof and fully bio-compatible (i.e., safe for anything you want to stick it into). It can be wiped with alcohol to clean, bleach solution to sterilize, and probably boiled/dishwashed as well. My preferred sterilization method is boiling, so I’m going to email the company and inquire about this specifically. In addition, all lubes are compatible with this material, though I’d recommend avoiding oil-based ones for vaginal use or if you’re using a condom for safer sex. (Also, any company that has a Marquis de Sade quote on their site gets a thumbs-up from me.)

The smaller end of the Smooth S is ideal for G-spot stimulation; so much so that I was squirting within minutes, and that’s not something I can usually elicit on my own. The larger end feels larger than it looks, to me at least. I have an odd tendency to expect toys made from more ‘exotic’ materials to be larger than they are, so when I initially opened the box (and oh, the box! More on that in a minute) I was somewhat let down by the actual item. However, once in, the larger end is more than enough. I actually prefer to insert and rock a bit or just hold it still, rather than try to thrust with it; that can easily get painful. My goal wasn’t to find something to rival a fist, but I managed to anyway. Yes, the 1 7/8” diameter is significantly smaller than even a small fist, but the combination of that larger width, total lack of give, and gentle curve somehow create a similarly intense sensation. It'd be safe for anal play, though I haven't tried that. The curve is sharp enough to prevent accidental slipping in, not to mention that very thick end.

Packaging matches the class and simplicity of the item itself. The S-shape comes in a gorgeous box (in another life, I’ll be a box designer) that slides open to display the wood toy held in place by two elastic straps. I store it in its box next to my bed when not using, and plan on doing so indefinitely.

More on the company: most of their wood comes from a personally managed sustainable forest in Costa Rica, and what wood they do purchase is done so with responsible suppliers. They do accept custom orders, and offer a registration/extended warranty option in case you drop and damage your wood. Email for information, I couldn't find details on the site. 
Experience
As mentioned, this is the toy that prompted me to try hand-held-toy fucking for the first time, believe it or not. Cocks just aren’t fun for me to use unless they’re attached, and my hands work very well…regardless, one night I pulled this out and fucked my partner with both ends of it. The larger end was a bit much for him, but he did his best to take it as long as I wanted to give it like a good boy. There was blood involved in that encounter, which looked fucking beautiful coating the medium wood tone. He later said that the wood kind of blended with my hand and body, looking like a natural extension. I couldn’t have asked for a better reaction.

I also tried hitting him with it, earlier that evening, and it works well for that purpose too. The smaller end makes for a good concentrated impact point. The light weight/hard material mean it’s easy to hold and swing, while still having quite an effect on the recipient.
