Zippy little serum

The JO 9v volt Arousal Serum is part of their new line of 3 arousal serums that come in different intensities. As the middle of the road option, this gel will give you a pretty good idea of what is available in the line. My experience was positive, although I ultimately won't likely find myself reaching for this product very often. It does neat things, but I question how often I'll really want, or need, the help.

Use

This clitoral gel is designed to stimulate, arouse, and excite the genital area, and to produce pleasurable sensations for women. It can be used as part of foreplay, during sex, or during solo play. However, unless you want it in your mouth, I would not combine it with cunnilingus. A tingly mouth isn't too sexy. I also think that this would be a great element of a sensual massage. It would do a great job of heightening and building the anticipation.

JO 9volt contains a variety of natural ingredients. However, there is certainly a chance of allergic reaction in some people. Be sure to look at the ingredient list carefully if you have known food, or herbal allergies.
    • Foreplay
    • Massage
    • Masturbation

Texture / Consistency / Thickness / Viscosity

The 9v volt is thin and oily, which makes sense because it is primarily made with various essential oils. It comes out of the dropper bottle at a modest rate, and it's easy to apply. The formula sinks into the skin in a pleasant manner. You use so little of it that it stays in place well. I didn't experience the product migrating at any time when I tested it.
    • Oily
    • Slick
    • Thin

Taste / Aroma

I did not taste this product since I did not want to experience the tingly/burning sensation in my mouth! However, it has a pleasant herbal smell. Some of the ingredients are basil oils, and that scent came through in a very clear and distinct way. It is not really sexy smelling, but it's not at all offensive. It's just a light herbal/medicinal scent.
    • Light smell
    • Smells good

Performance

I tested this product several times during masturbation, foreplay, intercourse, and once just to get a feel for the entire arc of the product without any other intentional stimulation brought into it. Any activities that were more vigorous caused the product to move around a bit, but it never migrated far from the area that was initially targeted. The effects kicked in within a few minutes, and lasted for 10-15 minutes easily. If used in conjunction with other activities, there is more than enough time to get other things started so that you probably don't even notice when it wears off. I did not have to wash it off, as each time I used it I was able to "wait out" the effects. I liked that it was pretty subtle and seemed to really encourage arousal in the form of throbbing sensations. It wasn't just burns and tingles, but feelings that felt somehow deeper than sensations produced by similar products that I have tried.
    • Absorbs into skin nicely
    • Long lasting

Packaging

The packaging is tasteful and protects the product well. However, like may sex products packaging, it is wasteful and features a sleeve over a box. The actual serum is housed in a 5 mL dropper bottle, similar to ones that eye drops are sold in. It allows you to squeeze out a small and appropriate amount without waste or accidentally spilling it.
    • Does not leak
    • Easy to use / dispense
    • Recyclable

Experience

Whenever I use products like this, I wonder about the role of the placebo effect. There are certainly real chemical effects of this product. However, sometimes I think that the increased mental focus on one area of the body also leads to increased arousal. Is my clit throbbing because of the gel, or because I'm focusing on it so intently? That might be a philosophical question, but it does make me question how necessary such products are. Nonetheless, JO 9v volt was of high quality, and it functioned as promised. If you enjoy chemical play or experimenting with arousal potions, you will certainly enjoy it.
Follow-up commentary
I've used this a few more times and it is starting to grow on me. The product is still not a miracle and your mileage may vary but I am enjoying it more than I previously did.

    Thanks for sharing. I love the herbal scent! I had a clitoral gel that smelled like that, but it did not do so well on my downstairs! Lol. I just adore the herbal/medicinal scent though. Almost enough to buy a lube and rub it on myself. Lol. Only kidding.
