Teagan Presley: Photo spread and interview with one of Digital Playground's hottest starlets. More»
7-13-2004


One of the many benefits of this gig is that people give me free sex toys. While visiting San Francisco recently, Dr. Sandor Gardos gave me the latest product from his company, MyPleasure.com. Pure Bliss is an "exquisite personal massager from the Sublime Collection," and it comes in a lovely box lined with lavender satin, so you'll be experiencing a bit of bliss before you even start "massaging."

The lavender color scheme is carried over into the actual sex toy itself, which is shaped sort of like The Starship Enterprise. It's an ergonomic design that fits perfectly into the palm of your hand and then just as perfectly up against your privates. This is one "personal massager" that no one's gonna be using on their aching shoulders or sore back.

The center piece slips between your fingers so that the part with the batteries inside rests on top of your hand and the vibrating business end is cupped in your hand. There are little round nubs to enhance the vibrations. Well, you'll get the picture if you look at the picture, eh?

Okay, enough of the mechanics! How does this baby work? Well, as I've stated in the past, I'm not the biggest vibrator fan. Paranoia of becoming addicted to a machine aside, the sexperience is often over way too quickly for me when there are batteries involved. Especially when wielding something industrial like the uber-popular Hitachi Magic Wand.

This is what makes Pure Bliss a good "beginner's vibrator." It has two settings (low and high), but at least they aren't "jolting" and "teeth-rattling." The low is just a few notches above subtle and high is definitely a few short of jackhammer. Plus it won't sound like you're prying up the sidewalk when you use it, cause the noise level is "blissfully" quiet.

My inclination with a sex toy, whether it vibrates, rotates or speaks three languages, is to insert it. And I admit, I made the attempt with Pure Bliss. Unfortunately, the shape is designed pretty specifically for external use. There are no sharp points or angles, so you can't really hurt yourself, but the toy is hard plastic, as opposed to pliable latex, which means there's no molding it into your insides. The plastic IS smooth, though, so using it to stroke yourself feels good, and was necessary for me, cause if I hold anything that vibrates in one spot for too long, I'll climax before I even know what's happening.

I experimented quite a bit with this baby, moving it around, teasing and stimulating random spots, just to see what the vibrations felt like. And they felt great! I hovered with just one little nub on my, um, nub, and alternated that a bit with the "full toy press." Teasing and alternating were key to building up to the eventual crescendo, which lasted a good long, thigh-quivering time. This I attribute to battery-power as opposed to the usual me-power. Orgasms with vibrators are definitely different than those achieved the old-fashioned, low-tech way...for me, anyway!

Pure Bliss is the perfect vibrator for anyone out there who has been reluctant or shy about buying a "personal massager." Its small, non-threatening size and elegant packaging and presentation, coupled with the fact that it thankfully doesn't look like something you'd use to defend The Empire, make it a wonderful first sex toy. And those of you who are sex toy enthusiasts will enjoy this zippy little vibe as an addition to your toy box as well.
