 Almost out of the blue, my friends at Eden Fantasys sent me an e-mail asking if I’d like to try out one of their newer toys, the G-Ki. After reading a short description, I was intrigued and quickly agreed to investigate this G-spot toy for my readers. ^_~ It arrived in a non-descript cardboard box (which is pretty much de rigeur these days) just days later and I wasted no time unwrapping it.
G-ki comes in a very nice black storage box, tied with a black ribbon. Inside, the bed for the vibe can be removed to reveal the instructions and charger. I am a huge fan of rechargeable toys (esp when they arrive pre-charged) and I thought it was SO cool that G-ki doesn’t even have a plug to insert; you just plug the charger into the wall socket and rest the vibe on the charging dock – it charges through it’s buttons! Since it has no hole for a plug, it’s also nicely waterproof which means you don’t have to worry about getting it too wet when you’re cleaning it (or using it).
The other neat thing about this vibe is that it’s adjustable – there’s one pressure point that you push to adjust the angle of the “head” and another to adjust the angle of the neck so that you can set it up just right for you. The toy is covered (except for the buttons) with body safe soft silicone too, so it has a nice, silky texture. But enough about its stats, let’s get on with the review!
What I liked: To begin with, I though that the vibe, overall, was a really good size. It was perfect for insertion, with its slightly bulbous head and thinner shaft. The buttons were easy to access and use to adjust the speed (5 speeds + 5 pulse settings = hawt!). I found that this toy was also relatively quiet, despite being excellently powerful. I liked that, while it did vibrate all along the whole vibe, the vibrations weren’t too intense inside me (which is good), and were nicely intense on the outside, where the body of the vibe was pressed against my clit. I think the charger is cool too and I liked being able to “customize” the toy a little, by bending it to my will suit my needs.
What I didn’t like: My only complaint is that I had some trouble trying to adjust the toy once it got slick with lubey stuff, so you’ll want to keep something handy to dry it off if you want to adjust it in the middle of playing with it.
This Toy Would be Great for: anyone who has found that the g-spot/insertion vibes they’ve been trying just aren’t cutting it – it’s really nice when you can adjust a toy to fit better with you body, since all of us are built just a little differently from one another. ^_^
G-ki earned itself a 9 out of 10:
Welcome to the first CBW of this year’s annual celebration of Squishy and Pink Month!!
Perhaps some of you have forgotten – or if you’re new around here, weren’t aware – that CBW doesn’t just stand for COCK Blogging Wednesday, it also stands for CUNT Blogging Wednesday!
Something we here at The S Spot were very proud to introduce.
Some women don’t take many opportunities to have a look at their own vag, let alone someone else’s, so I’d like to encourage all my female readers to click through my archives and see the variety out there.
Then grab a mirror and check out your own pretty pussy
If you’re feeling especially bold, consider taking a pic and sending it in to become part of our V Month celebration here!
Our first contributor this month is Emma (remember to click-through):
 “Thought I’d contribute to the CBW with an after play shot. Hope you all enjoy. ; )”
 Being a toy reviewer means that I get a bunch of toy-related e-mails sent to me on a weekly basis.
Often those e-mails include some pretty sexy deals that I’d like to pass on to you to help with your V-Day shopping!
So here are some of the deals I’ve spotted lately:
From Today until Thursday Babeland is running a Groundhog Day promotion – if you spot and click on a groundhog as you browse their site you could win a discount or even a free toy!
Babeland also is continuing their RedHot promo code thing AND is offering free delivery and guaranteed delivery by V-day (only until the 5th).
Fleshlight is currently offering 10% off their build your own fleshlight system – pretty neat!

and JT’s Stockroom has a bunch of V-Day discounts too.
Happy Shopping lovers!
“Dear Shay, I love your blog, and I really like the fact that you always offer non-intimidating and very sensible advice. I’ve finally plucked up the courage to ask you a question, which I hope no one else has asked so far.
I’m the sort of girl who tends to get nervous/anxious when I’m in bed with someone, and as a result, I’m usually quite dry. Most guys notice, of course, and usually use their fingers to try and get me going, which just doesn’t work for me, so I get even more nervous – it’s a vicious cycle, really.
I’ve thought about using lube (inspired by your review of the O’My Blueberry Cheesecake lube!), but I can’t think of a way to introduce it without making the boy worried that he’s not doing enough to turn me on, or that I’m not attracted to him. Is there a subtle way of doing it?
Also, I read somewhere that putting a few drops of lube inside a condom can make a lot of difference – in a very good way – for guys, but I was wondering whether that might increase the chances of the condom slipping off?“
I don’t think you should worry too much about suggesting lube in the bedroom – a lot of guys won’t think twice about it, PLUS once they realize how nice it feels using lube (even when you are secreting enough juices for sex), they shouldn’t mind one bit.
If you do pick up a delicious smelling lube, you could bring it up by saying something like “oh, let’s try using this – it smells great!”
Introduce the lube as something fun to try – not something you feel like you HAVE to add to the play.
One thing I like to do is just squirt a few drops onto his penis before we start having sex, to make sure that it’s well lubricated. It’s subtle, it’s sexy, and since you’re touching his penis, he likely won’t mind. *
Another thing you could try is incorporating the lube into the foreplay – put some on your hands before you touch his penis, that way you can lube it up in advance, and ask him to try putting some on his hands before he touches your vagina.
Also, yes a couple drops of extra lube on the inside of the condom is supposed to be fun for guys too (especially if it’s a tingly kind), but no it shouldn’t make the condom slide off more easily (unless you’re really drowning him in lube! haha). The condom should fit pretty snugly to begin with, so a few drops of lube shouldn’t affect how well it stays on too much.
I hope this helps! Being dry makes sex a whole lot less fun, and so does being nervous about it. Try to take things really slow if you can: watch some porn together, spend some time fooling around with clothes on, etc – to give your body the best possible chance to prepare itself (i.e. by getting wet) for sex.
[* It's not that men are stupid, it's just that they DO enjoy having their penis touched ^_~]
** Welcome to The S Spot’s Month-Long Celebration of Vaginae, Pussies, Cunts, Honey Pots, (etc)!!
All through the month of Feb we will be featuring answers to questions about vags, CBWs featuring cunts, and who knows what else!
So send in your questions, ideas, and PICS and you may see them up on the site this month!

 So Australia is banning porn of women with small breasts because they might be confused with children.
Interesting
And also porn of women ejaculating because it’s illegal to depict urination and it’s just plain obscene.
Also Interesting
I have more to say on this, but no time at the moment, so consider this a bit of a bookmark to remind us all to talk more about this later.
Check out the news story!!
Hey!
I did NOT forget about putting up a CBW for today
^_^
In fact, today’s also comes with a question:
 “Hi Shay, I thought I would send this along to you for cockblogging wednesday. And I have a question you might pose to your readers.
As you can see in the picture, I am quite hairy. In fact, there are few parts of my body where there is no hair at all, including my back. From what I’ve heard many women say, generally, this is a dealbreaker. So could you perhaps offer some comments on this, or even pose it to your female readers.
Thanks for your time, and as always, you’re doing a great job. Keep it up. I know I will. :) T.O.Y.“
I know, personally, I’m a fan of body hair – I like my men with a nice patch of fur on their chest.
But what about YOU?
What do YOU think?
~*~
(ALSO – Don’t forget that I need pic of your lady bits of Feb’s celebration of all things vaginal!)
 I was a little confused at first when I started writing this review, because the toy’s name on its box is “Sophia’s Fluttering Hummer”, but it’s listed on Babeland’s site as the Blue Bird Bullet. So, for simplicity’s sake, let’s just call it the Bird Bullet, okay?
Both of the Bird Bullet’s names fit – it is a bullet designed with squishy Thermoplastic Elastomer to look like a blue bird – in fact, a blue HUMMing bird. ^_~ My first thought was that the bird’s little beak would make a great clit stim, so I popped a couple of AA’s into the hand controller and got ready to try it out. The control system is pretty simple, it’s just a dial on a remote that you turn with your thumb, and the whole thing is wired to the bird.
What I liked: The first thing I was impressed with was how quiet this toy was, even on the highest setting I doubt you would hear me using it, unless you were in the same room as me. The controls were also really easy to use, pretty much unconsciously you can adjust the dial to find the intensity that you like best. Which brings me to the other thing that blew me away about this toy – how powerful it was. I kept thinking that the dial was going to stop turning, but my little bird kept vibrating harder and harder and harder!
What I didn’t like: I think my one disappointment was that the bird’s beak really didn’t vibrate, but as I moved the bird’s body lower I quickly forgot about that issue. (The beak redeemed itself later when I realized that it works for a little “just-the-tip” penetration while you use the bullet.)
This toy would be great for: someone looking for their first vibe, or if you need a stand-by for when you don’t feel like using something bigger.
I was impressed by this Blue Bird Bullet, it fluttered its way into a top stop in my drawer and to a 9 out of 10:
 I was doing a little research for a paper and I randomly came across this neat study Dr. Erik Erikson did in 1970.
He had a room full of toys and blocks and stuff and had kids come in to set up scenes with the toys to see if there would be any difference between the configurations that the boys and girls set up.
What’s crazy is that not only was there a difference, but the difference reminded him of something….
For instance, Boys tended to set up one of two types of structures: either a tall tower/building or a scene of the ruins of a tower/building. One boy built a super tall tower, but decided to take it down to build a shorter but more sturdy tower, while one boy built a tall and precarious tower on purpose because, he said, the fact that it could fall down any moment was exciting. Also, the smallest boy was the one who built the tallest tower (overcompensating much?).
The girls rarely built any towers, instead they set up circles of toys sitting together inside a house with low walls. A lot of the scenes the girls set up were very serene, but in a number of cases the scenes would include some kind of disturbance – an intruder. Usually the intruder (even if it was an animal) was identified as being male, while the characters reacting were usually female (e.g. the teacher doll jumping on top of the piano when the tiger doll comes into the classroom). What’s also interesting, is that the girls didn’t build high walls to defend against the intruders, the majority of the scenes instead seemed like they were meant to be funny or full of pleasurable excitement.
Another difference was that while the boys spent time decorating their towers, the girls spent time decorating the gates of their enclosed scenes.
Erikson commented on how crazy it is that the spatial play of these kids seemed to be reminiscent of genital models – I’m sure you didn’t miss that tall towers are like erect penises and enclosed circles with a single entrance are like vaginas.
Erikson wondered if perhaps genital modes may be dominating the spatial organization of kids at this age; this difference may reflect a difference in the sense of space we experience in the world – the layout of our bodies is the significant difference between the sexes, and this seems to affect our experience both biologically and socially as we grow up.
So what do you think? Is it possible that the kids are unconsciously setting up scenes that reflect their genital modes (esp since they are at an age where they were approaching puberty) or are we pervy adults just reading too much into different scene building trends between girls and boys?

Our friend Jame here was kind enough to remind me that I STILL have not posted part 10 of DoaF, but I promise you that I AM working on it!
In the meantime, clickthrough to check out how much James has enjoyed my work so far:
“Hey Shay! Just wanted to show you an example of what your “Diary of a Futa” posts do to me and, I’m sure, many other male readers. We need more! Keep up the great work, love the site! Be kind about the size, I’m somewhat self-conscious about it…but apparently not so self-conscious that I don’t submit it for the world to see.“
Do you want to appear in CBW?
Send in a pic!
We want to see your lady or man parts (either are great)!
[Don't forget that Vag Month (Feb) is coming up so I'm going to need some pictures of our lovely ladies with labias to post all that month!]

“Hi Shay, I know Valentine’s Day is still more than a month away, but it’s never too early to start thinking of gifts for that special someone. I was thinking of getting my boyfriend a sex toy for Valentine’s Day, and to be exact, a Fleshlight. However, I’m not too sure if it is an appropriate gift or is it too much for him. We do talk dirty and have phone sex. Also, I’m still a virgin, but he is no longer one. Do you think giving him a sex toy would be rather inappropriate considering our relationship is a rather short one and that we haven’t been that intimate with each other yet. And would it give him a wrong impression of me cause I don’t want him to think that I’m ready to have sex with him yet. So do you think I should get him a sex toy for Valentine’s Day, or go for something safer? Or should I prepare both something safe and a sex toy? Like the sex toy being a special surprise for him?
I would really hope to hear from you soon. And keep up the amazing job on The S Spot! I have been reading it for more than a year, maybe even close to 2 years now and it has educated me a lot. :D“
You’re right, imho it’s never too early to get a jump on gift shopping!
Since you two do enjoy having phone sex together, a Fleshlight sounds like it might be a really good idea – it’s something he can play with while he’s on the phone with you, and you’ll be able to hear how much he’s enjoying it. It might also be something that you can use with him when you’re there in person too, but aren’t feeling quite ready to have sex with him yet.
I don’t know if giving him a masturbation sleeve will necessarily make him think that you’re ready to have sex with him, but it certainly is a sexy kind of gift and does suggest that you’re open minded and interested in fun.
I’m also not sure how long you’ve been together, but you must be feeling pretty strongly if you’re thinking of dropping the cash to get him a Fleshlight. ^_~
Valentine’s day is the best gift-giving occasion to get someone a sex toy, so I don’t think you need to worry too much about setting up a “safe” gift option for him. That said, you do know him better than me, and if he seems like a more conservative or conventional type of person, maybe you’ll want to save the Fleshlight for the second V-Day you two celebrate together.
Have Fun! 
P.S. Did you check out my fleshlight reviews? There’s the Original and the Succudry! There’s also the Tenga sleeve (tho it’s not as durable).
