Field Evaluation of the Vibrating Ring Condom By: Duke Lacrosse Senior Product Evaluation Engineer Date: January 2007 Background I was very excited to get the opportunity to field test the Vibrating Ring Condom and the timing could not have been better. My girlfriend and I had a pretty serious falling out about 3 months ago and had not seen each other since. We also had not made love in that amount of time. No matter how mad we ever became with each other, our sex was always amazingly incredible and I truly believed that she is the sexiest, most attractive and sensual woman I have ever been with in my life. We had recently started speaking again and were starting to reconcile so she agreed to pay me visit at my apartment on the Friday after Christmas since we both were on holiday leave from work. I spoke to her the night before and mentioned the product and that I was interested in her assistance in the evaluation the next day. She seemed a bit indifferent about my idea and didn't indicate one way or the other if she was interested. Product Description The concept and design of the product is a familiar one and has been around a long time. Similar versions can be obtained from any adult sex shop or online store. It is a latex ring with an attached battery operated device that vibrates. The ring is slipped over the erect cock with or without a condom in this Trojan Model. The instructions state that this device is meant to provide pleasure for both partners. You can purchase a 4 pack or a 2 pack meaning the number of condoms and you get one vibrating ring with the 2 pack and, if I recall correctly, 2 rings with the 4 pack. They are on the expensive side. The price of the 2 pack was around $11 and the 4 pack was $17. I purchased the 2 pack for this evaluation A few years ago, I purchased a very similar vibrating cock ring except that the ring was thicker and the vibrating device was bigger. The other difference is that the batteries in the Trojan model are not replaceable making the product disposable. The instructions mention that the batteries are supposed to last for 20 minutes. The batteries were replaceable in the product I had previously purchased and it could be used indefinitely. A third difference is that the ring on my first product was shaped like a bunny with the ears pointed in a strategic location to stimulate the woman's clit. My girlfriend and I had used my cock ring on a few occasions and have tried a few other toys together. She enjoys using a handheld vibrator to masturbate with alone or with me masturbating her with it (I especially loved it when she held it on her pussy and my cock at the same time while we were fucking). It is important to note that her handheld massager had a fairly strong vibration. This may have had some impact on the results of our evaluation. This will be explained in more detail in the next section. Conducting the Tests Friday arrived and my girl knocked on my door at the designated time. I was already pretty excited just thinking about her arrival. One of the first things she told me after we greeted was that she had masturbated in the car while driving to my place. This caused a tingle in my groin and was very hot to me. I was starting to get a bit more aroused. After some small talk, I showed her the Vibrating Cock Ring I wanted to evaluate with her and her eyes lit up a little. She immediately took my hand and led me to the bedroom and we kissed as she removed her clothes. After she undressed, she sat on the edge of the bed and pulled me closer. My cock was already pretty impressively hard but she knew exactly how to make it completely engorged to the point of throbbing. She pulled down the front of my boxers and took the head of my cock in her mouth while stroking the shaft at the same time. This got me extremely hard as a rock in no time and she motioned for me to hand her the condom. I should have opened the condom before we started fooling around because it was annoying trying to get the package open with my hands shaking from excitement. I finally opened the package and handed the condom to her. She deftly slipped it onto the head and used the stroking motion to expand down the shaft. I then spread the latex ring and slipped it over the condom onto my cock. Not to brag or anything but it was a little tight for my girth. I always love it when she gets on top and rides me and I thought this may be the best position to evaluate the vibrating ring. She has some very nice techniques for this position. I lay back on the bed and she straddled me while holding my cock in position to enter her pussy. With her hand wrapped around it she squeezed and stroked it a little and made the comment that she was not sure that it was going to fit. This was a huge indicator of how excited I was to make love to her after such a long time and I kind of wondered how it was going to fit myself. She slowly lowered herself onto my cock and we both had to let out a moan. Her pussy felt as velvety soft and snug as ever, even with the condom. Actually, it seemed a lot more snug than usual. I looked up and her eyes were closed and her head held back as she slowly started to rock and grind on my throbbing cock. Then, she did something which I always absolutely loved when we were making love in this position. She shifted her legs and position so that her weight pushed her down on my cock so hard that I could feel it in the nether regions of her cervix and as deep as it could possibly be. The head of my cock was squeezed when she did this and it always felt wonderful beyond description. She had told me a long time ago that she loved the sensation also and that it gave her goose bumps and shivers and eventually always gave her an orgasm unlike any she ever had before. After short time of her grinding and riding me this way, I asked her how she liked the vibrating ring. She said that it really wasn't doing much for her. The reason for this could have been that she masturbated on the trip to my place or the fact that she was used to her vibrator which had a stronger vibration. Or, the ergonomics were just not right for us. As much as I hated to, I decided to switch position. After all this was a product evaluation and besides, I was starting to feel as if I was going to finish too quickly from being so excited to be making love with her after so long. She moved off of me and lay on her back. I climbed off of the bed and pulled her to the edge of the bed by the legs. I then got on my knees and started to lick her pussy. I exposed her beautiful little clit with my fingers to gently flick it with my tongue a few times and lick in a circle around it. I have to mention that her clit looked very happy to see me. Next, I took off the vibrating ring and I decided to see how good it worked manually. I started rubbing the Vibrator around all around her pussy at first. Then, while exposing her clit again, I touched it with the vibrator gently and slowly moved it across, up and down and in a circle on and around her beautiful little clit. I slowly increased the pressure and the speed. Also, I just could not resist alternating the vibrator activity with using my tongue and lips to stimulate her clit because it looked so wonderful and hot and I was turned on beyond measure. Judging from her reaction, I believe she was enjoying it very much. I continued to take turns stimulating her with the vibrator and nibbling, sucking and licking her while she squirmed and rocked her hips with pleasure. I started to apply more pressure and speed with both the vibrator and my mouth until I could tell she was getting close to orgasm. I then put my lips around her clit and sucked and licked her until she started to have an extremely intense orgasm. She started to squirm harder and try to pull away from me. I was so turned on that I did not want to stop. I locked her legs with my arms and pulled my face and mouth as deep as possible between her legs and continued to suck and lick her clit as she started to cum. I placed her clit between my lips and pulled on it slightly and moved my head from side to side still pulling on it and nibbling it. When I could tell this was becoming a bit too much for her , I stood up with her still on the edge of the bed and I guided my cock inside her and started to pump with all my might and as deep as I could. By this time, my cock was extremely impressive and thicker and harder than it had been in a long, long time. After what seemed to be at least 10 minutes of fucking, I looked down at her face and her eyes were closed and she had an expression that is difficult to describe. The only word I can think of is enraptured. I then asked if she had had a good orgasm. She opened her eyes and looked at me and said in a very shaky voice, "I'm still Cumming". As soon as I heard those words from her, I could feel my own explosion building up. I started to cum and have an unbelievably orgasm that seemed to last forever. My cock started to violently pulsate; and this lasted for the longest time. The sensation was so intense I let out a very loud yell or moan or some noise that I don't ever remember making before. After that, I was too sensitive to move. I had to stay completely still for a few minutes until I recovered. We made love later that day again after going for a bite to eat and window shopping near the beach but we did not use the vibrating ring the second time. So, there remained a little time left on the battery. After she left later that evening, I slipped the ring on the head of my cock and masturbated while remembering the hot, passionate and sexy details of our lovemaking earlier that day. I have to say that this was pretty enjoyable. Summary In summary, I can't really give the Trojan Vibrating Ring Condom a very strong recommendation because you can find better toys in the sex store or online that are more practical because the batteries are replaceable and they possibly have a bit more powerful vibration also. Unfortunately, I cannot compare the Trojan product with the vibrating cock ring I already owned because my girlfriend and I wore the batteries out on that a long time ago and I have not replaced them yet. I do have to admit that it was very fun to try and it possibly did add to my level of arousal. However, my state of arousal was also very possibly maximized because of the fact of being with my favorite lover of all time for the first time in a long time. I asked my girlfriend for her opinion and she indicated that it was ok but nothing to write home about. We are both so very used to having unbelievable sex with each other without using any toys that it is a difficult one to call. I have to say that it is worth trying out if you are just getting into using the toys and want to experiment. It would make a good entry level toy. Future Product Evaluations The next evaluation is for a somewhat unconventional sex toy that has been around for a very long time and I have heard a lot of positive things about. It was highly recommended to me. It is the Oster Stim-Ulax Professional Massager. I can't wait to field test this one. Have Fun! Duke Lacrosse
