Toy Tour, the Merlin
|
Toy Tour, the Merlin Technically, this little number is called the 'Merlin Cum-A-Lot', produced as part of the fantasy series by 'O'my'. The other two items were the 'Naughty Gnome' and the 'Shaggin' Dragon.' I dunno about the Gnome, I might try and find the Dragon sometime. But don't bother looking for it in stores, the line has been discontinued. I suppose if you searched hard enough online you could find one. There's probably a stockpile of them out there. I first came across this item at the Discrete Boutique, now out of business. I walked in one day, and they had a wall of these things. I swear to god, an entire wall of pink smiling faces looking down at me. They must have gotten some sort of bulk deal out of it, I'd never seen anything like that display. I damn near turned around and walked right back out. Frankly, I had no intention of ever owning a sex toy with a face. That was just ... stupid. I like to think we all approach sex with a bit of dignity, a bit of excitement. Sticking a face on a sex toy just seemed to be the wrong approach. It was twee and saccharine, the sort of sex toy that an animated Disney princess might own. So I did my best to ignore it. I think a lot of other people did so too. As I said, the product line got discontinued so it obviously wasn't selling. At Discrete Boutique, they eventually resorted to giving them away... literally, they included them in their complimentary gift baskets. Spend over a hundred dollars, and you got a basket. Most of their complimentary gift baskets were just stuff they weren't moving well - novelty games and toys, some oils and lubricants, edible underwear, crap like that - and this little thing. They were overstocked, couldn't move it fast enough, just throw it into the gift basket to be rid of it. Which is how I ended up with one. Anyway, the first thing I did with the little bastard, when I went through the gift basket was to make a sour face, like I'd sucked a lemon. The next thing was, to consign it to the bottom drawer where I kept the unsuccessful toys. Because I was never going to use a toy with a smiling face! But, dammit, it won me over. One night, for the hell of it, I popped some batteries in... and it performed beyond all expectations. So here's the deal with Merlin - the outer casing is solid Grade 5 Silicone, one of the highest grades on the market, very silky to the touch, not too soft, not too hard. No phthalates, non-porous, non-allergenic, very easy to clean, smooth to the touch and responsive to human body temperature. It takes two double A batteries, the control is an analog cap on the base - basically, you dial it up or down in intensity, rather than having it do vibration patterns. In that sense, it's fairly retro. But the motor is strong, with a low frequency vibration that is distributed evenly through the length of the instrument. Unlike a lot of vibrators, this one is versatile - it serves very well as both a clitoral stimulator - the tip carries a strong vibration, and narrows to a very effective half inch dome which makes it quite effective. It's also a wonderful insertion device. Total length is 8 & 1/2 inches, but that's not all fucking length. The nose marks the limit of insertion, about 4 & 1/2 inches, past that is just the hand grip area, which is actually fine. It's the first third of the vagina that has all the nerve endings, and that's what you want to concentrate on. Taking a toy deep doesn't do all that much, and if you're too rough it can be uncomfortable. What really works for Merlin is the variable thickness. At the tip, you've got maybe half an inch thickness, and it expands outwards in a sort grooves and gentle bulges until about one and three quarter inches and five and a half inches circumference, or slightly thicker than the average cock. This is very effective because it means that the spread or dilation of the vagina is constantly changing as you fuck with it. Most dildos and vibrators will tend to a constant thickness along their length, so when you're fucking with them, it's just the friction. But here, the size changes and the folds actually do a lot to heighten and intensify the experience. Women love it, they love the way it opens them up, they love the thickness of it, the constant level of vibration and the way that the vibration frequency is set low for vaginal stimulation. That gradual bumpy thickening is also terrific for anal training, particularly in combination with the uniform level of low frequency vibration. You can really open someone up gently with it, either for fucking with the Merlin in and of itself, or as foreplay to a main event. There are some downsides. It's supposed to be splash resistant, but I don't think it's waterproof by any means. The face and hearts above the face are inlays which means that there are tiny crevices in it where you might get vaginal or anal residue and bacteria. I'm very careful with cleaning it, I find careful scrubbing with a soft toothbrush and toy cleaner does the trick, I'm careful not to scour the silicone. Because of the crevices, for anal training, I always stick a condom on it, and I'll even use a condom for vaginal penetration if the situation warrants it (using it on a new person, or on several women in succession). As a bonus the nose makes for a really nice anchor point for a condom, once the rubber rolls over the nose, that condom doesn't come off accidentally. But those quibbles are tiny. This is an amazingly good toy, and is a total favourite both for myself and any woman I've used it on. It belongs in the tiny group of universal favourites, like my hitachi, the trident, the wevibe. When I put a kit together to go visiting or travelling, it is always included. And frankly, I still think the face is silly. Honestly, this is such a wonderful instrument in so many ways, that I think putting a face on it actually hurt it and turned people off. Without the face, I suspect it would be selling well today. If you're interested in searching out the O'My fantasy line, this would be the one to look for. Going by Online reviews, the Naughty Gnome has been a consistent disappointment and the Shaggin' Dragon gets mixed notices. If I'd known just how good it was, I would have bought a gross of them and gave them away as Christmas Presents. It's that good.  |
