True Pleasures: Review of Zeus vibrating cockring - Reach the orgasmic heights of Mount Olympus!

After a somewhat dissapointing experience with the Betty Jo cockring, I decided to go searching for a new one. For some reason, Zeus just screamed perfect boy toy. I mean, what is better than getting a toy for your man named after the king of the Greek gods? There's nothing wrong with pumping up his ego a little, right? lol Just as long as he doesn't turn into Narcissus. The phrase on the package doesn't hurt either; "Reach the orgasmic heights of Mount Olympus". How could I resist? ^-^

Sounds interesting. What's it made of?

The Zeus cockring is made of beautiful cobalt blue TPE (Basically the same as TPR. INFO), which makes it easy to clean. Just a little warm water and anti-bacterial soap. Also, since it's TPE, you can use either silicone-based or water-based lube on Zeus. Since the bullet that comes with Zeus is water-proof, you'll probably want to give it a go in the shower sometime. That being said, it's usually better to use silicone-based lubes for water play. The hubby and I don't do much water play. Mostly because the shower in our apartment is itty bitty and he's not. It helps that I'm a skinny little thing, but it's still a tight squeeze getting both of us in the shower together. I wish we didn't have that stupid tub.... >.< style="font-weight: bold;">

Anyway, back to the bullet.

You get batteries with it. Yay! ^-^ And there are 3 speeds that you can cycle through by pushing the little nubby button. I swear, my hubby is a speed demon. Always puts everything on the highest setting. Not that I'm complaining. The vibes that little bullet put out where enough to make him feel like one of my vibrating dildos. ^-^ You'll need to apply a little lube to get the bullet into the sleeve.

So what about Zeus' spiky thundering balls of orgasmic might?

Um...well... They don't really add much. Really, I expected more just looking at it. You sit there looking at the package while the hubby's at work, thinking the little spiky, TPE coated metal balls must strike like the lightning bolts that Zeus throws. You try to cram the bullet into the sleeve (use some lube) and turn it on to see how the little balls do. Well, the outside two move a bit. And even the vibrations on the highest setting don't really transfer to them well.

Then you try it out and it's like...eh. You really have to be in a certain position to feel them. Hubby said he doesn't really feel them that much. (You want to give your guy a thrill, lightly run your nails over his balls. ~_^) In my opinion, girls, doggy style is best if you want to feel the little spiky balls. Ordinarily, he bangs hard enough against me for his balls to hit me with every thrust. With Zeus on, the little spiky balls do add an element of excitement. If I'm lucky, one of them will hit my clit. The only thing with that is I don't get the textured bullet sleeve buzzing my clit. A little buzzing at the back door is a nice change though.

Wait, so there's some kind of texture on the bullet sleeve?

Mmhmm. And it feels good... Way better than anything pointy jabbing me or rubbing against something smooth and boring. On one side, Zeus has 3 little raised bumps to sort of surround your clit. Best position for ultimate pleasure is girl on top. That way you can position your clit right in the middle and go to town. The other side of Zeus just has little raised dots. They're nice, but I like the other side better.

That's great and all, but will it fit my guy?

TPE is a very stretchy material and should fit most guys. Seriously, if I can fit it over both his cock and balls, it should fit any guy. Although, fitting it over both really doesn't make much sense with this cockring. It was pretty easy to get on/off. *snickers* When you do it the right way. I let hubby put his own cockring on for the first time. He put it on upside down! lol XD Geez.. Silly thing. ^_^ Ha. Ok, ok, enough making fun. It was funny, though. Anyway, it keeps him hard longer and delays ejaculation like any good cockring would.

Packaging?

No problems. Comes in a box with a picture of a hand holding it. Gotta love the marketing on it "Reach the orgasmic heights of Mount Olympus" and "Feel the power!". Somebody had their thinking cap on.

Vibration Level: 3/5 3 levels of vibration. The 3rd one is enough to turn the hubby into a vibrating dildo, so it's pretty strong. It's just that it's pathetic when it comes to vibrating those little balls. If the vibrations transfered, then maybe I'd give it a higher rating.

Noise Level: 2/5 I'd compare it to a cell phone set to vibrate.

Pros: Phthalates-free!, stretchy, visually appealing, nice 3-speed bullet, feels good with the right position, can be used with either silicone-based or water-based lube, water-proof,

Cons: The vibrations don't really transfer to the little balls much. Somewhat a pain to find a position to get the full effect of Zeus.

Summary: So what is my take on all this? Well, it's definitely more fun for me than it is for my hubby. He can't really feel the little balls and he said he just likes the vibes. On the other hand, I get to rub my clit against those nice little bumps and have the little balls smack into me during doggy style. Plus, the kitsch factor with the whole Zeus thing was a lot of fun. ^-^ But, since it's hard to get the full effect and since the little balls don't do much, 3/5 for good old Zeus.

Of course, Zeus isn't the only cockring out there. There are plenty of other cockrings, sex toys, lingerie etc to check out at EdenFantasys.
