SEX TOY REVIEW: JimmyJane’s Iconic Rabbit (JimmyJane Part 1)

Featured

By Lady Cheeky

JimmyJane pleasure products are sleek, well-made and handsome, but they’re also on the higher price range price. Are they worth it? I tried out five of them to help you decide. This is the first in a five-part series:

JimmyJane’s Iconic Rabbit: The Usual Suspects Collection: This was the first JimmyJane product I owned and the first rabbit I tried. Wandering the aisles of The Pleasure Chest in West Hollywood, CA, I found myself awash in a sea of garish rabbit and rabbit-like devices not knowing which to choose. The great thing about The Pleasure Chest is that all their sales associates are educators as well and very well-versed in all of their products. After I made a glib comment about the flashy designs of most of the choices, the salesperson steered me to JimmyJane’s Iconic Rabbit.

Initially attracted to it’s no-nonsense design devoid of glitter, pearls and bright color that the sex toy industry assumes women like, I was pleasantly pleased with the salesperson’s review and quickly ran home to try it out. Let’s just say I was MORE than thrilled with it’s performance. With the Iconic Rabbit angled just right I was able to have my FIRST simultaneous g-spot/clitoral orgasm. For that feat alone it should receive an award.

Made of durable, phalate-free and body-safe materials (like all of their toys you can feel confident exposing your most intimate areas to this vibe. The Iconic Rabbit has a rotating shaft, inner “pearls” and a divine set of bunny ears that hit me at just the right “spot.” It’s dual slide, individual speed controls let you play with different speeds for different areas and test and choose the intensity that’s right for you. Contrary to other Rabbit’s I’ve tried since, I found JimmyJane’s Iconic Rabbit to be versatile enough for when I want powerful stimulation and for when I am in the mood for a lighter touch. In addition, it’s aesthetically pleasing and goes well with my white and grey bedroom … it’s the little things that make a difference, right?

By myself or in the hand of a partner, this Rabbit performs and, after 5 years of continuous use, has held up just as well as the day I bought it … well worth the price. I recommend this to women who are just about to buy their first sex toy and to couples who want to start experimenting with toys. One of the best ways to build intimacy with a partner (and see how they like to be pleasured) is to watch each other masturbate. The Iconic Rabbitis the perfect choice for this setting as it’s size and appearance are non-threatening to men and to women who aren’t used to playing with a toy in bed.

The drawbacks? Unlike a lot of JimmyJane products the Iconic Rabbit is not waterproof so I recommend using a toy cleaning wipe or spray (I like pjur med clean intimacy soft cleansing fleece). Room for improvement? Sure, I’d like to see a girthier version in the future for a little variety and a waterproof one would open up more possibilities … but that’s just me. Regardless, I’ll still be hitting up Mr. Iconic Rabbit for late night trysts.

Tweet sex sites are a many splendored thing, opening doors to fluid identities that are both sexy and risk-free while erecting an emotional firewall to avoid real, personal rejection. My hackles go up whenever I think about technology replacing human touch, but when I met Lady Cheeky and heard her story of seeking and finding passion via tweet sex, I witnessed a brave new world where one woman’s sexuality was accessed in an accelerated way that involved wooing, teasing, and palpable passion.

“Lady Cheeky” is her Anglophile cybersex identity name, where she is a servant/vessel/wench. We met on the floor at Marilyn Friedman’s essay writing workshop, which I signed up for during a dark time. After dozens of agent rejections flooded my inbox for over a year, I longed to sit in a room with other writers again, hoping to inject my writing with joy by learning new literary tricks from veteran journalist, Taffy Brodesser-Akner. Our assignment was to tell the group what our essay was about and then say one more line declaring what our essay was “really” about.

Lady Cheeky’s wavy, Lucille Ball hair matched her bright red lips. Her curves punched out of her ’40s frock, as she told a hilarious topsy-turvy tale about role-playing on a True Blood-themed, Twitter-based direct message and tweet stream, which led her to start her smart and sexy websites where she met “Lord Byron,” hired a P.I. to check another lover out, and divorced her husband. She also overcame a rare sexual disorder; started a popular sensual images blog; began writing and publishing real-life erotica based on her new, passion-filled experiences; is in the process of working on a memoir; has a new story in Rachel Kramer Bussel’s upcoming erotica anthology, The Big Book of Orgasm; and is currently speaking about body image and sensuality, as well as integrative sensuality.

Lady Cheeky’s story beneath the story was flesh and bone ache deriving from a phantom limb that was pummeled awake by HBO’s True Blood series. I wanted to know more about how True Blood was the springboard to becoming a sexually actualized woman, capable and deserving of passion.

Surviving Stretch Marks

Posted on March 19, 2013 by Lady Cheeky

feb 22 art and motherhood By Dr. Megan Stubbs, EdD, ACS

I just recently returned from a vacation in Japan and had the wonderful opportunity to visit my first onsen. Onsen is the Japanese word for hot spring. Being a volcanic country, this provides the perfect environment for there to be many located around Japan. These public bathing facilities are great for the countries tourism, but moreover, just a great place to relax.

While using the onsen, you are not allowed to wear any clothing. This is quite the liberating experience, especially when you go with family members. Now obviously it isn’t polite to stare considering that everyone is naked, but you’re bound to look around.

While I was submerged in the heavenly hot and mineral rich water, I took in the scene around me. There were around 100 plus women in the facility at the time and their ages varied from toddlers to those who were well into their 80’s. Something struck me as very peculiar as I was surveying all of the bodies. Despite their lean and lithe build, I noticed that almost every woman had stretch marks. That was the point where it really hit me that stretch marks can happen to anyone.

Stretch marks are a type of scarring that can happen when there is rapid growth and stretching of the skin. They often occur during puberty, pregnancy, and can even happen during muscle building. The marks can appear anywhere on the body, but are usually found in areas where there are high amounts of fat stored, like the abdomen, breasts, arms, thighs, hips, and buttocks.

Stretch marks are commonly a darker, reddish color, which later fade into a lighter hue over time. The dark color is from the dermis (the inner layer of skin) being torn and exposing the blood vessels in the skin. As the tears heal, the stretch marks return to a color similar to the surrounding skin. They pose no health risks but can often cause some mixed feelings to those who have them.

The largest sexual organ on our body is our skin. And when there are perceived flaws on it, it can be the source for many negative thoughts. The prevalence, let alone the normalcy, of stretch marks should be known and in no way are an indication of damaged goods. If you’re still stressing over the stretch marks, there are topical creams and laser procedures that you can undergo. The results are varied, and in some cases, can be very expensive.

Please consider embracing yourself for all that you are. You are more than the sum of your scars and imperfections. More love and less loathing. It starts with you. If you can’t love yourself, how is anyone else going to? Beauty is more than skin deep, so don’t let some scars get you down. And when it comes to sex, everything is OK here.

Dr. Megan is a Grand Rapids based Sexologist.
