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.

Looking for Male and/or Transgendered Sexuality or Body Image Professionals

IMG_3686Hi Everyone! Cathy Vartuli, N’Jalia Rhee and I are looking for male and/or transgendered sexuality or body image professionals to join us on a panel proposal we are submitting for CatalystCon West (Woodland Hills, CA) this September. We had great feedback from our “Does This Panel Make Me Look Fat: Body Image and Sexuality” panel at CatalystCon East last month but feel we would be better served to have a broader point of view on the panel that represents more than just us three women.

If you (or anyone you know) are interested, please check out the CatalystCon www.CatalystCon.com website for dates and our panel’s page/description: http://catalystcon.com/sessions-east/#fatbodyimage

Then email me at TheLadyCheeky@Gmail.com

Thanks so much! xo Elle LadyCheeky Chase

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.

Bawdy Storytelling – America’s Original Sex+Storytelling series featuring Real People and Rockstars sharing their bona fide sexual adventures – is coming to LA! Entering it’s seventh year in San Francisco, Bawdy Storytelling (the J. Edgar Hoover to your size 13 cha-cha heels) will draw LA’s smartest and smuttiest to El Cid’s stage to share tales of our ‘Secret Life’: sex with strangers, assumed names, role playing, and that time with the best boy, the key grip and a roll of gaffer’s tape in the editing room <yes, we know about that>.

This show will be a mix of renowned sex-positive celebrities for the curated portion of our show, followed by BawdySlam (where people just like you take to the Bawdy stage and share personal and intimate adventures for prizes and the title of Dirtiest Storyteller in LA!

Bawdy’s award-winning take on sex and storytelling has made it not only a “don’t miss” event in the cities we’ve already conquered, but it serves as a gathering of the bold, the beautiful, and (if our fan mail is to be believed) an awesome first date destination. Each themed evening of true dirty stories features tales of carnal wins and epic fails with no scripts, no nets, and no holds barred. You may even go home with a few new tricks for your boudoir arsenal!

The historic El Cid is a treasured Silverlake Landmark. Now it’s under new management, and has a new menu under the direction of renowned chef Olivia Hernandez. This is going to be a very special evening. Think tapas, cocktails and flirting…

Sandra is the resident sex blogger on Chris Hardwick’s Nerdist.com. She also works & teaches at The Pleasure Chest in Los Angeles and coaches individuals. She has been seen on ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians,’ the pilot episode of The Wanda Sykes Show, & has also lent her voice to both Playboy and Spice Radio. Sandra believes human sexuality should be a distinct field of study as it is a distinct & important aspect of our lives. And she, for one is happy, quite happy, to study it.

normal- Brian Finkelstein is a regular performer and teacher at The Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre in Los Angeles, as well as the host of the LA Moth Story-slams. He has performed his solo shows in a variety of venues from the HBO/US Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen to the 2012 Summer Nights Festival in Perth, Australia. He’s also an Emmy-nominated writer for his work on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Currently his screenplay, Good Grief is being produced by 72 Productions and he’s touring with The Moth.

images- Nikol Hasler is the Producer & Host of The Midwest Teen Sex Show (a regular in top ten iPod health podcasts) which gained press attention from the Wall Street Journal, Glamour Magazine, CBS Evening News with Katie Couric, Nightline, and even The O’Reilly Factor, among others.

dixie2 - Dixie De La Tour founded San Francisco’s ‘blue personal narrative’ movement almost five years ago in a Burning Man warehouse. The off-color nature of her life was at odds with her diehard love of storytelling until she decided to create Bawdy Storytelling, a place for other people with poor self-control to share their antics, too. As a card-carrying pervert who sports both Southern charm and a mouth that would make a Sailor blush, she’s earned her Ph.D in sex-positive culture after more than a decade of hosting, promoting and throwing underground sex parties and events. Dixie runs Bawdy Storytelling full time, writes for the zine SanFranSexy, and recently left full-time employment in Women’s Marketing for an Adult Dating & Hookup site (where she wrote porn star bios and content for the women’s sexuality site SheLovesSex, plus served as Community Moderator for people on the make). She’s currently working on a book of her own adventures, and is planning to take over the world – one bawdy story at a time.
