Music. Sex. Life wouldn’t be nearly as lively or loud without them.
All the more reason to be stoked when OhMiBod sent me a sample of their newest product, the Freestyle -- a sex accessory (or as they say, an acsexsory™) that unites the two.
How, exactly?
A wireless transmitter connects the vibrator to your iPod (or iPhone, or laptop, or if you want to go all out, your stereo system), which when turned on and turned up, will guide the speed and variations of the Freestyle's vibrations. Fast and bass-heavy tunes means faster, heartier pulsations.
For integrating music into your sex life in a stimulating way, it totally delivers.
To stick with a rating system I created previously, here's my Freestyle rundown:
Sound: Is it quiet? Or will your housemates turn up the common room's Pandora playlist every time you turn it on?
If you take off your iPod earbuds to listen to the actual vibrations, they're quiet enough not to penetrate walls, no matter how thin. But if you're hooked up to your home audio system (OhMiBod even provides you with the AUX cable), would its sound matter that much in the first place? Your music would likely overtake any sound the vibrator makes.
Effectiveness and Speed Settings: Can you actually achieve orgasm in a reasonable amount of time? And are you in the driver's seat?
The speed and intensity of the vibrations depends on a few factors. If you pair your pleasure session with a slow, quiet ballad, the vibrator will act similarly mellow. So turn up the beat and the volume to turn up the vibes.
If you're not feeling the music, that's okay, too. Ignore the wireless transmitter and your iPod all together, and settle into the Freestyle's manual mode with seven settings. They're varied enough to keep you interested when you're taking a break from the music, but they're not this accessory's selling point.
Discretion and Mobility: Could you take it to your parents' or in-laws' without worrying someone might find it the whole time? Does it freak you out a little each time you take it out of your bedside stand?
A smooth pink wand that's over eight inches long, this toy is not a blatant penis-shaped dildo with the girth of your fist. It's simple. And while it's phallic, it's not abrasively so.
For frequent travellers, it comes with its own, albeit bulky and conspicuous, carrying case and extra plug adapters for the UK, Europe, Australia and New Zealand. Were space an issue in your luggage, however, I'd ditch the large case, and just pack the wand, transmitter and plug.
And in case you're hoping to have fun in more than one room of the house, your musical treat will keep on playing for 5 hours within a 25-foot radius. When I tested it, the vibrator pulsed just as strong across the room as it did right next to the transmitter.
