The Deep Curve Stroker is a masturbation sleeve intended to feel like a tight vagina sold by this sex toy store. I thought it more resembled a deep-throat stroker aside from the fact that the entrance looks like an oddly-shaped vagina. The other end is a closed end. The material is TPR which is extremely pliable and feels a lot like a sticky type of jelly. Adding some lubricant helps avoid the sticky part though. The inside basically has three separate chambers, and each chamber has small nubs all over it. The masturbator is about eight inches long and the inner chamber is less than an inch when not stretched with the actual body of the toy being about two inches across. (This means there is a large jelly wall along the outside to help prevent tearing.) The outside of the penis stroker is also lined with small ridges to help provide a better grip during use.
The packaging resembles most packaging from California Exotics. The packaging has the features of the product written all over the box. It’s not really discreet in the slightest. The masturbator itself is inside the box resting in a plastic sleeve. I wouldn’t recommend this box for storage since the masturbator is so sticky – it wouldn’t protect it much.
The chambers are interesting. First, there’s a small bulb when you enter the toy that’s covered in the small nubs. Then you have two small “rectangular”-type of chambers which are also covered in the nubs. Once you reach the end of the masturbator, there’s another small bulb with the nubs in it. Since this sex toy is actually about eight inches long, most penises won’t reach the final chamber unless the toy is pushed down on them. The boyfriend says that he does enjoy the nubs on the inside of the chambers but can’t really feel the chambers themselves. He says that the nubs are enjoyable and add something to your normal masturbation experience.
Getting into this little thing was a problem for us. And I mean little thing. The hole is half the size of my pinky. (The boyfriend says 2 millimeters in diameter). Because the hole is right on the surface of the masturbator, there’s no “sliding” into the hole like with other penis sex toys. This means you have to pry it open with your fingers to slip in the lube (prying this open is a two-hand job, so that’s difficult.) Then you have to pry it open again to actually slip your penis into it. It’s definitely a pain and not quite as easy as other male masturbators are.
Your first use with this masturbator will be your best use by far though. The toy naturally seems to stretch out to larger proportions after the first use. The inner chambers are definitely more loose. The outside size looks about the same though. After our first use, there were small tears and air bubbles in the toy itself. After a couple more uses, more of those started to appear. I’d give this a twenty-use limit – but that depends on your girth. Because the boyfriend is larger-than-average girth, he tends to stretch it out quite a bit. If you have a smaller girth, your lifespan with this toy might last a lot longer. Problems with cleaning (noted below) concern me about the lifespan as well.
So how does this one feel? Well, good, actually. We own a couple of Fleshlights, and there’s been ones that the boyfriend hasn’t been able to orgasm with. This one he could without too much of a problem. He still prefers his favorite Fleshlights to this one but definitely agreed that this is a nice cheap alternative. The nubs on the inside felt the best to him, and he felt like the toy was tight, but not too tight, once he got himself inside of it. He says that the ribs on the outside of the body really didn’t help him grip the toy any more easily. He also reports that using one hand on the body while using another hand just for the head seems to work the best for sensation. While he says he does prefer his Fleshlights, he’d still be completely open to using this instead sometimes. He says that the lack of a plastic case allows him to place the sensation exactly where he wants it.
We’re not so sure about the ergonomic curve. While it looks nice in design, in application, the jelly isn’t strong enough to hold the curve, so it really makes no difference. If held upside-down, the toy just instantly retains a long, straight line. It doesn’t keep the curve at all. This doesn’t feel realistic at all, though. It’s a different sensation than realistic. The boyfriend likes to compare it to a Tenga Egg – it’s a lot like using your own hand, but the little bit of added sensation makes it a little bit better.
From a female point-of-view, I can’t say that this one was amazingly hot to watch. It got better as time went on, but watching him first failing to apply lubricant to the inside then attempting to get inside just wasn’t so hot. Seeing the first couple thrusts with the wiggly squirming tentacle-looking thing on his penis wasn’t so hot either. As time went on, though, and he started to enjoy it, I started to appreciate the see-through jelly aspect that allowed me to see his penis at the same time he was using it. That’s hard to achieve with some of the more expensive alternatives. Since the toy is see-through, it’s also possible to see ejaculation at the end as well.
Care for this is an interesting situation. Since the sex toy is a closed-end toy, it doesn’t dry well. At all. You can rinse it out okay, but drying it becomes a problem. We still haven’t been able to get it to dry completely – even after leaving it out for two days. I don’t want it to mold if stored, but I also don’t want this to be a permanent fixture on my nightstand either. If you don’t plan on keeping it in storage for too long, though, this shouldn’t be a problem. Because it’s so sticky, this really needs to be stored in a plastic baggie or it’s going to gather lint and everything else imaginable. Be careful about storing this near other jelly toys because they may make *too* good of friends and become one.
Overall, the Deep Curve Stroker provided a pretty good sensation for the price and material. It won’t last for years to come, but it does add a good sensation to your regular masturbation. I’m a bit concerned about the cleaning, but when it comes down to it, he enjoys the penis masturbation sleeve, and we’ll probably take it out again in the future.
