“How was the orgasm [with the Hot Octopuss Pulse III] on a scale from 1-10?” I asked my boyfriend, “1 being your typical jack-off session and 10 being my orgasms when I’m getting fisted.”
“Well, that’s a high standard to compare any orgasm to, but probably a 4.”
What is the Pulse III?
My boyfriend wanted a penis masturbation toy, so I requested from SheVibe the fanciest one I could: the Hot Octopuss Pulse III Solo. There are two main things you need to know about it.
First, the Pulse III is a vibrator for penises. Hot Octopuss calls it a “guybrator,” but there are women with penises or enlarged clitorises who would benefit from using it, as well as nonbinary people. The second thing you need to know is that Hot Octopuss‘s vibrations are rumbly AF. Like the Eroscillator, the Pulse III achieves the rumble by rapidly swiveling and oscillating rather than vibrating.
Such quality power doesn’t come cheap (and is often loud, for that matter). But a 4 out of 10 is pretty dang impressive by our calibration. For context, when I get fisted or use a dildo the circumference of a soda can, I’m screaming like I’m pushing a baby out. In the best way possible. A 10 is the kind of orgasm that makes people with penises jealous and almost want to give up their male privilege. Anything that lets a penis experience a 4/10 without any extra effort is worth spreading the word.
“[Using the Pulse III] was pretty intense,” my boyfriend commented. “It wasn’t just the orgasm, but also the build-up. It’s like edging, but more constant and easier to maintain.”
How to use the Hot Octopuss Pulse III
There are two big raised lines, and a raised circle around where the oscillating plate isThe design is ergonomic for holding the oscillating plate against the frenulum of the penis. There are “wings” that wrap around the penis, but don’t expect them to provide much stimulation. They’re mostly there to keep the vibrator in place with less effort. You can enjoy the vibrations without always gripping tightly.
The Hot Octopuss Pulse III is decidedly not a stroker. However, you can pair the vibrations with stroking. My boyfriend uses the Pulse III while pulling his foreskin, stretching his frenulum, and stroking his shaft with small movements. His penis’s head, meanwhile, grinds on the texture on the inside.
He doesn’t use long strokes with the Pulse III because the vibrations are so strong that they veil his usual masturbatory movements. The small strokes enhance the vibration, rather than vibrations strengthening the typical jack-off motion.
And the beauty of a not-stroker is that you can have just as much fun using it while flaccid as when erect. Using the Pulse III in this way can substantially expand the sexual repertoire of someone with erectile dysfunction.
