The Hot Octopuss Pulse Duo Is a Helpful Sex Toy for Pain-Free Intimacy
I've heard a decent amount about sex toy brand Hot Octopuss from my male friends, but it wasn't until the Pulse Duo arrived on my doorstep that I had my first experience with its products. I was excited to give it a try because I love penis toys that both partners can enjoy. The Pulse Duo isn't a cock ring—at least not in the traditional sense—it does help produce longer and stronger erections. More of a sleeve than a ring, the person with the penis wears the Pulse Duo while dry humping or gyrating up against a partner with the vulva. In other words, this isn't a device to be worn during penetration, nor would the size and shape allow for such a possibility. Instead, it's to be used in a way that gives both partners another avenue of sexual pleasure to explore: frottage. The inside of the Pulse Duo doesn't just contain vibrations (there are seven patterns to choose from) and texture, but there's also an oscillating plate that stimulates the frenulum of the penis. On the outside of the Pulse Duo, there's a grinding hump that exudes strong vibrations. It's here that the person with the vulva rubs their body, or more specifically their clitoris, against the Pulse Duo. In doing this, it not only arouses the person with the vulva, increasing natural lubrication in some cases, but also brings them closer to an orgasm—if that's their sexual goal. An Important Tool Courtesy of Hot Octopuss I found the Pulse Duo to be hard, uncomfortable, and not a device I'll likely use again. But while that's my personal experience, Pulse Duo is an essential sexual aid device. As someone who has many friends with vulvas who struggle to enjoy penetrative sex because of pain, the Pulse Duo offers a level of intimacy without penetration that other products don't. As much as it's not talked about or, even worse, sometimes dismissed when brought up, painful intercourse for those with vulvas isn't uncommon. According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, as many as 75 percent of people with vulvas will have painful intercourse at some point in their lives. For some, this may be something that pops up from time to time, while others may have medical conditions that prevent them from having pain-free intercourse. It's for these people that a device like the Pulse Duo comes into play. It offers the illusion of penetrative sex, as well as the eye contact and the intimacy, while giving both partners what they need: a stimulated clitoris and a stimulated penis. Water-based lube, both on the vulva and on the Pulse Duo, intensifies this feeling for both partners. I should also point out that the remote control for Pulse Duo is excellent. It's not just easy to use but also extremely tactical, so even if you're not looking directly at it, your fingers can scope out what each of the four buttons is for.

Man with the world's largest penis reveals agonising details of the night he lost his virginity...'it did not end well'
The man with the biggest penis in Britain has revealed the disastrous details of the night he lost his virginity. Matt Barr, whose manhood measures a mammoth 14in, has previously spoken about the downsides of having such gigantic genitalia. 'It's difficult, because it's not something you really spring on people as a surprise, because it just does scare people away,' he explained. Mr Barr's member—boasting a girth of 8.5in—and is claimed to be the 'world's biggest medically verified penis'. But size doesn't always make for success in the bedroom with Mr Barr opening up about how things went terribly wrong when he did the deed for the first time. Speaking to Californian medic Dr Rena Malik, Mr Barr revealed that losing his virginity led him to be rushed to hospital. While not divulging the details of the traumatic event he told the medic that 'it was not good, I went to hospital, so not ideal,' after having penetrative sex for the first time. He added that losing his virginity was a 'long time coming' with his massive manhood having previously prevented him from having intercourse. He detailed how he and a former lover 'tried, and realised it was kind of impractical', he recalled—but added that the pair decided to still spread the rumour that they had done the deed as 'a status thing'. 'That was supposedly my first time, but it wasn't really because it wasn't physically possible,' he confessed. 'It wasn't until a lot later that I ended up actually having what I consider to be penetrative sex.' Dr Malik explained that the difficulties Mr Barr experienced likely arose due to the size of the average vagina being much too small to fit Mr Barr's massive member. She said the average vaginal diameter is around 3.5in, and while this can sometimes double in size when a woman is aroused, the dimensions would still be too small for Mr Barr's member. Mr Barr continued to say that he 'didn't really know what [he] was doing, like a lot of men' the first time he had sex, adding that he's since worked 'to ensure that doesn't happen again'. 'I do always try to bring it up when I can, not in a creepy way, it's the question of how do you have that conversation early enough in a relationship when you've already got a bit of a bond and it's kind of clear you can talk about sex and it's not creepy to do,' he said. 'I think that's key where you can, just because for both sakes it's very useful to have that as a barometer of what to expect rather than spring it on them very last minute.' Mr Barr has previously spoken about other difficulties of having such a large member. These include once being thrown out of a yoga class because they thought he had become aroused. He said: 'I was wearing a very baggy shirt and shorts [but because of the] yoga positions, people just got the wrong idea. 'And that's the way it sometimes goes, but you can you can dress normally, baggy clothing, and it's not too difficult.' Mr Barr has also previously told MailOnline that a cultural over-emphasis on size meant many men felt unnecessarily insecure in the bedroom. 'Feeling insecure around your equipment is unsurprising when penis size myths are spread so readily by porn or locker-room jokes that assume "bigger is better",' he said. 'Any insecurities you are feeling about your sexual performance is not alleviated by growing a few inches - and once you get so far beyond the norm it brings with it a whole host of new problems. 'Even if you have the biggest penis in the world, you still have to focus on improving your sexual performance to give your partners the pleasure they deserve.' The NHS says the average size of an adult penis is 3 to 4in when flaccid, and between 6 to 7in when erect
