JETT TURBO from Hot Octopuss review
Review of JETT TURBO from Hot Octopuss
by Shamus MacDuff
JETT TURBO is an odd-looking sex toy. It consists of a flat “plate” attached to a long cord that bifurcates into two plugs. The plugs insert into two bullet-like motors that share a stretchy sleeve-like “crest.” The crest is “the room where it happens.”
“Wait a minute,” you say. “Isn’t there already a penis toy named JETT from Hot Octopuss?” Yes, there is. But like many sex toys, as technology changes improved versions that add desirable features are developed. Such is the situation with the new JETT TURBO.
The word turbo connotes speed and high performance. Both apply to this wonderful new sex toy. JETT TURBO is more powerful than its predecessor while retaining all its desirable features. It is meant primarily for solo play, but it allows for exciting partner play as well.
Flaccid or erect, insert your penis (*see photo note) into the flexible sleeve and align your frenulum above the twin motors.
Next, using the control plate, play with different intensities from the treble and bass motors to find your personal optimum. You can then select from eight different patterns to yield a wide variety of stimulation.
If you’re partnered, your lover may discover—as mine did!—that a tongue on the protruding penis head takes pre-orgasmic pleasure to a sublime level.
Pioneering the development of sex toys designed especially for penis owners, Hot Octopuss introduced the Pulse “guybrator” in 2013. A few years later, they added the dual-engine JETT in 2019. The original JETT brought us their innovative patented treble and bass technology.
Now 7 years later the JETT TURBO contains many new, improved features:
- Lithium battery charges via a USB cable instead of four replaceable AA batteries.
- Convenient 29-inch retractable cord versus an 18 inch non-retractable one.
- Considerably lighter than the original JETT, weighing just over half a pound total (271 grams).
- Power pack is smaller, flatter, much more attractive, and contains colored lights that indicate the different intensity levels.
- Detachable bullet motors are waterproof, facilitating cleaning. (The power pack is not waterproof.)
- Made of body safe silicone.
Original JETT vs Turbo
I had continued to enjoy the original JETT in spite of the periodic inconvenience of purchasing new batteries. But now that I’ve experienced the new refined model I see why Hot Octopuss has invested in JETT TURBO. The performance and convenience are superb, as you’ll see when you give it a go!
Thank you, Hot Octopuss, for sending me the JETT TURBO in return for an honest review! Learn about the other splendid toys for penis or vulva at Hot Octopuss.com.

Arcwave Zing Stroker Review
Arcwave Zing Stroker Review
by Shamus MacDuff
What guy wouldn’t enjoy a fling with Arcwave Zing, an innovative self-pleasuring stroker vibrator for the penis in your life! Zing boasts a unique design: it’s a 4-1/4” long, adjustable width “sleeve” masturbator that is open along its length. Stretch it apart to reveal a ribbed interior. Add water-based lube to the interior and to your
penis. Insert penis — flaccid or erect — then squeeze the sleeve snugly. Wrap your hand around it, turn on the vibrations, and enjoy!
The word zing means energy, enthusiasm, liveliness. Arcwave Zing delivers all of these with 10 different patterns and 10 intensity levels. It’s fun to experiment with different energy combinations to find those that work best for you. You’ll get so enthusiastic that you might like to dance during your Zing fling. If so, I suggest you “do the twist.” Twisting and rotating the toy around your penis adds lively new sensations to the in-and-out strokes.
Have you ever wrapped foam insulation sleeves around exposed water pipes to protect them from freezing? My first view of Zing brought pipe insulation immediately to mind. The difference is that wrapping with Zing will stimulate rather than insulate your “pipe.”
Arcwave Zing combines some features of two other excellent penis toys: Pulse by Hot Octopuss and Body Kisses by Gender X. Like the Pulse, it works well whether or not your penis is erect, and it leads quickly to 
orgasm. Like Body Kisses, it can attach to your penis hands-free, hanging down to tickle your scrotum and encouraging nipple play.
As with both of those toys, Zing’s controls are easy to use.
Other perks:
- Fully waterproof.
- Add the stretchy band (included) to secure it for a hands-free experience.
- Made of body safe silicone.
- Charges via USB.
- Arrives in an attractive box with a handsome cloth case for storage.
Arcwave Zing is an excellent addition to any penis owner’s toy collection. You’ll discover that your thing will spring with a Zing!

Suck or Rotate? Two Strokers, reviewed by Shamus MacDuff
Suction Stroker (bottom); Rotating Stroker (top)
Both the Suction Stroker and Rotating Stroker from The One are penis strokers designed to mimic various aspects of fellatio. The One calls them “The Male Rose,” referring to a popular vulva toy called The Rose. “The Male Rose” brings to mind Juliet’s famous Shakespearean line: “What’s in a name? That which we call a rose, by any other word would smell as sweet.”
Our question is, do these strokers offer blow jobs as sweet as a partner’s mouth? Well, no, but they sure do suck and rotate!
The One Suction Stroker
For this penis owner, the Suction Stroker is the more successful of the two. Its sleeve for insertion has a small 3/4” opening, the size of a penny. Your penis must be erect and lubed to fit through the stretchable opening into the 4” deep chamber. Once you’re inside, three easily accessible buttons control five suction modes, ten vibration modes and the power level. Combine these to find many settings to your liking.
When operating, the toy clamps onto your member. You can even let it dangle hands-free while stroking your nipples or other erogenous zones. It not only sucks on your cock, but when hanging down, it also reverberates pleasantly against your balls.
Caveat: Once you’ve cleaned the Suction Stroker after use be sure to turn the motor on over the sink with the handle pointing down to eliminate any water that hasn’t already shaken out. Otherwise you’ll be sprayed by a tiny opening in the handle end when next you power up to play. The One should have mentioned this.
The Suction Stroker is 8” long and 3 1/2” wide, considerably larger and heavier (just under a pound!) than Body Kisses by Gender X. Even so, the large variety of pattern combinations is delightful, and for me, this “Male Rose” is a “keeper.”
The One Rotating Stroker
The Rotating Stroker requires hands-on at all times because it has a 2-1/2” wide mouth that doesn’t close around your penis. It has nine vibrating, rotating, thrusting patterns and a warming function. Frankly, these make me feel as if my member is a stick in a tug-of-war with my dog. Although personally I don’t find the wild thrashing actions sexy, you might like the sensations. A lubed and erect penis is required to successfully access the toy. The Rotating Stroker is 10” long, 2-1/2” wide, and 3-1/2” deep.
“Mouths” of Suction (L) and Rotating (R)
Both Strokers
These strokers are rather heavy and cumbersome compared to other penis toys I’ve reviewed. They are somewhat noisy, especially the Suction Stroker when it’s in full “enthusiastic mode.” Each toy comes with a USB magnetic charger, and they hold a charge for quite a while.
The “action ends” that envelop your penis are of silicone. Their chambers contain lots of soft silicone nubbles to surround your cock, which I enjoy. The handles that contain the motors are made of ABS plastic.
Neither stroker is waterproof. You’ll need to wash the silicone chambers of the strokers with warm water and gentle hand soap while being careful to keep water away from its handle.
Final Thoughts
I considered titling this review, “The Ray Gun and the Carp.” The Suction Stroker resembles the ray guns of science fiction fame. The opening of the Rotating Stroker looks like the mouth of a hungry carp. The “ray gun” definitely has the means to blow you away, and if you’re not careful the “carp” will swallow you in a thrash. I recommend the Suction Stroker with enthusiasm — the Rotating Stroker not so much.
Many thanks to Good Vibes for sending me the One’s Suction Stroker and Rotating Stroker in return for an honest review.

Body Kisses by Gender X: review by Shamus MacDuff
If you’re a penis owner, do you enjoy blow jobs? Do you like to lie back and let someone/ something else pleasure you? If so, you need to meet Body Kisses, a new Gender X toy sold by Betty’s Toy Box. Gender X describes it as a “vibrating suction stroker and humping toy.” It functions nicely as a penis toy! It is a fun and handy toy for senior penis owners, especially, because a hard erection is not required to enjoy it fully.
Body Kisses has a “mouth” not quite an inch wide and stretchy that opens into a 2-inch deep chamber. Insert the head of your penis—flaccid or erect—and engage the easy-to-use controls atop the toy. One button turns it on and off and changes the three speeds and four patterns. The other button triggers the suction mechanism so that air is removed and the “mouth” grips your member. By clever design the vibrating function and the sucking function can operate together or separately.
Start flaccid. Usually, I begin using Body Kisses by inserting my flaccid penis head. That’s because I find that once I’m completely erect, it takes lube and quite a bit of pushing to get my penis inside the toy’s chamber. The same is true for the Fun Factory Rainbow Amor dildo with a 1.5 inch diameter. Lube is essential for girthier insertions.
While we’re playing with dildos, the slender Fun Factory Limba Flex S (1.1 inch diameter) and the gorgeous Subana Sweetheart Glass Dildo (1.26 inch diameter) from England had an easy time sliding into the Body Kisses.
Back to me and my pleasure. My favorite way to play solo with Body Kisses is first to trigger the suction mode so that the slightly-under-half-a-pound toy clings to and hangs down from my penis. Then, while it’s just sucking, I increase the speed and alternate the patterns. As my erection rises I add the vibrating function to the sucking function so that both are at work. Finally, with the fully activated toy dangling between my legs, the external humping area buzzes my testicles while the sucking and vibrating “mouth” brings me to a climax.
Body Kisses is made of silicone and is splash proof but not immersible. It’s relatively quiet, and it is easy to hold and manipulate. Body Kisses is rechargeable with a magnetic USB cable provided. A minimal instruction sheet is included along with a 5-year warranty card. The packaging is spartan—a thin cardboard box containing a flimsy plastic holder for the toy and cable. I wished that it came with a cloth carrying bag.
This was odd. I was puzzled to discover that after cleaning and (I thought) drying the toy, water and toy cleaner bubbled out of the small hole on the side the next time I used it. I learned to avoid this by operating the vibrating function during the cleaning process until all fluids were emptied from the toy’s cavity. Gender X should have explained this issue on the instruction sheet.
What is Gender X? In November 2021, Evolved Novelties launched Gender X, a new line of sex toys that moves away from traditional gender-specific marketing. Under the motto “universal imagination,” Gender X wants us to discover our own pleasures from any specific toy. Their idea is for the possibilities of gender-neutral sex toys to be user-driven and open-ended.
I was curious about the name they’d chosen for the toy, so in the spirit of user-driven universal imagination, I first applied it to various sensitive body parts that like to be kissed. But it didn’t “kiss” my nipples, scrotum, or inner thigh, even when I applied lube around the rim of its suction hole to see if that created a seal. My cis-female partner did not find either the suction or the “hump” particularly stimulating on any of her erogenous body parts. Fortunately, using Body Kisses on my penis proved an excellent choice!
Many thanks to Betty’s Toy Box for sending Body Kisses for an honest review it. My pleasure!

Oct. 15, 2023 update:
In January 2023, Joan Price permitted me to review Body Kisses. The toy was pregnant with possibilities, and 9 months later I can now report on a full term delivery. It is my go-to toy, bar none, for solo penis pleasure. Here are some exciting ways I use Body Kisses:
- Like most people I have very sensitive nipples. Body Kisses provides hands-free penis pleasure, allowing me to manually stimulate my nipples simultaneously. That combination always brings me to orgasm.
- Turn on the toy, then double click to turn on the suction mechanism without using any speed or pattern. Return to the on/off-speed-and-pattern button and find those that give you the most pleasure.
- My own favorite is to work through the 3 speeds while the toy dangles between my legs, exciting my scrotum. Alternatively, it’s also thrilling to coordinate the separate patterns in the suction mechanism with those in the speed-and-pattern mechanism for a rollicking good time. Identify your own pleasure pattern, lean back, and enjoy!
