It’s Going to Be Tough Masturbating With My Hands After Using the Masturball

Developed by CalExotics , the Optimum Power Masturball looks as if it's a military defense device from Star Wars. It's sleek, black, and spherical. When I touched the power button, I was half convinced it was going levitate and start shooting laser beams.

Upon first glance, the Masturball looks nothing like a sex toy. It simply looks like a distant cousin to a Magic 8-Ball. Then I unscrewed the top and the bottom of the sphere, and it became clear what I was supposed to do.

The diameter of the ball is about 4.5 inches, so depending on your size, your head, and potentially even part of your shaft will peek through the top of the ball. I, personally, don't mind this. When masturbators like the Masturball are smaller, they're easier to grip and control. If you want to stimulate your member in its entirety, you can simply move the device rapidly up and down your junk. This is what I did with the Masturball. (Spoiler: It worked.)

After securing the Masturball around the base of my penis, I turned on the toy. It has two different motors, each controlled by buttons directly to the side of the power button.

The first is to turn on the run-of-the-mill vibrator. The Masturball has 10 independent vibrating functions, which is all fine and dandy, but not that exciting considering every sex toy these days seems to have a superfluous number of vibration functions. That said, the vibrations felt as to be expected. But what was a game changer was the three levels of compression. That is what typical masturbator sleeves have been missing. As men, we want more than silky smooth silicone and vibrations; we want our dicks squeezed.

The Masturball does feel like someone is in fact gripping your penis, and it feels great.

There are, sadly, a few downsides to the Masturball. First and foremost, it's pretty noisy due to the motor. Still, it's not incredibly loud, so if you're watching porn at a normal volume, you should be able to drown out the mechanical sound.

Second, I actually didn't love whatever the insides were made of. I much prefer the smooth texture of a Fleshlight .

Last but not least, I wish there was more power. I'm not saying I want the Terminator's arm crushing my dick, but shit, the compressions felt really good, and they would feel even better if the strength of the compression was harder. That, however, might not be accomplishable using the USB-rechargeable battery. CalExotics would need to create a Masturball that actually plugs into the wall while it's in use. This would mean you'd be limited by a chord, but also, how far from your bedroom or bathroom do you plan to take this thing?

It also means the Masturball would likely go up in price, since it would require a stronger motor because right now the Masturball is a downright steal. In fact it's currently 35% off on Amazon with free shipping, bringing down the price from $79.99 to $51.76.

The bang is definitely worth the buck, literally. In case it wasn't clear, I had a very strong and powerful orgasm using this thing.

Without a doubt, the Masturball is a must have for the masturbating sleeve aficionado. Hopefully, CalExotics is able to increase the power when they create the second generation. If they do, I highly suggest they call it Masturball 2: The Vice Grip.
