The Lyla By Lelo: Remote Controlled Pleasure

When the Lyla arrived at my office, I had visions of the adventures I was going to have with it. I pictured myself out on the town, the Lyla's egg-shaped vibrator nestled in my ladybits with the remote control in the hands of a trusted love. Basically, I was expecting a redux of my adventures with the Cry Baby.

Then I actually took the Lyla for a test run, and those dreams were shot to hell. It's not that the Lyla isn't a good vibrator, or that the remote control doesn't adequately control it. No, the thing that shot my fantasies to hell was something far more subtle: the remote control vibrates.

To be honest, I should have known that this was going to be the case: Florabel waxed poetic about the pleasures of Lelo's SenseMotion technology (and vibrating controller) in her review of the Tiani. And in a certain light, I can see the appeal of the controller's vibrations: it gives one's partner an idea of what they're doing to you, a sense of empathy with your experience. But it also pretty much kills any chance of discreetly using this thing in public. Sure, a quick buzz or two could be passed off as a cellphone; but a constant vibration the whole time this thing is in use? Try explaining that one to your friends and family.

But even as my dreams of covert stimulation were shot to hell, I managed to find a different (and, perhaps, more exciting) use for the Lyla and her remote control.

Long time readers of this site are no doubt familiar with our ongoing frustration with the shape of dual stimulation vibes (like the rabbit and its ilk). While these can be wonderful if they fit the shape of your body, oftentimes a girl is left with a toy that doesn't quite hit her gspot and clit in the right places (in other words, a very high priced frustration). But with two completely detached (yet completely synced) sources of vibration, the Lyla offers an innovative way to get dual stimulation that fits any body.

Yes, friends: I stuck the Lyla's egg vibe in my pussy and pressed the vibrating remote control against my clit. And I am not ashamed to say that it was pretty glorious (even if the vibrations could have been a little stronger). It may not have been exactly what the fine minds at Lelo intended...but it worked out pretty well for me.
