I'm always the most excited to test a toy when it's something that is clearly made with pride. Just seeing the box that NobEssence's Fling came in let me know I was in for something good—something really, really good. In general, I find that if a company cares enough to present their product in a gorgeous package, what's inside doesn't disappoint. Okay, I admit it ; I am a packaging whore. But NobEssence's two-tone, fabric-covered, slate grey/chocolate brown oblong case, that comes apart with at a curve so evocative of the toy contained, has won me over. And the Fling, with its low profile look, its sleek and smooth touch, and its wide handle (the finger grip reminds me of a bottle opener but is damn effective in keeping a good grip on the toy, which as you will learn is needed) that leans out and then flows smoothly into a rather sizable bulbous head, is, to my eye, a sensual, sculptural highly pleasurable pleasure object.

And what it does to my pussy is even better.  

I love the coolness of the wood when I remove it from its case; it is winter in NY and damn cold, but for me that's a plus (the cool wood not the winter; I am done with winter, I tell you).  It begs me to run its silken, comely curves along my body, down my throat, over the swells of my breasts, making sure to pay special attention to my thickening nipples until I shiver and continue my journey lower. The wood, its surface made sinfully silken and glass-like by NobEssence's Lubrosity finish, glides smoothly over my curves, making my thighs dampen with arousal even before it ever touches my mound and my swollen folds that, by now, are aching to feel my attention shift. My clit throbs in tandem with my quickening heartbeat as the full, rounded head of the Fling nears it. Greedy clit. I can't resist giving it the attention it deserves. Grabbing a bit of the Sliquid Silk lube that resides on my bedside table, I make myself even wetter. In the soft light of my bedroom, my lips glisten with the combined fluids of my arousal and the lube. The combination makes the Fling feel even sexier, more sensual, and it's making me need—really need—to have it inside me. It is designed as a G-spot toy and my desire to see how it functions in its intended purpose is making it hard to control this frenzied, growing desire to have it fill me.

At the entrance to my cunt, I stop as I feel a stretch, the kind of stretch that is uncomfortable in the erotic way I like so much. The head of the Fling is larger than it appears and I take my time pushing past that slight discomfort until it fills me. Immediately, unexpectedly, it hits my G-spot and I feel warmth spreading over my bottom as I gush all over my unprepared bed. Towels, or a Liberator Throe, would definitely have been a smart move. Still, it doesn't stop me, it just feels so insanely good. The more I push and fuck myself myself with the Fling, the more I gush. I'm beyond the point of caring about my bed, sheets can be washed after all, and I don't normally gush like this. In the back of my mind I try to figure out if I somehow super-hydrated myself that day, but really can't think of anything. I stop thinking and give in to the amazing sensations deep inside me.

That bottle opener-like grip comes into play now, allowing me to maintain a firm grip as I get wetter and wetter. I experiment with the Fling, angling it up toward my belly button, feeling it press more firmly into my G-spot, pressing it deeper to hit my cervix and angling it back to feel the pressure against my butt. I think how amazing it would feel with a butt plug in my bottom; that fabulous sensation of having every hole filled to capacity makes me want to stop. Instead, I reach for my Wahl (always plugged in and at the ready) and focus sensation on my clit.  

When I come, fucking myself harder and faster with the Fling, I feel a final rush of warmth as wetness soaks my thighs and my poor sheets.

NobEssence's Fling doesn't come cheap. It's $140 on their site but, to me, it's worth every cent. Even the cost of having to drag my lazy orgasm-sated ass to the basement to wash those damn sheets.  

I never imagined using a wooden sex toy before I received this particular one in the mail. Now I can’t imagine my life without one. This is a true collector’s toy. The Nob Essence Fling goes well beyond simply completing the task it was designed for. Yes, this toy is fantastic at G-spot stimulation, both when used alone and when used with a partner, but its incredibly ingenious design and smooth finish has a lure that extends well beyond its function.

Since I have tested many different adult toys over the past ten years it is easy to become a bit jaded with some of the new inventions. I try and keep a very open mind but sometimes a new vibrator can feel like the last vibrator I tested. In other words, sometimes a cigar is simply a cigar. In this day and age, the sex toy industry is challenged to come up with new ideas since so many products for pleasure have already been produced. This wooden toy does not struggle with that problem. It is very clear to me that this was not a toy developed in a lab by engineers. This is a work of art developed with love and intention.

After reading the Nob Essence website I have learned that each of these toys are hand carved and made from a variety of woods, depending on which toy is being created. I have no idea what the “secret sauce” of their coating is but it feels deliciously smooth. The company states that each of their toys is “organic, waterproof and hypo-allergenic.” I also know that Good Vibrations is taking eco and sustainable ideals very seriously and wouldn’t carry a wooden toy that wasn’t fit for the bodies of Kings and Queens.

Aside from its incredible beauty (yes, I am a nature girl at heart), this toy’s uniqueness lies in the design of the handle and grip. First off, the handle is long, which makes it easy to use alone. Many times when a G-spot toy is developed, the designer is so concerned about how the toy functions in the interior of the user that they overlook the need to also pay attention to the exterior. For instance, I just tested another G-spot toy that got me off wonderfully when another person was sitting between my legs and using it on me (in me?), but when I used it alone it was difficult for me to get the same angle on the toy that resulted in a righteous orgasm. From my experience of playing with my G-spot, I have learned that it takes some considerably strong pressure on it to make me come. This is not the case for everyone. Some women I know barely need contact with their G-spot before they squirt. But others, like me, need serious attention and rubbing to even make them come. (And no, I don’t squirt.)

When using other toys solo in the past, I have struggled when trying to apply enough pressure to that secret mound inside myself, but not this time. The Fling’s long handle, and the fact that my fingers can fit into its grip in multiple ways, allows me the freedom to create this strong sensation on myself. I can use it in multiple ways and get enough torque on it to truly make the experience uplifting. In case it hasn’t become clear enough yet in this review, the Fling has become one of my favorite new toys and has been elevated not only to the regular use pile, but also the collector’s pile, because of its unique design and beauty.

When I was informed I would be receiving a wooden toy to test, visions of the dildo-like tools I saw at the Cairo Museum came to mind. Would it be rough? Would I get splinters? How the hell do you keep the wood from splitting? When I opened the simple packaging, my eyes opened wide like a kid at Christmas. Holy shit, this toy was beautiful.

The Nob Essence web site refers to them as sculptures and I have to agree with them. Each toy is one of a kind, made of sustainable woods and finished in a smooth hypo-allergenic polymer. The curve of the Fling reminds me of my own curves: sensual and full. The S-shape fits perfectly in the hand. Both my husband and I found it easy to hold and use. The head was a little intimidating at first, but with a little Sliquid, it slipped right in.

The first round of testing was amazing. The width of the Fling head, along with its curve, hit my G-spot perfectly. There was no wiggling, moving up or down or giving directions. Just insert and it went where it was supposed to go. My husband took the driver's seat on round one and all I had to do was lay back and moan. With a little extra clit love (yes, I still used my Magic Wand), I had one of the longest and deepest orgasms I have had in a long time. Hello Fling, you are my new best friend. Even my honey was shocked when I requested the toy over and over again. Very few toys feel this good. 

Solo testing went just as well. The handle is long enough to control easily when you are on your back and it doesn't take much effort to get the right stimulation. It is warm to the touch and maintains its temperature even when you get warmed up. Due to its shape it probably could be used as a p-spotter too, but my hubby looked at the head and gave me the no fucking way look. Seriously, this is the ultimate G-spot orgasm toy. All my other toys have been dismissed.

Clean up is really simple and, according to the company, you can even wipe it with a bit of bleach if you are sharing with a partner. It comes in a multitude of woods (of course with a little natural variation); mine is the cocobolo finish. So a few FAQ's to know before buying this toy: it cannot be submerged in water for extended periods of time (no boiling to clean) and wood will get dinged if you drop it on a hard surface. Make sure you check your toy for cracks and dings on occasion. It should not be used if the surface has been compromised. At $160, this is a luxury toy, but it is bound to last you years with proper feed and care. Run, don't walk, to GoodVibes and pick this beauty up.
