When it comes to male masturbation tools the concept is pretty much the same, something soft and tube like to slip the penis in which squeezes the shaft to varying degrees. The look is usually either ‘vagina like’ or simply a tube with very little pretence and simply doing what it says on the tin (and some do arrive in a tin). Appealing to the male preference seems to be pretty simple with either a pink pussy, tin of lager or handy torch with silicone love tunnel inside. What is a man to do if he prefers fast cars and flashy designer threads to necking beers on a Saturday night or disappearing to his tool shed with handy torch in hand? Along comes the Cobra Libre Male Stimulator, hurtling at break neck speed to some heavy metal tune if the promotional video is anything to go by. From the outset Cobre Libre is a sex toy for men with a difference. Styled according to the chic and desirable image of the racing team themselves with the flowing lines of the Cobra and emblem resembling the badge of the same car. The colours, materials and power appeal to the discerning man and lets face it at £85 a pop would only meet the expectations of a male who paid over the odds for all his designer accessories.
Does it matter that the Cobre Libre looks more like an over sized razor to me? Not really as long as the performance under the hood of this masturbator works and it would have to work well for me to part with the princely sum it demands at the sex shop counter. The cobre is a combination of shiny plastic and silicone with two powerful motors that can be controlled individually. The power of the masturbator is very good and the noise level low so far so good.
The biggest confusion arises from the lack of somewhere to insert your dick. There is no tube, hole or comfy place to insert your penis but rather a rounded bowl to place the tip. The concept of Cobre Libre is that the vibration from the motors travels to the bowl and in turn stimulates your head and skin adjoining the tip with shaft. This takes a lot of getting used to as it also negates the need to thrust or push your penis in and out of the sex toy.
On first outing The Fun Factory toy felt nice and when I managed to find the best control settings through the pad was really nice and aroused straight away. The problem with Cobra was the ability to bring me to climax, which was just not forth coming. The experience was pleasurable and would make for great foreplay or for couples to have a mess around but there was a distinct need for me to be finished off. The Cobre was a quality toy and the re-chargeable element is great but the concept just didn’t match the build of this stimulating toy.
