Here are some of Zachary's favorite products.


Lelo Hugo Prostate Massager

The best part of the Hugo is how easily and quickly it switches between vibrations speeds. It uses a hand held remote and you simply tilt it to change the vibration intensity. When completely horizontal, the intensity of vibrations is at 10%. When completely vertical, the massager goes to 100% vibration intensity. Another cool fact is that the Hugo actually localizes the vibrations. So when I tilt the toy back towards me, it intensifies vibrations towards the back of the Hugo. When I tilt the remote to the left, it intensifies vibrations on the left side of the Hugo, and so on. Lastly, it has a perineum vibrator connected to it as well, which I like since my perineum is seldom stimulated during sex, even though if feels really pleasurable as a highly erogenous zone.

Aneros Vice 2 Vibrating Prostate Stimulator

The biggest strength of the Vice 2 is its shape. When I use it, it really hits my prostate perfectly, leading to a swift and powerful orgasm. I like the way it gently nestles inside of me.

Flip Zero Masturbating Sleeve

This sex toy has various textures in the sleeve itself. In my experience, most masturbating sleeves or Fleshlights have one smooth silicone-like texture. The Flip Zero has a bunch of different ridges and grooves, so it feels different on each part of my penis. Also, I love the vibrations too!

pjur Backdoor

pjur actually has two different backdoor lubes. The one that's water-based is perfect for use with toys. The one that's silicone-based is ideal for anal sex. I like pjur because it's one of the few lubes I've used where you don't need to reapply constantly. You squirt on the toy (or penis) once before playing, and you're ready to go!

Commando Silicone Cock Ring

Sometimes you don't need to reinvent the wheel. This is one of those classic cock rings (that you put around your testicles too) that just works. I like that the texture is smoother than metal. There's a litttttttttttle give. Not nearly enough that the product doesn't work, but it's a nice material to have against your junk.

We-Vibe Vector

This one is similar to LELO's Hugo -- it's both a perineum and prostate massager that vibrates with a remote control. The Vector, though, is a tad bit smaller, so it's better for beginners. Personally, I outgrew mine. I definitely prescribe to the saying "the bigger the better," especially when it comes to prostate toys. But if you're new to anal play, the Vector is great!
