Cosmosutra Push My Buttons

“This bed looks like a sex shop!” declared Ruf incredulously.

It was the morning after I had driven along a large swathe of Britain’s favourite motorways, the car laden down with the latest goodies from my lovely suppliers at Ann Summers, only to have two packages from other emporia arrive by mail at his address as well.

Stockings, dressing up outfits, two varieties of dual-action vibrator, a bullet vibe, a clitoral stimulator, lube and some sex toy cleaner wipes, complete with their discarded packaging, were all strewn across the already crumpled duvet.

It’s not that Ruf minds getting to be the guinea pig when it comes to the reviews but the sex toy drawers at his flat are becoming overloaded and I can see all the signs of a ‘cull’ being initiated over the next few weeks. However, as I told him last time, it’s not as if you can ebay a reviewed vibrator – even if it has only been used once. And it seems a shame to just discard perfectly good toys, especially as you’re not supposed to just throw them in the bin. Cue visions of arriving at the local tip and enduring the probing questions from the man on the gate in his attempts to ensure that I place my refuse in the correct receptacle.

In any case, Ruf pays no heed to my framed Fantasy Fanny painting which holds pride of place on the wall overlooking the bed, so it seems strange that he is concerned about his Dad paying a visit and looking askance at him for a couple of bits of coloured silicone hanging out of a cupboard.

Anyway, prior to getting down and dirty with the serious equipment, like the latest incarnation from the rampant rabbits range – The Big O, we warmed up slowly with the new clitoral stimulator, Push My Buttons from Ann Summers Cosmosutra range.

These toys have been developed with the experts at Cosmopolitan Magazine ‘to provide the modern woman with the perfect sex toys to reflect her deepest desires’.

Nicely presented, it comes in a cute black and pink box with pink writing, proudly asserting that it is a ‘divine clitoral stimulator’ and sits inside in its own little pink lined nook. The blurb on the back claims that it is the perfect toy for a first foray into toy play – although I should stres that it is not suitable for anal use.

At 5.25 inches (13cms) from base to tip and 1.5 inches (3.5cms) across at its widest point, the Cosmosutra Push my Buttons Clit Stim is a bit like a dumpy curved black sausage, but its bulbous base is ergonomically designed to fit comfortably into the palm of your hand leaving the business end exposed.

It’s made from a really nice silky, smooth material (the website says this is ABS plastic) with a soft, ribbed silicone panel at the tip and is completely waterproof.

Powered by 2xAAA batteries (provided), it has six different vibration settings – three speeds/intensities of continuous buzz, followed by a long, hard, jabbing pulse, a short, light buzzing pulse and a fabulous va-va-vooooom throb. These are controlled by a two-button interface – the top one for on/off and the lower to select the mode.

After a few weeks apart, we had already got ourselves physically reacquainted once that morning but, following breakfast in bed and whilst Ruf looked on, I decided to get myself warmed up for his next set of attentions.

Surrounded by the debris of my new playthings, I applied a blob of lube to the tip and took the Push My Buttons through its various settings. This activity certainly put my delicate lady parts in a very good mood, whilst Ruf seemed to be enjoying the scenic and well-earned rest. The vibrations run the length of the device but are concentrated at the tip so you can run it over your body’s most erogenous parts, go straight for the clit or be more adventurous by using the device internally – it is ideally shaped to slide inside and stimulate the G Spot.

After the more frenetic coupling of earlier that morning, I had in mind a gentle awakening rather than getting straight to the point but the toy had other ideas and, whilst I was rubbing the tip over my labia for a few moments, its design meant that it naturally homed in on my little button beneath its protective hood.

And this is one of the selling points on the website, which recommends it as the ideal toy for couple play – especially where the man struggles to find his lady’s clit. The slim shape means that it only needs to be aimed in the right general area, before automatically sliding onto the right spot. If you change the angle slightly, the vibrations that extend along the body of the device can tickle the length of the inner labia.

Ruf, of course, does not need any further instruction in this department and, whilst I was just about to check out the internal properties, he rather jumped the gun. Fed up with being an onlooker, he decided to indulge in a spot of audience participation and flipped me over onto all fours.

Maintaining the pressure on my clit, I selected va-va-voom and, just as I was about to climax, he slid in from behind to join the party. As I continued to flip through the variations to alter the sensations, the proceedings came to a very satisfying conclusion

My only complaint at this juncture was the buttons. They’re just a fraction too small and flat to be easily controlled in the throes of passion when there is a lot of lube and other moisture around. I lost track of where the on/off and mode buttons were. I kept switching it off instead of achieving the next level of stimulation.

It’s not as powerful as some of the bigger wand clitoral stimulators but, because it’s so concentrated into the tip, it works very effectively. As usual, my menopausal state meant that it took a bit longer to get the party started but, once in full swing, it was all very enjoyable.

Overall, I would say that the Cosmosutra Push my Buttons Clit Stim is a good toy for beginners, either solo or as an introduction to couple play, particularly if, as was highlighted, the gentleman is having a problem with the female body design and the lady has been unable to verbally or physically guide him sufficiently.
