Gift Guide: Jimmyjane Form 6 Massager

Comment

Short Version

There are strange dynamics associated with giving sex toys as gifts. So let’s get that out of the way first. You really have to know a person well before you pick one of these up. This isn’t a stocking stuffer.

Here are the three things you should know about the Form 6 from Jimmyjane: first, the Form 6 is no gag gift because it’s quite expensive. Second, this is a gift you should buy for someone you really love (considering the premium materials, brilliant design, wireless charging, and dual-motor action). Finally, if you love yourself more than anyone else (or just can’t find anyone else for the evening), you should absolutely buy this as a special Christmas gift to yourself.

Long Version

Features:

  • Waterproof
  • Two motors: one in the small end and one in the big end
  • Wireless charging
  • Minimalist silicon design
  • 6 Vibration modes, 5 Power levels

Info:

The Form 6 is…

… the next generation in adult play, as my colleague John Biggs refers to it. This is the third generation of the Form 6 and it is much improved. In my experience with sex toys, and sex toy stores, you either pay a lot for something wonderful or pay less (still a lot) for something totally awful and useless. The Jimmyjane is actually priced low for what it is.

Having two motors allows for different levels of stimulation on different areas, and you can even switch it up to put more focus on the clitoris or the G-spot, or whatever it is that tickles your fancy. It’s obviously the perfect companion for a lonely rainy afternoon, but don’t be afraid to whip this thing out on a playdate. You’d be surprised at how much fun the Jimmyjane can be when someone else is in control of those six vibration modes and five power levels.

Buy the Form 6 for…

… your lover or yourself. The Form 6 is the best toy I’ve experienced in a good long while, so I’d highly recommend giving it to someone whose sex life you care about deeply. And whose sex life do you care about the most? Your own, right?

Because…

… sex is fun, and the Form 6 makes it funner.

But more seriously, intimacy is more than one thing. It’s more than eye contact in the missionary position, and it’s more than farting in front of one another. Intimacy is getting past embarrassment and showing off the real you, without hesitation. Giving a sex toy as a gift, especially the best vibrator I’ve ever personally come into contact with, is a representation of intimacy with your lover.

“I think it would be fun to try this. Wanna give it a whirl?”

To the same extent, putting your own name on the Jimmyjane giftbox is a form of intimacy, too. It says, I’m gonna let something else do all the work next time I’m feeling randy, and I’m going to be proud of it.
