Lovehoney Desire App-Controlled Prostate Vibrator – Test & Review

My Personal Experiences

I should preface this by saying that as someone who was assigned female at birth, I do not have a prostate. I do, however, have a butt – and anal play can be hugely pleasurable to anyone, no matter whether they have a prostate or not, because the butt is packed with sensitive nerve endings.

Trying Out the Desire Prostate Vibe

I have to be very warmed up to use this toy, because it’s on the larger end of anal toys I’m comfortable using. However, thanks to the hugely flexible neck at the base of the internal arm, it’s easy and comfortable to insert. The narrow neck also means that it sits comfortably once it’s in. The silicone is beautiful and smooth, not “grabby” like matte silicone can sometimes be. Even so, for anal play you’ll need plenty of water-based lube to ensure a pleasurable and safe experience. I tested the Desire Prostate Vibrator by myself first, using only the single button control on the base of the toy. Though this button is well positioned and easy to press, it really makes you realise how limited the toy’s functionaliy is without the app. You cannot control the two motors separately or alter the level of intensity – all you can do is scroll through the pre-set patterns. The thing that really let this toy down for me was the strength of the vibrations. I like my vibes powerful and rumbly, and unfortunately this toy offers neither. The vibrations are not particularly strong, even on the highest settings, and they’re very buzzy. The toy is fairly quiet, so that’s something, but honestly I’d prefer more volume if it meant I also got a little more power.

Testing The App

When I received this toy, I was still with my long-distance ex partner, so we tried it out together. The app is free and available on both Android and iOS. Once you’ve got it downloaded, it takes about 2-3 minutes to set up an account and get your toy connected. This needs to be done in a specific order, so follow the instructions in the toy’s manual. Unfortunately, the first time I tried to give my partner the controls, it took about 30 minutes to connect. A bit of a mood-killer! However, we realised later that this was probably more due to their spotty internet connection than the toy or app. Once you’re connected, a world of pleasurable possibility awaits. There are two options to choose from in the app: “Use Solo” or “Use with a Partner.” The controls in each of the two modes are virtually identical. You’ll see a split-screen, one half for each motor, with simple arrow buttons to navigate between the different pulse patterns. There’s also a finger-swipe function you can use to switch the intensity up or down. Being able to control the two motors independently makes a big difference, though I wish it was possible to switch one of them off entirely if you’re not feeling it that day for whatever reason. The app’s controls are easy and intuitive to use, and responsiveness is good. In “Partner” mode, the other person sees the control screen. It’s also possible to chat within the app, so you don’t need to switch to a different chat app if you like some dirty talk with your long-distance play.
