» Better Than Chocolate? Believe it, Baby.
As I sit at my desk facing the mid-morning snacky cravings, it’s hard for me to believe that any sex toy could possibly be better than a meltingly delicious bar of chocolate. Possibly one with peanut butter involved. Or some kind of honey-caramelly-shortbready goodness. But I digress! The real issue at hand here is that one of our newest luxury vibes, Nomi Tang’s innovative and beautiful Better Than Chocolate, is already a staff favorite. It’s intuitive, lovely, and functional as all get-out. But is it REALLY better than chocolate? Read on, and we’ll put it to the test.
Better Than Chocolate: As I open the top of the jewelry case-esque box, I’m met with plush white velvet and a glimpse of the vibe’s generous swoops and graceful curves. Looks interesting. With the push of a button, the vibration starts; as I slide a finger along the iPod-ish control, the vibration increases, decreases, and works its way through thumpa-thumpa patterns like magic.
Actual Chocolate: As I rip open the serrated edge of a plastic-coated wrapper, I’m met with the smell of awesome. I bite into it and let it melt on my tongue. It tastes great, and I’m only slightly distracted by the knowledge that I (and my coworkers) will soon have to deal with my sugar rush, crash, and cranky headachiness. But live for the moment, I always say.
Better Than Chocolate: I can’t help but notice that the shape of this lovely toy is different from any other we carry. The wide surface area and carefully designed contours mean that nearly anyone could have a good time with this sucker. Girls and boys of all stripes, regardless of their genital happenings, would revel in the widespread rumblings and buzzings this shape provides. I can hardly wait to take it home with me.
Actual Chocolate: I can’t help but notice that having eaten the whole thing, I only want more. (Which is fine — I’m a big advocate of honoring your cravings, if you couldn’t already tell.) But the thing I’m craving even more than another candy bar is a little shuteye. Is it naptime yet?
To be fair, if I were at home right now and able to indulge in both of these things at once — a minute with the Better Than Chocolate, a bite of actual chocolate, and so on — I would be absurdly happy. Snacking, orgasms, and napping? Yes, please.
And so, friends, I give you my conclusion: both the Better Than Chocolate and Actual Chocolate are excellent choices for the pleasure-seeker in all of us. And if you put a gun to my head and made me choose, I’d close my eyes, grit my teeth, and say “Pull the trigger, man.” «
