Japanese sex toys are often the stuff of wonder and are the ultimate synergy of design and functionality. Decency laws in Japan prevent manufacturers there from creating or selling sex toys which resemble a man’s penis, which is why many sex toys from Japan appear to have animal faces or are made to resemble animals or some other fictional character like the infamous Hello Kitty vibrator; but despite these decency laws, the Japanese have exceptionally liberal attitudes about sex and sexuality. As a culture, Japan is perhaps one of the more sexualized of any on earth, and when they design a sex toy, you can be sure that it’s going to deliver maximum pleasure. The Fukuoku 9000 Fingertip Massager is the latest addition to my toy collection, and once again I’ve been impressed with Japanese sexual innovation.

You might not think that a vibrator as small as the Fukuoku 9000 could deliver as much power as it does, but don’t underestimate this stealthy little jewel of the Orient. So let’s pull back the rice paper curtains a bit and take a look at this amazing wonder.

The Fukuoku 9000 is small, only two inches in length and about as wide as your finger. It has an adjustable finger-fitting ring which allows you to slip it over your own and tiny compressed springs hold it in place. Once you slip it on, it seemingly becomes an extension of your own hand and fingers and doesn’t slip off which is important because the last thing you’d want in the throes of ecstasy is to lose your vibrator. But what makes this vibrator so much fun are the three textured stimulating silicone massage heads which fit over the tip of the Fukuoku 9000, giving this vibe multiple ways to deliver the pleasure. So why is it called the Fukuoku 9000? Because this small toy produces an amazing nine thousand orgasmic vibrations per minute! Each of the non-toxic textured pleasure tips provides you with a unique way to experience this toy that you might find it hard to pick a favorite, they’re all equally amazing. The design of this toy is also such pure simplicity that it’s genius. There’s no fussing around with buttons or settings, just a simple on/off switch and away you go. And it’s so quiet too, being one of the quietest vibrators I’ve ever used, which is perfect for those nights when you might want to give yourself some pleasure but you’re not quite sure if you want to wake him up (*wink!) It’s so quiet that the only thing that might wake him up could be your own squeals and moans!

Included with the Fukuoku 9000 vibrator is a black carrying pouch, the three textured pleasure tips, and four button cells. (The Fukuoku 9000 is powered by two AG-13/LR44 Button Cells which retail for about U.S. $2.50 a pair to replace.) The carrying case is perfect for storing your vibrator or for discreetly hiding it in your purse for those times when you want to take it with you making this the perfect Take Everywhere massager.

Using the Fukuoku 9000 Fingertip Massager

Anyplace your fingers can roam, the Fukuoku 9000 can roam too. Think about that for a moment, and think about how integral our hands and fingers are to our sexual experiences. When we masturbate we use our hands to touch and caress our own bodies, and when we reach for our lover, we reach with our hands and fingers first. Imagine now adding some extra electricity to those first intimate touches and you can imagine how this toy can overwhelm your senses and drive both you and your lover wild!

My Fukuoku 9000 has become the go-to vibe in my sex toy drawer when I just want to lay back and give myself an orgasm. I’m craving that release, that self surrender and those private moments where I can wander thru my own fantasies. I turn on my vibrator, feel the powerful sensations flow thru my body as I slide it down over my skin, stopping to tease my nipples which grow hard instantly as I guide the soft textured tip over the pink bead of flesh. Maybe I stay here for a bit because it feels so good making my nipples stiffen like this. I feel myself getting wet, and my hand instinctively reaches lower as my legs gently part just enough to allow my hand to slip between my thighs, my index finger extends with my vibrator latched around it, finding my clit. When the vibrator touches my engorging clit I feel that first jolt flow throughout my entire body, my muscles tense and then relax as I settle into my own space, my body complies, yields, as I press harder, allowing the vibrator to do the work as I move my fingers in and around my arousing flower, growing ever more aroused as the instants pass into moments, and then finally… release, bliss and contentment.

This is how I used my new toy the first time I played with it, but as I’ve said, only your own imagination will dictate how you can use this. I’ve also used it when performing oral sex on my male partner which he absolutely loves! Some gentle stroking at the base of his scrotum, up along and around the root of his cock, and then up and down along his shaft as I hold him in my mouth. Or even if I just want to hold his cock in my hand and use the vibrator to massage him into a rock hard frenzy! This truly is a toy that couples and both men and women can enjoy and find hours upon hours of delightful lovemaking.

The Fukuoku 9000 is an inexpensive and completely versatile sex toy which anyone can enjoy. This is a perfect toy for some discreet pleasure or as a dedicated clitoral vibe if you’re like me and have categories of sex toys, but it’s certainly one of the most fun to play with. Battery life was about what I expected – I got several hours of powerful play before I found the need to change out the button cells, but like most sex toys, having fresh batteries always improves the performance. Cleaning was also very easy, I use the Berman Center Intimates antibacterial toy cleaner after each use before I put my toys away as you all should too. The silicone pleasure tips are also very easy to change out as well as clean.

For such a small vibrator I was truly impressed. Not only because of the Fukuoku 9000’s Japanese origins, but because it just simply works good, and when making choices about which toys are right for you, what works good should be the first consideration. This is a lazy geisha favorite and comes highly recommended. It’s a great value and all around fun vibe to play with.

Sayonara!
