Most sex toys for men that we've been pitched over the years focus on replicating stimulation from the front, but that's not the only area in which men can have a pleasurable experience, and things are changing. Couples are experimenting more and taboos that existed for generations are quickly fading away. LELO knows this and has updated their Hugo prostate massager to make it better and more accessible for couples who are looking for something new to try together.
Parts of this Hugo 2 Remote review originally appeared on CouplePlaces.com.
For many men, prostate play is the pinnacle of taboo topics, and far too often, it is associated with jokes about the dreaded prostate exam that no guy looks forward to but all of us will experience at some point in our lives. The reality, though, is that things are changing, and despite these preconceptions, anal play can go both ways - both men and women can enjoy the sensation.
Not only is this about pleasure, though, but prostate massage can also be an important - drug-free - way of supporting men's health and reducing some of the age-related challenges that men face in terms of urination problems, pain, and inflammation due to prostatitis and general mental well-being.
We're fans of LELO for their fantastic female sex toys for women, so when they asked us to check out their latest - a remote prostate massager designed specifically with couples in mind, we thought that would be something interesting to check out for you guys. Let's take a look.
About Hugo 2 Remote
Hugo 2 Remote and the Hugo 2 (same insertable but without the SenseMotion remote) fits a great hole in the market so to speak. While many male prostate toys are intimidating and designed for advanced users or cheaply made flimsy pieces of plastic, making them more of a novelty than anything else, Hugo 2 Remote continues LELO's tradition of producing high-quality products that both men and women can enjoy. I think this is an especially important thing to consider since, for many heterosexual men, anything related to anal pleasure has a stigma associated with it, and quite frankly, in this space, many of the manufacturers have targeted the gay market.
On the other hand, this device has a beautiful design and material design that is comparable with premium female pleasure toys and is something that is far more than simply utilitarian, featuring an explicitly masculine design.
This makes it a great fit for couples looking to take prostate play to the next level. The Hugo 2 Remote from LELO, with its eight powerful settings and innovative SenseMotion™ technology, might just hit the spot he's been looking for. This upgraded model boasts two motors for unmatched stimulation and is designed to offer more intense sensations, ensuring an experience that's 20% more powerful than its predecessor and potentially that much more pleasurable, too.
The SenseMotion™ technology is particularly impressive, allowing you to control the vibratory intensity by simply tilting or moving the remote. This means you can personalize your experience and intensify vibrations to your liking for heightened pleasure. Unlike with many female pleasure toys where the focus is on thrusting or holding a toy against a particularly sensitive spot, this allows one's partner to tease the wearer or integrate it into an overall intimate environment. While some others have remotes, the key here is that this one is designed to be intuitive and easy to use so that it can be part of your overall sexual experience and not something where prostate massage is the only focus.
Finally, one thing that can be a challenge to couples who may have tested the waters with a finger or maybe even a more basic small toy is that while this is not "small," ... Hugo 2 is also less intimidating and frankly feels sensual even just holding it in the hand. I think this is a particularly important thing to bring back up again since too many male sex toys feature an almost industrial look and feel. On the other hand, this one is the perfect fit for couples looking to try something together. So that really means that the male partner needs to feel comfortable receiving it just as the female partner needs to feel comfortable using it as well.
Hugo 2 Remote certainly feels like "part of the family" for couples who may have already included other LELO products, such as the SONA 2 Cruise, TIANI 3 couples massager, or the Smart Wand 2, into their relationship. In fact, for couples who may have started exploring anal pleasure together using a unisex toy such as the SORAYA Anal Beads vibrator, Hugo 2 Remote is an excellent step up for the male partner to more fully experience the joys of prostate pleasure vs. simply stimulating the nerves around the entrance of his anus.
Hugo 2 Remote Is Best For:
Couples who are already experienced in the world of exploring anal sex on the male partner and may have already tried basic prostate play but are looking to try something a bit more advanced and take their intimacy to the next level with a more satisfying, intense, and personalized pleasure experience.
Pros:
- Eight powerful pleasure settings and SenseMotion™ technology allow for a personalized experience and heightened pleasure.
- Two motors in the base and tip for unmatched stimulation and more intense sensations.
- User-friendly with prolonged battery life, ensuring a longer-lasting and seamless experience.
- Color options include classic elegant black and also green making it more fun and approachable
- Waterproof makes it easy to clean
Cons:
- The advanced features may take some time to get used to for less technical couples
- Fans of the original Hugo prostate massager may be disappointed that Hugo 2 is slightly smaller - but from our perspective, this makes it much better for intermediate couples since it is also less intimidating and feels better in the hand when you initially pick it up out of the box.
Hugo 2 Remote is available on LELO's website for $219 while the Hugo 2 is available for only $179.
