Firstly, may I offer up my very humble apologies to the wonderful people at Vibrator.com and their multitude of sex toys for their infinite patience for the time it has taken me to get to grips with this product review. I’ve had this rather intriguing item about my lodgings for a little while, but unfortunately my workload recently has rather taken the toll in relation to my kink enjoyment.

Luckily, last night the perfect opportunity arose for us to give the Fetish Fantasy Series Tilt Master a really good testing session. But first, the preliminaries.

I always like to consider toys that both Mister and I can use together. I’m considerate that way. Our previous choice, the door-cuffs were a perfect choice for that purpose and they are among my favourite playthings. So when Vibrator.com were gracious enough to allow another item to be reviewed, we jumped at looking to finding a similar decision. When we came across this item, Mister’s eyes lit up. The image as you see here is great fun and when we unwrapped the package the box itself has some interesting positions to whet your appetite with and to act as inspiration for your own antics.

The product itself is termed as piece of inflatable sex furniture. A sex chair!!! Great! I thought, What a perfect way to comfortably screw around outside of the bedroom! Yes, my mind does occasionally work like that. You should hear what Mister had to say. Sure, the sofa is a brilliant place for impromptu sex, and the possibilities of the bathroom get my mind in a whir, but the Tilt Master seemed to be a perfect all rounder.

When it arrived, it was packaged discretely and with care as you come to expect from Vibrator.com. I also love the little personal touch of the packets of lube and company stickers inside too. This time there were some ‘his ‘n hers’ heating and tingling sachets. I’ve garnered quite a collection of the stickers now, and I really want to do something with them. Any thoughts?

When we took out the deflated product, what struck us was the time it would potentially take to inflate. If you consider this item, I would also recommend that you have an electrical pump too. I do, but the batteries were dead at the time. And so unfolded half an hour (yes, 30 whole minutes) of huffing and puffing from myself and Mister. A joint effort. This little point aside, as it inflated, it began to take shape. The material is like suede, soft and velvety. It picks up dust quite easily as a result – as I found out from storing it under the bed for that moment when we could use it. Probably just a sign I should vacuum more often…

Once inflated, it takes on an elongated crescent-shaped and has two handles on either side for leverage. It’s a good size, just under a metre in width and half a metre high I would imagine, if fully inflated.

Tip: don’t fully inflate it.

Mister and I are not the largest of people, average I would say, and I’m a relatively little person. Yet, this Tilt Master is prone to gaining punctures easily. After our first try-out session (Mister, being quite enticed by the thing, receiving a lovely blow-job from yours truly) we noticed its first deflation occur. The chair comes with a puncture kit, and after using it properly only twice, it’s gained a couple of major punctures along the seams that the kit wouldn’t cover if you used this frequently.

I did find that it’s rather useful for easing a sore back after a long hard day’s work, however. And it makes me smile to see it there – my Sex Space Hopper of sorts.

Last night, we had a real chance to test it fully, with different positions and all. Saturday night and a bottle and a half of wine downed between us (drink responsibly, guys and gals…!) we were in perfect shape to use it. Add in a little thunder and lightning and the atmosphere was electric (<– see what I did there? I know, I’m rubbish at jokes). The lights went off in our living room and as I went to collect our little friend in a foil wrapper, we both took the moment to get a little naked. As our eyes adjusted to the moonlight, I could begin to pick out his features. The odd flash of lightning adding to the dramatic mood. We had previously played a game the winner of which would get to ‘receive’ some sexy time on the chair. I lost as usual when I place a bet against him, so Mister was placed ready and waiting for my return to the room.

Mister found it worked quite well for its temporary purpose as a means to get my lips round him. Being as I am, I was quite drawn to the fact my knees were rubbing against the coarse carpet as I knelt down. When it came to straddling him, however, the width of the thing was just a little too wide for my legs, but it was still fun trying to find the right angle.

We hadn’t inflated the chair too fully as we knew what would happen if we did, and so the slight give it had made it very comfortable as it moulds to your body shape. Soon it was my turn to feel the benefits of the chair and Mister had a grand time instructing me to bend over it, face down as well as with my back to it. The handles were just right for levering myself against him to boot.

Unfortunately, the amount of time we had been using it for had taken its toll and I found myself sinking into the chair as it slowly deflated around me. It was hard to stay still and eventually we had to give up and resort to a more stable bed to seal the wager properly between us.

This has been a mixed review and sums up our experience of the chair. The concept is brilliant and the dimensions of the Tilt Master allow it to be suitable for lots of experimentation. Added to the fact it’s inflatable is that it can be easily stowed away for safe-keeping.

On the downside, however, the time it takes to inflate is far too long – even with a battery-powered inflator it took a good 15-20mins of supervised time – in case the nozzle disconnected itself. The material isn’t dust-friendly and it is very prone to punctures.

I really want to recommend the Tilt Master, and I can see us using it again when we have a lot of free time to ourselves. But if you yourselves are wishing to try out sexy, imaginative and fun furniture in your sex life, I may suggest you look to spending the relatively considerable price tag on something a little more reliable and durable.
