Synopsis: A battery-powered masturbation machine for both men and
women that can be used solo and together.
Our Review:
Question: what do two horny people do when they want to have sex
but have no condom handy? In our case, we improvised and reached
for an interesting machine sent to us by the good folks at Next
Generation Products. Called the Full Stroke, this contraption
promised to do something to which very few sex machines can lay
claim; that is, provide stimulation to BOTH of us at the same
time.
 And
how, exactly, can this be accomplished? We'll answer that
momentarily, but first some facts about the Full Stroke unit.
Constructed of hard plastic, the Full Stroke is about the size of
a handheld blender (10" long, 8" high, and 4" in width), weighing
approximately 3 pounds. The main stroking assembly resembles a
large flashlight, hollowed, into which fits a stroking sleeve
lined with a soft silicone material textured with hundreds of tiny
nubs. When turned on, the machine's internal sleeve recedes into
its housing about 3-4 inches and returns to its original position
with each "stroke," and an optional dildo can be fastened to the
opposite end to provide for simulated penetration for a female. A
harness can be attached to allow for "hands-free" use and the Full
Stroke is activated by a switch in the top of the unit (two speeds
are available to the user). Finally, power is provided by a
rechargeable battery and the recharging cradle is provided in the
packaging. One fact of which males should be aware is that the
Full Stroke is designed to accommodate penile dimension NOT
exceeding 1 7/8" in diameter and 7 1/4" in length, so you porn
star studs of the world would be wise to steer clear.
Unfortunately,
the Full Stroke sat on our shelf for almost two months before the
occasion to use together it arose, which was a sudden urge to "get
busy" in our shop, but with no condoms available (strange, we
know, a sex shop without any condoms!). In a flash of brilliance,
we grabbed the Full Stroke, attached the dildo and headed for the
couch. Positioning Eddy on her back, I inserted myself into the
male end, kneeled toward her, and inserted the dildo into Eddy and
flicked the switch. Wa-la! We were now having sex without
actually, uh, having sex. Unfortunately, the machine works a
little bit TOO well for me and watching Eddy get penetrated by
this machine was more than I could stand, resulting in me
finishing fairly quickly. Clean up was fairly easy; just run warm
water through the center and it's good to go.
Since then, I've
used the Full Stroke solo with great results, though I still
prefer my trusty
Utamaro for such exercises. One drawback for us is that the
Full Stroke, while great at what it does, is VERY noisy. So noisy,
in fact, that we'd be very apprehensive to use it while our child
is asleep for fear of waking him. Also, the unit is not as easy to
use solo for women as it is for men, due to the angle at which the
machine must be positioned to gain penetration. It would be nice
if Next Generation could make some sort of floor mount for the
Full Stroke to stabilize it (like the
Sybian, for
example), which might make things easier for the ladies.

In summation,
despite the noise and somewhat bulky nature of the Full Stroke, I
enjoy using it quite a bit. At almost $200.00, it's a bit pricey
for a sex toy; but it's built like a tank and should last for
years and we certainly love the inventiveness of its creators. To
