Your bag is empty.
This week’s word is saddle.
saddle (n) a ride-on sex toy (as in sex saddle) that allows the user to manipulate vibration and affix various insertables
It would have been yet another uneventful night in quarantine, but thanks to her trusty saddle, Margot enjoyed her favorite cowgirl positions without a partner.
It’s been described as the most intense sex toy in the world, offering experiences comparable to “blasting your bits with a car engine.” When you’ve conquered all other sex devices, this is the final boss. We’re talking about the sex saddle and, well, giddy-up, because this thing gives the word joyride a whole new meaning.
A sex saddle is a pulsating mount, typically controlled with an external dial, that one can straddle and augment with various dildo attachments depending on the desired sensation. It facilitates the tried-and-true “cowgirl” position without a partner—a godsend for those quarantined solo. Originally designed for people with vaginas, the saddle now includes variations that aim to provide pleasure for all genders.
The pioneer of the sex saddle is undoubtedly David Lampert, an Illinois inventor who started developing his version, called the Sybian, in 1985. His popularization of the toy garnered him a Lifetime Achievement Award at the AVN “O” Awards in 2016. Similar to the terms Kleenex, Velcro and Xerox, the brand name became a generic stand-in for the product itself. Sybian is often used to refer to any type of motorized sex saddle, even though several companies—including MotorBunny, LoveBotz and the Cowgirl—produce their own versions.
Quality sex saddles don’t come cheap: A standard unit can cost upward of $1,300. You can find DIY videos on YouTube that demonstrate how to build one at home, but given how overburdened our health care workers are these days, that’s probably not a good idea.
But if you’re brave, horny and willing to, uh, pony up the dough, it may just be time to saddle up.
