As much as I wanted to find a bone to pick with the Satisfyer Pro 2, I get why this toy is a mainstay in "best sex toys" lists: 1) It's versatile, and an ideal clitoral toy for beginner and experienced sex toy users, and 2) it seems to have cracked the design code on how to be a toy for both people with sensitive clitorises and those who want to get their pussy tenderized into schnitzel. It will have me yodeling for many spank sessions to come. 2021 October 20, Mary Frances "Francky" Knapp, “Review: I Tried the Satisfyer Pro 2 Clitoral Vibrator and It's Worth the Hype”, in VICE, archived from the original on 10 Aug 2023:

I'm not a porn addict. I only watch it when I have a spank. It usually takes less than 10 minutes to go from zipper down to zipper up. And that's it till the next time I spank. 2015 May 7, “So has anyone here done NoFap?”, in Reddit, r/ForeverAlone, archived from the original on 09 Aug 2023:
