Tantus Steam Hunk Super Soft review: steampunk textured dildo

"Am I going to enjoy using it as much as I enjoy look­ing at it?" is a recur­ring theme in my reviews. It was a source of pro­cras­ti­na­tion with test­ing the impec­ca­bly artis­tic Tantus Steam Hunk, but rest assured: I wasn't dis­ap­point­ed. As with all the best dil­dos, every orgas­mic clench keeps me com­ing and com­ing more.

Steam Hunk's steampunk aesthetic

A stu­dent in a class I mod­eled for summed up steampunk's aes­thet­ic as retro-​futuristic. Her exact words were oh-​so-​articulately, "it's like the future, but from the past." Think of how peo­ple from the ear­ly 20th cen­tu­ry imag­ined the future to be, if steam remained the main source of pow­er. Gears, hydraulic tubes, pipe thread­ing, riv­ets, lay­ered sheet met­al: an open­ly mechan­i­cal appear­ance where the com­po­nents' form expli­cates their func­tion in the over­all gizmo.

Tantus's Steam Hunk is a sexy sculp­ture that incor­po­rates this retro-​futurism. Not least, it comes in a shim­mery cop­per (or gun­metal black) that real­ly brings out the mock met­al tex­tures… includ­ing the sim­u­lat­ed hydraulic cham­ber testes, which add to the abstract­ed phal­lic look. Since the Steam Hunk result­ed from Tantus's col­lab­o­ra­tion with SheVibe (known for their art­work), I wouldn't expect any­thing less.

Exaggerated mushroom head and flexible shaft

The Steam Hunk's tip has a defined coro­nal ridge to clench around; its tapered width pro­trudes to 2" and, just under the head, recedes down to 1.7". Cast in Tantus's Super Soft sil­i­cone, it has squish to it. Think of a some­where between the firm­ness of a stale gum­my bear and that of a stack of mousepads.

For most users, it's a sigh of relief that it isn't as rigid as the orig­i­nal Tantus toys. The tex­ture is more for­giv­ing as a result, rather than being pret­ty but feel­ing like vagi­nal rug­burn. I can also insert just a bit while bend­ing the shaft enough to grind my clit on the tex­tures to warm up.

On the flip side, the flex­i­bil­i­ty makes the Steam Hunk less effec­tive as a G‑spot dil­do for me. Yeah, I can get the head to latch just past my pubic bone, and I can clench to get some G‑spot stim­u­la­tion, but not enough to get me off on its own. Not even with the bulging coro­nal ridge (which is a lit­tle less pro­nounced than the Avant D4's). It's sat­is­fac­to­ry for peo­ple who want some­thing squishy to jig­gle in place, but that's not me.

The A-spot orgasms feel fucking good

The mag­ic hap­pens when I push the toy in a deep­er and the ridge is a lit­tle below my cervix, press­ing against my A‑spot. As always with deep pen­e­tra­tion, I use short thrusts. My orgasms' build-​up is a lit­tle slow, but that gives my front wall time to savor the fine sur­face tex­tures on the shaft, whether I want a lit­tle or a lot.

I find that when I aim the tip for­ward, toward my A‑spot, the tex­ture doesn't feel as harsh. The shaft is flex­i­ble enough that I can bend so that the base is direct­ed away from the shal­low­est, most sen­si­tive part of my front wall.

When I come, my vagina's clench­ing push­es the Steam Hunk out, giv­ing me a sud­den jolt as the ridges slide at just the right time. The girth, tex­ture, clench­ing, and resis­tance syn­er­gize, alter­nat­ing between my vagi­na push­ing out and my hand push­ing in. The hard­er I come and clench, the more syn­chro­nous stim­u­la­tion I get. I total­ly melt into my bed, as I should.
