August was a doozy of a month. Between 14-hour workdays and a flash-flood-car disaster, I didn't have time to work out, much less have sex (or even squeeze in a quick session with my vibrator). A month without orgasms!? A travesty!
Clearly, things had to shape up, so I was thrilled when I saw the Sexerciseball (link is so not safe for work) online. It's similar to your usual exercise ball, except that you can attach some naughty appendages and bounce away.
Issues With Balls
I hate the one at my gym -- while my classmates bounce happily away, I struggle. My troubles with body placement causes me to repeatedly pull my groin. Why would I ever think that solo sex on an exercise ball was a good idea?
Because as far as sex toys go, it just looked cool.
Click to read how Steph's experiment went.
The Sexerciseball is decorated with graphics of suggested positions circling a hard plastic cap. Keep the cap on and it remains an exercise ball. Unscrew the cap and screw in one of several available vibrating attachments, and it's all about sex.
I ordered mine with the Rabbit Vibrator and the Precious Realistic Vibrating Cock attachments, which also came with remote controls and water-based lubricant.
I couldn't wait to try it. I immediately inflated the ball using the accompanying foot pump, and removed the plastic, well, package from its packaging.
Intimidating Accessories
OK, so the penis scared me. At 6 inches by 1.5 inches, it seemed massive. Squatting over the ball, my legs trembling, I was afraid to let the Sexerciseball -- and its attachment -- bear my entire weight. Even using a Trojan Ecstasy condom -- which already had enough lubricant on it to make any additional lube a moot point -- I could do nothing more than hover. (Counting down ... daring myself ... nothing worked.)
I finally gave up and moved on to the Rabbit Vibrator. I had owned a regular rabbit in the past, once upon a time, and remembered loving the way its small rabbit ears tickled my clit. And so I screwed this new one on, sheathed it in a condom, and slowly lowered myself down. Success!
More Complicated Than Carnal?
And it would have continued to be a success had my already-existing exercise-ball neuroses not interfered.
Say what you will, but I loves me the missionary position, and I especially loves me the missionary position when it's fast and deep. The Sexerciseball provides me with fast. (I, after all, control the speed of my bouncing) and it provides me with deep, but it doesn't provide the foreplay. And when you're vibrator's attached to a giant bouncy ball, it's tough to take out the time to tease your clit.)
Rolling With It
What bothered me more than that, however, was the persistent fear that I was going to lose my balance: perhaps take off rolling across the living room floor with the vibrator still inside me, knocking things over as I went by, eventually injuring both myself and my vibe.
For those a lot less klutzy than me, the Sexerciseball is a unique alternative to your usual hand-held vibrator. Like lingerie, its power may be in the visual more than the practical aspect, so couples who like to watch one another get off may dig it. As for me, I'll just stick to the Pocket Rocket.

Sexyballs™ is as well known as fitness ball, Swiss ball, Stability ball, Gym ball, Beach ball yoga ball, Pilate’s ball, Sexercise ball and Fitball. You can easily use Sexyballs™ in the comfort of your own home!
Sexyballs™ is such a simple sexercise concept. Using the Sexyballs™ is a safe and very effective way to get fit whilst having sex with your partner. This sexercise method is far from being a trend and is guaranteed to provide an enjoyable sexercise alternative for both heterosexual and homosexual, catering for the occasional bedroom user to the elite athletes.
The Sexyballs™ (or 'Swiss ball equipment' as it was commonly recognized as when it first introduced in Europe). Approximately 1960's, therapists in Switzerland used Swiss balls as an instrument in the area of physical rehabilitation to assist in therapy for young and old adults with neurological problems. This system have changed and the client group has expanded to include adults with mobility problems, people with back injuries, the fitness industry, pregnant women, seniors, the classroom and even in the workplace.
The Sexyballs™ variety has a glossy finish and is soft and comfortable to lie on when sexercising. The Sexyballs™ have a weight tolerance of 300kg, and the PVC used for making the balls is of Burst Resistant Quality and latex free. Sexyballs™ is a new way of sexercise activity, which improves fitness and wellbeing.
How to choose correct Sexyballs™ size?
The general rule for choosing the correct ball size for core exercises is having your knees and hips bent to 90 degrees (thighs parallel to floor) when sitting on Sexyballs™. This is the minimum ball size and for some people prefer a larger ball, where hips are higher than knees. Don't go by photos of models sitting on balls. Typically they sit on a ball much larger than they would train on as it shown in pictures.
Consider how you will use the Sexyballs™ and your body characteristics (see below). In addition, keep in mind that if you are a novice sexerciser and/or have poor balance, a larger ball will provide more stability and support, thus making sexercising easier (muscles won't work as hard).
To avoid being disappointed that your Sexyballs™ is smaller than you expected, test out the ball size before placing an order. Nearly everyone under inflate a ball because they are so firm (like a rock) inflated to its maximum diameter. To see if a 55cm Sexyballs™ is right for you, place a mark on a wall 20 inches high (16 in. for a 45cm ball), and squat next to it. Consider that you will sink down a few inches (depending on your weight and amount of inflation). This is approximately how tall the ball will be when sitting on it. Get a larger size if you don't like this height!
GENERAL GUIDELINES:
Just remember, your height ball size (max. height/diameter)
less than 5' 0" 45 cm (18 in.)
5' 0" to 5' 6" 55 cm (22 in.)
5' 7"- 6' 1" 65 cm (26 in.)
6' 2" - 6' 8" 75 cm (30 in.)
6' 9" and up 85 cm (34 in.)
Use Sexyballs™ for Core Exercise and Sexercise Benefits.
Core/Spinal Stabilizers are known as deep abdominal muscles that partially wrap around the spine or common known as your natural weight belt. They play a very significant role in good posture and back care of your body.
So apart from being efficient, multipurpose and safe to use as part of your sexercise agenda, Sexyballs™ has a huge role to play in injury prevention. Sexyballs™ is good to sit on as an alternative, back-friendly seat, so that you are training the deep muscles on a daily basis and improve your sex life.
Core/Spinal Stabilization refers to the interaction of deep spinal muscles (quadratus lumborum, internal oblique deep fibres, transversus abdominus, multifidus.) which support the spine during our normal daily sexercise activities.
The more visible muscles, rectus abdominus, internal and external obliques, all contribute to the highly regarded known as "6-pack", yet they do not support the spine during sport or work. It is only when training is carried out in an unstable environment like having sex on a Sexyballs™ that the deep core stabilizers are brought into play. The stabilizers are strengthened in a very functional manner, ready to provide a strong platform for the wide range of movement needed in sport and daily sex life. Many trainers and fitness professionals have now realized the important role that core stabilizers play in preventing injury, improving posture and appearance and they are incorporating exercises for this important muscle group into training or fitness routine. Sexyballs™, on the other hand improves balance, coordination and sex dissatisfaction. Sexyballs™ is the complete package for adventures couple.
The best method of improving core stability is to train in an unstable environment. So at the heart of the Sexyballs™ concept is the ball's instability and mobility. Sexyballs™ is an energetic tool.
The most imperative aspect of sexercising the core stabilizers is PREVENTION. Sexyballs™ is the tool that can prevent sport and back injuries across a wide fitness and age range. For adults, whether at work, the health club or at home, strengthening your core stabilizing is easy, simply by using a big, round Sexyballs™. The simplest way of using Sexyballs™ for prevention of back injury is to use it as a chair, commonly known as 'Active Sitting'. Active sitting is a useful way of incorporating core stabilization into daily sex life. There are many benefits in utilizing Sexyballs™ as seats: decreased back strain, improved concentration and better sex satisfaction.
Long-term endurance training of spinal stabilizers will work towards the prevention of postural problems, back pain, sport injuries and sex deficiency.
Sexyballs™ scientific approach to adventures people!

Not only does sexercise improve heart health and lung capabilities, the strength exercises performed during sex on a Sexyballs™ will assist in stimulating specific muscles and erogenous zones (pleasure areas) that cannot be achieved during regular weight training or sex positions.
During exercise and sexual activities, the brain releases chemicals and hormones called endorphin which makes people feel pleasure and happiness during and after participation. By combining both Sex and Exercise activities, the participants may enjoy a higher level of satisfaction and enjoyment.
The repetitive nature of the actions in challenging positions on a Sexyballs™ will increase the heart rate to incorporate a cardiovascular workout that will improve stamina and can boost an individuals’ immune system.
People who engage in regular exercise demonstrates better healthy sex life, report better performance in their jobs, relationships and have lower recorded incidences of mental disorders.
I recommend having sex on a Sexyballs™ for its health related benefits and if better health doesn’t motivate you to exercise perhaps a better sex life will!
