Calvin 9 Thrusting Male Masturbator Honest Review

Hi there,

A year ago, I started reviewing sex toys for men on the blog. I received lots of queries, and I figured it would be a great addition to a lifestyle blog for men. And, to be honest, it’s been fun—an unexpected bonus. The most popular toys I’ve reviewed are male masturbators. I find the concept interesting and wondered if they actually work, and whether they'd give me the same type of orgasm I can experience with my wife. Naturally, I had to investigate.

What I quickly realized is that reviewing male masturbators isn’t as straightforward as you might think. Men are all different in how we reach climax, and what works for one person might not work for another.

Size Matters

The first thing I’ve noticed is that size really matters with these toys. If you’re average or below, you won’t have any problems—most will fit perfectly. But if you’re a few centimeters above average like me, it can get a bit tricky. That’s why it’s essential to check the product description and measurements before buying.

What’s Your Style?

Another thing to consider is what you actually enjoy in sex. Masturbators are designed to mimic either a masturbation session or oral sex, so you need to think about your preferences: Do you like it rough, fast, or slower and deeper?

If you’re the kind of guy who prefers it rough and fast, most male masturbators will probably work well for you. Personally, at 50, I appreciate a more relaxed approach—I like it slower, with more depth and passion. I’ve found that many male masturbators feel a bit mechanical, so if you’re looking for something more lifelike, finding the right one can be a challenge.

The Calvin 9 Review

Now that we’ve covered the essentials, let’s get into today’s review: the Calvin 9 Thrusting & Vibrating Massage Masturbator. Bestvibe.com kindly sent this to me for review, and they’ve got a great selection of toys for both solo and couples’ play. Plus, their delivery is fast and discreet, so no need to worry about anyone knowing what’s in the package.

Build Quality:
The Calvin 9 is compact, lightweight, and very well built. It’s made from hard plastic, which feels durable and long-lasting. The handle design adds a bit of fun to the experience—it feels a bit like you’re revving a motorbike (except, well, it’s yourself!). One feature I love is that it charges with a standard USB cable—no proprietary chargers to worry about, which is a relief.

How It Works:
It's simple to use. Make sure you're hard, apply a good amount of water-based lube, and insert your penis into the device. The Calvin 9 has several programs, so you can experiment to find the one that works best for you. You can also adjust the intensity and add vibration if you want. Once you’ve found the perfect setting, just enjoy the ride.

The Plus:
The Calvin 9 stands out for its unique design. Since it’s open on both sides, there’s no restriction in size—big bonus! Bestvibe also suggests you can use it with another guy (one on each side). If that’s your thing, let me know in the comments how that goes. Another great point is that the movement is limited to an up-and-down motion, which feels more human than some of the other toys I’ve tried.

The Negative:
The downside? The motor isn’t very powerful, especially if you’re above average in size. If you’re looking to go deep, it might not work as well—it didn’t for me.

Should You Buy the Calvin 9 Masturbator?
If you’re average or below in size, and enjoy a quick, exciting experience, the Calvin 9 will likely be a great fit for you. But if you’re above average I’m not sure it’ll meet your expectations.

Final thoughts

For me personally, I’d give it a 6.5/10. The design is excellent, but it didn’t quite work for my preferences. That said, the most fun I had with it was in manual mode, using the handle to control it myself. For the right guy, though, I’d bump the rating to an 8.5/10—it can definitely deliver some great orgasms.

And so, my quest for the perfect male masturbator continues...
