Have you ever heard of the Autoblow 2? It’s a blowjob robot that really… wait for it… sucks.
(I had to)
In the realm of male sex toys, the Autoblow 2 might be the hype-iest sex toy in the world. Since reviewing the Tenga Flip Hole (and dubbing it the best sex toy for men in the world), I have had more requests from people to review the Autoblow 2 than any other sex toy on the market. Which I believe speaks to how many men know about it, and also perhaps their resistance to shelling out close to $200 for a toy that they might be afraid could electrocute/rip your penis off (hint: it definitely won’t do either).
The Autoblow 2 received nearly $400,000 in crowdfunding on Indiegogo, being backed by more than 3,000 funders.
I mean, it’s fairly understandable…
The idea of a sex toy doing all of the work for you, and the ‘work’ feeling akin to a blowjob from a real, live sexual partner? That’s quite a strong pitch.
I ordered one of these devices to put it to the test, and the results were… well, you’ll see.
Autoblow 2 Out Of The Box
The packaging was well designed enough. It arrived quickly, and in good condition.
To be honest I didn’t think about the branding that much as I was just excited to unbox it and stick my penis in it.
So I snapped the above photo and went to my bedroom to try out the goods.
Upon unboxing the Autoblow 2, my first thought was “This looks like a large thermos you would bring to the beach for a picnic in the summer.”
The device definitely isn’t small. It is 8.6 inches/22 cm tall, and the diameter of the device is 4 inches/10 cm. So it isn’t ridiculously massive, but it definitely isn’t as small as the Tenga products that I have come to know and love.
So the idea that this device could be completely ‘hands free’ (as the benefits proposed) seemed like a stretch, since your penis would have to be legendarily strong in order to support it without at least the tentative support of a hand or your thighs.
Autoblow 2 Initial Impressions
While holding it in my hand, I confirmed that, yes, it would need to be supported while being used (or I would need to figure out a creative position with my body).
I was pleased with how easy it was to setup.
You simply take one of the removable sleeves, drop it into the device, and then pour a few drops of lube into the sleeve.
Inside of the device, several rows of beads move up and down, gripping the outside of the sleeve, to stimulate your penis in a blowjob-like fashion.
Obviously removable sleeves make for easy cleanup, since no lube ever comes in contact with the device itself.
One downside to the inside of the sleeve is that there is zero internal ribbing or texture. Just a characterless, smooth plastic-y feel. I.e. more Fleshlight, less Tenga.
One upside is that the device doesn’t run on batteries. It plugs into a wall outlet (which means you have to be within ten feet of an outlet, which most beds are).
On the underside of the device is the dimmer switch that allows you to speed up or slow down the stroking pace of the internal beads. The speed ranges from a slow, casual edging pace, to ‘the-fastest-your-windshield-wipers-could-possibly-go’ speedy.
How Does The Autoblow 2 Feel?
Ahhh the million dollar question… how does this little kitchen-appliance-of-the-masturbatory-world actually feel?
In a word, underwhelming.
YES, the Autoblow 2 delivers something akin to the sensation of a blowjob, if all of your life’s blowjobs have been robotically rhythmic, loose, and unfortunately gentle.
For most people, you would really have to focus to be able to climax from the toy alone. Sure, use the device as a traditional masturbator by sliding it up and down? Sure. Place a curved vibrator underneath your balls/around your perineum or anus? Would definitely help. But on it’s own… it doesn’t blow you away.
So while the sensation that this toy delivers is definitely nowhere near a good blowjob from a loving partner, it also isn’t nothing.
It delivers a gentle touch that focuses mainly on the top half of your penis.
Using the Autoblow 2 felt like someone gently petting the underside of my penis with a lubricated hand at various speeds of my choosing.
If you don’t mind the noise (which, as other online reviewers have stated, really does sound like windshield wipers), the device will be able to deliver a slow build orgasm for most users.
Downsides: noisy, no internal ribbing, underwhelming amount of pressure, not truly hands free.
Benefits/upsides: no batteries, very robust build and long motor life (1,000+ hours), relatively hands free (if you sandwich the device between your thighs or lie on your side), great for edging / slow build orgasms.
As other reviewers have also stated, the amount of spaciousness in the device is unfortunate.
You can choose from three sizes of interchangeable sleeve (size A, B, and C… B being the most common, for ‘average’ sized penises), and I can say, after having test-driven both sleeve sizes B and C, that your penis swims in the spaciousness of the Autoblow 2.
And while a general sense of ‘Hey, come on in, there’s room for everyone!’ is a nice idea… it ends up making you wonder if your penis is thick enough (which is not a thought I would ever want a sex toy to inspire in my mind when I’m going to use it). And, as stated in my article on the best sex toy for men, my penis is above average length and girth… so I can only imagine that a more statistically average penis would feel even more doubtful if it were to go for a few laps in the toy.
All in all, within my first few sessions of using the Autoblow 2, I really had to focus to be able to orgasm with it, and I started to feel the sensation a bit more about ten minutes into it. So again, it’s a great edging toy. It delivers a slow build orgasm.
Who I Would Recommend The Autoblow 2 For
I could see using this for extended edging sessions, because it does feel nice… but it is quite gentle.
Realistically, I would only recommend the Autoblow 2 to someone who wanted to edge for extended periods of time and not use their hands. I have heard of professional video gamers who used the toy to help them edge for hours on end during gameplay (hey, to each their own).
So if you’re looking to work on building sexual stamina over time, or you enjoy edging in general and other sex toys are too pleasurable to help you achieve that slow build climax, then this device will totally work for you.
Autoblow 2 Review Final Verdict
In a macro level sense, I’m really glad that toys like this even exist.
Why? Because, like it or not, men using sex toys for their own pleasure is still heavily stigmatized in the minds of most men.
Women owning vibrators and other sex toys is exceedingly common, and most people see little to no issue with this reality. But I have never once heard a guy friend of mine talking about using a sex toy publicly (and I’m a sex coach who talks about my sex toy use often, so I’m a safe space to discuss these things and it still doesn’t come up).
The way that I see it, the more the world invests in sex toys for men (be they Fleshlights, Tenga Flip Hole‘s, Autoblow 2’s, etc.), the more deserving of sexual pleasure men feel from a variety of sources, the less dependent they feel on women being the sole deliverer of sexual satisfaction in their lives, and the more likely they are to lead happy, fulfilling, and diverse sex lives.
My final review of the Autoblow 2 comes down to this:
I still love the Tenga Flip Hole and Tenga Flip Zero at least 10x more, but this could be good for people who really love hands off edging.
Yes, it feels indulgent to have the machine do the work for you as you lie back and enjoy it… but the quality of stimulation is underwhelming.
And I’m happy for what this toy means for the future of male sex toys to come.
Dedicated to your success,
Jordan
