When it comes to self-pleasure, can you really beat a male masturbator? Well, I doubt you can, since it’s an object and it’s not into BDSM. Dad jokes aside, modern male masturbators are all the rage nowadays. Hell, I’ve gone over more than a few in my time and Scarlett knows how giddy I still get when it comes to these things. Now, combine the name of one of my favorite companies with one of my favorite activities and your favorite type of literature to read online and what do you get? Why, you get a Lovense Calor review!

Yes, based on those three words themselves, you can tell you’ll be in for a ride. I know I was. If my soaked towel from a few hours ago is any indication, this device did more than its fair share. And will do plenty more, I’m sure. So, let’s not waste any more time and just jump into this nice, brief and info-laden Lovense Calor review, ladies and (especially) gentlemen.

When Suction Is Giving You Warm, Fuzzy Feelings

Well, what can you even say about Lovense at this point? It appears that there isn’t a single adult toy review website that doesn’t mention this brand in one way or another. I mean, my avid readers know what my opinions are on specific cock rings and other male masturbators this company produces. Scarlett was even more prolific than me! She gave three whole toys a whirl over the years, with stellar results. And based on our current bank account numbers, she’s probably got a few others in store for review.

Naturally, Scarlett and I, as well as other contributors on Pleasure Me Now, are far from being the only users of Lovense items. In fact, the brand has become so popular that people across different platforms are using them. Adult performers on OnlyFans, Fansly and other similar content-creation websites frequently do video reviews and promotions of Lovense masturbators, vibrators and so on. Webcam models often have a Lovense or two attached to heighten both the sexual pleasure they experience and the viewing pleasure of their fans. In fact, even some of my Second Life-playing friends find this brand’s toys to be the best addition to their arsenal.

Interestingly enough, this is the toy that both Scarlett and I decided on splitting expenses over. Not because we couldn’t afford it (though I will cover that a little later in the article), but because it legitimately seemed like something we would LOVE to use. I’m honestly amazed that she didn’t write the Lovense Calor review as part of her own toy box. Well, we can cover that a little later – I really want to sink my figurative teeth into this bad boy!

Love(nse) at Thirst Tight: First Impressions

I placed the order on one dreary Wednesday afternoon. Before the weekend rolled around, there was a package at the door. And lo and behold, it was another box for me to keep!

Or at least it would have been, had it not been damaged in the transport. Now, to clarify, I blame the new mailman for that. Lovense always ships its packages neatly packaged and wrapped discreetly. This damage was clearly an outside interference.

Well, the first thing I wanted to do was whip it out – not my Sexcalibur, but the device that will inevitably end up wrapping itself around it. The smooth, cylindrical shape was what initially caught my attention and unlike the Max 2, this tiny monster does not look that ridge-y or bumpy. It’s an elegant little device and I kind of enjoyed that.

The choice of colors was also exquisite. It’s fairly simple and mostly consists of blacks and whites. As a man, I do enjoy some smooth, dark colors and a black device is a welcome one. I do delve into some pastels every now and again, but generally, I don’t shift too far from the tried and tested.

What’s in the Box?

Aside from the device itself, the device was…sadly, quite barren. It contained what you’d expect from a typical sex device package:

A USB charging cable
A storage bag
User manual.

I don’t really care if the brand goes far and beyond with free goodies for every purchase. But if I am a repeat customer and the brand itself is good, I’d want more from it. And nothing too fancy, either; some complimentary free lube will do, maybe a little stand or even a small ‘Thank You’ card. I don’t really ask for discounts, mainly because Lovense already provides them, but at least give me SOMETHING.

The Ultimate Sex Experience, Featuring Calor’s Features

Well, now that we know the content of the box fairly well, let’s focus on the main attraction, the star of this Lovense Calor review. Can you guess who or what it is?

When No Material Is Immaterial

On the outside, the Calor is as firm and durable as they get. The outer plastic is smooth enough to glide in my hand, yet strong enough that I can’t break it unless I put the effort in. But you readers aren’t interested in the outer material of the Calor. It’s the inside that makes the news and the inside of the Calor is fantastic.

I’ve said this before many times, but I love it when a masturbator has a sleeve that’s a mix between body-safe silicone and ABS plastic. Both of these substances are incredibly safe for the human body, flexible enough to feel like real skin and easy to clean once the deed is done. Just looking at the texture and the sheen of the ABS and silicone combo makes me all giddy with excitement. Sure, it might not have the color of human skin, but with a masturbator this good, those details are meaningless.

Vibrate? Can’t Wait (and Will Rate)

Three steady levels of vibrations. Ten different patterns. Combine that with the depth control and the squeeze option and you have yourself a winner, folks. I can’t describe the last time I had this much fun with what is, arguably, a number of options that’s smaller than with some other industry heavyweights.

But that’s what makes this bad boy stand out. Well, to put it bluntly, it’s what makes Lovense stand out. Because you see, it’s not the vibrations themselves that give this masturbator its edge, but the way they are placed, the way they can be manipulated and the way they make you cum.

Be Still, My Tepid Heart

On the website, when you watch the promo video, you see the quick little blurb “optional heating feature” shoot by. But I assure you, even if they claim it’s optional, I guarantee it’s a must-try. I mean, think about it! A masturbator that already feels like the real thing, plus the actual warmth? Sign me up!

App-Reciate the Effort, It’s Upwardly Mobile of You, Smart Even

Now, nearly all of my readers who are Lovense users already know what I’m about to write, but it bears repeating. Lovense is extremely well known for its devices’ smart features and interconnectivity.

All I need is a smartphone and an app and I’m good to go anywhere and do anything. I’m not even exaggerating. Two partners from across the globe can have fun with Lovense products and if I was in a long-distance relationship (again), I’d have my partner click my brains out.

Furthermore, it’s not just the phones that the Calor connects to. With some minor fiddling, I can connect two separate Lovense devices and increase the experience, be they vibrators, bullets or even other masturbators.

Bits and Roberts

If I had to list off anything else that makes this little device stand out, it’s the running time and the weight. Let’s start with the latter. Namely, for its slight bulkiness, this masturbator is actually quite light, I don’t remember the last time I used something so, for lack of a better word, fluffy. Granted, it also helps that the insertable length of this gadget is a little over 6 inches. Slightly small for my fella, but it did the job well.

Of course, there’s the running time as well. Depending on what mode I used, it can run anywhere between 55 and 130 minutes. Its charge time is fairly brief, at 90 minutes. In theory, that means I can use the Calor, if I forgo sleep, a total of 8 times per day.

Giving Calor the Whirl, Turbo Way

A Lovense device is best consumed hot, metaphorically speaking. So, the second I got it out of the box, I put it to charge and waited. When the time came, I was ready and able.

The original insertion was a bit iffy, since it is a new device, but luckily for me, I had lube available. As stated, Lovense does not package its Calors with free lube, so I had to make do with what I had. Not that I was complaining – first setting, pattern four and I was already seeing stars! The second setting had me showering in cold water, simply to regain composure. That’s how good it was and that’s where I got my towel all soaked with my fluids. I won’t even tell you what the third setting did to me.

💡 Pro Tip: No matter where you are or what toy you’re using, make sure to lube it up. Unlike reproductive organs, sex toys don’t produce their own lubrication. Make sure the product you’re getting matches your toy and is of decent quality. For example, lubes from Adam & Eve are a good go-to choice.

Giving Calor to Scarlett, the Two-Way

Scarlett was quite impatient; she wanted to see how good the Calor was and the second we both got a free moment together, she slapped it on me and went to town. As always, she knew exactly which buttons to push, quite literally.

Having the control snatched from your hands is extremely thrilling during sex with toys like Calor. You never know what the partner will do next and Scarlett is a pro at surprising me.

That she is! Hello, readers. Scarlett here, snatching the review away from Richard for a moment. I have to say, as someone who has been fiddling with masturbators for as long as I have, I’ve not enjoyed a device like this one in a fair amount of time! Richard was almost squealing with joy. But I squealed right back since we both tried to connect our toys and it worked flawlessly! OK, now back to Richard!

✍️ Richard Recommends: If you aim to use the masturbator linked with another device, I suggest trying the Lovense Nora. The vibration patterns will match, plus it’s a rabbit vibrator with plenty of room for experimentation.

Final Thoughts on Lovense Calor

I’ve tried many, many, many (times many) handheld masturbators in my time, manual as well as automatic. And while I like a great deal of them, something always makes Lovense products reach the top of my recommendation list. And Lovense Calor is precisely one such product. Not only is it an excellent way of unwinding after a long day, but it’s intense and comfy enough to make even the tightest prude squeal in pleasure. So, yes, both from Scarlett’s heart and mine, we can’t recommend it enough.

The Lovense Calor Lowdown – What You Need to Know

Made for Adepts who like control over every squeeze. The adjustable side grips are the standout, letting you fine-tune tightness. Heating adds realism once warmed and the stronger vibration modes hit well. Bulky design means it’s not ideal for hands-free use.

Ships in double-layer discreet packaging, no company names or product hints. Comes with a 1-year warranty on the device, 90 days on TPE sleeves and 1 month on certain charging cables.

Made from phthalate-free silicone and ABS plastic. Use water-based lube only to protect the casing, Lovense Water-Based Lube recommended.

Add lube before heating and keep the toy horizontal during warm-up. Clean with toy cleaner after use, dry well and store in a cool, dry place away from dust.
