All this to say that back then, when you tried the disposable Tengas, you had high hopes, you were turned on by the idea of trying these toys, yet you had no specific expectations. Now, a few years later, you had magnified memories of “the time you had together”. Your expectations were high because of this. And obviously the toy was not up to your heightened expectations. Hence your recent negative experience, even though — in factuality — the toy was as good as the toy back then : your penis got the same treatment from the toy, but your brain’s receptivity was different. So in the end the quality of the pleasure was different, lessened.
This said, I totally understand you, since the same happened to me with disposable Tengas. The first one I got to try, in 2007 or so, was the Air Cushion. I had read great comments about the Tenga Cups as a whole, and had a hard time finding one to try… So this was the one I found and got. And when I finally got it, needless to say, that I was lusty. I was trembling with concupiscence as I unwrapped the toy, and my cock was achingly hard. I was so happy and avid to try it, I think may have been drooling too ! So as soon as I could, nude and the toy unwrapped, I hungrily placed the toy’s opening over my cock’s tip. In no time, my hips had begun working my cock inside the Air Cushion. And : whoah ! The lube that was in there ? So smooth ! So slick ! The tangy textures ? So varied ! So incredible ! For the price I had paid, I would have liked to last longer, but it was so good, I frankly couldn’t resist the call. I came quickly, drowning the cup, filling it in cum as if I hadn’t cum in years ! I was ecstatic.
For sure the toy was a bit short and the hole was rather tight, but I felt I had made a great discovery. But at the price I had paid, it was obvious I would not buy a new one right away. I already had my Fleshlights anyway (I had the original, the Wonder Waveand the Super Ribbed), so I knew I could wait.[1]
A few years later, they were much cheaper and available locally, so I bought another one. This time it was a Rolling Head. I immediately recognized the superb, slick lube. But what struck me was how small that thing was inside. It felt good, mind you, and the toy had no problem at all in getting me to shoot my cum. Yet, I didn’t feel that amazement I had experienced a few years earlier.
So I got an Air Cushion once again, thinking it was the Rolling Head kind that didn’t suit me. And I felt let down almost as much. For sure, the slick lube all over my cock and the incredible textures working on my cock head and clenching around my shaft… All those were really great. There’s no denying that the Air Cushion quickly convinced my cock to donate a week’s worth of cum. Yet, it really wasn’t like that mythical first time.
The difference ? The first time, I didn’t know what to expect. The second time I knew, and I had high hopes. Yet the fact that the cost was high for a single orgasm (I cannot reuse them, I find it disgusting, and cuming outside ruins the whole experience for me). And the fact that the sleeves were not a single bit recyclable really bothered me.And the fact that they were short. And the fact that they were really tight… All these negative traits ended up fouling the quality of the signals Penis sent me as I slid him inside, so in the end, the cups were never as good as the first one ever was.[2]
I think something similar also happened to you.
All this to say is that your case is not as strange as you think it is. It’s a combination of experience, expectations and physical penile stimulation. Your memories, your needs, your desires, your fantasies, your beliefs, all intertwine with the physical (mostly penile) stimulation in your “sexual pleasure zone”, resulting in a sexual pleasuring that may end up being more or less good depending on where you are and how you feel at a particular moment in your life.
[1] As I said, I already had my Fleshlights. Hadn’t I had them, my initial experience would have been even stronger since it would also have been my first sleeve experience. (If you haven’t read my first contact story with my original Fleshlight… My first Fleshlight was delivered to my home on a Thursday. As I arrived home that evening, I found the box on my doorstep. I got inside, opened the box… and had to try it right away because of all the comments I had read on the internet. To tell the truth, I wasn’t expecting something this good and, way too soon, I was shooting my first load in the Fleshlight ! As I pulled out, I was amazed, awed, shaken. It was so good ! Nothing like any other toy I had tried before. I had to fuck it two more times that evening and fell asleep with a huge smile. As I came home the next day (Friday), I returned to (and in) the Fleshlight as soon as I could. It stayed in my hand or on my cock for the rest of the weekend : I just needed to fuck it all the time ! It was so amzingly good. And when Sunday evening came, I felt sexually appeased for the first time in my life.)
