This toy is definitely not for a beginner. I myself am not too into anal play, but the hubby is so I give in to his guilty pleasure. I did not care too much for it. It has a intense vibration and that is not something I want in that area, but when used without the vibration it was great for double penetration (which happens to be something he enjoys). I would recommend using a condom with this one for sanitary reasons because it does contain rubber, and rubber is a porous material and odors may linger.

Even though it is an anal toy I enjoyed the vibrations when he went to switch them. It was an intense pleasure, but not for someone who is just starting. I did like the silk feel of it with just a little bit of lube. It slid in easily and was not painful to me. Although the base is bulky I was afraid it might slip out while changing positions. I think it would work great for solo play because it has the wide base to easily hold on to.

He enjoyed the feel of the vibration when it was moved to the front, and he claims that it helped him along too. The vibrations were not too loud while inside but while outside were a bit noisy. He did not care too much for it when used on him, he claims it was too big for him and that it "Just did not feel right." I guess because it did not stimulate his prostate, so not for this man but maybe for others. It was easy to conceal in the night stand because it does not stand out too much, so it does not attract attention when others are looking for something in there.
