When I got this I was a virgin, so I knew it would hurt; it is thick, yet smooth. I mean yeah, it would hurt for any virgin, but still with the right speed of getting yourself ready, the "pain" reduces. But don't let the pain deter you! It is a great toy, pleasurable for women and gay men, or guys who do like anal.

However, one thing I would say is it does smell... "off." I mean that is one thing, but when you are pounding yourself with it, you can't smell it.

I LOVE the texture, it feels like a real penis in your hand. Only bigger than I have had, and the "skin" of it feels different than normal skin. But it seems Doc Johnson did a good cast of a real penis, because it is veined, and not one cheap imitation.

I actually use this with my pixies pinpoint vibe. And trust me, those two together, they make for a GREAT orgasm in my opinion. Or because this thing is a bit floppy (not like a flacid penis), but you can put a vibrating cock ring on it.

Other than that it is solo. If you like to give oral, but have no one to give it to, you could use this, but as I said it does have a funny smell, and it does have a bit of a taste as well. But not enough to turn you off, at least in my opinion.

Now if you use this toy too much, I hear it can get a foul body smell. But personally, every time I need to clean a toy, I use Eden's toy wipes. They smell lovely, so you don't have to worry about a smell. They are only $4.99, and in a small resealable bag.
