Let us once again sing the praises of silicone, the king of toy materials, because with it you can make a toy that is incredibly versatile and safe. Use it in the ass, the vagina, the mouth, in a harness, in the hand, shared with friends - as long as you sterilize it between uses, it's perfectly safe and won't harbour any nasty germs. It's soft at the tip, so you can thrust with vigour. You are unlikely to do yourself or your partner any damage with this toy. The upward curve provides some extra stimulation to the G-spot or prostate, though the soft tip means it will not be firm pressure.

What this toy can't give you is size. It's about the size of an average human penis, which means it's smaller than most dildos. If you are looking to be stretched out, in length or girth, you'll want to check elsewhere.

Goodfella is made of a dual-density silicone known as VixSkin. This gives a squishy layer over a firm core, and makes the toy more life-like. The head and balls are entirely of the softer textured silicone, while the shaft has the firmer core. I've previously used the O2 dual density from Tantus, and Vixskin is similar, but seems to have more of the plushy layer than O2 does. This is based on comparing one toy from each line, so obviously shouldn't be used as a general guideline - if you're trying to decide which company to purchase from, you'll want to read reviews of the specific toys you're considering. Personally, I don't really have a preference. They feel slightly different, but to me, one is not superior to the other. I love them both.

The surface is somewhere between matte and shiny. As usual with silicone, it's a lint magnet. It's odorless and tasteless. The raised veins have some texture to the touch, but I could not feel them when inserted. I was able to feel the prominent coronal ridge, which I found pleasant. I also enjoyed the pressure of the balls in use, as did my partner.

There are two very slight seams around the vertical circumference of the balls, but you have to be looking closely to see them. Otherwise, I found no manufacturing defects of any type. The Goodfella is flexible, and bends upwards, downwards, or sideways with equal ease. This toy may not provide enough pressure for some, but you are very unlikely to injure a partner with it.

The balls provide a special challenge when using it with an O-ring harness. You sort of have to squish the corners of the base and force them into the O-ring. However, I think the extra effort is worth it for the benefit of having a strap-on with balls.

The Goodfella is a realistic dildo in shape with a choice of three skin tone colours. Those who prefer their toys less obviously phallic probably haven't even clicked far enough to read this review. The shaft curves upwards, and the glans has a prominent corona. Underneath the glans is a textured area that might represent a pulled back foreskin. I like to think so anyway, since the cock I have in my imagination is uncut. There are veins along the surface, and the underside has a visible corpus spongiosum - the ridge of tissue along the length that protects the urethra. The scrotum is textured as well, but sadly is not as wonderfully realistic as Vixskin's Mr Right dildo.

I dithered between the vanilla and caramel choices, because even though I have pale skin, the lighter Tantus colour was way too light. I didn't know if I'd have the same trouble with Vixen or not, but my boyfriend pointed out that men's cocks are often darker than their natural skin tone. That decided me on the caramel. It's not as realistic a colour as I would prefer, but it's far closer to realism than the cream coloured Tantus.

Like my other favourite, the O2 Mark, the Goodfella is average sized. The measurements on the product page are accurate, so I'll reproduce them here, with a couple of additions:

Length: 7"
Insertable length: 5 1/2"
Circumference: 5 1/2"
Diameter: 1 3/4"
Ball size: 2 7/8" wide x 2 1/4" long x 1 1/4" thick
Base size: 3" tall x 2 3/8" wide

The average size and the soft head makes the Goodfella a good choice for beginners to pegging, but beginners aren't the only ones who prefer slimline dildos. Some of us just aren't really interested in testing our size limits. Also take note that dual density silicone doesn't "feel" as large as a firmer toy of the same dimensions. The important thing is to know yourself and know what you want before investing in a high end dildo. If you need more size, then there are many other options.

As a vaginal toy, Goodfella performs well. This is a toy that my boyfriend can hold and use on me without worry about thrusting too hard, or that I can use on myself. The balls provide a nice hand hold that is more comfortable than the base.

We both have enjoyed using the Goodfella orally, as it's small enough not to be too much strain on the jaws, and there is no taste to it. The texture provides lots of fun bits to lick on and suck, but you do have to watch the teeth, as it's possible to damage the texture.

However, despite these delightful uses, Goodfella is primarily my harness dildo. I wear it for pegging, and it performs beautifully. My boyfriend loves the visual of seeing me with a cock - particularly when I wear a top that plays up my breasts. He enjoys the size and shape of Goodfella as a pegging dildo. He says he gets some prostate stimulation from the curve, though not as much as his dedicated prostate toys, due to the lack of pressure. We both enjoy the balls. They don't quite slap against him in use the way real balls would, but they do provide extra pressure and stimulation for both of us at the top of every thrust. The size, curvature, texture - everything about the Goodfella makes it feel like a real cock, and plays up the realism for us during gender play. It's a wonderful dildo, and I am thrilled to own it.

Due to its soft texture, the Goodfella should be stored in a way that protects it from being crushed or torn. Using the box it came in is ideal, if you have the space in your naughty drawer. If you want it hidden a bit better from view, you can invest in a satin storage pouch - just check the measurements to make sure the balls will fit.

Silicone toys should never be stored touching other silicone toys, nor should they be used with silicone lubricants. If you wish to risk it, then try a patch test first. Just remember that the Goodfella has two different types of silicone which might each react differently, and don't assume that if one brand of silicone lube is okay that all of them are safe.

To clean the Goodfella, wash with soap and water or toy cleaner. To sterilize, you can boil for three minutes, use a 10% bleach solution, or wash in the top rack of the dishwasher. I prefer to always sterilize after anal play, to avoid transferring bacteria from the rectum.

The Goodfella comes in a clear plastic clamshell package which is easy open and reusable.

The packaging reads:

When I was growing up, there were times I would imagine I was a boy. It wasn't often. I'm far more female than male, and my gender identity was never any matter of distress to me. It wasn't that I felt wrong as a female, it was that I also wanted to get a chance to be male.

My boyfriend is both bisexual and monogamous. We're both fans of roleplay in the bedroom, and so it's fun for me to roleplay as a male. I've been searching for the right cock - the one that I could think of as mine. The Tantus O2 Mark came close - in fact, I fell in love with him. It was the first toy I ever personified and called by name. But as great as he is, something was missing. Or rather, two somethings were missing.

The balls make so much difference. I like to hold them while I jerk myself off. My boyfriend likes to feel them against him when we peg. I like feeling them pressed against my clit. Most of all, I like the look. I feel complete with the entire package down there, especially when I'm wearing a half-bra that puts my breasts on display. I can be completely dual, and accept all my male and female energies. This is not a kink that everyone is likely to share, but if you do, then you know how powerful it can be. The pleasure I get from seeing my boyfriend sucking my silicone cock is completely cerebral, but no less real than the pleasure I'd get from him touching me.

I don't think I'll need to purchase any more dildos, looking for the one that is me. I'm pretty sure I've found it.

Since Mr Right and Goodfella are both made by Vixen Creations, this should be a good side-by-side comparison of the two Goodfella colour choices. You can also compare it in size to Tantus's O2 Mark Vanilla
