I've been working my way up to the Eleven for quite some time. Ever since those early days of poking through EdenFantasys' catalog I've felt a twinge of desire whenever I lay my eyes on this stainless steel beauty. Ringing in at just under three hundred clams, however, I was not going to spring for NJoy's crowning jewel on an impulse. Well, I almost did.... twice. But fair reader let it be known, I played the part of the good sex toy researcher. I did my homework, on my back or squatting over a Hitachi as much as reading through reviews of similar products here on the site. And I would like to share with you how I found my happy ending when my Eleven arrived. It is well-suited to my body, and has become a useful and very pleasurable addition to my toy chest.

Prologue: "Oh my god, what a gorgeous toy!"

Njoy designs beautiful, functional, very high quality sex toys. The Eleven is the largest and most expensive of their current collection. As is to be expected, it is also stunning in aesthetic. A subtly curved S-shape is forged from extremely smooth, flawless, mirror-like stainless steel. Elegantly tapering bulbs at each end widen this toy to 1-3/4" and 2" in diameter. As a double-ended dildo, the Eleven has two different options for stimulation. In addition to size difference, there are three ridges languorously punctuating the inner curve of the 1-3/4" side. Add to this the substantial three and a half pounds and eleven inches of length this toy provides, and you have a heavy hitter of a pussy pounder.

Not to say that anal play cannot also be on the menu. In fact this is expertly demonstrated on Belladonna's Fashion Fanatic 8. It also has a glamour shot in Heartcore's Behind the Red Door, though it sadly remains unused. Indeed, the Eleven's appearance alongside some of queer porn's favourite starlets simply adds to its sex appeal.

Part 1: There's hard cock, and then there's Hard Cock

The first step in my dance towards happy Eleven ownership was a question: Will I enjoy a dildo that is steel-hard? It's a fair enough question to ask. I mean, I'm not having sex with robots, I'm fucking men. Human men with dicks made of skin and muscle and blood. Though anatomically similar, a cock made of flesh and a dildo of steel are not the same creature. Steel has no give to it whatsoever. It does not bend, nor does it squish, nor charmingly grow and shrink like a man's does.

So I tried glass. Why? Because it's cheaper, and just as hard as steel. It also comes in fetching colours and designs. And guess what? I like glass! You can read about it here, but suffice it to say that direct, unyielding pressure on my urethral sponge leads me to spurting good times, and a long run of orgasms.

Part 2: Flirting with the Family

Now came the daring move, the big swoop, the Pure Wand. The Pure Wand was a larger investment, but one I was pretty sure that I'd love. It's one of the Eleven's little sisters, sporting a smaller diameter and the same hard smooth stainless steel. Stainless steel does differ from glass in that it holds temperatures for a very long time. That means it stays both colder and hotter longer, and is an ideal material for temperature play.

Also buying a product from Njoy, the company that manufactures the Eleven, gave me an idea about the quality of their products. I was very impressed overall. The packaging is elegant, sturdy and beautiful as is the toy itself. Knowing that I liked what the company had to offer made me more willing to shell out for the Eleven.

Even more than that, though, I could tell that my body wanted a larger steel toy. I get a lot of pleasure from playing with my Pure Wand. Its shape and size and material really work for my body and have added to hours and hours of play. The Pure Wand is also double-ended, sporting both a 1" and a 1-1/2" head. Having this option to step up in size made me realize that my body wants to take an even broader metal dildo. I could hear my pussy craving it as I expanded inside the more aroused I got. Images of the Eleven danced in my head, and I knew that I would be a happy devourer of this steel beast.

Part 3: My Eleven and Me

Finally, oh finally the day has arrived when I happily and proudly keep an Eleven of my own. It is the heftiest of my toys. My Hitachi feels like it has the weight of an average vibrator when compared with the Eleven. (It's true!) It arrived exactly as it is pictured on EdenFantasys, packaged in a custom built leather purse and a sleeve of white cardboard.

The way I like to use my Eleven is as a step up from the Pure Wand, exactly as my fantasies dictated. The Pure Wand slips easily into me, and I can direct it's pressure with precision and ease. Once I am thoroughly aroused and my pussy is calling for more, I'll switch to the Eleven. Usually by that point I am so wet that no extra lubricant is needed, though I do sometimes add some. The smaller end of the Eleven feels damn near perfect in size for me. The ridges add a little somethin' somethin' when I decided to press the dildo deeper inside of me.

The big difference I find between the Eleven and Pure Wand is in how I use it. I find the Pure Wand to be a lot more cerebral and precise, whereas I just rock the Eleven back and forth like the piece of heavy metal it is. I don't find that I push it all too deep inside me. Usually just popping the heads in and out make for my little slice of heaven. A lot of times I won't move up to the 2" head because it is massive. Only when I'm really wet and fiending does that side find its way into my cunt. Those are good times.

The weight of the Eleven also encourages my perineum to stretch and relax. Yet another reason why the Eleven is best when arousal is high. I've read some people complain about the weight when using the Eleven for solo use. Though I have not experienced this issue, I'm sure that some will. Pick something up that's 3-1/2 lbs. next time you're at the grocery store, and imagine that weight packed into an eleven inch dildo!

Epilogue: And we all dwindle down to technicalities...

Yes, my friend, the Eleven is an investment piece. It is expensive, but will last your entire life and probably more. Only extreme conditions (think welding torch) could destroy this toy. Best not to clean it with some kind of abrasive material, though, so the stainless steel keeps its sheen. It can be sterilized with a 10% bleach solution or a run through the dishwasher. It can be boiled, but beware the ability for this toy to hold a boiling heat! If I boiled this toy I would give it a long time to cool down, or I'd run cold water into the pot like I was cooking eggs. For personal use, a wash with mild soap and water will suffice. All kinds of lube are compatible with this toy. Take care of it and by Joe, the Eleven will take care of you.

I love this dildo. When I can manage to lift this beast with triceps bulging it leads to a marvelous ride and a big old wet O. Seriously it is a wonderfully girthy toy. I can't use this toy from cold, but when I'm properly aroused and my crack is gaping for more, the Eleven really responds. Three and a half pounds of steel. How can you not take this one seriously?
