The Francois Sagat realistic dildo is made by Doc Johnson and is part of the Titanmen line of toys. It is a replica of Francois' own penis and there are two other dildos in this line based on other adult film actors. It is designed for insertion and can be used either vaginally or anally thanks to the balls on the base which would prevent it from getting too deep for easy removal.

The curve in the shaft makes it excellent for stimulation of the g-spot or prostate, although this is best accomplished by shallow thrusting. With the toy more deeply inside it is still firm enough and thick enough to provide less-direct stimulation to either of those areas.

As a transman, I really enjoy thrusting and humping during masturbation and I found that the girth of this toy was perfect for laying down on the bed with some pillows or blankets beneath it and then rubbing my cock against the shaft of the dildo, solo frottage.

This is a dildo made of R5, a material that lends itself toward extreme realism. It's basically a PVC mix that is phthalate-free and contains Sil-A-Gel, making it unsuitable for silicone lubes. While the PVC does make it have a slight odor, it is much less noticeable than with many other non-silicone toys. For example a gel toy has a much stronger scent. There is a very faint taste as well. All in all, neither of these was very problematic to me as they aren't readily detectable unless you've got the toy shoved right in your face. Those who enjoy 'giving head' to their dildos may find this to be a problem but I did not.

This is a large toy and it is actually fairly heavy which is a quality I like in sex toys. Despite needing to use both hands to maneuver it in, it's easily controlled with one hand once you've managed to insert the glans.

The texture is very stimulating. There are plenty of raised veins along the shaft and a defined ridge on the underside of the toy. This is the single most realistic dildo I have ever used in my life and I absolutely adore it.

Everything about the design of the Francois Sagat realistic cock is spot-on, which is fortunate for him since that is the natural tool he's working with! I had actually never heard of him before purchasing this toy and finding out he was one of Titanmen's models but after using this dildo a couple of times I got more curious about the man who the actual dick is attached to and looked up some of his porn. I liked it a lot, but that's a story for another review entirely.

As for this rubber replica, it makes a big - scratch that, huge - first impression and myself and my partner were both a little bit awe-struck to see this nearly 10 inch long dildo come out of its package. Taking into account the balls and suction cup it's actually a little bit smaller because 7 of those inches are insertable and the others are not. With a 7.5 inch circumference, this is a toy for people who are into major thickness.

If you're a beginner or don't think that you could ever in your wildest dreams take four fingers or more into your preferred orifice then you'll probably want to pass on this one. However, if you're like me and enjoy the extreme fullness and even the challenge of pushing your limits then this is the toy for you. No other natural-looking penis sold by Eden Fantasies is thicker than this bad boy. Even if the length is too much for you there's no rule stating you have to take the entire thing so just enjoy a good stretching session and worry about conquest some other time with some other toy. Just the girth on Francois is more than enough accomplishment for one sex-session!

The next most obvious feature of this dildo is the great amount of detail that went into producing it. Not only is it uncut (a rarity among sex toys and a treat for those who love variety), every single ripple and ridge of skin has been carefully etched from the bunched-up foreskin beneath the frenulum to the prominent veins on the shaft and ridges of skin on the testicles.

The coloration is also something to be admired. It's a natural flesh color with a bright red head, reminiscent of the swollen glans immediately before ejaculation. Rather than looking 'painted' onto the outside, the bluish veins appear to have color on the inside with a thin coat of tan over them so that they have the quality of real veins beneath skin. I have not seen this before on a toy and aside from the Titanmen series even the other Doc Johnson toys with veins all appear to the tacky kind rather than the truly artistic realism of this one. Explicit? Maybe. Obscene? Never.

The shape of this toy lends itself toward being very stimulating as well as being easier to use than many other toys of its size. The glans is well-tapered so that it is easy to insert and you can work onto it gradually. Since it is not circumcised there is no edge of the head to catch on you in any uncomfortable way during use if it's too close a fit. The veins offer enough texture to stimulate without being rough or abrasive as they are only partially raised and not ridge-like in any capacity.

One of the very best features is the fact that the curve in the shaft not only allows this toy to be used for g-spot or prostate stimulation but also means that with deeper penetration the head will veer toward the side and thus rub against the inner walls of the vagina rather than jabbing straight into the cervix, something for women to keep in mind if they enjoy depth play.

The Francois Sagat dildo does not have any vibrations so neither strength nor batteries are of any concern. It does, however, come with a convenient suction cup that allows it to be fixed to a surface for riding or standing play against a wall, in the shower, or wherever else you'd like to get frisky.

The suction cup is very strong - and it needs to be, for such a large and heavy dildo! It works both on wet and dry surfaces and the small care guide provided by Doc Johnson tells you how to reattach the suction cup in the event that it detaches from the toy. I did not have this problem and it seems unlikely as long as you're not roughly tearing the toy from the surface it is affixed to. To remove it properly you need only to lift up a corner of the suction cup to break the seal and then the toy is easily moved.

The Francois Sagat realistic cock is a very easy toy to clean, something that not all textured toys can say. It takes only a moment to wash thoroughly in soap and warm water or you can use an antibacterial toy spray such as the Doc Johnson Toy Cleaner or Swiss Navy Toy Cleaner. Then use a cloth to get most of the water off and allow it to sit out so that all of the crevices may dry, as per the instructions in the care guide.

This is one of those toys which requires dusting with talcum powder to keep it supple and then storing on its own so that it doesn't react from coming into contact with other toys.

It does contain some amount of silicone so it is only safe to use water-based lubricants with it.

The packaging on the Francois dildo is very minimal. It comes in a paper box, protected by a plastic bag. There's a small booklet on how to clean the toy which details methods for the Realistics and UR3 lines, as well as how to fix the suction cup if it detaches from the toy. There is also a little booklet showing the Titanmen line of toys which includes dildos, butt plugs, an enema system, strokers, and cock rings as well as an inflatable toy and a replica of Francois Sagat's rear end.

The box is not even remotely discreet and even show's full-frontal male nudity on the back. As a storage container the package it comes in is really only good temporarily since it's neither sturdy nor discreet.

One unusual thing that I noticed is that the man on the back of the box is not the same man who is pictured on the front. They look so alike that it escapes notice when only glanced at quickly but upon closer inspection it becomes apparent that their eye colors and skin tones are different.

I have added several items to the similar toys section and I would like to take a moment to describe those.

If you are looking for an equally detailed realistic toy, there are two other Titanmen who have had their penises produced by Doc Johnson. The David Anthony is a more 'typical' looking penis and does not have the extreme bend of the Francois Sagat model; its curve is upward but comparably minor. The Marco Blaze has a smaller head in comparison to its total size and tapers from narrower at the top to a thicker base.

If you like the Francois Sagat for its curve then you may be interested in the Black Thunder Cock, another Doc Johnson toy. It's even longer at a whopping twelve inches and has a comparable circumference to the Francois Sagat model.

For those who like this toy because of its 7.5 inch circumference but would prefer a silicone toy, the closest I have found is the T-Rex made by Tantus. Unfortunately it falls half an inch short but it does have the added benefit of coming in two different colors.

The first time that my partner and I decided to test out this toy was a mind-blowing experience. It was in the midst of a roleplaying session and the fantasy combined with this large and new penis which was a distinctly different sensation really blew my mind.

I found that I could easily take the glans and part of the shaft into my pussy without any additional lube even though this is such a large dildo, but I was very excited and I have a lot of experience working with larger toys than many people ever try and have even been fisted on occasion. Once we got to the curve I did need a little bit of lube to help me work down on it further.

The sensation was amazing and changed depending on how the toy was rotated. With the head pointed toward my prostate (g-spot for those of you who aren't trans) I was able to cum very quickly from the buildup of pressure. Often gel and silicone toys are not firm enough to adequately stimulate me but the girth of this big toy provided the amount of pressure that I needed.

Once I had cum that way, we rotated the head so that it was rubbing against the wall between my vagina and rectum which provided a different sensation entirely, one that you'll probably like if you enjoy butt plugs or anal (especially because there is no anal friction, just pressure) but which others may not enjoy.

We have used this toy on many occasions since then and it has quickly become our favorite way to spice up sex. We literally keep it on the bedside table so that it is within easy reach.

On some occasions I have managed to get it very deep in me, nearly all the way. This works best in doggy-style position with me moving back onto the shaft only as deep as I can and then taking it a little bit deeper whenever I am ready. I don't have a cervix or anything else deeper in there since I have had the neutering surgery but I still get a bit sensitive toward the back of my pussy so I love how the curve in the shaft keeps pressure toward the side, front, or back and not directly in.

If only this one were silicone I would have thought about sharing it with my lover but I can't bear the thought of reducing its lifespan and PVC can't be 100% sterilized. What we really ought to do is get a second one if we get a bit of extra cash to spare.
