When I received word I was to be reviewing my very first realistic dildo, I was so excited! I must have tracked the package like fifty times before it arrived, and when it finally came, I couldn't believe my eyes. Inside a very unassuming box and a rather plain plastic packaging lay without a doubt one of the most realistic dildos I had ever lain eyes on; The "Emperor".

Immediately after opening the rather drab shrink plastic package, I noticed a very strong chemical smell; but it's my understanding that this is fairly common with rubber toys. I inspected farther and couldn't believe how heavy this thing seemed, but with 7 inches of insertable length and almost 2 inches in diameter, it's easy to see how this bad boy could weigh so much. With a little sadness I tucked my new friend away until playtime came later in the evening.

I have to admit I was a little intimidated by the size of the Emperor, but don't think for a moment I let that slow me down. I will say that this toy is definitely not for beginners, but as I had been wanting to upgrade from the toys I already had, the Emperor was that indeed. I indulged myself in some alone playtime first; fortunately the "Emperor" comes complete with a packet of water based lube, which I learned before my package arrived is best for rubber toys. I turned on one of my favorite porn videos, got out "ole faithful" (my favorite clit vibe) and prepared the "Emperor" for action with the little pack of lube. Once I was heated up and ready to go, I grabbed my new toy.

Initial insertion was a bit uncomfortable, but I had wanted something larger, so this was expected. What I didn't expect was how sensational this toy felt...It was so close to the real thing that I almost couldn't believe it. It has a wonderfully detailed head and shaft complete with vein like texture, and it even has balls which I found delightful for clit stimulation when I made use of the suction cup base and rode it like a true cowgirl.

Oh and by the way; that suction cup base really comes in handy. I've found several excellent places to attach it for maximum enjoyment. Suggestions include the shower wall and any non-porous chair or stool.

Later on, my hubby got to get into the action, as we enjoy using toys to enhance our sex life, and the emperor did that...and more! I was afraid he would be a little jealous because the toy is a tad bit bigger than him, but this was not the case. Actually, he seemed to get a thrill out of using this king sized toy on me.

The Emperor is flexible, but not too flexible, and its textured shaft sent me into shivers over and over again. I found the head is molded perfectly to hit just the right spot when my hubby uses it on me for some doggy style toy play. I wouldn't recommend using this toy without plenty of lube handy but if you're looking for something that packs a little more punch, then this is the toy for you. I recommend use with a strap-on butterfly and having yourself one hell of a solo flight.

Clean up was pretty easy, but I would suggest using a condom with it because of the porous surface of the rubber.

I was quite pleased with this product and I give it 3 stars. Only 3 because it had no vibe and very little by the way of clit stimulation which I am very fond of.
