First and foremost, this toy is -not- for beginners. Made from Pleasureskin, this baby feels amazing and is very lifelike. I found a good lubricant, and lots of it, was necessary for me for insertion. Because Pleasureskin is such a porous material, you may want to consider using it with a condom to avoid bacteria.

The suction cup at the base makes this dildo a great choice for many situations: stuck to the bottom or side of the tub, the shower wall, a wooden chair, or even the bedroom wall. If you're going to involve it in harness play, make sure that you're not too rough with it, as Pleasureskin is a delicate material in comparison to many others, and this dildo is easily damaged.

I have only used this toy for vaginal use, but it could also be used for anal with the proper lubrication and gentleness. I'd also toss on a condom and/or a trusted antibacterial sanitizer if you're going to use this for anal play, just for safe measures.

The first time I encountered Adam's Pleasureskin, two things went through my mind after I took it out of the package; One, "Oh my goodness, that is never going to fit", and two "Man, that smells pretty awful". But I was very quickly turned back on after I picked it up and held it in my hand. When I wrapped my hands around the shaft and gave it a squeeze, it had that resistance of squeezing a real erect penis, but enough give to know that it wouldn't hurt (much) inserting it. It also still retains that same strong chemical odor, months later.

Upon closer inspection, I was very impressed at the detail involved. From head to balls, this dildo tries its best to remain lifelike. The texture of the scrotum is bumpy, and even reflects asymmetrical balls, where the vein runs down the center. The shaft is nice and veined, and while the package touts that the veins are hand painted, I don't see any difference in color between them and anywhere else. The head has a nice ridge between it and the shaft, and has enough give in the tip to accommodate a tighter place.

That all being said, as much as the head and shaft have some give, this toy is not small, and it is not designed for beginners.

It is very large in comparison to your average real penis, and it's even big in comparison to your average lifelike dildo. It stands at roughly 8.5 inches, from base to head, with 6.5 inches of insertable length. It's biggest feature, though, is the girth, measuring in at a 6 inch circumference.

There is nothing out of the ordinary in the shape of this dildo that you wouldn't find on a real penis, other than the size. Upon first contact, a beginner is going to end up clenching in fear. A more advanced user, however, will be pulsing in anticipation.

The suction cup on Adam is amazing. I have literally stuck this to my ceiling and it took a good 5 minutes for it to come off - that's saying a lot, since this weights a pound and a half! If you have the patience to find the height that it will work for you, a shower wall, or even bedroom wall for doggy-style, can be a sensational experience.

I have repeatedly mentioned the girth, because that is the biggest turnoff for me, and could likely be the biggest turnon for others. I found Adam to be too big for me to comfortably take without a lot of warm-up, and even more lubrication. It was almost too big for me to uncomfortably take at first, and if I'm not in the mood for this toy, and the time investment behind getting to enjoy it, I won't even reach for it in my drawer, because I know that it isn't cut out for wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am sessions, at least from my experiences.

I have found this toy to downright piss me off when it comes to the care and maintenance of it. Dust, lint, hair - you name it, it'll get stuck to Adam. It should be rinsed thoroughly before each use to get off the fuzzies, and washed with warm water and antibacterial soap after each use, since it's so porous. Condoms are a must if you're going to share this toy.

There is nothing discreet about the packaging this toy comes in, especially with the words "THE DICK OF YOUR DREAMS" written across the bottom.

See-through plastic shows you exactly what you're getting - a 8.5 inch, thick dildo. The cover has a nude woman on it, with a "TRY ME," "BUY ME" ring right by where her breasts would be, so that you can feel the material of the product, while cleverly feeling this woman's tits. It also contains a very small package of lubrication.

With a lot of lubrication, and a heavy level of arousal, this toy worked for me very nicely, and it's given me some incredible orgasms. However, I find it to be too girthy for me overall, since I don't always want to have to go through 5 minutes of warm-up before I can really get into it. For those who find this type of thickness to be ideal for them, this toy would be a HUGE hit - pun intended.
