If there were a professional-grade for sex toys, the Sire would definitely qualify. Molded in silky-smooth medical-grade silicone, this quality toy from Tantus is built to last. It doesn’t really seem fair to call it a toy, though, because it’s more like a sturdy tool. A gal who favors a thick, stiff tool for her vagina might think none could be finer.

My girl prefers vibes on the outside, so she seldom gets into dildo action. She demands the real thing in her pussy. So if there were any entering to be done, it would be up to me. The cherry-red Sire looked so good I couldn’t decide whether to lick it or sit on it. Well, I have to admit my eyes were bigger than my ass. It took only one try to convince me this butt buster was too much for me, so it’s definitely not a good fit for a novice. It would take an ass far more limber than mine to accommodate its five-inch girth. That’s a 1 5/8-inch diameter with a bit more than six inches of usable length. Think late-summer zucchini. But, hey, different strokes for different folks, so anyone planning to use it in the back door should be aware that the rim on the Sire’s realistic head can snag, so exit gently.

 Like all Tantus sex toys, the Sire is made of solid silicone, which I believe is the perfect material for sex toys. It’s hypoallergenic and its slick, non-porous surface not only takes lube well, it’s a breeze to keep clean. Boil it, bleach it, it is dishwasher safe (top shelf, no soap!), and you can even toss it in with the laundry.

The Sire is an impressive example of the dildo craftsman’s art, aesthetic as well as erotic. It almost seems a shame to hide it in a drawer. The wide base prevents it from going too far, and also allows it to stand firmly on its own while you’re fumbling to get the top off the lube. It’s also harness compatible.
