I wanted to surprise my wife and get her the brown one. When it arrived, my first impression was that it was not very dark. I'm Caucasian, and my real cock is just a shade lighter than this. However, the size is exactly what my wife prefers for most toys, and the shape and details of the molding are excellent. The head is very round and it facilitates easy insertion and withdrawal. There is a strong rubber smell, especially for the first couple of weeks. The Vibrating Emperor|Realistic vibrator by California Exotic has a porous texture, so it should be protected with a condom to prevent dirt and bacteria from collecting.

My wife enjoyed it, but it was nothing special. We already had similar realistic vibrators in size and shape, and the sole purpose of buying this one was to bring a "little color" into the bedroom. We both thought that the color would be a turn-on, but since it was not too dark, that did not work for us. The black one that they had looked too dark, but in hindsight, that was the one that we should have went with. She found the vibration to be adequate. We generally do not like the wheel-type controllers, but the Vibrating Emperor's was very easy to use and was very responsive. The noise level was what we expected from this type of toy. The cord could be about six inches longer, though. We found that the suction cup worked great, both at gripping and by being gripped!

All in all, the Vibrating Emperor is a well functioning realistic vibrator that is sure to please. It's size and shape will not be intimidating for those who are buying their first toy, and will give those that are more experienced a level of satisfaction. My wife has consistent orgasms with it, and other than it being lighter than we hoped for, it meets our expectations!
