Soft touch penis - realistic dildo discontinued by Cal Exotics - review by oliverHyde

Cocks! Cocks are excellent fun. Fleshy realistic ones like this one make easily adaptable for gender play. Although the design isn't great for fucking, the realistic aesthetic make it fun as a dildo to gently fondle and admire. Realistic cocks often come in two options; affordable and absolutely crap or fantastic and really really expensive. This mid-range cock does a pretty good job of being realistic for its price, making it a good choice for beginners. It does, however, come with several compromises and is NOT ideal for strap on fucking. It *can* be put on an o-ring harness, be warned that it difficult to control.
This is a very pretty but not terribly functional cock best suited for creating a look and feel, not for creating orgasms.
It is passable as a packing penis as well, if you don't mind the enormous size and somewhat awkward stretching it does at the base. I recommend the Mr. Limpy instead for packing. If you, like me, are looking for a cock that can pack AND fuck... this one still falls short. It *can* be used for both, but its not ideal. The stretching problem makes it fold instead of going soft... which is kind of unusual and leads to some odd crawling around compared to my other soft packer.
You're better off packing with a soft packer while wearing a discrete harness (like the Rodeoh) and then keep a fucking cock (like this one for starters, and then this one once you're ready for a REALLY nice one) on hand to switch. It doesn't take much practice to do this switch quickly, and the results are WELL worth the cost of getting more toys.
This toy can be used for pack and play... but just be warned it is VERY difficult to control.

The texture is very realistic, especially for the price. Unlike a lot of fleshy realistic toys, it doesn't seem to get tacky at all. When it does get tacky, a little pinch of cornstarch takes care of it. It also doesn't seem to pick up lint quite as much as my other cocks do.
It feels and handles like real flesh. Squeezing and pulling it gives a pleasantly realistic amount of give and drag. The texture and realism does fall short if you squeeze hard enough to feel the crackling of the articulated core. Luckily, this takes a good deal of force to do, so it wasn't much of a problem.
While it does have an odor, its pretty subtle and fairly unobtrusive. I'd compare its odor strength to the smell of soap someone has fresh out of the shower. Its noticeable, but unobtrusive. My only problem with the odor is that it does stick to skin that touches it. After handling the cock, my hands smell like it for a while.
Its also cheap because its very porous. I recommend putting a condom over it as much as possible because its very tricky to clean. This is especially true if you're planning on using it anally and vaginally, or on multiple partners. Although this is a bit annoying, it's at least better than older realistic cocks in this range in that it is latex and pthalates-free.

This is where the toy really falls short. The texture is fantastic, the odor is subtle enough, the shape is pretty good, but its only firm in the cock itself. The balls are completely soft. This makes it so that although the cock is hard, it does not hold erectness at all when the cock is used. Instead, the cock flops around in an upsetting disjointed fashion from the base and balls. When used with a strap on, the rigid cock bit stretches from the soft base so that although the cock appears erect when held delicately by the base, all stability is lost the moment the cock is tugged.
And the stretching is pretty disturbing, at least to me. It only takes a little bit of tugging to make it stretch five inches... and that's a lot.
This makes it REALLY difficult to use with a strap on, and a bit awkward to use just with ones hands. Its just plain unwieldy at best.
The firmness in the cock is achieved by a kind of articulated core... I'm guessing its plastic. All I know is it makes a terrible creaking sound when I try to curve it. It sounds like someone popping their knuckles, but from inside the "bone" of the cock. The good news is that the stretching problem yields to pressure much sooner, so it didn't make the sound when in use. The bad news is that the stretching is a big enough problem that in the long run, it doesn't matter anyway.

When I get a new cock, the first thing I do is strap it on and give it a little tug to get a feel for it and judge how its going to behave with rough insertive strap on play. When I tried it with the soft touch penis, my cock stretched out to inhuman proportions and then flopped around rather uselessly the moment I took my hand off of it.
It was like something out of Beetlejuice. Trying to fuck with it was just plain silly. The cock stayed in place inside my wife and I stretched back and forth. No good!
We tried it for strap on blow job play (what I had originally got this toy for) and the stretching was still a problem. Any firm sucking and pulling back created the comic stretching instead of the pleasant tugging against my hips and harness that I love so much.
After all of that, I made the mistake of falling asleep with it on. At some point in the night my wife rolled on top of it and I rolled in the opposite direction. When I woke up I discovered this (in horror) and then was greeted with even more horror when I freed myself only to see the cock stretch even further before snapping back into place like a cartoon character. Like a lot of strap on fans (especially trans* ones like myself) my cock isn't just a toy, its an extension of myself. Clown though I am, I'm just not ready for my cock to be the joke.
While its texture is fantastic, this simple design flaw was enough of a problem that after three tries with it I threw it across the room in frustration.

Prevention is the best cure here. The soft touch penis is porous, so it will get germs easily. Condoms, condoms, condoms. I cannot say it enough. Defiantly use a condom if this toy is being used on multiple partners that don't want to be fluid bonded. I also urge caution if you're planning on using it anally because you cannot reliably clean it with soap. The toy still has a nice texture, even with a condom on it.
And with condom use, this toy is pretty easy to clean. Ordinary soap seems to clean lube, grime, and lint off of it pretty well. After nearly a year of use, this toy hasn't developed the smegma-like dinginess that my other realistic cocks have. (It also hasn't been used as much though, so it might have gotten off easy on this one...)
After washing, let it air dry on a flat surface and dust it with a pinch of corn starch. Just to be safe, I keep it away from silicone toys and silicone lube since it is a silicone/PVC blend. So far, it hasn't been a problem... but its not that much extra effort to keep it separate.

Ok, so ranting aside there are some things that can be done to mitigate the stretching problem. I've found that if I keep my hand firmly on the base of the cock and hold it to the base of my harness, it does ok. Its at least useable this way. I can also keep a condom in place with the same hand. It can work, its just not ideal.
There are ways to make this toy work out if you REALLY want a pack and play dildo. If its a low price you're looking for, I still lean towards the softee ballsy super cock. When I first got it, I hated it because its pink and it smells like the Easter Bunny. But after getting this cock and being INCREDIBLY frustrated with the handling problems, I went back to the softee as my favorite. Its cheaper, it handles better, and although it's not as realistically fleshy... it just works so much better in general that I end up using it much more often.
In the end, investing in a good cock is always worth the money. But if you have to compromise, know that the soft touch penis comes with a BIG handling problem.
