Goodfella - dildo by Vixen Creations, Inc - review by Oneirogenic

The Goodfella has so many great features that it's hard to single out just one as a selling point. Not only is it incredibly realistic (try to find another flesh-toned silicone dildo with full, free-hanging balls--I dare you!), it's made of very soft, body-safe silicone that can be easily sterilized. The design is so ingenious and attractive that I'm surprised I haven't seen any copy-cats on the market.

While it really shines when being used in a harness, it works very well as a regular dildo. The flared base and balls make it easy to handle and manipulate, and also make it safe for anal use.

This is a great toy for trans-men, and works beautifully as a hard-packer. While I've seen some people say that you can pack with this in public, I have to wonder what they're using to strap this guy down. No matter what I'm wearing, it always looks like I'm sporting some serious wood. Great if that's what you're going for, but not discreet at all.

This toy is made out of some pretty durable silicone, considering how soft it is. I've had mine for nearly three years, and it's only got a bit of slight tearing thanks to some particularly rough oral sex. Because it's made entirely of non-porous silicone, it's very easily sterilized, which is good if you plan on using this anally or sharing it between partners.

Like all silicone toys, it's fairly sticky, but not exactly tacky. Because of this, it will attract fuzz, pubic hair, and just about anything else. A light dusting with corn starch will cut down on this considerably, though, as well as give it a very, very nice silky texture. Without corn starch or lube, it is almost impossible to give this toy a hand-job because it catches on skin very easily. The toy had a slight odor and taste right after buying it, but it has since disappeared completely.

The dick itself is soft and easily bended, but still very firm and erect. It has a firm but flexible core, covered in a squishy and pliable outer layer. It doesn't quite pinch and slide like real skin, but it's still very pleasant to the touch. The head and balls are squishy and very squeezable.

As of writing this, the Goodfella is the only silicone dildo I've been able to find with a full, round set of balls that actually hang outside of a harness. It's also fairly realistic for a single-color toy. I've seen some pretty well-done silicone color gradients in sex-toys before, so this is something that could possibly be improved upon. Despite the fact that it's monochrome, there is some nice detailing on the cock itself. There are some raised veins on the shaft, as well as some foreskin detailing and a visible bulge where the urethra would be. The head has a noticeable urethral opening, which is fun to run your finger over and adds even more tactile interest.

There is some noticeable texturing on the balls, with some wrinkles and a prominent, but still realistic seam (raphe) down the middle. The completely symmetrical, coin-purse balls are a little more petite and idealized than I would prefer, but that's just a matter of taste. Also, like I've said before, you aren't going to find many dildos with free-hanging balls, so beggars can't be choosers.

The size is pretty realistic for an FTM of average size, and it's definitely one of the smaller flesh-colored, harness compatible dildos out there with a full scrotum.

I've seen some people complain about the size, but for someone who isn't used to large toys, it feels very girthy and filling. It's slightly too large for my partner to take without a lot of prep and lube, but I find it to be a very good size for myself.

Like I said before, the Goodfella shines when used with a harness. It is very easy to slip in and out of an o-ring, but incredibly sturdy once it's in--this guy isn't going anywhere unless you want him to. In the right harness and with the right positioning, the wearer can get some noticeable friction with either the base or the balls, which feels pretty great in action.

The person on the receiving end is also in store for a treat, as the soft, slightly-curved, flexible shaft of the Goodfella contours very nicely to your body and hits the G-spot easily.

This is definitely a toy to keep away from prying eyes, if you're a more private sort of person, because it is not at all discreet. It's large, very obviously a penis, and will probably not be mistaken for anything other than a sex toy if found by another person. The balls, while a boon in the bedroom, do you no favors if you are trying to slip it into a purse or luggage for traveling.

This cock is made from pure silicone, which means it is not only very easy to care for, but also one of the safest materials that can be used in a sex toy. The body-safe, non-porous material can be easily sanitized with either soap and water, or a couple of minutes in boiling water.

Because it is silicone, however, it is only compatible with water-based lubricants, as silicone-based ones will degrade the toy. You also shouldn't store it up against other silicone toys for this reason.

Unless you plan on replacing it every couple of years, you should also be a at least a little careful during oral sex, since teeth can tear the soft outer layer of silicone. The tears on ours aren't very noticeable, but it's something to keep in mind if you want this expensive toy to last you a long time.

The Goodfella came packed in a fairly durable (still in one piece after almost 3 years!) plastic container. The toy can be stored in there, as it is resealable, and there are no sharp seams or corners to catch and tear the silicone. Because it's made of clear plastic, though, its contents are pretty much visible to the world, so it's not very discreet.

The Goodfella is a great addition to any gender-player or trans-man's arsenal. I originally chose it because it was sanitary and realistic, but it's remained one of both my and my partner's favorite toys. Because it's so comfortable, realistic and easy to use, it's almost become something of an extension of myself, even when it's stored safely in a drawer.

If or when it eventually wears out, I will most definitely be purchasing a new one.
