To be fair, the Cowboy terrifies almost everyone! I bought it more for the hell of it than from any expectation of being able to use it much. Huge size aside, it's inconvenient to use. It is so big and so long it needs tons of lube, and it falls over sometimes so you have to have towels around. Honestly it's more trouble than it's worth for casual play. I only use it when I can devote a lot of time to it, which isn't often.

The intrigue looks great, if I can track one down somewhere I'd love to get it.

This is my first spotlight and I'm really enjoying this whole idea. Now to figure out what to ask.

Yeah tell me about it, when I drive back up to the Bay tomorrow there should be a pile of boxes sitting outside my door. I can hardly wait.

I've been trying to learn BDSM ropework lately and I've heard great stuff about that Two Knotty Boys book. I'd love to attend one of their clinics in San Francisco one of these days

I'm looking at some of the latest Tantus dildos and now that Smooth S shape and Romp from NobEssence. Gotta save of a few gift cards for that set. At least I have some reading to do in the meantime.

Haha, you got the last copy of almost all of those!

Let me know if you work the exercises in The Lowdown on Going Down into a little exercise guide pamphlet, I found all the writing to be ... not that great ... but the exercises were pretty nice. I wound up giving my copy away, but I feel like I should have photocopied the exercise sections first.

You could ask Kindred to try this and let you know how it goes, Research! He recently bought the NobEssence Seduction (aka Smooth S Shape) for his wife.
The small end of the Seduction works well for targeted prostate massage, much like the Pure Wand. The advantage to me is that it is much lighter in weight that the Pure Wand. You can get excellent leverage from the S-shaped design. The larger end is too large for me personally. I definitely think it would work, but it would be less direct stimulation and more of a "let me drive a steamroller over my prostate" type stimulation, much broader but still firm.

The Romp is also a very nice toy but is hands-free use. Your kegels move the Romp and the hard wood provides firm stimulation. However, since it's hands-free, it's harder to control hitting a specific spot. You may also want to check the measurements carefully since you did not like the G-rider. The bulge may not be positioned optimally for you.

I reviewed the Revo and would suspect that it may not work for you either if the G-rider did not since they are very similar in design and shape. There's also less control over being able to position it on a specific spot. Kegels didn't work well for me due to its bulk, but sitting on it did. The rotational head was nice. I think Tim enjoyed it more than I did. Of the two, I still prefer the G-rider.

It sounds like you may have better success with a probe/wand type toy such as the Smooth S rather than a hands-free such as the Revo. If so, the other large toy to consider would be the Eleven. It has a 2" end so again, think steamroller.

I probably would not recommend the T Rex for pegging, especially for a beginner. The insertable length is only 5-1/2" which is somewhat short. In some positions, it will come out easily which can lead to a frustrating experience. If you are looking for a pegging dildo of similar size, I'd recommend the Outlaw or Maverick. They have a slightly smaller circumference but much longer insertable length. Also, they are both Vixskin which is a wonderful dual-density silicone. Feel free to ask if you have additional questions regarding pegging.
