First and foremost, this was the first anal toy that I've ever purchased as a request from a hookup buddy at that time. As foreshadowed by the title, this is where I tell you that the toy was named after a guy who I dated who was awesome at anal play (As a side comment, does everyone else name their toys too?). I've owned the plug for over a year now. That being said, I have no idea why I thought it was a good start for a beginner. It's of rather large girth for someone who hasn't used anal toys in the past, and I found that I had to fight to even get it in to the second ridge. In addition, I couldn't keep it in even after I had worked on it for quite awhile and managed to fully insert it.

Despite the fact that this toy was a bit too much for me at first, I do like that it is rubber, it's smooth, and it doesn't have a strong smell. It's easily cleaned with soap and water (though I use toy wipes), and it doesn't have any small areas that are difficult to clean. It can also be used for vaginal play, which is what I most like it for despite the fact that it's shorter than my typical vibrator. I think the "ripple" of the toy can definitely be felt. One quick reminder: never switch your toys from anus to vagina as it can cause some serious infections and discomfort.

If you're a beginner, I strongly suggest you start with something smaller, but if you have some experience, you'll probably love this low-maintenance plug. Even those who just want vaginal play could enjoy this toy.

One last note: I knew nothing about name brands when I ordered this, but I've recently found that Doc Johnson is a very good name brand!

When I used this, I was shooting a couple of X-Rated pics for the boy toy. He thought it looked super sexy even though I couldn't fully insert it at first. I suggest lots of lube!

I still use this toy and I've had it for a long time! It's easy to clean and I can take it into the shower. Plus, I've gotten into the habit of sitting with it in and rocking as I'm on the edge of my tub and I actually orgasm this way like crazy! I still don't think it's the right starter toy for a beginner and most people will want to use lube with it. Oh, and as a plus, it dries extremely quickly and doesn't attract lint!
