“Oh my God, honey! It’s huge!” My wife said over the phone—laughing hysterically. In amazement, she was talking about the contents of the unexpected package she received in the mail and not my package. So if anything it was good for a chuckle. “You are not putting that inside me!” I explained it was more for me than for her. She was skeptical and said that my eyes may have gotten bigger than my bum.

When I got home, I was eager to see if it was too big, but also pretty eager to give it a go. Upon opening the box, I feared my wife was right. There—in all its carnival ride blue and almost as big glory—was the ringed Vinyl Vengeance. The packaging is nothing special—a blister pack with a cheesy cardboard insert. And the name: is this a sex toy or a really bad amateur horror flick? Initial bottom line: tacky, inexpensive and nothing special.

Vinyl Vengeance|Vinyl vengeance ringed has an odd and distinct odor. My wife likened it to blueberries. I thought blueberries and crude oil. The toy is sturdy, but flexible—stiff enough to insert while allowing a little “give.”

I spent some time on the sofa with a glass of wine and with a less daunting warm-up butt plug. My wife, possibly eager to see me suffer, was enjoying the anticipation. A short time later we moved to the bedroom and began fooling around. I took out the butt plug I had been wearing and grabbed the Vinyl Vengeance and the bottle of lube. “Be careful,” my wife said.

It took a little patience, some wiggling and a lot of lube, but once that first ring—2-¼ inches worth—slipped in, I was hooked. The feeling was like no other sexual experience. I moved the first ring of the dildo in an out a couple of times before trying the second ring and could feel blood rush to and from my face as well as other places. My wife started stroking me but I was already about to climax and didn’t want to yet so I had her hold off. After thrusting the dildo in and out for a short time, I felt it become easier and sat up on my knees so I could ride the toy. My wife held the base for me and then began to stroke my cock. I immediately came and collapsed.

I’ve used it a couple of times since then with similar experiences so I would say the toy is a keeper. Even though my initial reaction was poor, now I give it four stars—the smell keeps it from getting five. It doesn’t vibrate and the name is pretty dumb, but if you’re looking for an alternative anal toy, this large rippled dildo provides plenty of girth. Just use plenty of lube! And, by the way, my wife still refuses to try it.
