Carnal Embrace

When I found out I could review a product for Good Vibes, I jumped at the chance. I had been dying to try a dildo–oddly enough, with the array of sex toys I have, everything is vibration and nothing is pure penetration.

I chose the Cyberskin Realistic Dildo in vanilla for a few reasons:
1. I am a visually stimulated person, and cocks are hot. I can’t do dildos with smiley faces on them.
2. I wanted a cock that felt like a cock.
3. Size does matter, and I wanted something that wouldn’t require too much effort (i.e. lube and prep) on my part. The Cyberskin dildo came in at 1.5 inches in girth.
4. It had balls. Billowy balls!

When I first opened the box, I have to admit I was a bit disappointed. The color seemed a bit off (too much pink and pallor?), and the shaft seemed rather floppy–I don’t know how much control you’d have over the toy if you used it on someone else.

The dildo is much more a solo toy, as the balls make it difficult to fit into a harness, but that was just fine for me. Despite my doubts in the beginning, I found that this dildo could make me come in a matter of seconds. Even though it’s not curved for the G-spot, it certainly stimulated me just fine. That said, though, I’m not sure this would be your toy of choice if you find it difficult to come vaginally or through penetration alone (but you could wrap one of those stretchy vibrating cock rings around it to change that).

The shaft turned out to feel hard enough, and while it was wrapped in a condom, it felt just like the real thing. The Cyberskin won’t fool you, but it did feel a lot nicer than even a quality silicone dildo. And then the balls…oh the balls! They feel soft and squishy, and if you take the toy all the way in and then fuck yourself senseless, the balls feel so comforting and real (if balls were, of course, naturally hairless and smooth). They don’t sway, per se, but their density and texture help stimulate the clit, butt, and thighs.

The only real cons about this toy don’t come from its construction but from the nature of having such a toy. The Cyberskin attracts all sorts of dust and debris. I dropped the dildo on the floor and it rolled underneath the bed, and you would not believe how much hair it retrieved (idea: use as lint remover?). Also, it’s porous and can never be 100% cleaned. It is absolutely necessary to wear a condom over the toy, which kinda sucks because 1) condoms cost money and 2) the condom takes forever to roll down this dildo and I want to get off NOW. Rubbing some cornstarch on the dildo, though, can keep it from getting too sticky.

Overall, it’s a keeper but not an absolute favorite. The prep time needed for this toy (lubing up self, picking off lint, applying condom) is actually greater than how long it takes to get me off, but that’s not too bad a gripe. This toy is great for people who want to come from getting fucked by a cock–sans vibration, undue noise, and creepy smiley faces.
