My wife and I use dildos differently from many couples. She prefers "the real thing" to dildos, but fortunately indulges my love of dildo oral sex and pegging (I'm the receiver). We have a number of dildos, mostly either CyberSkin or VixSkin. Through trial and error, we've found that with dildos, the right size is VERY important, and that only quality and realism are more important to us. My all-time favorite realistic dildo is the CyberSkin Dream Dick, but because CyberSkin is porous, it requires a condom for anal use - and after two years of play, it's starting to come apart. We love our VixSkin Johnny but wanted to try something a little bigger. We saw the Captain and were intrigued when we saw it's about the same size as the Dream Dick, only made of more durable, non-porous, easier to clean silicone. So we asked SheVibe about it - and to our delight, they were already in the process of ordering it! With their usual fantastic customer service and quick shipping, we soon had our Captain. First impression was that the Captain is VERY firm, NOT skin-like in the way of VixSkin or CyberSkin. But nicely realistic, with a great size, shape and details like ridges, veins, etc. After a couple of sessions of play, I can report that the Captain's very good for anal use - IF you are an experienced player who likes BIG dildos. The Captain feels MUCH thicker than the Dream Dick, because of the solid design. In fact, I'd say the Captain feels a little thicker even than the VixSkin Maverick, even though the Maverick measures in at 2" diameter compared to Captain's 1.9". Also because of the solid design, I don't like the Captain for oral use (I seem to be in the minority when it comes to sucking on dildos - I love to do it). No idea whether he's good for vaginal use because my wife only likes the real thing (lucky me!). But if you like your dildos firm, beautifully crafted, easy to use and care for - and BIG - then I think you'll like the Captain.
