Marital Aid Test Kitchen: Riding The Ribbed Rascal

I've mentioned my feelings about traditional dildos on previous occasions, But for those of you who were in the bathroom at the time, here's a recap: I usually don't get too excited about anything that appears to be a plastic approximation of a penis. Though those toys certainly have their time and place, they're not exactly what I would call innovative. So when I first saw the Rascal O2 (not to be confused with this or this), I wasn't chomping at the bit to get it inside me.

But there were a few things that gave me pause. For one thing, the Rascal is thick (1.7" wide). For another, it has a small hole in the bottom (similar to the Havana butt plug) that allows the user to convert it into a vibrator with the insertion of a tiny one-speed bullet vibe. And lastly, the surface is ribbed... for my pleasure? I decided to find out.

The Rascal is certainly not the widest toy I've ever used (remember this guy?), but unlike, say, the Eleven, the width is constant throughout the entire toy. As anyone with a vagina -- or even a brain -- may have surmised, that makes it feel a bit bigger than a tapered toy. And, for that matter, harder to move -- given its sheer size, I found the toy difficult to move in and out of my girlparts.

But I was not deterred by this: sliding the bullet vibe into the base, I decided to see how the Rascal fared as a vibrator. Given its silicone body, I felt fairly certain that it would take well to some vibration; and it just so happened that I was right. With the Rascal in, the vibrations on, and the tiniest bit of back and forth motion... well, the mood was set for a perfect evening of pleasure.

For those who prefer to throw a partner into their sex play, the Rascal has a wonderful flared base that makes it harness compatible. However, I'd recommend that only the most ardent size queens (or very warmed up adventurers) include the Rascal in any hard fucking -- I'd hate to see the damage this toy could wreak on the unprepared.
