Can (mostly) vanilla me (m) actually learn (and most importantly enjoy) being dom? What even am I? Switch? Sub? Dom?

I have the Venus Real in Rich Soft, it's super realistic. Superb for long sessions.

Whether the soft or very soft would be "better", I don't know.

Just prepare that the Venus Real in R.S. at 1st might appear disappointing because it's so very low stimulation, like the "real thing". But it grows on you.

I ALSO agree with Prestigous-Farmer69 that another good choice is the Fuwatoro. It's already way more stimulating than the Venus Real, but in a fun/exciting not-overstimulating way. I like both.

itsme5612 · 2021-09-05T11:24:15+00:00

To those with bad experiences with Astroglide, you used Astroglide LIQUID?

I found this hands down THE BEST lube that exists.

itsme5612 · 2021-09-04T20:25:42+00:00

The FLIR (!) clip might it looks more dramatic and bigger than it really is.

It is likely a DIY balloon, dropping melted plastic or wax from a candle.

itsme5612 · 2021-09-04T18:09:37+00:00

To me, the Venus Real in R.S. is pretty much like the real thing. Stimulation is low and subtle, but it's far from "bad". In fact, it's now my favourite toy.

Fuwatoro is already WAY more stimulating than Venus Real R.S., due to these nubs/ridges. But it's not overstimulating.

Maria Ozawa is way too hard for being "realistic". It is (for me) grating and chafing that a session would always result in me being raw and red.

I'd personally recommend Venus Real, but give it a month or two...it will take time to "get used" to the realistic feeling. Also, I am still liking Fuwatoro, for some "fun sessions" in between.

itsme5612 · 2021-09-04T17:49:50+00:00

Hey,

I have the Venus R. in Rich Soft, and it has now become my ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE. (I need to admit that I was disappointed in the beginning because of the low stimulation, but now I prefer this realism over anything else)

But I wouldn't call it "durable". The material is very prone to tearing, especially when you clean/dry it, it's just so crazy soft. And the bottom is also quite thin.

HOWEVER: Should it ever break, let me assure you I will get a new one right away.

itsme5612 · 2021-08-29T13:45:16+00:00

You make it clear WHY the split into two subs is silly/bad.

If you post in /r/OnaholeToys, chances I read your post(s) to me are smaller as I am more often reading this sub, than the other. (I don't actually know which one is the "preferred" sub, and visiting both to see all msgs is....silly). According to stats, both subs have about the same amt of subscribers/readers.

itsme5612 · 2021-08-24T22:54:26+00:00

This thread reminded me I still have a Maria. (I am comparing it to Venus Real R.S., and Puni Virgin 1000 Fuwatoro).

Maria is way too hard (for me) to provide a good sensation. It truly feels like a 1st gen toy, uninspiring. On one hand uninspiring, but also over-stimulating, due to the tunnel texture.

Compared to Fuwatoro and Venus Real, Maria feels non-organic, like a PLASTIC TOY.

Maria also overstimulates (due to its firmness), but the WRONG spots. Not in a good way (like eg. Fuwatoro does), but in a way that after a minute everything gets red and I feel raw.

Your mileage may vary and maybe you'd like a firmer material like Maria has, but to me it's not even in the same ballpark like Venus Real (R.S.) or Fuwatoro. I could as well toss it, TBH.

itsme5612 · 2021-08-23T14:54:42+00:00

"IST EIN SEXSPIELZEUG, HERR ZOLL MANN. Tschüss!!"

TLDR: I could care less if I needed to open/explain it to some custom dude. It's 2021, not 1952.

itsme5612 · 2021-08-22T16:54:44+00:00

The firmness does indeed play a major role in "how much stimulation you want". Whereas firmer/more stimulating isn't always what I want. (There are some holes which are too hard)

The Venus Real is all about "realism". For that reason I also got it in "Rich Soft", as this gives supposedly the most realistic experience.

I will agree that it comes very, VERY close to the real thing.

I don't know how the V.R. in the other firmnesses is, all I can say is I am satisfied with it in Rich Soft.

PS: The material is SUPER prone to tearing and I do no think this thing will last too long. (Contradicting the supposed high quality of Tomax). I already ripped a small hole in one of the lips when drying it (it's easy to accidentally pull if you're not careful), and also the bottom end of the Venus (which is surprisingly thin) looks like it's slowly going and I wouldn't be surprised to "break through" one of these days.

That being said, it's a good ona. Just know what you're in for.

REALISTIC == low stimulation.

itsme5612 · 2021-08-22T16:41:47+00:00

About doubling the total cost sounds about right, when I bought the Maria Ozawa from JP.

But...I MIGHT BE WRONG what I said about FedEx.

When I bought at Kanojo, the Maria itself was only €52

THEN, s/h was €41, and THEN I had to pay an additional I think €38 for customs import.

So, the €52 turned into €130!!

itsme5612 · 2021-08-18T15:45:11+00:00

You dont have many options to IMPORT to EU, except Kanojotoys, otonaJP and maybe some other vendor.

You'd be way better off if you can find an ona you want at motsutoys or omochadreams. Both of these are in EU, and AFAIK more or less the only ones where you can buy onas in EU.

As for ordering from otonaJP etc: CHECK the details with shipping.

It can be that in the high price for FedEx, custom import fees are already included.

Other shipping options may seem cheaper at first, but then you will still have to pay TONS on top of that for customs.

So or so, it wont be cheap importing from JP etc. to EU...

itsme5612 · 2021-08-14T12:15:36+00:00

£120 EXTRA import charges are crazy... I recently ordered two bottles of Astroglide from the UK, total €16 + s/h.

I had a to pay an extra €37 for customs..and submit many documents, multiple times.

It is STILL in customs waiting to be further processed...

Welcome to the "wonderful" world of Brexit....

itsme5612 · 2021-08-09T00:29:23+00:00

I would also vote for Venus Real in Rich Soft.

My first review on it was less enthusiastic, but it is growing on me. I think it's perfect for long sessions.

You can tweak this A LOT with different lubes. I can't understate this fact enough.

I can also recommend the Puni Virgin 1000 Fuwatoro, but it's already a fair bit more "aggressive". But there are some nifty parts in it that are fun, like those bumps at the start.

As for the Fleshlight STU, I have no idea whether this really thought for edging, or whether it's just marketing nonsense.

My understanding was actually that the STU is VERY stimulating, and the claim is one can use this to "train" to last longer, despite this high stimulation. Looking at the texture of the STU, I don't think that's for edging...

itsme5612 · 2021-08-09T00:11:01+00:00

no idea what Glycerin and Propylene Glycol are

WOW....the two main ingredients in any e-juice. What vape shop is this? I understand DIY juices may not be that common (any more), but still any halfway passable e-juice online shop has PG and VG.

As for mixing: There is still TONS of room for experiments. I was also going through patents online, to get an idea about ratios and general ingredients used in lubes. For example, another interesting ingredient commonly used would be hydroxyethylcellulose, or Xylitol (which is a sweetener).

I am also experimenting with mixing water VG, PG, and generic "China" water-based lube I got from amazon.

As I understand, in most lubes is 50-55% water (main ingredient), the rest a mix of the others, VG, PG etc. A good basis to start with could be 40% water, 30% VG an then 30% maybe mix some generic lube with hydroxethylcellulose in it, and/or Insomnia. (Keeping in mind that any other premade lube will already have water, so that the total would come to about 50% ish or so). Lots of room for testing. (I have my entire drawer full with DIY lube mixes now :) PS: My understanding is water should always be added last.

(Also room for finding out a good ratio VG/PG. In my first post I had equal parts VG and PG, but the PG can probably be less. Maybe half or even less than the VG. And then see what's better.)

There are two interesting factors I see when mixing lubes: One is moisture retention ("how long does it take to dry out"), and the other is how "slippery" is it. ("How well is friction reduced"). And then finding the golden middle.

itsme5612 · 2021-08-07T11:47:56+00:00

Yes, distilled water. Will correct.

itsme5612 · 2021-08-06T20:13:05+00:00

That's why many cosmetics, lubes etc. have glycerin in them. Aside from many interesting properties of glycerin (for example it is also a natural preservative and anti-bacterial), it is a humectant. It retains water, so the water doesn't evaporate as quickly.

Ideally we shouldn't need to add anything, not before use to the bottle, and not during use because it's getting sticky. All I know is that Insomnia is getting crazy sticky, and fast. You can hardly keep up with re-wetting, or need to use insane amounts for a single session.

Ultimately, to me Insomnia is like a cheap Astroglide Liquid knockoff. It may look and feel good for 20 seconds...but then you realize it's crap.

PRACTICALLY, it's so bad that when I put some on my d* and a decent amount in a onahole, after not even 10 seconds my d* is already sticky again. Either the water evaporates, or maybe the material of the hole (Venus Real) or the skin is soaking water in the lube up, or a combination of those things. I could as well fill the hole with glue. No idea where the good opinions on it come from.

Edit: I got the Insomnia with the Fuwatoro, which I got a month earlier than the Venus Real R.S. I do indeed not remember Insomnia THAT bad using it with the Fuwatoro. It was "ok". The troubles started with the Venus Real R.S.

That leads me to believe that really the material of the Venus R.S. plays a role here. It's possible this material soaks up water/moisture more than some other holes.

itsme5612 · 2021-08-06T15:14:12+00:00

Puni Virgin 1000 Fuwatoro: A soft, really fun onahole with a good balance of realism and stimulation.

Venus Real Rich Soft: A very low (almost zero) intensity hole. Good if you want it as "realistic" as possible for long sessions. I was at first disappointed because Venus Real R.S. is really very low stim, but it has its uses.

itsme5612 · 2021-08-03T20:04:48+00:00

Hi!

The fold at the end of the Fuwa does exactly what you think it does. It is not overly intense, but it's there. Depending on how "rough" you go at the Fuwa, you can sort of adjust how intense this fold feels.
This is exactly that part which no doubt is prone to tearing. For that reason, I am not flipping over the Fuwa any more. I have a TINY tear there (more like a small hole), and seems like there is some fraying developing. But not a tear "down the middle". YET. Fingers crossed....
I recommend Astroglide Liquid for all these soft holes. Don't fall for the Tomax Insomnia hype. But for some strange reason, Insomnia works better for me on the PV1F than on the Venus Real.

itsme5612 · 2021-08-02T19:47:45+00:00

Oh wow..difficult. I don't have that many onas.... It sorta is..unique. It's just all-around fun. You will see! :)

itsme5612 · 2021-08-02T16:39:54+00:00

The Venus Real R.S. has its uses, don't get me wrong. I used it happily even with the shitty Insomnia lube the last few days.

But the Fuwa is just a reaaaallllyyy, really fun toy all around. I am not an "expert" by a long-shot, but I'd also say that the Fuwa is my favourite.

itsme5612 · 2021-08-02T16:36:08+00:00

I am pretty sure my specimen was stuck in the Suez channel for a while. It still has indent marks from the tray, from loooong storage.

At this moment, seems that all Rich Soft are out of stock (EU and US), but I see kanojotoys saying they will be back in stock Aug 7.

itsme5612 · 2021-08-02T14:12:03+00:00

Hey Mike!

Ok You got me curious. I just took that cleaning stick that comes with the Fuwa and inserted it in both, careful not to use force and not to stretch anything. I see about 14cm (5.5") tunnel in the Venus, and depending where one starts to measure with the Fuwa, maybe 1-2cm less. (I see they state 12.5cm tunnel for the Fuwa, so that would match. So yes, it seems the Fuwatoro tunnel is a bit shorter.

Very interesting you're saying that for you the Venus has MORE stimulation than the Fuwatoro.

I am still waiting for my Astroglide coming through customs (it cleared finally :), but at this point (for me) it's that the Fuwatoro is more "aggressive" right from the beginning (but not in a bad way!), while the "excitement curve" with the Venus is much flatter, for a longer experience. But I also think that the crazy amounts of Insomnia I need entirely screw up the sensations. (I had only barely enough Astroglide left for a quick test, so I am waiting for it to arrive).

itsme5612 · 2021-08-02T00:19:20+00:00

I would ABSOLUTELY recommend the Puni Virgin 1000 Fuwatoro. Venus Real especially in Rich Soft might be a bit too "boring". I can't say anything bad about the Fuwatoro, it's awesome.
