NEW TEXT, FEBRUARY 4 2013 After a long period of ignoring Sherri for reasons described in the old text, especially difficulty in cleaning, this item has become one of my favorite toys, after modifying the vaginal cavity by inserting an open ended cylinder of about 2.6" diameter, and within this cylinder inserting a Lilith Uterus removable closed ended vagina that is easy to remove and easy to clean, and is the finest vagina I have yet to encounter, and inserting into the cylinder (before the removable vagina is inserted) a TeddyBabes "Extra Pussy Velour Plush Insert" that protects against scrapes with the mouth of the cylinder, and prevents the removable vagina from descending too far into the cylinder. I created the open ended cylinder by cutting with a high grade Stanley knife the top off a strong lightly corrugated plastic bottle (corrugated to resist compression) from which I removed the top just above the beginning of the shoulder (i.e. I left a smidgen of the shoulder at the top of the bottle intact, to restrain the cylinder from sliding out of Sherri. Then, after lubricating both cylinder and Sherri's vaginal liberally with ID Glide, I inserted the cylinder, neck end first, taking care to make sure the cylinder was long enough so that it would not retract below Sherri's vaginal lips. Note that Sherri's vagina is capable of being dilated to a remarkable extent without breaking. Then I inserted the TeddyBabes Plush insert, which is removable, after having placed within the insert the removable vagina. I did all of this after two or three Jack Daniels, in a spirit of "Sherri is no damn use at present, let's try to make it work" and so cannot remember the exact details of the bottle from which the open ended cylinder was cut. The bottle was selected to accommodate the removable vagina without compressing it in any way, and was selected to be long enough so it would not be swallowed up into Sherri. The result is --- absolutely marvy. OLD TEXT, 8 MONTHS BEFORE This is my third life size ass. The first was the "CyberSkin Vibrating Perfect Ass", which is very good, weighs 17 pounds, and is easy to clean, though forget the vibrating part, which is puny. The second was "Robin's realistic ass", advertised at 14 pounds but the one I received weighed about 11 pounds, and costs less, was less satisfactory, too small, and much too prone to eject one's thang if it lost stiffness. As a 65 year old, one thing I find really important for a toy is that if my penis becomes soft, the toy will retain it and let it get hard again, rather than forcing it out. This third ass, Sherri, weighs about 18 pounds, but is a lot larger than the other two, because it has some kind of lightweight foam core. The flesh feels absolutely great, especially the vagina. It took awhile to get accustomed to and to find supports the right height, but is worth the effort. To facilitate entry I widened the vagina through gentle use of a $10 speculum. I find it helpful to have a backstop to prevent Sherri moving forward when I move forward: this causes Sherri to compress instead of sliding forward, which feels good inside. I wonder about durability and will report back later I found it very pleasurable to place Sherri on a swing. Sherri is very sexy to look at, feels great, retains me if I get soft, and is extremely enjoyable to ride. However, the vagina has only an entrance, and no exit, which makes it hard to clean. The Cyberskin Vibrating Perfect Ass, on the other hand, has a straightforward tunnel from the vaginal entrance to the base, that drains bodily fluids, and also allows water to wash through, and so is much easier to clean. Sherri's manufacturer should amend the design to provide a large vaginal exit tunnel to the base of the item, to allow fluids to drain. Until the design changes, the manufacturer (or vendor) should supply cleaning instructions and a manual cleaning kit to inject cleaning fluid and suction it out. It is not clear whether this product can be fully immersed in water without causing damage, or whether it can only be sponged off. The product is so good that I am putting a lot of effort into finding an efficient method for cleaning it. The central problem is that there is no drain from the vaginal cavity to the base, so that sperm forms a pool, instead of being drained by gravity, as in the Cyberskin Perfect Ass. Pools of sperm are a rich habitat for nasties to breed. One further point, for anal sex fans. Sherri has a really realistic anus, a little one inch tunnel of muscle, followed by what feels like a void. I am no great fan of rectal sex, having found that the anus offers only about 1 inch of relatively feeble muscle, versus the 6 or so inches of extremely strong muscle in the tunnel of a vagina, but Sherri has by far the most realistic rectum of all the three asses I have tried. MAY 20 UPDATE: I've found a simple (though a bit messy) method for cleaning Sherri. It is possible to put Sherri halfway into a 5 gallon Home Depot "Homer" bucket with her vagina facing the ceiling. The bucket supports her in a way that holds her in the right position. With a $10 speculum holding her vagina open to about 1.5 inches, I spray a toy cleaner inside her, and then I pour warm water from a 16 ounce spring water bottle (the vaginal cavity takes only about 4 ounces of water). I then invert the assembly to let the liquid drain into the bucket. To avoid spreading water all over the floor, do this in a shower or bathtub or put a large basin under the bucket. Repeat flushing several times. Then, speculum still in place, dry the vaginal cavity through using an electric fan. I think drying is important because bacteria and fungi require a moist surface, so that drying inhibits infection. JUNE 21 UPDATE: The cleaning method described in the May 20 update has failed. A few weeks back Sherri began to smell very skanky. I got rid of the smell by placing Sherri in a 5 gallon bucket with vagina facing upwards to the ceiling, opening the vagina wide with a speculum, spraying in some "Before After Adult Toy Cleaner", then filling the vagina with warm water, then putting my hand all the way in to rub clean all the interior surfaces, then drying. I think putting my hand in may have overstretched Sherri and damaged the internals, though Sherri still remains usable. To avoid the cleaning hassle I tried using an unlubricated condom (the lubricated type contains silicone) but this has not been very satisfying. In consequence my "main squeeze" is now the Cyberskin Perfect A**, which in my case reliably produces orgasms, and tolerates cleanings putting my hand all the way through from entrance to exit. Sherri is now only an occasional companion, sexy to look at, but frustratingly difficult to clean. DURABILITY: Sherri still holds together, though at the edges of the base there is some separation between the surface skin and the substrate. As noted above, aggressive cleaning of the vagina seems to have caused some damage, but the product remains usable. NEW TEXT, JANUARY 12 2014 I have found two new favorites in the past year. My most favorite is the "soft" version of the Lilith Uterus Male Masturbator produced by Tomax, made in Japan, for about $40, and worth every penny: it lasts about 6 months of frequent use and is ooh la la sensational. The runner up is a 5'4" love doll called Sabrina, produced by TeddyBabes, rather pricey, but really great for horizontal missionary style, both on top and below, as well as other positions, after modifications described elsewhere to accommodate my all too capacious belly.
