Doc Johnson Platinum The Gal Pal Strapless Strap-On Double Dildo 5 Inch

We decided to try this after using a harness strap-on for a couple of years.

This toy has really improved the pegging sessions we have now because we are able to get in to a lot more positions and it gives my partner pleasure too.

We sometimes use a vibrating wand on it while we use it to inhabited pleasure for both.

Amazed I managed to get my girlfriend to try it.

She was even playing with herself with it. Kept falling out, though, so could've been bigger or more rigid.

Both seemed to enjoy it, however, and I managed to go without touching my willy.

Packaging was also very discreet. I used the PO collection point.

I have been using this toy for about a year now so have put it though its paces and to be honest it will not be for everyone.

There are good points to this toy, including the design, and yes it can hit the spot very well.

But there is a major drawback to this style of toy which will result in some people wanting to throw it out of the window (yes I have nearly done this on many occasions). Basically it can be dislodged very easily if you try anything to energetic or move about too much resulting in disappointment.

You need to be very patient or be able to laugh it off (my partner and myself have both been rolling around in fits of laughter after the toy has been "spat" out and called it a few choice names).

The OH and I decided to try pegging because (much to his surprise), he really enjoyed me experimenting with my finger in his bum. I deliberately chose the Gal Pal for a number of reasons: It had the shortest insertable length so it wouldn't scare the life out of him.

It was strapless, because I wanted something quick and un-fiddly to use. It was inexpensive, because if we didn't like pegging we hadn't wasted lots of money on something we wouldn't use for its intended purpose again. It didn't resemble a penis in any way, just in case the OH found it a little bit off-putting for his first time! (Turns out I didn't need to worry about that, but you'll see at the end.)

I ordered our new toy on the Thursday night and eagerly awaited the chosen Saturday delivery. I ordered it as a surprise, but told him almost immediately. He was literally bursting with excitement by the time he visited me on the Sunday.

We opened the box together and at first he was a little worried about the size. I reassured him and showed him how much of it would actually go into him and he was fine with that.

We played for a while to get him relaxed and covered him in plenty of water-based lube. I started with my finger first. I then moved onto a finger sized bullet vibrator which blew him away, then he asked for the Gal Pal.

I went in first time with it held it in my hand so I could guide it very gently until he became used to it. He'd never had anything this size inserted before. He was enjoying the feel of the bulbs at the end though. He then asked me to wear it and use it on him properly.

I was so turned on I didn't need any lube, but as I had plenty on my hands and on the toy already it slid in with ease. It felt extremely comfortable to wear. I was a little worried it would fall out, but it held in place without any trouble at all.

Being our first time and having chosen such a small toy in length, we had to manoeuvre quite a bit to get in a good position. He lay on his back with a pillow beneath his hips and I was kneeling between his legs so I could play with his penis and testicles as I was thrusting into him.

I also wanted to see his face to know if he was enjoying it or not.

We soon found our rhythm and he was loving every moment. I could feel the shape of the toy working wonders for me too. It rubbed against my clitoris with every thrust and I had no problem at all reaching orgasm.

We stopped using using the Gal Pal at this point because he wanted to have a try of my larger black realistic dildo for size! (Told you so.)

We had an amazing first time with the Gal Pal and will certainly be looking at trying other strap-ons in different shapes and sizes.

My girlfriend and I had talked about trying a strap-on, but the thought of messing about with harnesses and things was rather intimidating, so I thought I'd give this a go and I haven't been disappointed.

It's firm but flexible, so can bend to suit various positions, and has a slightly 'grippy' finish to it - use one of Lovehoney's water-based lubes with it. As others have said, it does have a tendency to slip out at inopportune moments, which can be both frustrating and amusing.

Unfortunately I can't say it's given me any mind-blowing orgasms (I have yet to achieve the illusive 'O' in any of my endeavours) but it is certainly very pleasurable, and I enjoy using it both with a partner and by myself.
