Success in editing the video. The quality is sub-par, and to be honest I became exceptionally frustrated so it’s not as good as I’d have hoped, but it’s complete and edited.
I am now just waiting on my Wife to watch it a few times to make sure my anonymity is secure and the precautions I took are enough. Call me paranoid, because I am. I enjoy being stealth.
I kind of feel like the video is null and void seeing as it covers a lot of my initial written review, alongside it being my hands moving a prosthetic around in front of a camera for nine minutes while talking – thats kind of odd.
Regardless, if it passes the Wife-test, it’ll be uploaded to youtube and then posted here.
Introduction: I’ve had this thing for a few days now, although due to the time of year and guests I haven’t had the privacy to play around much, and I prefer to be confident with a packer before I use it full time. I have however had enough experience with it for an intial report of sorts, so here it is. If you’d like to read my initial thoughts, they’re located here.
Packing: This is the aspect I was most looking forward to, and it’s the part that’s been the most challenging. The packer itself isn’t much larger than what I am used to in terms of length, yet in girth it is a little wider. The problematic part is the balls, as they need to be situated basically in between your legs against your natal anatomy, and there seems to be a lot of silicone around the receptacle area which, while useful for the urination feature, feel cumbersome for packing. This can be seen in the third photograph. As far is the rod is concerned, I can’t find a suitable way to pack with that in. I leave it out, and I don’t particularly care for it’s features unless I’m having sexytime. This kind of makes the whole “ready to go” aspect of it redundant for me, but it’s not something I was looking for when shopping for this product. Success has been found when poking the shaft out through the fly of briefs which have such a feature, then putting a snug pair of briefs over the top of it all. I feel like a jockstrap would work well, but mine’s gone AWOL.
Urination: I feel as though I can’t report much on this, as I’ve never had problems using any of the various STP devices available in the last 10 years. The balls however are very hollow and don’t flow down toward the shaft as easily as might be needed, which causes a slight fluid build up. This is resolved when you squeeze the balls and shake the shaft after voiding, but unless you’re careful about clean up – hygiene is a concern. The inside of the prothesis is particular rought cut, however this is merely cosmetic and does not effect function. Something I achieved with this prosthesis which I have never done with any other STP device before is simply open my jeans fly and piss without care, thought or adjustment of natal anatomy or STP device. It was very smooth and natural, however as mentioned ensuring liquid wasn’t left in the receptacle needed a bit of careful attention. That, right there, that one moment in time was worth it for me. Even if it never repeats itself. I felt whole.
Play: Due to stress and constant guests, I’ll leave this one until I have used these features. My Wife is also going to provide a summary of the erm.. recieving end.
Pleasure: The “pleasure” ridges inside the prosthesis actually do line up with my biological dick, and I can see that they will provide stimulation – however subtle that may be. This design seems rather dependant on luck of the geographical state of one’s anatomy, so I feel it wouldn’t work for a large proportion of the consumer population. Still, for those it does line up with, it’s a nice touch. Urgh, pun.
Overall:This is a very nice quality prosthetic for the price. I really like the detail on the prosthetic in terms of realism, and touch. The feel without the rod (and if wanting an erect feel, with the rod) is incredibly realistic. In hand, it just feels right. The coloring could be a little more realistic, as per the intial “paint upgrades” previously offered, but for silicone it’s nice to have various shades available for purchase. I could use a slightly smaller receptacle area, having come from the peecock which was my go-to, daily packer for the past long time I became accustomed to a shallower recepticle. The packing situation is most dissapointing, and I do feel this will be rectified slightly over time when my packer bends to it’s natural state for my body and preference of positioning a little more – this happened with my peecock. As in, I like to hang to the left, and eventually my peecock hung to the left off it’s own accord. If we’re talking numerical scores, I’d give this product a 7.5/10, due to the aforementioned packing difficulties.
There’s not long to go until Christmas, and we have only one weekend at home before we host Christmas for Wife’s parents and her family.
Needless to say, between work and preparing the house/land, I’ve not had much time to sit down and write. For that I do apologize.
All is well in our little family, though. K is so grown up now it’s beyond a joke – I feel like his maturity has soared in the last six months. It’s hard to put my finger on exactly what has changed, but all I know is I feel very blessed to have such an amazing little man as my Son.
K has had a big fear of swimming and putting his head under water in general since a rather horrific swimming lesson experience in Kindergarten where the teacher literally pushed his head under the water, and threatened him with a lack of Santa that year if he didn’t do it himself. Needless to say we fired that swimming coach, and it’s been a work in progress ever since.
We finally convinved him to give lessons another shot – I mean we live in Australia surrounded by gorgeous bodies of water, rivers and oceans. It’s just not safe if you don’t know how to swim around here.
So last week K had his first one-on-one, swimming lesson since Kindergarten. We didn’t tell the teacher how phobic he was, deliberately. She knew he was an absolute begginer but had no idea just how terrified he was at the thought of water over his head.
Within 10 minutes, K had jumped into the pool, had the water over his head and was doggie paddling across the width of the pool by himself.
This progressed to doing a series of Pin Drops – jumping feet first into the water, arms by your side and springing off the bottom. I was in awe. The instructor is absolutely brilliant, K was having the time of his life and although you could see his fear a little bit – he also knew he was very safe.
Proud is an understatement.
He says he can’t wait to go back this week, and can’t wait to finally go along with his school friends for group swimming next year.
SIde note: I am aware I need to review the Freetom Prosthesis! Had a little bit of a stuff around and I ordered it later than I anticipated by a few weeks, so I’m still waiting on it. Hopefully it will be here before Christmas and I promise to give a good review. I’m taking three whole weeks of around Christmas/New Year – I’ll have the time. Thanks for your patience.
It was Father’s Day here yesterday (Sunday) and I had a fantastic day. K made me an awesome card at school, and bought me a mug that says “Dad of the Year” on it. My Wife and K also got me a new axe, which was sorely needed seeing as when I split wood on Saturday I cut my hand on the splintered handle of the old axe. Alongside a metal Chevrolet sign for my garage and a new knife steel. My Wife joked that the knife steel is more a present for her, so I can hone her kitchen knives.
We had a lovely day doing not much – as per my request – and lazing about in the sunshine eating good food, telling stories and watching K play on our property.
Little K has been going really well. His tenth birthday was a short while back, and it absolutely boggles my mind.
On his birthday, he looked at me and said “Dad – In 8 years I’ll legally be an adult!”. I just about lost my mind, hah.
He’s doing well in school, and recently they learned about different types of family structures. He came home from school and announced to his Mother (I wasn’t home from work yet) that I was actually his Step-Father, and that didn’t matter because I’m still his Dad. We’d had this conversation before, but obviously the whole step-dad thing didn’t sink in. My Wife had a bit of a chat to him about it, but he was more interested in describing the types of family structures that his friends had, he found single parent families and blended families much more interesting and unique than ours.
He’s also been asking a lot of puberty related questions, which have been easily answered. Again, we’ve spoken about this prior with him however he’s much more interested in the answers this time around.
My Wife and I had our second wedding anniversary recently, and although we were both working I still managed to make it special by bringing her breakfast in bed, garden picked flowers and a card. I also got chocolates delivered to her work place.
This weekend is Father’s Day in the country I reside, and I’m very much looking forward to spending the day with my family. Hopefully there won’t be too much on in terms of planned activities and we can just take the day as it comes.
Our savings are coming along well for our house deposit, and it seems like it will all happen much faster than we anticipated. We’re in absolutely no rush though – the rental we are in is gorgeous and very reasonably priced, so the longer we save the more of a deposit we will have, thus less of a mortgage, Scary adult stuff is scary, but exciting.
K is most excited about the prospect of being able to paint his room any colour he desires.
Apologies for being so absent; I still check in occasionally, but unless there’s a question I don’t post very frequently.
I’m busy as hell though, between my job, volunteering with a local organization in the same field and being a husband/father – things are hectic. I wouldn’t have it any other way.
It’s odd – but for the first time in my life I finally feel like an adult.
Job interview went really well, I’ll find out some time this week if I was successful. I sure hope I was.
Life here has been ridiculously hectic. Cleaning the old house and unpacking the new one, leaves us living in the middle of chaos.
K is doing really well, though – despite our attentions being placed on logistics rather than family time.
In K’s world – life is amazing. He got himself a girlfriend. Or rather, she asked him out – and it’s actually adorable. On the day they began “dating”, he waited for her after school in order to open the school gate for her.
Despite all the disruptions, we still managed to sit around the fire pit last night and toast some marshmallows, which K absolutely adores (who doesn’t!?).
I even got to sharpen my axe for the occasion, as we had no chopped wood. I love splitting wood.
I’m still alive! Haha. I’ve been super busy moving house (again!), working and preparing for my dream job interview this coming weekend.
Things are chugging along quite nicely here in the country.
Little K seems to have more of an attitude now, and we’re getting into obnoxious territory but my Wife is amazing at handling these things so I let her take the reigns.
Anyhow – don’t hesitate to ask questions. I’ll answer them, it may just take a day or so.
