You will see a slight curve in the shaft which might work for G-Spotting for some but not for others. With the flared base on the No.9 it is safe to use for anal penetration and could also be used in a harness if you like using harnesses for anal play. The flared base will keep you from having to explain how you got a dildo stuck in your bum. The No.9 will and can appeal to many people from beginners to intermediate users and some advanced toy users might enjoy it as well as long as they aren't size queens. I don't see this piece being intimidating to anyone especially newcomers to the toy scene especially to the glass scene. No.9 measures in at 6 inches long with 5.75 inches of that being inserted. It is 1.25 inches in diameter which for me is around perfect since there is no give to the toy. If you are using this with a partner communicate what feels good and what doesn't, since there is NO give to the No.9 you can cause cervical bruising if you thrust too hard. The dildo, is clear with a "swirl of ribbon" down the middle of the shaft that is blue as well as iridescent and changes colors in some spots. The color changing depends on how the light hits it.
The ridges towards the head of the No.9 collects bodily fluids so you want to make sure you clean in between the ridges very carefully to get it all.
Aside from the pinching I encountered everything else was perfect from the slight curve to the beautiful design. I loved the length and the width of this piece. I am not one for BIG toys unless they have some give so with glass I try to stick with a 1 inch or so in girth.
I personally don't do temperature play I use my glass at room temperature and that is always cold enough for me. I can tell you that glass retains heat really well going from room temp to body temp takes a few minutes.
If you like the No. 9 you can order if from here!!!!
