Shape of a Dildo?

[campingboy]

I was talking with a friend that other day. She is heading off to another city to study for a year. I’m not sure how but we ended up talking about dildoes. Why is it that almost all realistic dildoes are shaped after circumcised penises? Is that the Sex Toy industry saying that a circumcised penis is sexier? Would you buy a toy modeled on an uncircumcised penis?

We never did resolve the question. After awhile we moved onto another topic.

Ummmm... maybe because if a dildo or vibe isn't shaped like a circumcised penis, it is a long, firm object with a tapered end, like almost every other dildo or vibrator made?
Think, hon. If you make a "realistic" dildo, you want to accent the features, so you pick the shapes with the most detail.

Or maybe not. I prefer the other kind anyway.

Well, for starters I think cut penises are more common in the US anyway. If you make realistic, you make it what your customers are 'realistically' used to.

And I think it'd probably be hard to make foreskin, too.

And yes, I probably would buy an 'uncut dildo' if there was such a thing that was done well.

I think it comes down to that when a man and a women have sex the penis is usuallly hard and therefore the head itself would stick out at the top. I have seen dildo's where they have tried at least to have foreskin on it. It was just behind the head and was what I can only describe 2 rib like rings that merged into the rest of it. So to answer your question, yes they do make them but it is just for look rather than anything else. Don't ask me if the ribbed rings do anything for the girl though. :huh:

Not an expert by any means (typical US cut male here), but it seems to me that the foreskin draws back on most fully erect members, and one would suppose there's very little demand for flacid dildoes...

CTG, I think you're dead on about the difficulty in making a realistic foreskin on a dildo...but I seem to remember seeing an "uncut" version in a catalog somewhere sometime...my guess is it had to be somewhat higher priced as well, so...

edit: ok, clearly mark beat me to the post by 3 minutes...BFD...

Sorry scotz

A few more points...
Firstly the foreskin doesn't always retract behind the head of the penis on all erect uncut dicks. Mine doesn't, for example, and haven't had enough experience to comment on how common it is!

But also doing a google search there ARE dildos with foreskin, or at least an attempt at foreskin... but i think generally they're pretty pathetic. It can't be easy to do...

Consider, the Foreskin Dildo (http://www.adultfuntoys.co.uk/adultfuntoys/pages/foreskin-dildo.html). Call that realisitic? I don't!
Or the Latex Foreskin Prosthetic (http://shop.theadulthub.com/catalog/product/1006/518847/latex%20foreskin%20prosthetic.aspx) - a ugly strap on that looks like it could scratch.
And then there's the Replicock (http://www.thepassionstore.co.uk/product.php/1755/0/). It doesn't even look like that foreskin moves, but it's hard to tell.

I did use the word "most" in my post, & disqualified myself as an expert beforehand...

When one considers the seemingly endless variety of live models, it's not surpising that the dildo makers (& wouldn't you love to have to tell people what your job is?) opt for a few models that are easiest to pop out of the mold.

Maybe it's just like Marvin & Tami put it, "Ain't Nothin' Like the Real Thing"...

[Loulabelle]

Maybe it's a combination of:

A lot of uncircumsiced men do have foreskins that pull all the way back when erect

It's difficult to make a realistic looking uncircumcised dildo

A woman really can't feel the difference between a circumcised and uncircumcised one when it's inside her.

So what would be the point of going to all the trouble of making one if it's going to be harder to make, not look realistic and not feel any different to the consumer?

When Mrs. WI's most favorite vibrator in the whole world passed away, I sought out a replacement. She prefers a nice thick, yet soft, vibrator. I found one with a good circumfrence that just happened to have a foreskin and thought it would be good for something different. When will I learn? She didn't want different, she wanted identical! The vibe worked ok but she didn't like how much it tapered to the head. She likes being filled the entire depth, not just the entrance. She also mentioned that she could not feel any difference with it having a foreskin. I thought she would be able to feel the vibe moving underneath the "skin" but she couldn't really tell.

We bought one of those high dollar kits that let you "clone" your penis into a dildo. I'm "uncut" and you really can't tell the difference because the foreskin pulls all the way back when erect. I'd like to say my clone is different from every other dildo out there but it looks pretty much the same.

Sadly, no.
