I am a 24-year-old FTM and have been reading your column since I was a young teenager. Thankfully, because of your wonderful advice over the years, I have yet to have any problems that warranted writing in to you.

I would like to respond to SITQIALS in regards to not finding strap-ons as appealing as true flesh and blood. I will agree, most strap-ons aren't anywhere near the actual thing—they're hard, cold, and can sometimes be painful (and not in the good way). My partner and I struggled for a long time searching for something that would satisfy us both as far as realism.

Here's my suggestion to SITQIALS: when you find that wonderful GGG gal, take her to your nearest sex toy shop and find the Vixskin line of strap-ons. The Vixskins have an outer silicone layer that comes as close to the real deal as possible. They even absorb body heat. The added benefit of the Vixskin line is that they are non-toxic toys (check out the The Coalition Against Toxic Toys at badvibes.org.

Thanks for all of the wonderful advice you give, Dan!
