These people are not joking. I have a dildo that spreads me to 9 1/2" around but this beast's head truly does measure 11 1/2" around at its widest part. I just received it today and got really warmed up and it wasn't even close to going in. If I ever do crack the head the neighbours will probably here me yelling-with pleasure or pain I don't know. It's a monster for sure but a nice toy. I think I need something about 10 1/2" circumference so that I can work up. Can anyone recommend something?
