Review: Juliet Toys Doral realistic dildo

Kate Sloan

Behold this silly photo: This is the smallest size that the Juliet Toys Doral is available in. Can you believe?! The SMALLEST SIZE!! I had to triple-fact-check that just now, but it’s true: size S has about 7″ of insertable length, and its widest diameter (toward the base of the shaft) is nearly 2.5″.

In other words, not only have I never fucked a human dick as big as the “small” Doral – I’ve never even seen a human dick this big in-person. So you can understand why, when I first took it out of its packaging, I laughed out loud for about a minute, and then started looking around for the lube. (That’s a joke; I’m never more than two feet away from a bottle of Sutil… 😂) The other sizes of the Doral range from M through XXXL, and boy oh boy, am I ever glad I went with the small!

Things I like about the Juliet Toys Doral dildo

  • I think folks who fetishize big dicks would really enjoy this toy. Visually and sensation-wise, it’s pretty realistic, with its lightly veined and ribbed texture, lovely coronal ridge, and foreskin-like bunching just below that. For me, it definitely pairs well with fantasies about getting railed.
  • On that note, I like the size more than I was expecting to. It’s not an everyday desire for me, certainly, but that sliiiightly-painful stretching sensation from supersized penetration is sometimes kinda hot in a masochistic way. Just please make sure to use enough (water-based) lube with big toys, babes!
  • Speaking of lube, this toy is made of silicone that feels silky to the touch, rather than draggy. When properly lubed, it gets super slick, and slides in and out without much friction – which is especially important with big, heavy dildos like this, where any added resistance can tire out your arms and hands quickly when you’re thrusting the toy manually. My arm and hand still got a bit tired after using the Doral, but it was more because of the weird shape of the base (of which more below).
  • The wide suction-cup base will be appreciated by users who like to use toys hands-free on hard, flat surfaces (like a tiled floor, shower wall, or mirror), and it works decently well, despite this chonky toy’s weight (1.16 lbs).
  • Orgasms with this toy inside me are really intense and satisfying, because of how filling and squishy it is. (As ever, I pair it with a clit vibe to get there.) It’s unusual that I surprise myself with how loud my moans are, but that’s what happened with the Doral.

Things I don’t like about the Juliet Toys Doral dildo

  • As discussed in yesterday’s review, Juliet Toys’s sister company Nothosaur has done some stuff that could be charitably described as yikes-o-rama: they’ve copied designs from other sex toy companies (including some small indie makers), posted content that featured animal abuse, and sent legal threats to some people who called them out on this stuff (thanks to Vulpes for the info). I find all of this gross and indefensible, and am only continuing with these review assignments because of contractual obligation + financial need. ☹️
  • Wish it was available in more than one skin tone – and that its white skin tone was not referred to simply as “flesh”! Again: yikes!
  • The Doral doesn’t exactly target any erogenous zones; it’s more of a ‘battering ram’ type of toy – which is a lot of people’s jam, for sure! But I can’t get it deep enough into me to hit my A-spot, unfortunately, because its thick head just bumps into my cervix when I try. Its coronal ridge kinda strokes my G-spot, but not with the degree of intensity I’d need to squirt or have a blended orgasm. So, while coming on this toy feels good, the journey toward orgasm is often more tiresome than pleasurable for me, and I mainly focus on clit stimulation to get off.
  • The tube-lookin’ thing that runs along the underside of the penis, sometimes known as the corpus spongiosum, is one of many cock features that I find sexy… but it’s too pronounced for my tastes on this particular dildo! My posterior vaginal wall (the one closest to the butt) isn’t very sexually sensitive and doesn’t like much pressure; your mileage may vary.
  • The Doral is very prone to rotating around inside me during use, as there’s no visual marker on the base to help you keep it oriented correctly. You can sort of refer to the veins on the shaft for this, but they’re not perfectly centered.
  • The suction-cup base is thinner/flimsier than it should be, especially for a dildo of this size/weight. It often becomes uncomfortable to hold and thrust with after a few minutes.
  • As is common for dildos with ridgy foreskins, this one is a bit tricky to clean without a scrub brush, old toothbrush, etc.

Final thoughts

The Juliet Toys Doral is a decent big dick, as far as big dicks go… but there are other big dicks in the sea, including some by indie makers who create their own original designs. As is, I find it hard to recommend this toy, due to its makers’ shoddy ethics, plus the physical flaws mentioned above… and in the world of sex toys, as in life, even the best dick in the world isn’t worth putting up with bullshit for.

Review: Juliet Toys Serpent King fantasy dildo

Kate Sloan

I’ve never sexually fantasized about humanoid reptile-like creatures, but I can sort of see the appeal. When depicted in media, usually they sensually hiss all their dialogue, emanate a charismatically evil aura, and are confusingly attractive. On top of all that, some slang terms for a penis include “trouser snake,” “one-eyed snake,” and “anaconda” – and a person who’s skilled at pleasuring cocks is sometimes known as a “snake charmer.” (I prefer “penis genius,” personally.) There’s even a whole subgenre of porn featuring people who’ve had their tongues split, which opens up new oral pleasure possibilities – and also suggests that plenty of folks are turned on by that serpentine aesthetic.

No doubt the threat of venom is part of these creatures’ erotic appeal, too. Many of us humans love a spicy dash of danger whipped into our sex smoothie, hence the proliferation of kinks like consensual non-consent and fear play – so it makes sense to me that some of us would eroticize, in fantasy, the fear that we are fucking someone who could literally poison us to death at any time if they wanted to. It’s similar to the tension at the heart of the Twilight series, which, poorly written though it may be, clearly reflected many people’s deeply-held fantasies or it wouldn’t have become so popular; in that story, a sexy vampire fights against his natural desire to drink blood, specifically the blood of the woman he is in love with. I wouldn’t want that to be my reality, but in fantasy at least, it can be hot to know that someone has the power to hurt you, and is choosing not to… yet.

All this has been on my mind lately because I’ve been testing out the Serpent King dildo from fantasy sex toy company Juliet Toys. I’m not sure that there’s anything especially serpentine about it besides the name, but whatever! Let’s talk about it.

Specs & size

As with many dildos on the Juliet Toys website, this one is available in multiple different sizes. I went with the small size, because I’m not feeling particularly vaginally ambitious lately – it’s got 4.7″ of insertable length and its widest diameter is 1.8″. The other sizes available range from 6″ x 2.2″ all the way up to 8.3″ x 3″.

This dildo is only available in one firmness, and I’d describe it as medium to medium-soft – I can bend the dildo fully in half with a bit of effort, but it’s firm enough that I can insert it into my vag or butt easily enough without it flopping around.

Things I like about the Juliet Toys Serpent King dildo:

  • The coronal ridge and veiny texture are nice, and not too overwhelming like these types of textures sometimes can be, because the Serpent King’s silicone is relatively squishy. I find it most stimulating when I thrust it fast, whether it’s massaging my vaginal or anal walls – I tried both, and both holes were pleasantly surprised! Thrusted more slowly, though, it feels a lot subtler.
  • I like that the small size is actually small. As I mentioned, my vag has been somewhat averse to larger penetration lately, and it’s surprisingly rare to find a fantasy dildo that isn’t massive.
  • The silicone’s squishiness, while not ideal for G-spot or prostate stimulation (see below), lent a pleasant stress-ball-like effect to my orgasms as my vag rhythmically squeezed it. As per usual with this type of dildo, I found that it felt good during orgasm for this reason, but didn’t contribute much to my journey toward orgasm because it wasn’t stimulating particular erogenous zones.
  • I always appreciate a dildo with balls, particularly since they are often easier to hold than standard dildo bases, even with my chronically sore hands, and they also help me keep the dildo oriented correctly inside me instead of rotating sideways during use. Also, the squishiness of this silicone formulation feels realistically balls-like in a fun way. (I guess I like balls, huh?)
  • It only costs $49.90, making it a potentially budget-friendly pick.

Things I don’t like about the Juliet Toys Serpent King dildo:

  • Unfortunately, Juliet Toys is a sister company of Nothosaur, which is not an ethical company (details here, with thanks to Vulpes, who kindly brought this to my attention). They sell a number of designs that appear to be copied from other companies including some small/indie makers, they have posted content featuring animal abuse (!!), and have sent legal threats to some people who have pointed out these issues. I find all of this behavior abhorrent and truly wish I was in a financial position right now to be able to cancel/decline these review assignments for this reason. I would recommend – for dildos in general but especially for fantasy dildos – that you buy from indie makers who design their own products and don’t rely on plagiarism and legal threats to stay afloat; some that I can recommend include Funkit Toys, Hole Punch Toys, Geeky Sex Toys, and Uberrime, but there are tons more out there.
  • While the Serpent King is repeatedly described by Juliet Toys as a curved dildo that can hit the G-spot or prostate, in practice I find that its curve is far too mild and its silicone is far too squishy for that to be effective, at least in this small size (although I think the effect would be similar in larger sizes too). It brushes past my G-spot on each stroke, sure, but the bulk of the stimulation is just the textured surface against my vaginal walls in general; it doesn’t have the chutzpah to apply actual pressure to my G-spot, which is what that spot tends to want.
  • Here’s a complaint I’ve never had about a sex toy before: The pee-hole (urethra? can a dildo have a urethra? idk!!) is weirdly deep, which makes it a bit tricky to clean. I suppose this is supposed to look reptilian or something?

Final thoughts

While I think the veiny design of the Serpent King is intricate and enjoyable (albeit probably plagiarized from another sex toy company), I can’t recommend in good faith that you shop at Juliet Toys, for the ethical reasons discussed above. *sigh*

I also just think there are plenty of better dildos out there, dildos that target the G-spot or prostate better – with a bang, not a slither.
