I've read the Wiki, looked at the polls, and looked at many threads. All the content directed at newbies is quite dated.
Considering newer models have come out in the meantime (and some retired/modified), I wonder, what do people recommend for newbies now?
It seems the Psy is getting rave reviews and this is much newer than all the newbie threads/polls. I know the Psy is adjustable which may be more in the realm of advanced users. But is it also a good choice for newbies or no?
What would you recommend as a first model?
Personally, I've had a little experience with some anal toys (like a Hush) but nothing prostate focused, that said, this thread could be more general.
The classic advice has been to start with the Helix, and I'd stand by that personally. I own a lot of different models, and I still find the Helix is a solid performer. Some models for me can be hit-and-miss, and I think the Helix is about as close to middle-of-the-road as it gets.
I'd recommend a non-syn model, because the hard plastic ones are easier to wash (and get completely clean), I find the Syn models can retain an odd smell unless I wash them a few extra times. But that's a "quality of life" feature that someone may or may not appreciate. The texture/feel of the Syn models is very good.
