Totally agree with you! My max length is 6 - 6.5 inches, I have longer toys but don’t use the full length. Have you seen the new dual density dildos that came out today? I’ve included them in this thread. One of them is 6.5 inches long and 6 inches in circumference.
9.5 inches! wow! Sounds like you’ll have fun working towards it though. I’d love to try this one day but still a long way off. Weirdly I’m better with girthier toys than slim ones but still not there yet.
