As a larger guy, I haven't had many BJs in general, even less of which were successful/to completion. With that, I'm probably not the best judge of "does this feel like the real thing?" But what I can say is that its the closest (feel-wise) I've gotten, and probably the closest I'll get ever! It really is a great device, the only cons I have (after a month or so of use) are:
1) Takes a LOT of lube. Buy extra. You'll need it.
2) Lube definitely leaks out if you go too deep. It's unavoidable. Just annoying to clean, but it doesn't infringe on enjoyment at all (for me anyway).
3) The depth is 6 inches, so if you're larger than 6in, its extremely easy to make lube shoot out everywhere if you go too far down. This took some getting used to for where the "stopping" point is with the device to prevent a mess, but its enjoyable once I figured it out. Some of the reviews have said the end "orb" is the most pleasurable part, but unfortunately I'm not able to experience a ton of it because its very easy to push too hard and leak lube.
That said, this is a great unit. So far, I have no cleaning issues. I've read that some people feel this is annoying to clean, but it really isn't hard to clean thoroughly -- rinse with hot water, I apply a sex toy cleaner, then dry with a Bounty paper towel in between crevasses as best as I can. Then, leave it open on its stand to dry (which it does thoroughly).
I have the Fleshlight STU as well, and this is a great alternative for different textures/sensations. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a BJ-styled texture/experience.
