The length to width ratio is easily explained thus: \sum_{n} \frac{1}{n^s} = \prod_{p} {\frac{1}{1 - \frac{1}{p^s}}}
It clearly demonstrates that as a dildo gets longer, it usually decreases in girth. However, a human arm remains the same girth the deeper it goes, so some rearranging of the fistee's insides are in order.
My favorite toy for deep excavations is a run of the mill Doc johnson 18" double dong, it goes around the sigmoid bend easily, and with very little practice. My longest toy is 39" and only 1" diameter. Then there's the python, two heads the size of baseballs, on a 2' shaft. Getting roughly a half of this in requires practice and dedication, however, when one head makes the bend, you begin to understand the meaning of full.
