HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. – Kake, the iconic leatherman character created by celebrated homoerotic artist Tom of Finland (Touko Laaksonen), vigorously defined gay culture in the 20^th Century. Hyper-masculine, hung like a bulldozer and dripping sex appeal, all Kake had to do was walk into a room and every man in the place dropped his pants.

Not surprisingly, a hand-sculpted, solid silicone rendition of Kake’s cock — the largest penis the late artist ever sketched — has become the standout among the Tom of Finland Pleasure Tools collection produced and marketed by XR Brands under license from the Tom of Finland Foundation. According to an XR Brands launch statement, fans will be able to enjoy the dildo as “a one-of-a-kind collector’s piece that can be enjoyed as an interactive piece of erotic art.”

The launch announcement also included a statement from XR Brands Director of Sales Rebecca Weinberg: “The Kake Cock has been the most talked-about piece from Tom of Finland Pleasure Tools, and anticipation of its official release has been growing ever since customers got a first-hand look at this summer’s recent trade show. We worked hand-in-hand with the Tom of Finland Foundation to make sure this rendition of Kake’s cock was perfect and in line with what Tom himself would have wanted, and we are all so proud of the result.”

We’re wondering how long some clever copy writer slaved over a hot keyboard to fit all the doubles entendre into that quote.

Made of solid, silver-toned silicone, the Kake Cock is packaged in an impressive acrylic display box with a copy of the Tom of Finland print from which it was sculpted.

“Many of our customers consider the Kake Cock to be a work of art in and of itself, and we wanted to create a corresponding display and package that directly reflect Tom’s aesthetic,” Weinberg said. “The Kake Cock, as well as the rest of the line’s intricately-crafted items, was inspired by the sexual freedom captured in Tom of Finland’s work, and XR Brands is proud to help spread his important message through the creation of Tom of Finland Pleasure Tools.”
