I don’t spend nearly as much time thinking about anal sex as you might imagine someone who works in a sex toy store might do. However, there are some weeks when it seems like it’s everywhere I look.

This week Fleshbot reviewed the Flexi Felix. This toy has been one of my favorite anal toys since the day we got it in the store. This ingenious toy is made of silicone so it lasts forever and is easy to clean. It’s also made of a slightly softer silicone so it has a bit of give or stretch to it. This can made it slightly harder to insert but it also means that each bead is easier on the sphincter muscles and also provides a bit of extra sensation when the beads are pulled out (slowly but consistently right before orgasm). All in all, this is an excellent design and by far the cutest butt toy around.

New at Bableand is the Perfect Plug. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see why they named it that. A nice medium shape and made out of glass, this plug is the perfect next step for the anal beginner who’s ready to take things up a notch. I don’t know if you’ve ever played with glass but if you have, you’ll know that it gets super-slick with some lube (always a plus when dealing with the ass) and you can play with temperature by heating up the plug or putting it in ice water. Lastly, if you’ve ever wanted to see the inside of someone’s ass (and who hasn’t, really?) then a glass plug will do the trick. Just get a little flashlight and you’re ready to go.
