The Bottoms Up Butt Plug Set from Topco are a great place to start in anal play. You get two soft, silicone butt plugs that are both 10cm long (insertable) and 3cm in diameter at their largest points. One is moulded in the form of three beads of increasing size and the other has a cone shaped tip and narrow ridged shaft. I tried out both butt plugs with surprising results.

Using a little water based lube I was able to insert the butt plug with three balls quite easily until I reached the third ball, then things got a little awkward. No amount of cajoling and lube would persuade the third ball to pop into place. I think this is due to the silicone being very soft, causing the thin shaft between the balls to twist as it enters and not push the first and second balls out of the way. We gave up on that butt plug and tried the other.

This was much more useable, comfortable and stimulating. Once the widest part of the head of the butt plug had been gently pushed inside me my body did the rest, drawing it inside until only the ring on the end remained exposed.

I used this butt plug while having sex. It turned out to be great, massaging my prostate so that when I came the orgasm was electric. It left me panting and breathless, then gave me another burst of sensation as I popped it out when my orgasm had subsided. It really took my breath away. Marvellous.

If you want to experiment with anal toys this is a great way to start. You’ll not find a better cheap butt plug set. They are made from body friendly silicone, are easy to insert, remove and clean. And of course as there are two designs it’s almost certain at least one of them will suit you. Just remember as with all anal toys to have plenty of water based lube to hand.

Your Best Mate Billy …

The Lelo Billy anal vibrator is the sort of sex toy that a lot of men would not even consider buying, even if they knew it existed. This is a shame because any man who has tried anal stimulation knows that it can be fun and often intense. To find out more about anal stimulation in general you can read this article.

There are an increasing number of anal sex toys aimed at men and the Billy is exactly that. Lelo primarily produce toys for women but have recently expanded into the male market, firstly with the Bob butt plug and Bo cock ring. The Lelo Billy vibrator is actually a slight modification of their slim Liv vibrator. The only changes being the colour of the insertable silicone section, the replacement of the chrome band at the base of the silicone with a collar to prevent the toy from being inserted too deeply and some changes to the instruction manual and demeanour of the marketing.

Like all Lelo sex toys the Billy is not the cheapest but is ideal for men wishing to experiment with anal sex toys for the first time. For many the £80 (or thereabouts) you will have to pay to get your hands on one may seem like a lot of cash but it does guarantee a quality product that is easy to use, designed specifically for male anal stimulation and reliable. Most of the cheaper sex toys can not claim all that.

Lelo recommend that you use their toy with a water base lube, not silicone as this can damage the silicone section. Being a rechargeable sex toy does mean that you will have to wait before you can use it but the advantages of not having to replace the batteries in it more than makes up for that and goes some way to making the price tag seem a little more reasonable.

In use the Lelo is easy to insert and easy to control allowing users with all levels of experience to have fun experimenting with anal pleasure. The tip is smooth and the soft, smooth finish of the silicone takes and holds lube better than cheaper, smooth toys. The vibrator has five modes and five different intensities giving plenty of scope for experimentation.

Using the Billy alone is great and will help most men experience the intensity of an anally augmented orgasm when masturbating. Used with a partner you can both have fun and if she wants to borrow it – just tell her to buy her own!

Anal stimulation is something that both sexes can enjoy yet until recently was not widely talked about and not seen in mainstream porn. Often regarded as “gay” the taboos around anal stimulation still prevent open discussion about it and therefore make it difficult to understand and explore this aspect of sex.

Anal stimulation does not have to mean anal sex, unless you want it to, and can be far more subtle than most people realise and far more intense than they could imagine. This article will concentrate on anal stimulation for men and we will return to anal stimulation for female partners at a later date.

Men can enjoy anal stimulation in three ways:

• The anus itself is packed with nerve endings that make even gentle stimulation on the outside of the anus very enjoyable. On the flip side this also makes it imperative that great care is taken when experimenting with anal stimulation. The nerve endings are there for a reason which we will cover below.
• Just inside the rectum on the anterior (front) wall it is possible to stimulate the prostate gland. By inserting a suitable sex toy or a finger it is possible to massage this very sensitive structure creating intense sensation and even ejaculation.
• Some men find the sensation of simply having something in their anus to be sexually arousing especially at the point of orgasm.

As mentioned above the anus has a high density of nerve endings. The reason for this is probably the delicate nature of the human colon. Unlike a woman’s vagina that is very resilient and will take a lot of relatively rough treatment without permanent harm the rectum and colon are sensitive. Internal anal stimulation takes time, patience, relaxation and a suitable lubricant. Do not be fooled by the make believe world of porn where every ass is ready to accept a finger/sex toy/huge cock with nothing more than a little spit. Without proper preparation you could experience pain, bleeding, tissue damage and permanent impairment.

The way to enjoy anal stimulation is to prepare and relax beforehand. Let us be frank here; We all know what the primary purpose of your intestines are so cleanliness is paramount. You may choose to shower before you begin, and if you intend to insert anything inside your anus you might want to use an anal douche.

Next you should select a lubricant. The only time that spit is useful in anal stimulation is externally. The anus does not produce a natural lubricant – the tiny quantities of colonic mucus your intestines do produce are to aid the transit of faeces out of your body. A good quality water based lube is a good idea, glycerine free if possible as it will not degrade once the container is opened like those that do contain glycerine.

Some people recommend silicone based lubricants for anal they are more expensive but last longer. They are however incompatible with a lot of sex toys and can destroy the surface finish of a toy making it unusable.

One thing we would strongly recommend you avoid is anal numbing creams . While it is true that such preparations can allow the muscles of your anal sphincter to relax they will also reduce the sensation in your opening to such an extent that they make it more likely you will damage your rectum when inserting a finger or toy. Pain is the body’s way of warning you to stop and ignoring or masking that warning can lead to bleeding, a perforated rectum and blood poisoning.

A good way to start experimenting with anal stimulation is on your back with a towel under your backside to catch any excess lube. We recommend that you err towards using more lube than you think you will require and working it slowly into your anus with a finger or toy. The anus has two strong rings of muscle, one after the other and their natural reaction when probed is to clench. Therefore gentle circular motions, regular application of lube and slowly increasing the pressure of your probing is the key.

You may find that gently probing your opening is as far as you want to go and that insertion of anything, finger or sex toy is uncomfortable or just not for you. Anal stimulation is a very personal thing and the only real steadfast rules are” gently does it” and plenty of lube!

If you are going to experiment with sex toys then start small. You can buy a single small toy such as a mini-butt plug or buy a set that is graduated from small to increasingly larger sizes. We advise that you do not improvise.  Butt plugs are the shape they are for a reason. The narrow neck and ring or flat base are there to stop the toy being drawn up inside you – because once the toy has been inserted the two muscular sphincter rings will draw it inside. Using a non-anal toy anally can lead to a trip to the A & E department of your local hospital and some interesting questions from the medical staff.

Once you have mastered simple butt plugs and feel you are ready to move on you could try one of the male anal toys specially designed to stimulate the prostate. Manufacturers such as Rocks-Off, Nexus and Aneros supply a range of such male specific toys. As we have said before, start small and work up until you reach a level that you are happy with.

Whatever level of anal stimulation you choose to attain your orgasms will never be the same again. The intensity and nature of the male orgasm while being anally stimulated will surprise and delight you. You will wonder why you didn’t try it sooner.

We will start this review of Gazzma’s Bust Lust with a summary of the actions in the scenes to give you a flavour of the Hi Def action.

Scene one starts with girl-on-girl with one of them smoking a cigar and blowing smoke throughout. For us her cigar was a distraction, if not a turn-off, but if girls smoking is your thing then you are in for a treat. We weren’t sure why the girls got off so much by rubbing their boobs together and repeatedly spitting on them when there were so many other things these stocking clad beauties could have gotten up to.  After ten minutes of breast jiggling and the occasional nipple suck we thought the girls were about to get down to a bit of hot girl-girl 69 action when the first male performer appears to bury his manhood inside the brunette.

A long and vigorous four-way fuck follows with the guys cumming on the girls bounteous boobs before they greedily rub their semen soaked breasts together for a few minutes to finish. This scene seems more than others to be full of loud ludicrous and unnecessary dialogue and over-acted groaning.

Scene two is girl-guy and includes huge amounts of cock sucking by Angelina Ashe.  She tells us how she likes her breast to get a lot of attention – hardly surprising in a DVD about breasts – while she teases us dressed in red basque and stockings. The scene includes vaginal sex, tit fucking and a brief foot wank before Olivier Sanchz cums on her pussy.

In scene three Charley Chase explains how she likes to rub her breasts as an aid to concentration. Then gets spit roast by two studs by the pool. It’s energetic and finishes with a facial cum shot dribbling onto Charley’s boobs. We hope they showered before going for a swim …

In scene four Jenna Presley confirms that her boobs are not natural, if that was in any doubt. More so than any of the other girls she seems to be reading from a script, for example “anything I can do to help a man bust his hot load all over [my boobs]” was a line delivered in such a wooden way that our ears got splinters. Jenna and Olivier Sanchez then try out a commendable large range of positions which rather less commendably include a huge amount of cock sucking before her predictable facial.

Scene five stars Jessica Moore two guys and an ice cube. No scripted intro this time but lots of “Oh yeah” and “Oh my God” throughout. DP, spit roast, oral and breast tugging fills the scene before Jessica gets a facial from one guy while being buggered by the other who eventually delivers his load over her ass cheeks.

Riley Evans brings up the rear. She tells us how she “really need[s] two cocks right now” and miraculously gets them delivered to her poolside. All holes get filled before her tits get splashed with cum.

The DVD extras are not what you would call extensive. The usual cum shot recap and photo gallery. The photos are evenly lit and in high-res but less than inspired in content or composition. Yes, this is porn but they didn’t really appeal to us which is quite a feat considering the girls are good looking and well stacked.

This DVD could have been shorter and done without much of the dialogue and groaning to give more impact. As so often is the case this is supposed to convey lust and appreciation but ends up feeling intrusive and tempting you to turn down the volume.

To sum up, the girls are great and most of the guys perform well. The images are crystal clear and if you like boobs and can put up with the racket this DVD is very watchable. It does however have little to differentiate it from dozens of other similar titles in terms of variety and originality of content.

Male sex toys and cars. Two things that are of course not so far apart in the male psyche. It’s therefore no surprise that in this sex toy review there will be a lot of car talk though the emphasis will definitely be on the sex toy review and not the Top Gear style big kids in big motors style of review.

It’s every schoolboy’s dream car – the AC Cobra. A vehicle transformed by the replacement of its original straight six Bristol motor by increasingly powerful Ford V8s and with a distinctive shape that means its appearance on any street turns heads. The same is true of the Fun Factory Cobra Libre Male Stimulator. It takes obvious design queues from the AC Cobra, the shape of the opening so very reminiscent of the gaping air intake at the front of the AC. The rear of the Cobra Libre echoes the wheels of a car and the twin motors that drive the Cobra have to be experienced to be believed.

Fun Factory are so into the car motif for the product that they have produced this video. (note the AC Cobra like badge in the top right corner of the video)

OK, to the review proper.

Don’t think that this is a masturbator. The Cobra Libre is a penis stimulator. So what’s the difference?

Well, there are hundreds of different masturbators for men on the market and they all have one thing in common, you put all or at least a significant part of your penis inside them. The stimulation you experience is due to the materials from which they are constructed, their design and the way in which you use them. Some have vibrators, some have ribs and nobly bits inside but none of them is like the Cobra Libre.

The Fun Factory Cobra Libre works by allowing you to push the tip of your penis into the toy and working its magic on the head of your cock. The toy is made from hard plastic except for the opening for your penis which is moulded from soft silicone and does stretch to accommodate your glans. Once inside you are pressed against a transverse ridge which firmly contacts your frenulum.

The Cobra is operated by the use of two slide controls and an on-off button. These controls are simply indentations in the case of the device down which you slide your fingers and allow you to operate the two vibrating motors (which I’m sure Fun Factory would prefer me to call engines) independently. This gives a huge range of intense and pulsing vibrations.

I didn’t know what to expect when I tried the Cobra and what I experienced was as unique as the toy itself. The intensity was incredible, I spent several minutes with my eyes rolled back into my head adjusting and readjusting the Cobra while Suze looked on, a little bemused because of the unique way in which you use the Cobra Libre. There’s no pumping and thrusting as with a conventional masturbator as I mentioned above.

Eventually I stopped the toy and Suze asked “Wasn’t it very good?”.  I simply asked her to masturbate me while I enjoyed the tingling and buzzing from a frenulum that seemed electrified and glans that were buzzing.

Suze grasped my cock and began to slowly bring me to orgasm. However much to her surprise after only a few strokes I came, covering her hand and my stomach in semen.

The Cobra Libre is a great sex toy – I think. I did have problems with the model I had, which I think may be due to it being an early model.  I hope so because getting the device to the point where I could use it took some patience.

The Cobra is a “Click n Charge” model designed to be used with their magnetically fixed two pole charging system. The charger doesn’t sit well at all on the toy and you have to jiggle it about a lot to make a decent contact. Once charging don’t sneeze near it or the contact will be broken and you’re back to fiddling again. More worryingly my unit doesn’t hold its charge. I charged it one day meaning to use it the following evening and the blessed thing had gone flat. It also kept turning itself on during its charging cycle – all of which makes me think it’s faulty.

When I did realise it would not hold charge I charged it immediately prior to use – not very good for a bit of spontaneous solo fun – and then found that occasionally the controls would not respond consistently which  spoilt my fun somewhat.

To summarise, this is a great toy, innovative in design and amazingly good at stimulating your penis. I’m going to contact Fun Factory in the New Year and see if they can send me a replacement unit as I think this one has to be faulty – I have never had problems with a Fun Factory toy before.
