Bondage is one of the central parts of BDSM, and can provide plenty of enjoyment all by itself. But when you combine your bondage play with different sex toys you can open up a whole new world of kinky fun. In particular, anal toys offer plenty of ways to experiment and enjoy your favorite fetish.
Bondage Anal Toys?
Even though we normally focus on butt plugs here at Loveplugs, and you can use butt plugs during your bondage session, this time we want to focus on a different kind of toy. It’s technically still a kind of plug, but we’re talking about anal hooks!
What Exactly Is An Anal Hook?
An anal hook might sound painful, but don’t worry! These toys are designed to be inserted into the anus, and can provide pleasure in much the same way a butt plug does.
Most anal hooks come in one of two shapes: a J-bar (shaped like the letter J), or an L-bar (shaped like the letter L). On the shorter part of the rod, you’ll find one or two balls. This is the end that is meant to be put inside your body. On the other end will be a ring, which you can tie your bondage ropes to.
Are All BDSM Hooks The Same?
Even though they’re very simple toys, there’s plenty of different kinds of anal hooks for you to try. As with most anal toys there are different materials available. Silicone hooks will be slightly more flexible and feel much softer and smoother. Metal hooks are made with stainless steel, are much firmer and can apply a lot more pressure when combined with your bondage ropes.
If you’re looking for more from your hook, then you might want to try one of the ones that comes with additional features. Some are inserted the other way around, with the bar sitting on your perineum, and have a cock ring at the other end. Some are already set up for bondage, such as an anal hook with collar, which has the straps included to keep you restricted without complicated ropework.
Some anal hooks are even more like butt plugs, ignoring the bondage aspect entirely. These usually have balls at both ends, which let you apply pressure in a similar way to a bondage set up, but just by moving the hook around by hand.
Using Your Sex Hook During Bondage
When using your anal hook, you’re most likely going to want to include it in your bondage sessions. This means you’ll need to tie it into your ropework to hold the hook in place after inserting it.
We won’t go into depth on how to tie your ropes in this article, but if you aren’t sure we encourage you to read and watch some tutorials to make sure you’re doing it safely. Instead, let’s talk about how to incorporate your anal hook into your bondage.
You’ll need to start by inserting the hook. This is just like any other anal toy, and you’ll want to generously apply lube before you start. The balls on most anal hooks are relatively small, so getting it in shouldn’t be too difficult.
Once it’s inside your body, experiment with the position of the hook and think about what kind of bondage you want to do it with. Generally you’ll want to choose between a more comfortable position or a less comfortable one depending on what kind of BDSM play you enjoy. The more comfortable positions usually provide stimulation and can work well with play where you try to provide sensory overload to the person tied up. Less comfortable positions are more suitable for sadism and masochism play, forcing a person to stay in a potentially painful situation for a long period.
One of the most fun ways to utilize a hook in your bondage play is through predicament bondage. This is where the person tied up is given a choice of positions. One position is more comfortable for their body, but forces the hook into a position that provides intense pleasure or pain. The other position is less comfortable for their body, but moves the hook to a less intense position. It’s up to them which position they choose.
Safety During Bondage
Like other forms of BDSM play, safety is the number one consideration when deciding to take part in a bondage session. While the intention might be to make someone uncomfortable, or even inflict pain, this should be done in a careful and safe manner.
The BDSM community uses the term safe, sane and consensual to govern their play. If you don’t feel like your bondage meets these three points, then you shouldn’t do it.
Another very important point specifically for anal hooks is that you should never suspend someone from a hook. You can use a hook during suspension bondage, but a person’s weight should never be held up by the hook itself.
