7 Best Anal Hooks in 2024, Reviewed By A BDSM Educator

After having so much fun playing around with all the most popular anal hooks available today, we made a universal decision. The DOMINIX Deluxe Medium beat the competition and what we recommend to all our friends and readers. Phenomenally designed and expertly manufactured, it’s the gold standard to which other products can only aspire. Somehow made better by how it is the only choice for experienced and novice anal players alike.

Not that there are no other well-made and exciting products out there. So let us take a gander at what makes them great and why they also have earned a spot on this list of the best anal hooks.

Why You Should Trust Us

Hi, I am M.Christian. Not to brag or anything, but after spending close to four decades as a sex and BDSM educator, sex tech journalist, and erotica author, there are not many sex-related activities I have not at least tried.

This places me in the perfect position to review these seven amazingly pleasurable hooks. I was also assisted by my trusty team of product testers, each providing invaluable insight and feedback on all of these BDSM anal hooks. Without it, this list would have been pretty much impossible.

I also love hearing stories from my readers, so if you have questions, don’t hesitate to reach out. You can call me at +1 307-372-3895 or send an email to [email protected]—just make sure to include your name and contact information.

How We Picked The Products

Much care and consideration went into choosing these selected anal hooks. To give you some idea of what that involved, here are the test criteria we could measure on a scale from 0 to 100:

• Build Quality. Because the human anus can be extremely fragile, this kind of play must be created of the highest quality materials and outstanding manufacturing.
• Design expertise. For the same reasons, I only considered products from reputable companies highly regarded for their skillful designs and overall engineering prowess.
• Comfort and safety. Arousal is one thing, but above all else, anal hooks should be as safe as possible to use. In this light, I restricted my list to toys when used correctly, which will seriously reduce the risk of injuring those who use them.
• Cleaning and maintenance. Another key component of anal safety and stainless steel anal hooks is how easy they are to clean before and after each use. In this regard, I did not mention toys that are either too difficult or their materials cannot be effectively cleaned.

After making my first round of selections, I passed the test samples over to my loyal team of toy testers. When they finished having fun with them and sent me their recommendations, I consulted with my fellow sex educators and anal enthusiasts.

During testing, we rated each test criterion on a percentage scale from 0% (Worst) to 100% (Best). We then calculated the overall score using different weighted metrics depending on the importance of the test criteria. Half the total rating comes from Design (25%) and Safety (25%). After that comes Comfort (10%), Build Quality (10%), and Maintenance (10%).

Everything We Tested

In this chapter, you can see a comparison table with all the products we tested. As you can see, each row has the test criteria our team used during the testing. To make our testing process even more transparent, we also included the raw test data so you can see how the products performed with each test criteria.

1. DOMINIX Deluxe Medium: Our Overall Test Winner!

Why I love the DOMINIX Deluxe Medium:

As I so enthusiastically waxed poetic at the beginning of this look at this article, the star of them all is undoubtedly the DOMINIX Medium, our pick as this year’s best anal hook.

First, anything made by DOMINIX Deluxe will already stand out, as when it comes to knowing what makes safe and exciting toys, no other company comes close to them.

But even if someone else made and sold the Deluxe Medium, I would still be heaping it with praise. In other words, yes, it really is that good.

For instance, the six-inch length is perfect for more users. Too short, and it would not be able to reach anyone’s anal sweet shot. The same goes for if it was too long, as anything else would make it too difficult to maneuver.

That and it has a one-and-a-half-inch body-safe nickel-steel sphere on its business end. It’s not too long and not too short length is practically perfect for stimulating your or your partner’s prostate.

What is extra good about the DOMINIX Medium is the equally ideally-sized ring at its other end. So it provides just the right amount of firm control when it comes time to remove it from yourself or someone else.

I have no problem saying the DOMINIX Medium is the gold standard of hooks. Its combination of excellent design, high-quality manufacturing, ease of use, and, more than anything, is so mind-bogglingly pleasurable to play with. We sincerely cannot recommend it enough.

Minor issues I found during testing:

If I had to say something, anything that is not an enthusiastic rave about this bondage anal hook, I guess it would be that it might be either too long or short for some users.

But even that is not so much a criticism as every manufacturer or enthusiast has to contend with. It all depends on how none of us are built the same way, at least how long and wide our anuses are.

Why the DOMINIX Deluxe Medium is the highest-rated anal hook:

Beyond all of the well-deserved praise I have lavished on the DOMINIX Medium and why I have awarded it the number one place on our list is that I am not the only person who loved it. My test team has never been so unanimously positive about anything. The least of which is a toy as unique as an anal hook.

But they did, and then some. One of them even went so far as to say they did not need to try any other hook, saying, “This is it, this is the one. My mind’s made up: this is the winner!”

Some would not shut up about how arousing DOMINIX Deluxe Medium is. “I cannot wait to use it again and again and again. Not to overdo it, but nothing gives me anal orgasms like this one!”

I also want to applaud how you can use the DOMINIX Deluxe Medium not just for anal play but vaginal as well. A trick very few pleasure devices can pull off. Fewer still can do both equally and arousingly well.

• Material: Stainless Steel
• Length: Eleven Inches
• Insertable Length: Six Inches
• Color: Silver

Pros:

• Exciting and arousing for G-spot and prostate stimulation
• Made of high-quality stainless steel
• Affordable at a mere $54.99
• Perfectly sized and weighted ball
• A detachable ball makes for easy cleaning

Cons:

• It could be too big or too small for some users
• Lacks a storage bag

2. DOMINIX Deluxe Small: For Beginners

Why I love the DOMINIX Deluxe Small:

I have some good news for those who might be either new to hooks or who know and love it but like a smaller toy. Because the anal hook experts over at DOMINIX have you covered with their Deluxe Small.

This small anal hook has everything that made their Medium so much fun but just the right amount of smaller. Its length is five inches rather than the Medium’s six, and its ball is a little shy of one and a quarter inches in diameter.

In fact, I recommend newbies and enthusiasts pick up the DOMINIX Deluxe Medium and the Deluxe Small. For the slightly less experienced, nothing’s better than the Small for getting into this exceptionally arousing sexual activity. Having the Medium around also means they do not have to wait until it comes time to graduate.

For people who know about hooks and why they are such a blast, having a DOMINIX Deluxe Small can double the fun. Particularly when you want to change things up a bit.

Minor issues I found during testing:

In the same vein as the Deluxe Medium, the Small may not be as good a fit. But at the risk of repeating myself, this is also the same no matter the toy or the sexual play style, for as no two human bodies are identical, so too, there can be any one-size-fits-all hooks.

Why the DOMINIX Deluxe Small is the most beginner-friendly:

Like how my testers went on and on about the Deluxe Medium, they would also not shut up about the Deluxe Small. “This is an amazingly great toy,” said one. “I liked using it after a break because my ass shrank slightly.

“This is like Goldilocks of anal hooks,” another one told me. “Not too long or too short. It is just right.”

I want to add that the DOMINIX Deluxe Small can also work double duty for G-spot or prostate play like the larger Medium model. Again, designing and making a two-purpose sex toy is challenging enough, but what DOMINIX did for their Deluxe and Small is astounding and well worth the respect other reviewers and I have given them.

• Material: Stainless Steel
• Length: Eleven Inches
• Insertable Length: Six Inches
• Ball Diameter: Little Less Than Four Inches
• Color: Silver

Pros:

• No better toy for first-time anal hook users
• Great for prostate and G-spot stimulation
• Removable ball for simple and effective cleaning before and after every use
• High-quality stainless steel construction

Cons:

• It might be slightly too small for some people
• Having a bag to keep it in would have been nice

3. Trailer Hitch: Most Filling

Why I love the Trailer Hitch:

You have probably seen that rather famous beer commercial. You know, the one with that repeated refrain of “less filling?” I bring it up regarding hooks; looking for the “most filling” toys is often more fun.

The reason is for a good many people, anal arousal involves putting a comfortable amount of pressure on the sides of the anus. No other large anal hook can top the aptly named Trailer Hitch.

Like this toy’s namesake, it is primarily a big steel ball with the correct, and then some, proportions to deliver just the right pressure to you or anyone else’s anus.

But what is even tastier, just to run the commercial analogy into the ground, is it’s another great example of two fantastic toys in one. This is because the Trailer Hitch does not stop at filling up the anus of whoever is using it, but if they are penis-equipped, it is a cock ring too.

You heard that right because the Trailer Hitch is the meeting of two wildly exciting toys in one very well-designed and built package. A pairing that will have you ecstatically praising its pleasures as much as I have been and continue to do.

Minor issues I found during testing:

The only potential issue I had with the Trailer Hitch is that it is a penis-equipped person plaything. Not vagina-owners could not use and like it. Still, its cock ring would not be anything but a decorative accessory and nothing else.

Why the Trailer Hitch is the most filling:

It is one thing to have an erotically full anus but to not just double but triple your arousal level, the Trailer Hitch size and weight will push you over the top and into the ecstatically wild world of mind-blowing anal orgasms.

That was the case when I first tried this extreme anal hook. Believe me when I say steel and nothing-but-steel does it for feeling so amazingly heavy and full. Even water-filled anal toys do not even come close to it.

A sentiment echoed by my reviewers, like the one who said, “A cock ring and solid metal anal hook? Pinch me, I must be wet dreaming,” enthusiastically reported one of my testers.

“I like hooks and cock rings, and I cannot lie,” said a different tester. “The Trailer Hitch is great as one and great as the other, and together blew me out of the water. Sexually, I mean.”

• Material: Stainless Steel
• Insertable Length: Five Inches
• Cock Ring Diameters: Nearly One And a Half To Two Inches
• Ball Diameter: About One And A Half To Slightly Less Than Two And a Half Inches
• Color: Silver

Pros:

• Solid steel anal hook and cock ring
• More than one ball size
• Two well-designed sex toys in one
• Size is the perfect balance between small and large
• Removable balls make for easy cleaning

Cons:

• Only ideal for penis-equipped persons
• Likewise, for those into hooks and cock rings at the same time

4. Trailer Hitch Kingpin: Great For Prostate Stimulation

Why I love the Trailer Hitch Kingpin:

Keeping with the unexpected theme of two or more surgical-grade stainless steel toys manufactured by the same company comes the Trailer Hitch Kingpin. Here is everything that made the Trailer Hitch more than worthy of being included on this list of best hooks but with a pleasant but unexpected twist.

Rather than having the more traditional ball at the end, Kingpin instead has, you guessed it, a stainless steel egg.

Why is this such a cool feature for an anal hook to have? For many people, it is because an egg may hit their prostate like no other shape can, including the very popular ball one. Or they might prefer how an egg makes their anus feel more pleasurably full.

Whatever the reasons, if an egg-shaped model is your cup of sexual tea, then the Trailer Hitch Kingpin is right up your alley.

Minor issues I found during testing:

Here we are again, where I point out that the only criticism I could imagine leveling against the Trailer Hitch Kingpin is how it may not be as pleasing as other hooks to use.

This, one more time, is due to our unique preferences and not anything specifically flawed with the Trailer Hitch Kingpin’s design or construction.

Why the Trailer Hitch Kingpin is our recommendation for men:

I was surprised to learn that there were more than several egg-shaped hooks available to try. But while you might expect me to say this made choosing the top one challenging, the opposite was true. After my testers and I gave the Trailer Hitch Kingpin a shot, we sent the others home.

Why, may you ask? The answer is yet another company that is more than obviously very familiar with hooks and how pleasurable they can be on the p-spot. Because nothing else can explain why the Trailer Hitch Kingpin feels so exceptionally comfortable and arousing simultaneously.

Which my testers were universally in agreement with. “I have not used an egg-shaped anal hook with rope before,” wrote one, “but this one is now my favorite male anal hook.”

They continued: “I did not think anything could be more of a turn-on than the ball hooks I used to use. I learned my lesson, though, and now cannot think of going back to them.”

• Material: Medical-grade stainless steel
• Insertable Length: Four And A Half Inches
• Cock Ring Diameters: Around Four And A Half Inches To Six Inches
• Anal Egg Diameters: About Three And A Half Inches To A Little Over Six Inches
• Color: Black

Pros:

• Amazingly comfortable and arousing to use
• An excellent choice for anyone wanting to feel extra-full
• High-quality construction allows for easy cleaning
• The ball end is ideal for many different types of play

Cons:

• Perhaps not ideal for beginners
• Some might find its shape to be less-than-appealing

5. Double Ball Anchor With Rope Hook: With Two Balls

Why I Love the Double Ball Anchor With Rope Hook:

Despite what you may be imagining, the next quality anal hook on our list did not earn its “best with two balls” title because it is only suitable for people with a set of testicles.

Instead, it is a rarity among hooks because it has two differently-sized stainless steel balls at its business end. A combo of which has to be felt to be believed. Or, better yet, take our advice and get your hot little hands on one as soon as possible, as your ass and any of your playmates will thank you for it.

Further, the Double Ball Anchors multiple balls are adjustable. This grants this it the ability to be finely tuned until they, and your excitement levels, its metal butt beads are perfectly in sync with one another. Then, as the old saying goes, let the good times roll.

Into all things kinky? The “anchor” in Double Ball Anchor With Rope Hook should get you all hot and bothered as its rings can be used as attachment points for a nearly limitless array of bondage possibilities. Whether it is bondage rope play, rain, or anything else, if BDSM and anal hooks get you going, then get this toy ASAP.

Minor issues I found during testing:

In all fairness, this stainless steel anal hook could be accused of having too much of a good thing. I am referring to while having two interchangeable balls is great and all, adding a set of bondage rope-friendly hooks might only appeal to a particular group of consumers.

Though that should not stop you from buying this product. First and foremost, it is amazingly well-designed and constructed. Second, you would be surprised by how quickly and enjoyable it will expand your sexual horizons.

Why the Double Ball Anchor is the best double anal hook:

As one of my testers eloquently said, “Its metal butt beads brought tears to my eyes. In a good way!”

Though you may not ecstatically weep while using it, rest assured the Double Ball Anchor With Rope Hook will ring your sexual bells in more ways than you can count. A complement to a bondage rope scene, infinitely adjustable anal plaything, this double ball anal hook provides a uniquely arousing experience,” it can do all of that and a whole lot more.

• Material: Medical Grade Stainless Steel
• Length: Nine Inches
• Ball Diameter: Little Over One And A Half To Slight Under One And A Quarter Inches
• Color: Silver

Pros:

• Loads of exciting features and sexual possibilities
• Extremely well made from high-quality materials
• Magnificent when used in conjunction with bondage ropes
• Adjustable balls

Cons:

• Perhaps it has too many options
• Not recommended for anal hook beginners

6. Oxy Collar Anal Hook: With Collar

Why I Love the Oxy Collar To Anal Hook:

If I had to give a one-word description of the next toy on this list, it would be “intense.” But not in a bad way. Far from it, because while this Oxy anal hook may not be for everybody, if you or those you like to play with are into BDSM with a heaping helping of anal, then walk, do not run to get one of these.

Keeping with why this is a remarkably pleasingly intense stainless steel anal hook collar, it has a pair of lockable connectors. The top one attaches the color to its stainless steel main shaft. Meanwhile, the second does the same with its curved section and ball intended for anal play.

So it is a snap to keep someone restrained with or without the color and similarly with or without the anal hook. But when used together, the excitement the Oxy Collar can provide is truly outstanding.

Minor issues I found during testing:

It would not be wrong to say that Oxy anal hook is designed for an extremely niche market. After all, it only appeals to people in bondage and anal hook play.

But that can be a good thing, as this combo may be what you need to get into exploring the possibilities these two sexual activities have to offer.

Why Oxy Collar is my preferred Model With Collar:

As safety is considerably more critical than how hot or not any piece of BDSM gear is, the builders and designers of the Oxy Collar deserve recognition. Because of its super high-quality materials and manufacture, coupled with how much thought went into how it functions, it can safely be enjoyed by practically anyone.

Not forgetting that you can choose two BDSM collars and five ball sizes. With this many options, it will fit most body sizes and shapes.

Flexibility and variety that was not lost on my league of extraordinary testers. “Wow,” said one, “and wow again. This is one heavy-duty and wonderfully-wild piece of equipment!”

A different tester added, “I did not think I was kinky. But I changed my mind after my husband locked me into this thing. We use it all the time, and my sex life could not be better.”

• Material: High-Grade Stainless Steel
• Main Shaft: Approximately Twenty One Inches
• Insertable Length: Six Inches
• Collar Diameters: Four And A Half Or Five And A Half Inches
• Ball Diameter: Half An Inch To One And Half Inches
• Color: Silver

Pros:

• Uniquely designed and expertly crafted stainless steel anal hook and bondage device
• Two lockable points
• A variety of ball and collar sizes are available

Cons:

• It’s definitely not something for inexperienced anal or BDSM players
• It needs quick-release connectors in case of emergency
• The collar should be more flexible

7. UberKinky Cock Ring with Anal Ball Lock: With Cock Ring

Why I Love the UberKinky Cock Ring with Anal Ball Lock:

My last but not least entry into the seven best anal hooks is this extra-solid, extra-exciting merging of butt toy and ring design.

This two-is-better-than-one combo is a spectacularly sexy experience for anyone who is penis-equipped and gets off on anal. Not only that, but with its remarkably solid, one-piece construction, it can stand up to anything. An inherent sturdiness is a ticket for rambunctious sex or BDSM play sessions.

It also is gloriously hefty, a fact cock run enthusiasts will be happy to hear as there is nothing quite like a weighty one to make their hearts go pitter-patter. That and the rest of their bodies as well, of course.

Do not worry if you are larger or smaller in the penis department because while the UberKinky Penis Ring with Anal Ball Lock is a single, solid unit, it’s available in four separate sizes.

Minor issues I found during testing:

As most ring users know all too well, the solid ring variety requires a lot of patience and discipline to get into and out of. So I would say that the UberKinky Cock Ring with Anal Ball Lock is more of a graduate-level plaything than something anyone new to either anal or cock rings should try to use.

Why the UberKinky is our Anal Hook with Cock Ring pick

Which is exactly why it’s such a kick to play with. If you know and have a thing for solid metal rings and anal play, this device has your name written all over it.

Based on my own experiences using it, I am happy to report that I would purchase one if I had not gotten one to try. Something I have only felt a half dozen times during my ten-plus years reviewing all sorts of anal sex toys. Few BDSM products are more arousing than this combination of a penis ring and an anal ball.

“This is a very big and heavy toy,” wrote one of my testers. “Both of which made me come like crazy!”

This statement was echoed by more than a few others on my team. Like the one who repeatedly gushed, “It may not be for everyone, but for me, it is right out of my hottest fantasies! I cannot wait to put it on again!”

Another point in the UberKinky Penis Ring with Anal Ball Lock’s favor is the care that went into designing and manufacturing it. I found myself whistling in admiration at its excellent craftsmanship.

• Material: High-grade stainless steel
• Ball Diameter: One And A Half Inches, One And A Quarter Inches, Two Inches, And A Little Less Than Two And A Quarter Inches.
• Color: Silver

Pros:

• Very solid, one-piece construction.
• It comes in four different ball sizes
• Uberkinky is easy to clean.
• It has a good weight to it

Cons:

• Steel penis rings can be challenging to use
• Will not comfortably fit certain people
• Not suitable for casual play sessions

What Is An Anal Hook?

An anal hook is a curved steel rod with a ball (or balls) on one end and a loop on the other. The steel ball is inserted into the submissive’s anal, while the dominant partner can tie a rope through the loop. You can even use your finger to move the anal sex hook around.

You can use them to enhance anal stimulations and keep the submissive entirely still in an uncomfortable, helpless, humiliating situation, posture, or position.

On average, these sex toys are approximately an inch thick and six inches long and the balls are available in different sizes, and some can be removed or replaced. In general, anal hooks are for advanced BDSM, and you must always exercise caution, especially when inserting or moving it.

How To Use An Anal Hook Safely?

Note: Anal hooks are advanced sex toys, and you must take great care when using them. Any action you take upon the information on this website is strictly at your own risk, and we will not be liable for any losses, injuries, and damages. Learn more.

Basically, anal hooks are just like every other anal sex toy. Though there are more than several vital differences – many of which you should know before using this sex toy with yourself or a partner [3].

Of them all, the most important thing is that most anal hooks are universally considered more advanced than most run-of-the-mill anal sexual pleasure devices.

1. Lubrication. Unlike vaginas, the anus cannot produce enough lubrication to allow for comfortable and safe penetration play. Therefore you need to use a lot of appropriately formulated lubricants to prevent irritation or injury to the anal canal. But only use ones that are specially formulated for anal play. Otherwise, your anus may absorb more than you can apply. This can result in irritation, abrasions, tearing, or worse. Do not use a single lube for double penetration but one for each orifice.
2. Heating. Slightly raising the temperature of a stainless steel anal hook can make it easier to use and insert and make for temperature play possibilities. But resist the urge to excessively heat or chill your metal toys, as anything above or below body temperature can seriously harm your anus. I also recommend reading up on temperature play before attempting it.
3. Education. Before you do anything, read up on anal safety and why it should be the first and foremost thing on your mind. Like knowing what foods you cannot or should not eat beforehand. You can find my article on this exact thing here.
4. Arousal. Like making sure your toy is clean and applying lots of silicone lube, you should also ensure the recipient is aroused and relaxed, which helps with the insertion. Work with them to find a position that is the most comfortable for them.
5. Be patient. Take things slowly and gently. Never force anything inside your anal cavity! Once in, you can loop your finger through the hole to move your hook around to improve the rod angle.
6. Cleaning. Clean it thoroughly before storing it. When you want to use it again, give it another good washing up to avoid contracting nasty infections. My article on how to do anal play safely explains this.

Other Safety Tips

• If your Shibari anal hook has detachable balls, always ensure they are correctly attached before using them!
• Start with butt plugs before using anal hooks.
• Remove the hook immediately if the sub feels any pain.
• Never suspend your sub using a hook!
• Avoid sudden movements while inserted.
• Use a safeword and incorporate proper aftercare.

The Best Positions You Can Try

One of the most common questions about anal hooks is how to use them. The first step is determining which positions work most effectively for anal sex toy play [2].

Getting to this: my suggestions for the four positions I have found are more comfortable and arousing for inserting and using an anal hook.

Doggy Style. The same reason why this position is great for anal or vaginal intercourse is also why it can be ideal for playing with anal hooks. The only downside is it’s most useful for couples. This is because it’s challenging to reach behind yourself to get it inside. Let alone move it around until it feels good.

Laying Flat. Here is a position that is comfy and exciting for couples or singles. All that is necessary is for the person on the receiving end to stretch out on their back with their butt raised upward. The prone pose provides fantastic access to their anus and reduces stress and strain on their back.

On The Side. When a receiving partner is resting on their side (AKA spooning), it’s easy for them or their partner to reach their ass. It is another position that prevents back pain as well. I am fond of this one, as the same position can also be used in a bathtub, making cleaning up or doing any necessary douching a snap.

Standing Tall. Depending on how comfortable standing or squatting is for you, my final position recommendation is often ideal for controlling how much and slowly you can insert an anal hook. Just be careful not to slip and take more than you or your anus can handle. To prevent this, brace yourself with sturdy furniture or anything else you need.

But please do not think these are the only positions for anal hook play. Just as only you can say what turns you on, the same is equally true for what positions make you feel the most aroused or comfortable when using an anal ball hook or butt plug.

Experimentation, trial and error, or simply having fun will lead you to discover the ideal position for your play sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What does an anal hook feel like?

If no rope is attached to the BDSM hook, it feels like a regular butt plug. However, when a rope is connected, you will feel tension, which sometimes can be uncomfortable depending on the tightness of the rope [1].

What does an anal hook look like?

An anal hook looks like a curved stainless steel rod with a ball on one end and a loop or hook on the other.

How long can you wear an anal hook?

The general rule for butt plugs is 2-3 hours, which may be a good guideline for anal hooks. However, since they add more tension and pressure than a butt plug, it’s probably safer to use them for a shorter time.

Are anal hooks safe?

Many anal hooks can absolutely be safe when used correctly. This is why you must read as much as possible about potential injuries and illnesses that can arise when playing with one.

• Do not purchase poorly made products. Affordability is one thing, but do not buy anal hooks that are so cheaply made they could be dangerous.
• Do not improvise when playing with an anal plug hook. To make your play sessions safe, do not improvise or do anything not recommended by the manufacturer. Not only can this risk damaging your brand-new toy, but it might also seriously injure yourself or those you play with. A dominant partner must not insist a submissive partner do anything they are uncomfortable with.
• Do not modify an anal hook. The same goes for altering the shape or function of any anal pleasure device. Voiding an anal hook’s intended purpose is all but guaranteed to lead to damaging the user’s delicate anal tissues. So never, ever, never modify any anal hook.

What does an anal hook do?

An anal hook is a curved pleasure device designed to comfortably enter and sexually stimulate the anal cavity. Sometimes these toys are built to arouse a vagina-equipped person’s G-spot or a penis-owner’s prostate gland.

Occasionally, they may include butt plugs, cock rings, bondage mounting points, vibrators, and many other exciting options.

How to tie an anal hook to hair?

Depending on how they were created and constructed, some can be attached to the user’s hair, as with anything to do with any sex toy, whether or not it is for anal stimulation, predicament bondage play, or rope play, avoid any activities for which your hook was not designed.

If a stainless steel hook or butt plug is approved for being tied to a person’s hair, do not do so with a knot that cannot be undone in less than a second. Failure to do so risks harming whoever is restrained to it. I fervently suggest using a quick-release clamp, also called a panic snap. When connected between an anal hook and someone’s hair band, it can be detached in less than a second.

A dominant partner must pay attention to what is happening to ensure their submissive partner is not distressed with engaging in BDSM sex or predicament bondage.

Can I use an anal hook for solo play?

It is entirely possible to use an anal hook by yourself. Because of their curved shape, many are very easy and comfortable to use with or without another person.

As I have said, the only exception is if the company or individual who made it does not suggest this activity. If it is okay with them, or at least not expressly prohibited, then have as much fun as you want.

I would only ask you to take extra care not to injure yourself. A great place to start is always having your phone ready if something goes wrong. Bleeding, serious discomfort, or excessive pain, are a few. But more than anything, you should always be willing to use it when you feel something is amiss.

While it may not be anything to really worry about, being safe by seeing a doctor is much better than not. Because if you deny or avoid a visit to the Emergency Room, a bad situation will only worsen.

So play safe, play smart, and if you keep learning and do everything possible to reduce the risk of harming yourself or other people, you will be able to play for a very long time.

Can I make my own anal hook?

We don’t recommend making your own BDSM toys due to the risk. It’s always better to buy professionally-made products. You can read more on how to make a DIY anal hook in this article.
