Little Flirt, you little tease…
Once, long ago, I said a thing to my good friend Miriam Spiralti, and she never forgot it. In fact, in a way, I think she believes it encapsulates my personality. In her mind, this is probably my catch phrase. At least she brings it up a lot and cracks up every time. And what is it? I’ll tell you.
“Sometimes you just want a dick in your ass.”
The reason Miriam finds this statement so profoundly hilarious is the simple reality that no, she does not in fact ever just want a dick in her ass. But obviously I do.
Interestingly, I divulged this information before ever having successful, non-painful anal intercourse. But there was this craving that existed long before pleasure was thoroughly invoked. I’d grasped tantalizing teasers of how great it could be, but always cut with discomfort and pain because I was too passive and ignorant to insist on lube. But my body still knew what it wanted. Bodies are weird that way.
So I’m not really sure why it took me so long to try a butt plug.
I have a hard plastic slimline vibrator that I allocated for ass duty, and it enhances my fapping considerably. But putting things like fingers and hard plastic and rose quartz up your ass isn’t quite the same as using something firm-yet-squishy like a penis* or, say, the premium silicone Tantus Little Flirt.
The Little Flirt is wee, only an inch(ish) in diameter at its thickest (not counting the base, which is rectangular and flared). It is definitely a beginner’s plug. There’s a Big Flirt, which I haven’t tried yet, for those who feel that they’ve graduated to something bigger. The Little Flirt is, well, little.
The silicone is softer than I expected, but in practice it feels right. It and the tapered tip allow for comfortable insertion with a little water-based lube (keep in mind that silicone lube and silicone toys can result in silicone mess), but the shape retains a good degree of integrity even if you’re gripping the hell out of it in the throes of an anal orgasm, although the toy can sometimes feel dangerously close to being pushed out if the orgasm is mighty.
Let’s talk shape for a moment, shall we? Its contours are modest but you can feel every flare and cinch of them because they are happening in your butt. It’s awkward that I can’t really compare it to other anal-specific toys, but here’s what I know: it feels good when I have it in while I’m masturbating. And I keep meaning to try it whilst fucking.
In the interest of journalistic rigor (or something) I decided to bring the Little Flirt grocery shopping with me. While it was inside me, if you didn’t happen to infer that all on your own. Some people like to have a butt plug in all day, and premium silicone is one of the safer materials to use for that purpose. So I decided to go for it, although prolonged butt obstruction isn’t really a turn-on for me.
I want to be very clear that I was wearing sweatpants, no makeup, and I still had bedhead at two in the afternoon when I embarked on this adventure. It just goes to show you that the person wearing the butt plug in your local grocery store will often not be the first person you’d guess. Anyway, here’s what happened:
2:00 PM (in bedroom, just after insertion): This is going to be awesome. I think I’m already getting a little wet.
2:05 PM (leaving house): It feels like it might possibly slip out at some point. Get ready to be embarrassed, me.
2:10 PM (in car): It can’t possibly fall out while I’m sitting down. I am an evil genius.
2:15 PM (in parking lot): I can sort of see how someone could wear a butt plug all day.
2:20 PM (walking around store): How in the goddamn do people wear butt plugs all day long? It’s getting wicked uncomfortable now that I’m walking around. I need to adjust the Little Flirt a bit as I pass the makeup aisle. I hope it just looks like I have a wedgie.
2:30 PM: This feeling. The one in my butt. I do not love it. Also, Christmas music alfuckingready? Is that seriously what we’re doing today?
2:40 PM: The bathroom is now on the opposite side of the store. I am trapped on the far end of the grocery store with a piece of food-grade silicone in my ass. I brought this on myself.
2:45 PM: I WANT TO GO HOME –Oooooh almond milk’s on sale– RIGHT NOW PLEASE.
I’m going to go ahead and call this experiment “not a success”. I can’t tell you whether my shopping adventure would’ve gone better with another plug. Maybe I’m just not cut out for taking anal play to the streets.
The biggest downside to the Little Flirt, though, is really that it’s more gateway drug than toy. There’s the kind of pleasure that’s whole and satisfying unto itself, and then there’s the kind that ignites a burning need for more, NOW. We’re dealing with the latter kind. The Little Flirt is a warmup, a tease, a… actually, it’s exactly what it says it is. It’s a flirt.
In short, it is a beginner’s anal toy. It might not take long for you to crave something bigger, but it’s excellent for getting over your novice timidity.
Thank you, Babeland!
*Apologies to people with penises for insinuating that your organs are anything short of titanium-hard, but you know what I mean, right? Rest assured that I find penises much firmer than this toy, for what it’s worth.
Haha, sounds like you had a lot of fun ;D
Anal plugs sound interesting. I’ve had anal sex before, but even with massive amounts of lube and a penis insertion that took about an hour, it was always still really painful. I’ve vowed off it, which makes my boyfriend very upset. I think I might give it another try though =)
I don’t have any anal-specific toys…I think that needs to change!
I used to have a Little Flirt! I never tried to wear it around town though, because I found that any time I wasn’t actively masturbating, it was just annoying. And when I was actively masturbating, I’d clench all up and the damn thing would pop out.
I live in the grip of a butt-paradox, where any toy big enough to stay in is uncomfortable, and any toy small enough to feel good gets squeezed out. Maybe I need a little toy and some duct tape.
I strongly recommend the njoy plug! I haven’t had it fall out, it’s stainless steel, so you can use any lube and it is very slick. It’s not squishy at all, of course, but I really just love it. It’s designed for prostate stimulation and I don’t have a prostate, but it happens to be curved just right to bump my g spot (obviously without anything in my vagina). The difference in diameter between the bulb and the neck is big, so it doesn’t fall out as easily as the silicone plug I have also played with.
They guarantee it’s not breakable, but I dropped it on tile and the tip chipped. I got it replaced by the shop that sold it to me, but I think the company would have replaced it too.
Since my anal experience started as “oo baby take me from behind, I didn’t mean that way, well, that feels good anyway, how about that!” I can’t comment on how easy it is to work up to the thing.
Looking at that slow taper, I think that looks like self-imposed torture; it appears that it would be in danger of popping out the second you stood up.
I’m amazed at how repressed I still am, because I could never talk about this in front of people who knew me, without an alias web nick (yeah, I know you’re using web nicks too, but I gather a lot of you are known to others, here.). You people are fearless! :) .
@Serena Dante A small one like this might be a good idea, but if it doesn’t end up working for you, anal might just not be your thing. Which is perfectly fine, whether your boyfriend sees it that way or not!
@Christina LMT There are some really fancy ones I’m lusting after now (the njoy one mentioned by miette being one of them).
@Holly Pervocracy Maybe you can recruit an assistant or two to keep the plug in place. I don’t see that being a hard sell. But solo? I dunno. It’s definitely an issue with this plug. I haven’t had it jump out yet, but it will not surprise me when it finally does.
@miette I didn’t know that njoy toys were guaranteed for life! Clearly I didn’t read the literature that came with my pure wand (which I really keep meaning to review, but just thinking about its awesomeness is very distracting…).
I really want to try an njoy plug. They’re gorgeous. Do you have a pure plug or a pfun plug (I’m guessing the latter because that’s supposed to be for prostate play, which you mentioned)? Hey Epiphora has made me really, really want a nobEssence romp also. That’s basically her M.O.: making me drool over toys I can’t afford.
@G Keep in mind that the girth below that taper is probably going to be significantly less than using two fingers (I accidentally typed that this toy was an inch in circumference–which would be tiny –when it’s actually an inch in diameter. I fixed it, though. Either way, it’s not big). But anal play isn’t for everyone.
I think in a lot of cases repression is actually lack of opportunity. Personally, I have a sex blog to give me an appropriate venue where I can talk about putting things up my butt. If my friends who know about my blog choose to read about me putting said things up my butt, then that really says almost as much about them as it says about me, now doesn’t it? We’re all in the pervert boat together, and I love the way the wind is blowing.
Let’s see. Looking at their website, I have the pure plug large. The bigger one I mentioned is the pure 2.0. They’re all pretty much for prostate play, I’m guessing; it was certainly a selling point when I got mine, and that was before the pfun came out.
I just can’t bring myself to put something wooden up my butt. It’s a testament to how good it feels that I put anything up there at all, because I’m totally skeeved by the ick factor. Mostly I use it in the shower…
@quizzical pussy
Of course you’re right. And I admire the others here (at least one of whom I know personally) who admit to being just as perverted as you (and I) are. Part of the issue for me is the fact that I’m a man, and come from a conservative background. That subset doesn’t talk freely about putting things up their butt. Hell, I can’t bring myself to discuss it with my wife without a good many drinks under my belt. ;)
Traditionally, men are convex, so whenever the discussion turns toward us going concave, we get mighty cagey. I once talked to a country boy who freely admitted to having copulated with livestock (he said that they would regularly come, which thrilled him), but would cast out the word “cocksucker” or tell someone to “shove it up their ass”, as an insult. Such was the ingrained tradition that men are the pokers, and never the pokees. :)
