How I Fell In Love With Anal Hooks (With Top Picks!)
Welcome to your newest favorite BDSM thrill toys: anal hooks.
I know, I know- I had the same reaction when I first heard of anal hooks...hooks where???
But let me tell you, once you warm up to these kinky accessories, anal hooks will bring you and your submissive partner to whole new level of kinky power play. And better yet, you have found the right article to help you two get there .
In today’s review, I am going to lay out for you my complete guide to anal hooks, including all the sexy details and tips about anal hooks that you have wanted to learn, but just did not know who to ask (because let’s be honest, anal hooks are just not dinner table conversation...unless they are in which case invite me over!).
I am also going to give you the rundown on the handful of the best anal hooks that I have tried, and that have truly made me fall in love with these kinky and erotic BDSM accessories.
What Exactly Are Anal Hooks
Okay, so anal hooks are not often featured in the most popular playbook for BDSM toys. You hear a lot about bondage ropes, handcuffs, and blindfolds (you know, the vanilla stuff), but now it is time for our more intense pain and pleasure accessory to have its moment.
Anal hooks are as they sound: essentially, curved metal rods that are similar in shape to a fish hook.
More often than not, anal hooks are about 1 inch thick and 6 inches long, also sizes can vary to suit your preference and body type.
Like a lot of BDSM accessories, sleek stainless steel is generally the material of choice for anal hooks. Another bonus of stainless steel anal hooks? They are easy to clean. However, some newer anal hooks are embracing more mailable silicone into their design as well.
Most anal hooks have a ball on one end and a loop on the other. The ball on the anal hook ensures that the hook sits in the anal cavity of its wearer. Just like the hook itself, the ball can be purchased in different sizes to suit the user’s comfort preferences. With some anal hooks, this ball can even be screwed off the hook and replaced with a different sized ball. As well, the shape of this ball can vary from sphere-like to a more teardrop-like shape.
The loop is intended to allow the Dom to control how the anal hook feels in their submissive partner. The Dom might place their finger through the end loop on the anal hook, or attach it to a rope (more commonly in bondage play) to take total control over their sub. Note that anal hooks are not intended or safe for suspension.
How to Use Anal Hooks
The Dom in the partnership will insert the steel ball side of the anal hook into their submissive partner’s anus.
Keep in mind that anal hooks are not as comfortable as your typical silicone anal plug, even if you are an experiened user. In fact, anal hooks are intented to create a level of discomfort in the submissive, if they try to move out of the position their Dom has placed them in.
Imagine this erotic scenario: If you stay in position and play nice, then you as the sub will experience little to no discomfort. But, if you move out of the position that your Dom wants you to, you will feel discomfort from the anal hook compelling you to go back to your place and stay still.
This scenario creates a dynamic of ultimate submission and ultimate trust between the Dominant and submissive partners.
You are likely now imagining all the different ways that anal hooks can add a new level of thrill in your BDSM play, and I don’t blame you for it! For a lot of couples, anal hooks spice up the BDSM scenarios for folks who already enjoy erotic anal stimulation, humiliation, bondage, domination, or prediciment bondage.
Review of My Top Anal Hooks:
Ready to experiment with anal hooks, but do not know where to start? Look no further than my guide to anal hooks; listed here are only the anal hooks that I have personally tried with my Dom and would recommend to new and experienced users.
Dominix Deluxe Medium
The Dominix Deluxe Medium Anal Hook was the first anal hook my Dom and I tried, and let me tell you readers, we have not looked back since.
This anal hook here was just the start of our journey down the path of more intense and erotic dominatinonin our BDSM scenrarios, and I am going to tell you all about it…
The Dominix Deluxe Medium Anal Hook is no nonsense in its design. This top anal hook is made from solid stainless steel (easy to clean and attractive, professional aesthetic!). It has 11 inches of length (which averages out to something like a size medium in anal hook langage) and feels like heavy metal in your hands.
When I began experimenting with the Dominix Deluxe Medium Anal Hook, it was really hot to actually have to stay in position for my Dom.
I mean, I have been bound before with handcuffs and ropes and the likes, but this new anal hook experience felt different, more vulnerable to my Dom, and way more intense.
I also loved the different positions than my Dom put me in with the Dominix Deluxe Medium Anal Hook. Just the thought of this anal hook being roped to my collar, or bondage ropes, or to a chain turn me on all over again...
If you want to read less and feel more of what I am talking about, hop on over to Lovehoney’s online store to pick up a Dominix Deluxe Medium Anal Hook for yourself.
Trailer Hitch Big Rig
After we could not stop imagining different scenarios with our Dominix Deluxe Medium Anal Hook, boyfriend wanted to get in on the anal play game too.
So, we went over to The Stockroom and picked him up a Trailer Hitch Big Rig, which doubles as a cock ring (one of his favourite sex toys) and anal hook.
Again, the Trailer Hitch Big Rig is crafted out of timeless and heavy 2.24lbs stainless steel. In a way it kind of looks like a trailer hitch because the Trailer Hitch Big Rig has a large round ball at the end of it (I am talking 7.5 inch circumference here).
My boyfriend Ben says it feels incredible inside of his ass, and he loves the weight and fullness of this intense butt plug.
As for the cock ring, boyfriend Ben’s review is positive as well; I could tell from both his facial expression and the rock hard boner he had that this cock ring was doing exactly what he needed it to.
For reference, the Trailer Hitch Big Rig cock ring has a 10 inch circumference and a 4.37 inch perineum bar, which really seemed to fit Ben perfectly. He also mentioned that this heavy steel perineum bar provided a really consistent and satisfying pressure on his P-spot, making the Trailer Hitch Big Rig all the more enjoyable.
Another point: despite the restrictive appearance of the Trailer Hitch Big Rig, which both Ben and I enjoy, it is totally possible to still have penetraitive sex and for him to orgasm intensely while wearing the Trailer Hitch Big Rig.
Cock Anal Hook
Once we tired of the Trailer Hitch Big Rig (yes, we are a sex toy blogger and a sex toy blogger’s partner; we have a short attention span for toys!), we moved on to the Cock Anal Hook that might have been an impluse order on Amazon, but it paid off big time.
The Cock Anal Hook is arguably less intense than the Trailer Hitch Big Rig but that is exactly what Ben was looking for...something for our more casual and routine sex nights when we are not craving so much intensity in our toys. For this reason, I would also recommend the Cock Anal Hook for more beginner users who are still experimenting with cock rings and butt plug play.
The Cock Anal Hook is made out of stainless steel. This top anal hook gives you the choice of three sizes upon purchase, and make sure you measure because there is nothing worse that purchasing a cock ring that is too tight or too loose.
You’ll want to measure around the balls rather than the shaft, because that is where this Anal Cock Hook sits. This is really the only downside of metal cock rings and anal hooks; they do not have the same flexibility or forgiveness that silicone toys offer.
With the Cock Anal Hook, decide between an anal hook with a 40 mm cock ring and 174 gram weight, a 45 mm cock ring and 184 gram weight, or finally a 50 mm cock ring with a 190 gram weight. With each Cock Anal Hook, the ball at the end of the hook bar measures 25 mm around to provide you with firm, albeit less intimidating, anal stimulation.
To this day, Ben continues to pull out this Cock Anal Hook when he is in the mood for something more during blow jobs or sex, or if he wants to do some role reversal in the bedroom, and let me take on the position of Dom.
The Sex Baby 3 Ball Hook
Now that Ben had two anal hooks to his name, it was my turn to add a new toy to my collection, too.
So, I explored Amazon to discover The Sex Baby 3 Ball Hook. After I hit “purchase” and the Sex Baby 3 Ball Hook arrived quickly and discreetly to my doorstep, I was honestly wowed with the overall craftsmanship and design of this anal hook.
Again, The Sex Baby 3 Ball Hook is made from smooth and high quality stainless steel for that sleek and professional appearance.
A new feature that took me by surprise with The Sex Baby 3 Ball Hook is its unique three ball design that is quite different from standard anal hooks and their single ball at the end of the hook.
The Sex Baby 3 Ball Hook measures 9.85 inches long and its largest ball has a diameter of 1.38 inches. I found the Sex Baby 3 Ball Hook easy to insert while using it alongside my favouite lube. I had a feeling that this three ball design would feel more intense inside of me, and boy I was right.
For this reason, I am happy that the Sex Baby 3 Ball Hook was the second toy I experimented with on my path to falling in love with anal hooks, because that way I already had some experience with the powerful sensation of having this hook keeping me in perfect position and in total submission to my Dom.
Needless to say, this Sex Baby 3 Ball Hook kept Ben and I’s attention for many nights, and in many different scenarios.
The Best Anal Hooks: Final Thoughts
Keep in mind that anal hooks are popular in more advanced and experienced BDSM circles. This means that you need to be educated and safe about how you use anal hooks before you purchase one.
Standard BDSM rules apply with these powerful toys: always ensure that you have enthusiastic and ongoing consent from your partner during your BDSM scenarios, and if you need guidance on how to act out BDSM scenarios safely, reach out to your local BDSM club or community.
In all, anal hooks are a thrilling and immensely pleasurably way to intensify your BDSM experiences. You can totally enhance the sexual dynamic between you and your sub by introducing anal hooks in your BDSM scenarios.
