It took my husband and me about thirteen years to finally start exploring our butts. Our first anal toy purchase: The Aneros Peridise, a pair of hard plastic anal probes suitable for men or women.

The Peridise offer two different sizes, and neither is intimidating to beginners like us. Canoe-shaped bases ensure these little probes won't get lost inside anyone's ass, and the smooth plastic flares and tapers for really enjoyable sensations when used in an in-and-out motion.

The first time we used the Peridise, my husband inserted the smaller probe in my ass. We used copious amounts of lube and took it slow, and that alone just about got us both off. When the probe was all the way in (about four inches), he proceeded to fuck me doggy-style while I went to town on my clit with my LAYAspot vibe. The Peridise stayed in place even with vigorous thrusting in my vagina, giving me a feeling of fullness I'd never experienced before.

To my surprise, the Peridise added enough extra sensation to our lovemaking to make me come very quickly -- and the orgasm was different from any I'd ever experienced. The nerves in my ass that were stimulated by the Peridise gave my usual clitoral orgasm something extra and very, very good.

Because I came so fast, my husband was still hard and ready for more action. We removed the Peridise, and he (very carefully and again with buckets of lube) entered my ass with his cock. That was a first for us, but the Peridise had done a good job of getting me used to the feeling of something in my ass.

We both felt that experience was fantastic, so a couple of nights later we again pulled out the Peridise. This time I used the smaller probe on him (the hard plastic makes the Peridise super easy to clean, so we had no reservations about using the same anal probe on both of us after it was washed in hot soapy water), and he lubed up the larger probe and stuck it in my ass. I get wet easily, so I hopped on his cock and started riding him.

He quickly got used to the Peridise and actually shouted from the new sensations while we fucked. I again used my trusty LAYAspot on my clit, and we both came hard and fast.

Needless to say, the Aneros Peridise will be a regular part of our sexual play. Couples new to anal play will not be disappointed by this anal probe. It is a beautifully designed his-n-hers (or just hers, or just his) anal toy that's perfect for the anal first-timer. The Peridise might look small and simple, but it is pure pleasure.
