Have you ever looked at something online and decided you had to have it even if you couldn't use it? Then you know exactly how I felt about the Sexy Spades Small butt plug from Doc Johnson! The first time I saw this beautiful piece of glass I knew I had to have it even if it only got used as a lovely paperweight. You see, I am a true anal play novice who looks with awe at the reviewers who blithely write about their experiences with much larger toys. I am like the kid at the candy store with her nose pressed up against the glass...that word again, yes I am addicted to glass!

The Sexy Spades is a lovely anal toy that is shaped like a teardrop on a graceful glass stem. The colors start at the most beautiful cobalt blue and swirl down through green and then amber until the bottom of the teardrop where the glass is clear through to the base. It is a total of 3 1/4 inches long with 2 3/4 inches being insertable. It is 1 1/2 inches in diameter at it's largest making it more of a medium toy than a truly small one. The neck of the toy is around 7/8 inches and is great for allowing the 'rest' after the initial stretching. The toy weighs in at a pretty substantial 1/4 pound. It is weighty enough to sit pretty still during play but not so weighty that it causes sphincter fatigue if you decide to wear it while walking around.
Although this is marketed as a small plug be warned, reader, that this means it is the smallest in the line. This is a pretty substantial plug and definitely not a slimline! If you are wanting to use this toy as a double penetration toy, ladies, be slow and gentle as it feels much larger inside than it looks. DP can be a bit painful especially if you like hard, fast thrusting, like I do.
The Sexy Spades is a solid glass toy and has zero give. This means there is no forgiveness if you don't warm up properly or use some proper lube. It is not very comfortable to sit on, at least for me, and the round base of the toy doesn't slide between the cheeks as easily as a rectangular base does. Walking around with it in is possible but not terribly comfortable, though your mileage may vary. On the upside it is glass so a little lube goes a LONG way and the base shouldn't pull a disappearing act on you.

This is a tempered glass toy and I do notice a few air bubbles near the surface of the toy. This is not a detraction to the safety or look of the piece, to my mind it adds charm and character. Tempered glass will take more force than even your asshole of steel to crush, shatter or otherwise break. As with all glass toys be sure to inspect regularly for chips, scratches or breaks especially if you drop it while cleaning or during play.

Cleaning this toy is a breeze, some hot water and soap and you are good to go! You could use a commercial toy cleaner or boil it. It is a bit small to throw in the dishwasher as it could get tossed around possibly chipping the toy or breaking the blades of the machine.

When I first looked at this toy, all shinning and gorgeous I figured it would be a lovely and interesting paper weight. I was ok with that! As I got further along in my anal play and realized that the slimline toys I was using just weren't enough anymore I got curious about the Spade.
I knew it would be a challenge and I didn't want to discourage Sigel so I waited until he was away on a business trip. I chose a night and set everything up carefully. I laid out my slimline toys, some good quality anal lube (I chose System Jo Anal) and a couple clitoral stimulators. I lubed up and began warming and relaxing my rear passage before taking a deep breath and lubing up the Sexy Spade.
It felt HUGE!! I mean I could have sworn I was trying to shove a semi up there! So I slowed down and teased my bum with a vibrator and then tried again, much better. I found that if I lay down on my side it was a bit easier to maneuver the plug into position. It took around 30 minutes of teasing and stroking the toy in and out before I got relaxed enough to allow that final stretch to happen. Once it was in though, it felt AMAZING. I mean, ya I had the satisfaction of a job well done and all, but I had never felt the amazing feeling of being so full and yet not hurting. THIS was what all those lovely people who talked to me about anal play were talking about! No more burning, friction, pain just silky, smooth movement that seemed to set my ass, vagina and clitoris on fire.
I finally got to orgasm without the plug shooting out and it was indescribably good. I was babbling to Sigel and Arch about it later that night and was all like, "You have GOT to try this!"
They were both bemused as I was always the one insisting that rear play was a NO-NO!
I definitely recommend this for new players who want a bit of a challenge or for players more advanced as a good warm up.

I have finally worked my way up to using this beautiful but unforgiving toy on a more regular basis. It has resisted chipping and fracturing despite some rather rough treatment, this is one tough little plug!
