The Sexy Spades large butt plug is part of DocJohnson's Glass Dream's line of sensual toys. It's certainly a plug for the advanced anal player (or the extremely adventurous newcomer!). The Sexy Spades large plug can be used for foreplay, anal sex play, or as an addition to spice up any type of sexual encounter by including the Sexy Spades for anal use.

As far as safety precautions go, if you or your partner(s) are a beginner to anal play, please be cautious and go slow. Doc Johnson's large Sexy Spades plug is quite large. Use lots and lots and lots of lube. When you think you have enough, use more! It helps to be gloved up (nitrile gloves are best, as they avoid potential latex sensitivities) or have your partner glove up because the Sexy Spades butt plug does get quite slippery when drenched in lube!

For those new to anal play, start with lubing up the anal area with a gloved finger, then partial insertion of a small lubed finger, full insertion of a small finger, moving on to partial insertion of a larger lubed-up finger until you can comfortably get a few of your fingers or your partner's fingers inside. This shouldn't hurt. Don't use anal de-sensitizing or shrinking creams. These can cause tissue tears and serious medical damage. The goal of anal play is pleasure, not bodily harm! Once you (or your partner) is relaxed enough to start playing with the Sexy Spades plug, begin with gentle twisting and swirling motions combined with light pressure at the anus. Women may enjoy simultaneous clit stimulation, and men may likewise enjoy simultaneous stimulation of their cock & balls.

Stimulating the other erogenous zones also helps to relax the anus and make anal play easier and more fun for all! Remember lube, lube, lube! Also, communication with your partner (or yourself, for that matter!) is paramount where anal-loving is concerned. Talk about sensation, speed, pressure, pacing, lube, what feels good, what doesn't, and remind the recipient to take deep breaths through it all!

The Sexy Spades plug is made of tempered glass, which is also known as Pyrex. I absolutely adore the material! It is smooth to touch, and feels like heaven inside my ass. Once the Sexy Spade was inside me and my sphincter grabbed hold of the tapered cylinder leading up to the base, I orgasmed instantly. This spade is firm and weighted perfectly. It took me about 15 minutes to work up to inserting the first time; it's the largest Pyrex plug I've ever had inside of me. I found the material to do wonders for insertion with lube, though. It does get slippery, though, and you might need to glove-up to get a good grip on 'er. The Sexy Spades plug is completely non-porous and odorless. Win!

I give the DocJohnson design team kudos on this one. I think the hit the mark with the Sexy Spades large butt plug. It's gorgeous to look at, orgasm-inducing to insert and "wear", and makes me drool with pleasure-envy and sensate-heaven just to hold it in my hand and run my fingers all over its smooth curves.

Don't get me wrong; this is a large, large plug. I do not recommend it for the weak of heart, or the anal beginner, by any means. Beginners to anal play may want to invest in the small Sexy Spades plug by DocJohnson, since this is a quality product line, and I'm sure one could work up to the medium and large sizes in time.

This toy is discreet in that like most glass toys, it is decorative and could easily be a collector's item of art, sitting out on a coffee table, bookshelf, or as a desk paperweight. It is suitable for travel--just keep in mind that it's on the heavier side, and you'd want to make sure to travel with it in a padded case or bubblewrap it securely.

What's best about the Sexy Spades large plug? Ummm... everything! No, seriously, this is really a hard question for me. It looks awesome, feels awesome outside and inside, is easy to sterilize and clean, is totally body-friendly, doesn't require any batteries, will last forever (which makes it environmentally-friendly, too), can double as a decoration in your house, is hypo-allergenic, non-porous, compatible with a wide-variety of lubes, can be used with all types of condoms and shared with partners if you want, is comfortable to wear for extended periods of time, is a bestower of great anal orgasms... need I say more?!

Like I said, this Sexy Spade stole my heart. Truly.

(And before today, I didn't even know I was such an anal slut!)

DocJohnson's Sexy Spades large butt plug is made of Pyrex (aka tempered glass) and is super-easy to care for. You can bleach it, boil it, throw it in the dishwasher, clean it with soap and hot water, or wipe it down with isopropyl alcohol or sex-toy cleaner. Your choice.

Pyrex is hypo-allergenic, 100% non-porous, latex-free, pthalates-free, food-grade material that is completely body-friendly and really safe. It doesn't tend to break like standard glass toys. If it does happen to break, it will break in large pieces, not tiny small ones.

Pyrex is safe for temperature-play, which means that you can throw your Sexy Spades plug in the microwave or freezer (or hot or cold water) for some extra fun!

It gets uber-slippery with just a tiny amount of lube and is compatible with all of your favorite silicone, water-based and oil-based lubricants. It's always a good idea to use condoms if you plan to share your toys to help prevent the spread of infection; just remember that condoms and oil-based lube don't mix. Stay safe, and enjoy yourself!

This is my new favorite toy, hands-down! I'm in love; seriously!
