This time, when the box from EdenFantasys arrived, I had hoped I'd get first dibs. Sigh. It was not to be. I pulled the Light-up Butt Buddy from its plastic clamshell, loaded it up with batteries, and blinked. And in that instant, it disappeared under the covers with my naked wife. I peaked under the blanket to see her teasing her clit with the probe, the tip of it glowing a soft cyan, matching the light's brightness with the intensity of the vibrations. I'm not entirely certain how long she spent fooling with the toy, as it was very quiet, and I couldn't hear it over the sound of the TV.

For once I did get to be the first to use our new toy for its intended purpose. A bit after my wife familiarized herself with the Butt Buddy, I joined her in the bed and got to work where she'd left off. Once I'd plowed her through her first orgasm, I brought out the toy and the lube. I figured I'd better be the one to ease the probe into my ass, since it was a bit larger than our last few anal toys. And, unfortunately, I rushed it.

The Butt Buddy is only slightly wider than our other (beginner) anal toys, but it taught me a valuable lesson about lube and patience. I took a minute to relax and recover and tried again, this time sliding it in past the head. Getting over the second bulge was easy at that point.

The Butt Buddy can adjust anywhere from a slow rumble to a moderate buzz, and every setting feels very nice, especially if you work up the intensity slowly. The probe isn't very long, though, and the wide, suction-cup base tends to encourage it to hold its position at the first narrow point after the head, rather than the second by the suction-cup. It feels mighty good there, especially when clenching the sphincter, but I feel it in my prostate much better with it fully inserted. An extra inch would really improve this toy.

The Butt Buddy definitely made it on my favorites list, so it took a bit before my wife got her turn. When her time came, and having learned from my experiences, I kept a finger on the end of the probe. Just as it had for me, the Butt Buddy liked to slide out from that last notch. So I'd ease it back in. Over and over.

When she finally came down from her orgasm and her powers of speech returned, I asked her for her thoughts on the toy. She told me I'd used it just the right way, and that it wasn't overwhelming, like her experience with the Screwtime Anal Probe. In her opinion, the Butt Buddy is perfect.
