ToyTorture’s Stocking Stuffer II – House of Bascanio Muzzles

Comparison of the Four Different Muzzle Types

There are few individual toys I get so many reader questions about than the House of Bascanio Muzzles. Not a week passes by without a question in my inbox about their quality and play properties and which one I would recommend for a specific scene. Sadly I could not get my hands on one or two of them. But since I have heard good things about them I at least want to give them an honorary mention in the Christmas gift tips this year.

The Back of a House of Bascanio M5 Muzzle with Attached Bulldog Harness

House of Bascanio currently has the broadest range of muzzles for males with 7 varieties in production. Their muzzles itself did not reinvent the wheel. They all follow the basic design that Sinvention popularised over two decades ago. But the House of Bascanio takes the design to the next level. On the higher range models all their straps are made out of garment leather so they hug the skull tighter for less wiggle room and stronger bondage. They also offer a greater scope and ranger of size customization for a better fit. The more elaborate models feature padding all over the muzzle for more comfort when lying down, a thicker and wider collar (the M2 and M3 even has a design come close to a posture collar for stricter bondage) or locking pins for securing the muzzle. Depending on the model, there are considerably more D-rings which as you know if you have been reading my blog for some time is always better. Speaking if anchor points: Some models can be ordered with a bulldog harness connected to them for more security and a uniform look.

The range of the House of Bascanio muzzles starts at CAD209 and goes up to CAD899 for the top of the line model connected to a padded chest harness.

ToyTorture’s Stocking Stuffer I – Cuffed Classic Rubber Restraints

The Cuffed Classic Restraints Color Range

It has become a time-honored tradition that during the period we call Advent in Germany which means the four Sundays before Christmas I write about some toys that I would love to review but not yet had a chance to add to my playroom.

Two weeks ago I reviewed the Rubstraints from Cuffed and to put is mildly that review apparently stroke a chord. With the Segufix lock and all black or authentic medical restraint color scheme they mean business.

The Cuffed Classic Restraints Full Set

But rubber has always had the appeal of leathers cheekier, more lighthearted and more colorful brother and Cuffed caters to that with their Classic line. With a small locking pin instead of a Segufix lock and D-rings instead of gates they look more like classic cuff restraints – just like their name implies. But the greatest feat: They come in color! The piping around the edge and the body comes in blue, gree, yellow, orange, red and white so you’ve almost got a rainbow. This color range should cover the major (accent) colors used in rubber gear if you want to accessorize your outfit or are pedantic about matching colors when tied down. The Classic Restraints come for neck, biceps, wrist, thigh and ankle. So if you are VERY color-brave, you can use them to signal at least four different hanky codes. And if you ask nicely, I am sure Cuffed will be able to make you restraints also in teal, fuchsia, beige or whatever else floats your boat.

The range starts at 109€ for a puppy collar and ends at 259€ for thigh restraints. If you are interested in the entire set, they sell that for 815€ though then you have to write an e-mail for your color mix and match hanky set 😉

Dragon & Buddy

Toy Properties

Form: Dildo
Material: Platinum Silicone
Colors: 16 colors in different configuration
Firmness: Medium to Firm
Lube: Water, Oil
Cleaning: Soaking in hot water with dish-soap than use sanitizer.
Safer Sex: Clean and sanitize it thoroughly
Storage: Store in a well-ventilated place not touching other toys to prevent damage.

Vendor: KnotMe

Most custom dildo companies reside in the USA. So if you live in Europe and order from them, you have to factor in high shipping and custom charges. At the end of this Anal Toy Special I am delighted to review toys from two manufacturers who are based inside the EU.

Construction

KnotMe is in based in Krakow, Poland, fighting against the an increasingly hostile conservative social and political climate.

KnotMe Dragon and Buddy

As you have probably have guessed already when I review an anal toy, they make all their dildos out of platinum silicone. This means their delicious dongs are 100% body safe, hypoallergenic and easy to clean – as long as you stick to water- or oil-based lubed. The silicone oil in silicone and hybrid lubes will dissolve the material. You clean these toys by soaking them in warm dish-soap water, brush off all residue lube, dry and spray sanitizer on them and store them away not touching other toys.

Detail of the Suction Cup

When it comes to possible configurations, KnotMe is on par with most other manufacturers. Firmness-wise you can choose between soft (Shore A2 so a bit softer than Bad Dragon Soft), medium (Shore A5 like Bad Dragon Medium) and firm (Shore A10, a bit former than Bad Dragon Firm) regardless of the size. They do not offer split firmness. Colorwise you can choose between 16 colors, both in standard and pearl variety. Regardless of the variety, compared to other manufacturer the colors look a bit dull and flat. In the end, it is up to personal taste. Some testees enjoyed the more sedate and subtle looks of the KnotMe toys, other liked to popping and vibrant Bad Dragon style. To color the toy it can either have one color, have a split between base and body or have a marble look called mix which I chose for my toys. Some toys can be equipped with a suction cup for an additional 10€. As with any other manufacturer I implore you to choose this option. In the shower, on the playroom floor, on the thigh of your boy friend… A suction cup is just too useful to safe the money and not having it! Some toys like the Dragon automatically come with a suction cup build in their base.

Toy Name Size Diameter Glans Diameter Knot Insertable Length Overall Length
Buddy S 32mm 63mm 140mm 175mm
M 40mm 75mm 165mm 210mm

M 50mm 68mm 195mm 230mm
L 60mm 80mm 220mm 260mm

Detail of Buddy’s Canine Glans

Playing with Buddy and Dragon

For this review I chose the two most requested toys from their 10-mold range: The Buddy and the Dragon. Both have the unusual yet nifty property that their glans diameter is about the same as the shaft diameter above the knot which makes for an intense knotting experience.

Though Buddy is the rougher of the two. Starting out with a canine-inspired pointy tipped, yet overall dull glans with a significant glans drop on the sides and bottom, Buddy does not smoothly open up the sphincter. The shaft however is a bit anti-climatic. It is slightly convex and bulges a bit towards the bottom. There is also a faint hint of a ventral groove but you REALLY have to focus to feel it with your fingers, let alone your sphincter. The main event resides below the shaft: Two massive slightly oval spheres which form the knot. Even being experienced with anthropomorphic dildos, it is hard for me to find the right words to express how intense the knotting feels!  Since the spheres are compressed on the top and the bottom, their top is flatter and thus duller than you would expect. The knotting is even intensifies by the small recess of the shaft’s bulging above the knot. This is a nice design feature if you just play with the shaft. It offers a “resting” places and emphasis the shaft’s sublet stretching sensation for the more inexperienced player. For the people wanting to take the knot, this pushes the shaft-knot ration to almost 1:2.1, giving even Bad Dragon’s Fenrir a run for his money! Below the knot there is just a short, about sphincter-wide resting space before flowing into an antro-base with a fur look-a-like texture. But the flatish bottom of the knot helps to lock it in place.

Buddy’s Knot

“Lock in place” is a good key word because this is actually what some testees have done with Buddy. Compared to his MASSIVE knot, the shaft is relatively short. So Buddy is the ideal buddy if you want an intense stretch without having to conquer depth. In the large version that I have got, it is just short enough for most testees to be worn without pushing deeper. The base is also smallish enough to more or less fit discreetly and comfortably between the cheeks and more important, not creating leverage. While Buddy is truly a dildo, some knot aficionado will find some use in him as a plug.

For (piston) fucking, Buddy is a bit cumbersome. The base it too small and folds easily if you have chose the suction cup. On the other hand, the suction cup is really strong so if you attach Buddy to a smooth surface, it will hold even during a vigorous fucking.

Dragon plays a different game than his Buddy (sorry, I try to make this the last “buddy” pun of this review. Promise!).  This starts with the tip which has an overall pointy cone-shape. Like the entire dildo it is oval so through twisting and turning inside the anus, it can open up the hole. Below the glans, there are four v-shaped grooves texturing the shaft. They are wide and deep enough to stimulate the anus, especially when fucking more forcefully. As for the prostate, they are not prominent enough to really “punch” it. It is more a gentle “scratching” massage.

Dragon’s Glans

The shaft gently flows into a smooth knot which extended only towards the top side; the shaft’s and knot’s bottom are almost straight. Except for a ridge extending from the shaft’s bottom over it, the knot is completely smooth. At the bottom it tapers smoothly towards the stem where the anus can rest after the knotting. Don’t get me wrong, due to the size and shape, it is a heftyish knot to take. But it tapers so nicely that it can be taken and pushed out easily once you the hole is loose enough.

The base is round, anthro-textured and always features a STRONG suction cup. While Buddy is for the extremer play, Dragon is actually a good starting point if you want to get into knot and anthrodildo play. Both the glans and the knot go in easily (looseness provided) and it has a bit texture to get hooked on it but not too much to make taking the toy difficult.

Dragon’s Knot

Where to buy?

Like all custom-order toys, KnotMe sells only through their website. This way you can configurate the toy just the way you want it. Buddy starts at 60€ and goes up all the way to 160€ in XL with all options selected. Dragon starts at 70€ but ends already at 115€.

Kink’s Out for Summer – ToyTorture.com Summer Break

Like every summer, I am taking a few weeks off from reviewing toys in order to travel and fully indulge into the fair weathered days & white nights. Ususally I return to the reviewing schedule at Folsom Europe. But since this year everything is a bit different, I might be back a little bit earlier.

So what can you look forward to in the second half of 2020? With solitary play still playing a big role in our lifes, I will kick off the new season with an Anal Toy Special, reviewing toys from beloved brands like Bad Dragon, Mr Hankey’s Toy or SquarePeg but also introducing new ones to ToyTorture.com like Weredog. Coming closer to Christmas and the Christmas bonus shopping season, I will take a look at once-in-a-lifetime purchases like Mr S Straitjackets or elaborate hoods. And in between I will sprinkle impact toys, bondage gear, maybe a massager or even another e-stim power box, making ToyTorture.com the mixed bag of perversions as you know it!

While there won’t be new reviews, I am still online on a regular basis. So visit my Recon or PlanetRomeo profile, follow me on Twitter or send me an e-mail if you need to advice.

Happy Holidays you delightful reprobates! I hope you are all looking forward to some kinky fun and rectal stuffing after binging on all the delicious Christmas delights.

Like the past years, I am taking a little – longer – creative break from ToyTorture.com, gather review experience and maybe find some interesting review samples. I will probably be back when the  crocus start to blossom or maybe a bit later. In the meantime, enjoy the naughty (and trivial) stuff I post on my Twitter account. Of course, my inboxes on ALL the plattforms are still open for questions, suggesstions or rants. See you all in the new decade!

Saw

Lube: Water, Oil

Vendor: Organotoy

I pondered if I and if yes how I should review this toy. So as a little Christmas Special, here’s a review or more an experience report straight out of my cabinet of curiosities…

Detail of the Saw’s Grip

Sometimes toys come my way the most unlikely ways. Sometimes I come across toys where I think “What the fuck?!”  And sometimes both things happen at the same time. This is the story of my Organotoy Saw.

Some moons ago, I received an unexpected parcel in my mailbox. It was from a dear friend. In the enclosed letter she explained that she used this toy to humiliate and milk her chaste ex. After ritually cleansing the toy with bleach, she still did not want it around her so she sent it my way.  And now I am stuck with a massive chunk of bright pink piece of top notch silicone in my playroom. Since I know a lot of you pervs are into chastity, maybe this little report of my experience will help you with your prostate health.

Construction

First things first: My pictures do not do the color justice. My Saw is pink. Bright pink. Some might even call it Barbie pink. Great if you are into humiliation, feminization or a fan of the works of Tracey Emin (Yes, legal sex is indeed anal!), but if you look for homomasculinity in BDSM this toy is… particular. Or among my mostly black and graphite SquarePeg toys literally the big pink elefant in the middle of the room… ehm… toy rack. Luckily you are not limited to pink when ordering this toy. Organo toy will make it in almost every color or pattern for you. You can even add an airbrushed dedication.

The Organotoy Large Saw – in Bright Pink

The Saw is one of those toys which name already implies the shape. The body is roughly shaped like a saw blade with smooth and rounded yet teeth like bumps on the bottom of the body. The blade’s width gradually increases while the depth almost stays the same. This way the sensation is focused on the pressure on the prostate and not on the stretch sensation. To ensure this the Saw come in three sizes: Son of Saw with a maximum diameter of 50mm, the Saw M with a max. stretch of 73mm and the Saw L with 100mm. Luckily her ex was also into fisthing so my Saw is a large one. The Saw comes in two base varieties: The standard Saw has a large, chunky grip which makes the toy look a bit like a jack saw but also well manageable with lubey hands (I wonder how her gracile hands grabbed the massive handle…). There is also a Trainer version out there with a big, solid base if you want to ride your Saw on your own.

The Saw is cast using a mould which leads to a seam running around the middle of the toy. It is evened out using a diamond polisher but you can still feel it a bit. Call it added torture, especially in the firmer degrees. Speaking of firmness: While in theory you can order this toy in every firmness Organotoy makes (and they make every between wobbly Shore 00-30 up to vinyl-like A30), I guess the Saw only makes sense from Shore A15 upwards because you need the firmness to keep the pressure focused on the prostate. Mine is Shore A30, the firmest silicone they make, and despite the seam and the amount of poppers needed to take the toy without warm-up (which I would not recommend doing! Some pre-stretching should be done!) it is the perfect toy for prostate stimulation.

Detail of the Saw’s Teeth

Playing with the Saw

Prostate stimulation is the right segway into this segment. The Saw is a toy purely made for prostate stimulation. The firmness in combination with the soft yet prominent bumps apply the right amount of pressure onto the prostate to facilitate semen release. Unlike the stereotype perpetuated in Road Trip expelling cum through prostate stimulation is nothing that – at first – happens quickly and is not as orgastic as shown in the clip. It takes practice to give in into the stimulation, process it and release the cum. So do not expect too much out of the box but just keep practicing. I sent my Saw to a chastity top to try on some of his subs and he was amazed how well, reliable and quickly the toy worked after they got used to it. For those not output-driven, the Saw is a devilish toy for prostate torment.

For other things, it is not really made. Through the oval profile, it stretches the sphincter unevenly and thus is not really made for girth training. I guess there is an academic scenario in which you could wear the Trainer models for extended periods of time but… never mind.

Where to buy?

Oragnotoy only sells through their website which frankly is also the only logical way to get their toys due to the degree of customization. I guess they have some Saws in stock in standard colors and HARD firmness if you are locked up and need release QUICKLY. But the real fun is in having an individual toy crafted to your desires. The Saws start at 55.96€ for the Medium Trainer and go up all the way to a large one for 99.96€. But considering what a custom chastity device costs, this is just a small investment for a necessary accessory and a fun toy for the top to tease the desperate sub.

ToyTorture’s Stocking Stuffer III – Army of Men Leather Jock

The Army of Men Plain Leather Jockstrap

Sometimes, events impact the course of the ToyTorture in unexpected ways. Ever since ToyTorture.com gained some noticeable following some five years ago, I got a constant stream of questions about where to buy gear. I always refused to review gear. Design and styles are too individual and gear is too expensive to buy it in large quantities from different manufactures to have some scope and get enough knowledge to judge quality. Finally, I am too little of a gear head to justify large amounts of gear getting dusty in my wardrobe. But the messages did not stop so last fall I started to draft the concept for a gear format on Tumblr (for several legal reasons I could not run it on my own website being hosted in Germany). It should be short and snappy and tell my subjective thoughts why I like this particular piece of gear from my closet. The first product which was to be featured in the beginning of 2019 was to be the Army of Men Leather Jock – and then the Tumblr porn ban happened. So for legal reasons with pics from the manufacturer here is the only ever ToyTorture’s Gear Glance to be published.

For a long time I have been looking for a leather jockstrap because I have very particular requirements for one. First: All leather. Most jockstraps on the market have a leather pouch and an elastic waistband. But if I wear leather, I want ALL leather. Second: Accessibility. If you can find an all leather jockstrap, the cup is usually sewn onto the waistband and the ass straps, making the dick inaccessible. Third: Looking good on its own. If I feel like wearing the jockstrap without anything else, it has to stand out for itself.

Detail of the Framework of the Army of Men Leather Jockstrap

To my surprise, there were two options available on eBay. I tried one and well… questionable leather source, probably Chrome-6 polluted, cardboard like leather. Sent it back right away! And then I stumbled across the small Australian leather manufacturer Army of Men and hit the jackpot!

Obviously the jockstrap is all leather. And what a leather it is! Despite being made out of thick hide with a beautiful subtle grain and lined with gentler leather, the entire jockstrap is soft and smooth. You can feel the quality and liveliness of the leather. And smell it. The hides have been so subtly dyed that most of the original leather smell has been preserved. As a bottom, I would gladly sniff the cup of this jockstrap. The attention to quality and detail does not stop at the leather. The metal trim can either be ordered in plain stainless steel or black metal trim for either a classical contrast or modern all black look.

Example of a Two-Tone Jockstrap with a Harness Codpiece

The Army of Men Jock easily meets accessibility criteria with its codpiece cup. The big advantage of this cup it that is comes in two sizes. As a guy with low-hangers who also likes cockrings and ballstretchers, all codpieces of my rubber gear can just contain my junk by itself. As soon as I add any CB gear, I cannot close the lower stud anymore. The large size of this codpiece can contain my junk, a cockring and a small ballstretcher so it should be able to handle even better endowed guys like me.

The codpiece is also a good transition to my last requirement. While the waistband and cheek straps are mostly hidden by the chaps, most attention it paid to the cup of a jockstrap. And with Army of Men you have more options on codpieces than you thought you would ever need. Starting with plain colored ones in seven different colors plus two metallic ones, their signature look is a little black crossbow harness across the codpiece also available in different base colors. For a plain, two color look you can choose between a chevron or tiger stripes either as black on primary colors or neoprene colors on black. I currently have to codpieces (an all black harness and a red chevron) but the urge to get more codpieces to coordinate with different styles and colors of gear is strong…

Different Codpiece Styles

Besides the extravagant codpieces, the Army of Men jockstrap finds the right balance between sophisticated design with their O-rings connection the codpiece front with the adjustable waistband and sleekness with hiding the adjustability with a few snap buttons. It has a little rough,steampunky look without being too flashy. Since the waistband attaches to the front with snap buttons on both sides, you can easily replace it, if your body type chances a bit or throw in a different colored waistband if you want to add a bit more of color. Finally from a practical point of view, I like the O-rings at the front because I can clip my some of my harnesses, leather suspenders or Sam Brownes into them. Throw on a pair of boots and maybe a leather vest and despite almost being naked, you have a complete, all leather look to rock. And that’s one of the main reasons I love my Army of Men jockstrap so much!

The plain all leather jockstrap starts at $245 AUD and at $267 AUD for a two color version with an elaborate codpiece. Speaking of codpieces, they range between $70 AUD and $85 AUD. But I warn you: If you start buying a second one, you will most likely not stop there!

ToyTorture’s Stocking Stuffer II – Paddle Daddy Toys

Paddel Daddy Bubinga Rubber Thread Paddle

When I started ToyTorture.com over seven years ago, I wanted to show the world that there are many other small shops, brands and manufacturers out there than just the big boys everybody thinks about when they hear “kink toys”. These small businesses which do not need to rely on scale effects are often driving the development of new toys through their creativity and niche customer base. One of these stores is Paddle Daddy.

I met the owner and founder Al at my first Inferno in 2014. Back then I was a student and could not afford any his great toys – an error I corrected three years later and the two toys I have bought back then are still some my favorite impact implements. When I reached out to Al after this year’s Inferno to order a toy which was no longer on his website, I learned that he is about to retire in a couple of months. So if he can’t find somebody to take over his business, some time in 2020 the last ever Paddle Daddy toys will be made.

Paddle Daddy Bubinga Handle Leather Strap

Over the course of the five years since I have been introduced to his toys, I have experienced many of his toys – mostly as a sub but some as a top. The quality it top notch, the design superior. You can really tell that they have been created and crafted by a person who really understands the ergonomics of impact play. Usually on the severe end of the sensation range, a skilled impact top can still elicit a wide range from thud to sting from most of them. So I urge every impact aficionado to add one of these great toys to their collection while they are still out there. Paddle Daddy is most known for his wooden toys, but if like it heavy, the unbreakable bulletproof ones should catch your eye.

He has stopped selling directly years ago, but you can find his products at some well-assorted BDSM stores like Clonezone in the UK.

ToyTorture’s Stocking Stuffer I – Topped Toys Spike

The Topped Toys Spike 105 in their Signature Forge Red color and Steel Blue

It is the first Advent Sunday which means each Sunday until Christmas I will give you some stocking stuffer tips  I would love to get my stockings – or in this case ass – stuffed with.

In today’s review I talked about textured depth toys which I really enjoyed. A few weeks ago I reviewed my first toys from Topped Toys and loved them. What would happen if the two things would be combined? Well, the Topped Toys Spike would happen! Made out of high quality and soft platinum silicone, this is one of the most intense depth toys I have seen so for. One side of toy has deep bumps, almost like a saw – or a graphic Christmas tree. The other side has gentle bumps. So depending on the orientation the prostate gets gently stimulated or heavily tormented. And I cannot imagine what happens when the Spike penetrates the second sphincter!

If you are a bit too hesitant if such a heavily textured toy with a maximum diameter of 84mm and an insertable length of 355mm might be a bit too extreme for you, Topped Toys introduce a small brother to the original Spike 105 a couple of weeks ago: The Spike 70. With an insertable length of 241mm, a maximum diameter of 56mm and just the bumps on one side it is the perfect toy for the more careful and inexperienced anal play.

The Spike 70 on top of the Spike 105

The Spike 105 costs 133€ while the Spike 70 retails for 65€ at Topped Toys‘ website. But a little birdie told me that they are looking to expand their retail network so they great ass tools might be coming to a perverted store near you soon. So you can check out in person if the Spike 70 is enough or you are feeling ambitious for the Spike 105.

P.S.:
As a friend once told me: Don’t buy the toys for the hole that you have but for the hole that you want… 😉

ToyTorture’s Stocking Stuffer VI –Mr Hankey Textured Plugs

You – my readers – have a weird relationship with anthropomorphic anal toys: The more I review them, the thirstier you become for more info. So as soon as I published the review of the Dragon and XXXCalibur from Mr Hankey I got inundated with review requests for their other toys. This little piece is basically a shortlist of the most requested models:

Prince Charming: The heavily textured head with a large rim in combination with the knotty shaft promise fun somewhere between agony and ecstasy.

Solatok: Less a plug, more a dildo it seems ideal for fucking. The scales on the back will torment the prostate while the large knot will bust the sphincter.

Butt Bolt: This one looks like a real bruiser. A large tip promises an intense entry, the ridges on the side will stimulate/ tire out the sphincter intensely and the large different between the maximum diameter and the neck will be a good approximation of a fist punching a hole.

This list is a great example of your great taste – or how well you know what makes the hungry ass pig in me happy. So as much as these toys are on my Christmas list for reviewing them for you, as much am I and my testee panel looking forward to the testing process if I should get them one day.

As with all items in the little gift guide list Mr Hankey’s toys are premium quality, being hand crafted out of top notch platinum silicone which is reflected in the price. The Prince Charming and the Solatok are available at Mr S for prices between $129.95 and $184.95 depending on the size while at the moment the Butt Bolt is only available at Mr Hankey directly for between $69.95 and $144.95. But if they are as good as the ones which are currently traveling through Europe bringing joy to my testees, they are worth their money!
