There’s pretty much no better way to introduce gay male porn to Porn For Straight Girls than the film “My Boyfriend Is Gay!” The cover features a startled young lady standing over her boyfriend and his boyfriend.

I’ve talked to a lot of straight women about their feelings toward gay male porn. Plenty of them love it; in the vein of “Straight Guys For Gay Eyes” a few weeks ago, they like the focus on the male body, and if there are two male bodies, so much the better. Some girls don’t like it at all, for a myriad of reasons. Frankly, I could go either way, and it’s usually based on how attractive I find the men in a given film/scene. I really liked this particular movie because the concept was tongue-in-cheek, the men were pretty, and there was literally no plot or dialogue, just sex.

This movie taught me that the following might be signs that my boyfriend is gay: he has a pierced tongue; he has a pierced bellybutton; he has a terrible tribal tattoo; he has immaculately styled facial hair; his hairstyle rivals Ryan Cabrera’s; I frequently leave him alone with other attractive young men with pierced tongues and tribal tattoos and undone overalls.

“My Boyfriend Is Gay!” is directed by KK, and stars a flock of beautiful men with eyes that wander toward one another. The only plot comes through the sets (bathrooms, pools, living rooms) and maybe a tiny bit of conversation, but much of the dialogue is so quiet you can’t hear it or drowned out by the music. Only in the final scene, between Maximus and Chris Kral, did the boys even speak to one another. This was great for me, because I generally dislike storylines and talking. There wasn’t even dirty talk or anything, just grunting and moaning.

The first scene was my favorite, because I thought Julian Tom Linson and Jack Blue were the hottest. Julian Tom Linson totally looks like Jesse Eisenberg. This leads me to conclude that there should be a gay porn parody of “The Social Network,” which a Google search informs me does not exist. What a travesty! Anyway, Jack Blue is dating this cougar lady, and when she leaves the house he fucks Julian, the pool boy. I was also partial to the third scene, with Ronnie Clark and Michael Lope, because they both did top and bottom. (And again, they were especially pretty.) In every scene, there’s lots of making out and groping before the cocks come out to play, and very up-close cumshots, if you like that (I like the former, but I could take or leave the latter.)

Some, but not all, of the scenes end with a “WTF!” moment where the girlfriend walks back in to witness the boys getting it on. These were clearly there to be funny, but I thought they were pretty unnecessary, even to advance the concept, because I just wasn’t at all interested in the women. It broke the flow of the film for me, so I was glad not all the scenes concluded that way.

If you’re a Straight Girl who is curious about gay porn but you haven’t really tried it yet, this would be a good movie to start with. It’s from Male Reality, a new division of Mile High Media (they also have Sweet Sinner and Sweetheart Video, Nica Noelle’s studios) and their porn is pretty consistently high-quality, in my experience. There’s nothing especially freaky or kinky, just beautiful men fucking each other, and I don’t see how anyone would not want to at least give that a try.

We are better people when we don’t, upon hearing a close friend’s sexual fetish, do a spit take (unless our friend gets off on spit takes). That is why we approached this Hegar Sound Set with respect and fascination.

The sound fetish, in which rods of increasing circumference are inserted into the urethra, vagina, or anus of a (willing) participant with the aim of particularly stimulating them, can be the sole, main, or appetizer course in a night of medical fetish play.

As with all equipment (note I don’t say toys) for serious fetish enthusiasts, the Hegar Sound Set comes in no-bullshit packaging, and in a sound session I watched, each stainless steel “sound” was carefully and ritualistically removed from its velvet packaging before being heated, cooled, or inserted raw into its new fleshly packaging.

“I had no idea one could orgasm from that type of play,” says fetish model, director, and dominatrix Julie Simone. “My initial reaction was surprise and intrigue.  It was cool to feel the metal rod inside the sub’s cock and to feel it getting harder not just from the metal, but from the sensation.”

To “sound” is a nautical term meaning to test the depth of a body of water. Over time the idea of sounding has come to mean experimenting with an object’s capacity. These urethral dilators, or medical sounds, are an example of real-world objects being recognized for their sexual uses, like the way I use this Ikea Poang chair whenever you and I are together.

S&M director Jimmy Broadway says that sound play is a true partnership between the dom and sub.

“It can be as intimate as a real fucking, or it can be done cold and clinical,” he says, and describes the feeling as “you are being fucked – your pee hole becomes a miniature vagina and the sound is a little steel dildo.”

These substantial devices (the set of eight pieces weighs a couple of pounds, and even the thinnest sound is a gracefully bent but rigid piece of equipment) seem just a bit more menacing than even the cruelest dungeon whip, but enthusiasts swear by them.

“I love the feel of cold hard metal in my hands,” says Simone. “I love that I am doing something that most men would never let someone do to them and that the person I’m doing it to loves it. I like the way the person’s breathing changes once [the dilator is] inserted and seeing and feeling the cock get hard as the metal is worked in and out, stimulating from the inside.”

As with all marital aids, make sure you are mentally and physically prepared for the experience and that your equipment is sterilized, lest you become sterilized yourself.

Though the name anal probe may be more likely to inspire thoughts of alien invasion than mindblowing orgasms, the Ophoria Rapture Anal Probe is a great way to launch an anal exploration—whether it’s your first or five thousandth.

A graduated anal dildo (made of sterilizable silicone, hurray!), this anal probe starts small and works its way up to much, much bigger. The gradual increase in width makes it very, very easy to warm up your nether regions—or just enjoying the slow increase in size at whatever pace works for you. (As an experienced anal player, I personally had no problem inserting some of the smaller sections with no warm up whatsoever, but true beginners may want to start with a finger or two before switching to the toy.)

However, it’s worth noting that this toy is, at heart, a dildo—and dildos, unlike anal beads and butt plugs, are made for fucking. Though the gradual increase in size is a nice feature, there are no grip points between sections—which means that if you’re not actively inserting the toy into your butt (or having it inserted by someone else, if you prefer), then it’s unlikely to stay in. If you’re the kind of butt pirate who enjoys burying your treasure and forgetting about it, then this anal probe won’t fit your anal stylings—but if you prefer a bumpy ride on the seas of sodomy, than consider this What

Meet the Cobra Libre: it’s a one-of-a-kind vibrating gadget for guys, it’s modeled after the sleek and sexy AC Cobra sports car, and it’ll be best friends with your frenulum preputii penis. What’s a frenulum? You’re about to find out.

This toy represents a new direction for Fun Factory, the German sex accessory (sexcessory) company. Before the Cobra Libre, they focused on crafting dildos and vibrators for the ladies and vibrating cock rings for multiple partners to enjoy. Now they’re shifting gears, giving the vibrator the masculine overhaul it’s always needed. Go ahead, watch the commercial for this thing and tell me what you think you’re buying.

The Cobra Libre is more than just a penis car modeled after a penis car, it’s a truly novel stimulator thrown into a wide world of redundant male pleasure devices. Here’s how it works: unlike masturbator sleeves (such as Fleshlights), you don’t fuck the Cobra Libre. Only the tip of the dick and a bit of shaft fit inside the snug, silicone body (mouth? grill?), and a small ridge cradles the bottom of the head and the frenulum—that stretchy bit of tissue under the glans. One light tap on the touchpad starts the Cobra purring, and two buttons control the intensity and cycle through the pulse/vibration patterns.

How does it feel? Well, it’s different, that’s for sure. Don’t let the aerodynamic elegance fool you; this bad boy boasts two (that’s right, two) motors under the hood, as if to taunt the Twin Paxton Superchargers of the 1966 Cobra Super Snake. When I put my key in the ignition, my natural impulse was to hit top speed. Thankfully, I used enough lube to protect my delicate frenular delta as the vibrations traveled through my body and rattled my prostate. No joke.

The Cobra Libre isn’t exactly mind-blowing. Since the head of the penis is wedged semi-securely inside the toy, there’s no real friction against the skin. I may have stumbled across a couple of toe-curling pulse programs, but that just made me want to fuck the Cobra and it’s simply too cramped, smooth, and solid to screw successfully. My advice: find your favorite setting, hold it there, and work your base/balls with your other hand (or better yet, have a loved one do it). If it sounds like a lot of work, that’s because it is. Plus, this new, unfamiliar buzz doesn’t lend itself to fantasy as easily as a Fleshlight, so you need more time and greater suspension of disbelief to get off. Sorry, Cobra; nothing’s faster than the Flesh of Light.

So the Cobra Libre won’t replace your girlfriend, your boyfriend, or your car, but it’s still an amazing product. There’s absolutely nothing like it on the market, it’s got a fancy rechargeable battery inside, and cleaning it is as easy as washing your favorite mug (if you have sex with your mugs). It might not be too flattering to look down and see the tip of your cock buried in what looks like a weapon from “Minority Report” or maybe the mouth of a xenomorph from “Alien,” but gosh darnit, it makes your penis go vroom.

Back when we were in college, getting naked on the internet required an intimate knowledge of FTP, HTML, and a whole host of other arcane web stuff (as well as walking five miles in the snow).

But with the the advent of sites like Tumblr, any college kid can flash their parts online with only the simplest computer knowledge—as evidenced by the many who can and do on sister sites Boobs at Bard and Cocks on Campus.

What the sites lack in finesse and full body (or face) shots, they more than make up with in an abundance of joyfully exposed collegiate naughty bits. For which we are truly grateful. Shine on, you crazy college exhibitionists…and keep on exposing yourselves to the internet.

Handblown glass: it’s beautiful, stunning—and, as I learned today, surprisingly fun to put in your ass.

Having gone the glass dildo route before, I was not that surprised to see a solid glass butt plug in my review pile. Nevertheless, I was not convinced at first glance that the Simply Blown plug was the plug for me.

Yes, it’s a beautiful toy (not to brag, but mine’s even prettier than the one in the picture), but beauty alone does not a fine sex toy make. The Simply Blown plug seemed, well, small—and it’s narrow profile had me worried that it might slip out at any given opportunity.

Of course, I know better than to judge a book by its cover, so I set my doubts aside and, ahem, placed the plug where the sun don’t shine. And in the process, I got a very pleasant surprise.

Firstly: yes, the plug is a bit small, but that works in its favor. Because of its small size, I was able to insert the toy with almost no prep on (or in) my end. But once inside, it didn’t feel all that small. The hard glass gave the toy a substantial feel—and small though it may have been, I was definitely aware of it (in the best possible way).

Secondly: contrary to my expectations, the toy did not slide out! I’m not sure what sort of voodoo was at work, but I was easily able to walk around, stand up, and sit down without the slightest hint of slippage. Quite the masterful accomplishment, if you ask me.

Ravenous butt sluts may still crave something bigger, but first timers and anal appreciators alike will no doubt enjoy adding this lovely bit of glass to their collection. I know I’m glad it’s there.

No, they’re not the hot new drink that all the sorority girls are guzzling down (well, not yet). They’re an innovative product from J.T.’s Stockroom that hopes to change the way you lube.

Have you ever had one of those nights where you’re getting yourself ready for some awesome anal play…and the lube somehow manages to wind up everywhere on the bed except for your ass? Stockroom feels your pain: and their lube shooter aims to fix what ails you. A small, syringe-shaped piece of plastic, the lube shooter guides your lube to exactly where it needs to go (hint: your butt).

The lube shooters work exactly as directed: with one little squirt, I was lubed and ready to go (and, I might add, that little shooter felt pretty good in my, ahem, shoot). However, it’s not without its problems. Specifically:

It’s one time use only. A lube shooter package comes with three shells and one plunger. The shells are to be disposed after every use, the plunger can be reused a few times. Yes, this is probably easier (and potentially more sanitary) than making a shell that can just be sterilized, but it’s kind of annoying. Especially since

It doesn’t come preloaded with lube. Again, we understand the idea here: it’s nice to know that the shooter’s loaded with our favorite lube. However, it’s a little cumbersome (especially since most lube bottles aren’t designed to work like this), and since it’s one time use only anyway, it’d kinda be nice to be able to just lube and chuck (as it were).

But aside from that, the lube shooters did leave us happy (and well-lubed), so there’s not that much to complain about. Granted, it’s not an absolute necessity, but it is a nice touch—especially if you’re gearing up for a wild—yet clandestine—night in your parents’ guest bedroom.
