The reason I mention unethical manufacturers is that, at least in my country, which is internationally known for being incredibly strict, you can buy “phthalate free” adult toys that are anything but, “100% platinum cured silicone” dildos that are sticky to the touch and so forth. For one thing, there are loopholes, like selling such items as “novelty items”, and it seems like no agency actually enforces these rules.
I don’t know about the States and the UK, but just because a manufacturer claims an adult toy is safe, it doesn’t have to be.
Similar approach in the U.S. as well. This stuff falls outside of regulation as a “novelty”. This implies it won’t be used internally which is, of course, a total fallacy… or should I say “phallacy”!
Same thing with supplements in the U.S. supplements fall outside the jurisdiction of the Food and Drug Administration. There are few controls regarding efficacy, let alone safety. “Buyer beware”, which is the best and safest way for consumers to avoid issues.
I research just about everything before making a purchase or medical decision.
Happy Labor Day to those who celebrate it! Well, I made it through the whole month and anally masturbated every time I showered. It’s really been quite a month and I’ve seen at least two major benefits of the challenge. First, I’ve really increased my stretch. The plug that I’ve been using now goes in super easily with very little prep needed, to the point that I’m shopping around for a new one when I have the money and can get it discreetly. Two, it’s really increased the pleasure I experience with anal penetration. I think these mythical anal only orgasms you guys talk about are still a long way off for me, but I’ve started to see a light at the end of the tunnel where I could see it happening for me, and that really excites me.
Anyways, it’s been a great experience, I’m trying to think up a challenge for September now!
That assumes the conversation I’m hoping to have with my partner about him being more open to exploring anal play with me goes well. But sure, I’ll bite. No orgasms unless something’s in my ass for September!
