These devices have been around for longer than you might expect. The anal hook, like many BDSM toys, adds an element of discomfort or pain to a willing bottom/victim, but medieval torture devices were used to injure and maim. In many cases, they were used to kill. Some medieval torture devices slightly resemble anal hooks, BDSM toys, dungeon furniture, and bondage equipment. However, these devices –unlike today's BDSM gear– were not used for playing with a lover behind closed doors, or submissive at a play party. They were used to humiliate and torture the victims to death as punishment for crimes committed or the torturers sadistic amusement. Although we don’t use these types of torture devices anymore, we can still get deliciously sadistic ideas to use in fun ways in the bedroom.

For men, the balls on the end of the hooks can also give you some fantastic stimulation of the prostate. Even just having it in while doing other things, or during sex, can give men a fantastic bit of stimulation on the gland. Some lucky guys are even able to experience orgasm solely from prostate stimulation, although if this is your aim you’ll probably be better off with a prostate massager rather than an anal hook.

You can incorporate temperature play and warm up the hook before insertion, or putting it into the freezer for some cold hook ups.

So, why not do a little fishing first to find out what works? Introduce your new BDSM tackle during a soft/moderate scene to determine what works best and how the hook fits the slave’s body. Discuss with each other how it feels in various different positions so that when you move onto something a little more hardcore you don’t inadvertently do some damage. As always, communication is key.What to do to be safe: 

- Have a safe word & use if necessary. This is a word which you are unlikely to say during your session, but if any member of the involved group say it then everything must stop immediately. Any reason for this is fine, be it pain, psychological, comfort, whatever, just be sure you have a safe word in place before you begin, and that you trust the people you’re with to respect this. 

-Stop if you experience any hard pain. If too much pressure is places on the anal muscles by the hook, its a really easy way to get a tear and have to take a trip to the emergency room.-Make sure all edges are rounded and smooth 

-Choose a hook with a ball on the end – this helps to keep the ball in place and distributes pulling/tugging over a larger area 

-Clean toy thoroughly after use
