Voltigeuse

Longer time between sessions affects my warmup time, but not my overall capacity. When I play with a 9-12" circumference dildo on a regular basis, I don't need to warm up with a smaller toy. But if I went a week or two without any big toys, I'd start my session with a smaller plug or dildo.

It does very much depend upon diet. Generally greens seem to help with most people. Chlorophyll caps should work, and/or green algae. Butt only your partner knows if they notice or prefer the difference.

Yes, super-firm plugs like glass, acrylic, metals, etc have no yield to them, all the flexibility in use comes from you. That's a very different experience compared to rubber. You can maybe find a similarly-sized plug to your preferred electro-plug in another hard material to feel what it is like while costing a lot less.

The second sphincter is usually more-or-less just inside, although it can move around. That marks the transition from the anal cavity to the rectum, and the sigmoid is the bend that marks the transition from the rectum to the descending colon. That ligament is definitely something that requires a bit of relaxation and finesse. After about 20 years of randomly fucking my ass with things I started paying attention and learning to isolate muscles and sensations. Also I listen to my butt's intuition about when to play. Sometimes my ass just needs a rest, or a different kind of attention. What helped me: learning my body's rhythms (digestion, etc) practicing deep breathing good quality poppers stretching and warming up the body using toys to apply a lot of lube up in myself relaxed unhurried time and a playful/curious attitude learning to sense the top of toy and opening for it, leading insertion from the top/inside instead of bottom/outside

I voted "Crisco", but I meant shortening generally. Currently I'm using Spectrum which is non-hydrogenated palm oil. Most of my toys are silicone and thick oil-based lubes are my faves. I've also enjoyed elbow grease, but shortening is a lot cheaper. Albolene (makeup remover) stays slick forever, but leaves a wax residue, so I avoid using it internally. Actually, my go-to is a combination! I use shortening on my fist or toy, but lube my ass with J-lube. I love having different lubes for things! Also I have FC2 in-the-ass condoms I want to try, and they are made of nitrile so should be oil-safe (even though unapproved for that use). Safer sex options for oil-based lubes are uncommon!

Usually, I rely on technique. Putting the bottle on a flat accessible surface where I can reach it but not easily tip it. Having towels nearby for lubed hands. Remembering to not try holding the open bottle with the same hands as my Hitachi or Domi. That usually works. Although once this winter I was playing in the cold and dumped half a big bottle on myself and the space heater near me. It's amazing that I didn't burst into flames! I have also tried masks, and they can be intense. Like putting a few drops on a cotton ball or piece of paper towel and putting it in your respirator. That meo.de site has lots of great popper accessories!

Even just a finger works, especially if you haven't been training this way and maybe aren't sure if you are squeezing or not. Now I like to grab my big toys with my sphincters and lift them, carry them around.

Cannabis and poppers are my main combo as well, and yeah, that can be intense enough to seem "hard drugs dysfunctional" at times. There have been times when between the pleasure, the relaxation, and the rush that I've forgotten where I am and what I'm doing, or started babbling incoherent nonsense. Unless you have blood pressure issues and/or on blood pressure meds (including viagra) it's safe, just disorienting. I've seen only one Siswet vid and would like to see more, so thanks for reminding me!

Yes, I have used electro plugs. I have improvised a few, as well as bought some smaller clinical anal and vaginal electrodes. IIRC my first electro plug was my big aluminum enema nozzle. I drilled a 4mm hole in the base so that it could accept a regular banana cable so I could use it as an electrode. A couple of years ago I made one by molding thermal plastic into a huge plug and pushed metal rods in along the sides as conductors - amazing feeling but hard to clean. What the sensation is like, how painful it is depends upon many factors. The smaller the conductive surface is, the more focused (sharper) the sensation will be. So if for example I use that big aluminum enema nozzle as one electrode, and a 1/4"metal rod in my urethra as the second electrode, the sensation will be much stronger in the urethra where there's less area in contact. Also it depends greatly upon what kind of electrical signal is applied. Voltage, current, frequency, duty cycle, etc. The risks are the same as for electro play generally (careful of heart, and don't burn yourself) and anal play generally (stretch carefully, don't lose it inside of you). Water-based lubes are necessary.

I've done cukes. They're among my least favorite ass veggies for a few reasons. They bruise easily, except for the ones with very thick skins. But the ones with thick skins also often have little hairs/spines that irritate me. Bananas are fun, and plantains are even firmer and thicker. A store near me sometimes has these special fat plantains that are like 6" long by 2.5" diameter and they make amazing butt plugs - especially after (carefully!) heating them. And for actively fucking oneself the texture of an ear of corn is pretty amazing, although I prefer something a little less firm, or with more curvature. Corn the shape of bananas would be perfect! Another fave are eggplant. I love how bulbous the Mediterranean ones are, as well as the tapered length of the Asian varieties. Perfect balance of firm and yielding. Having any big thing hanging out of your butt can be risky for a number of reasons. Falling on or sitting on it by accident. Or having it constantly falling out of you. And having the cucumber fall apart in your hands as you try wrangling it during sexytime. Better IMO for you two to make that anal play the main attraction and pay attention. Otherwise I'd use regular butt plugs if I wanted normal discrete sex.

If my diet is just right, (some plants, grains for fiber) sometimes I go as little rocks. But if they accumulate for a day or two I can have a softball-like turd easily. I use a plunger to bash them apart before flushing, or else it would clog the toilet instantly.
