How long was it before most people started doing videos? I'm not sure that I am ready to take that on yet.

i'd mention anal use if you think it's important for safety purposes. your statement sounds perfect. i like to explain WHY a flared base is important too. even if it's repetitious for alot of seasoned users, some will be learning something vital to their own butt safety.

I would use "I wouldn't recommend it for anal use..."

It makes it sound more personal and less do or die.

"How very hipster of you" I love it! Although I was oddly reminded of Elton Brown's Good Eats on the Food Network.

Just saying "we couldn't try anal" is fine, I don't think anyone will hold it against you. Adding the "I know it's safe thanks to base" or "don't attempt anal use due to lack of base" is simple enough.

Sometimes with a toy that's anally compatible but I've only used it vaginally, I'll just add "(or p-spot)" after I mention my g-spot. The same kinds of toys will work for both, and that's an unobtrusive nod to the safety of the toy.

You can always tell people that you didn't use it that way, and to the best of your knowledge it may or may not be useful for anal play. If you don't think it's safe for anal use, go ahead and say that and why.

Some people start with it. Some people only do a couple...it's all up to your comfort level.

I had been reviewing for 5 or so months before I did my first video review. Some people jump right in, others have no desire to do it yet. Don't worry about it until you're ready to do it and comfortable with doing it

I'm so excited - about to start doing video reviews. I didn't have a web camera so my husband went out and got me the nicest one we could get here in town. I was like, "We shouldn't spend this much" and he was like, "Are you kidding me? You're gonna do great and our life is so much better now and the more you do reviews the more toys you'll get. I'm getting you the best webcam we can - plus we will be ugrading your computer sometime."

It was so nice to see him supportive of my desire to do video reviews.

I think Tim convinced me to try doing video reviews 2-3 months after I started. I was really nervous at first, but it's not so bad once you get a few under your belt.

I wish it was ethical to stack animals---I would love to make a bunny tower and hug it.

That's so awesome! My husband was very supportive of my decision to join the review program and the video program and when I started working here he was extremely happy for me because he could tell how happy I was from being a part of this awesome community

i did it after about 30 reviews and about 4 months hanging around EF pretty actively. it's whenever you're comfy with it though of course.

Thanks for the lead in, H&S Momma:

Have your significant others helped you with your reviews willingly?

How about the single folks, how have you brought this up to new people?
