I'm looking for some advice on toys, and perhaps even techniques, from people who are experts in more advanced anal play.

I've been playing around with anal toys for a while now, and steadily increasing the size of them, to the point that I can take a 2 3/8" diameter without too much trouble. The problem I have though is with length.

With the majority of toys I use the deepest I can comfortably get is about 5". Now I understand the anatomy of the body, and why this is happening, as the rectum turns a sharp right angle into the sigmoid colon, but I also know that people are able to overcome this, yet I haven't figured out how.

If I'm using anal beads or The Groove then I can comfortably get them in deep because the end is narrow and flexible, but I want to be able to use thicker things. My smallest dildo is The Tool at only 1 1/2" diameter, and which has a tapered end, but even with that after I insert it 5" it's a real struggle to work it in to 6".

Sometimes I worry that it's because all my toys are silicone, and it's just not flexible enough to snake around inside me at this stage. Am I going to need to use a more bendy and less bodysafe material to start with until I can master this?

I keep looking for a toy which is both long, but also has a narrow flexible tip, to use to help me to take something thicker deeper. So far all I have found is the Tantus Cowboy, but that seems a little on the big side, not to mention expensive.

One day I'd like to be able to take one of my 7"x2" dildos (and even something longer) all the way down to the base, like I've seen people doing in videos, I just need to work out how to do it.

I'd greatly appreciate any advice that anyone can give me. I know we have some experts out there in Eden, as I've enjoyed watching your video reviews on some of the larger toys.

Thanks.
