In the wonderful world of sexual activity there are a great many fetishes and twists, each of us having our own evolving set of experiences that make us who we are. In some ways, we are the sum of those experiences and just as no two of us are completely alike, a great many people appreciate certain types of activities, allowing for sex toys to enhance our kinky fun. Fans of BDSM have long understood that it is okay to surrender ourselves completely to a partner (or partners) as we develop a bond involving a degree of trust, the kind so many vanilla sex enthusiasts never seem to understand. For whatever reasons this is, it helps to have suitable gear to play with, from study riding crops to well made wrist restraints to a myriad of other props that allow us to express ourselves more completely, the downside being so many con artists selling crap that breaks far too easy. Thankfully, the Babeland Silicone Ball Gag was a cut above the rest I've tried out.

I don't profess to be a huge expert in the field but I've seen enough discarded toys in my time when visiting friends in their dungeons to know how "cheap" translates into "worthless" all too often. From the kind of leather you wouldn't trust on a wrist watch to metal handcuffs even a guy like me can break apart without too much trouble, finding quality gear is a problem most people have faced from what I gather. This time though, the device was a nice balance between the product quality and the price, serving well without cutting corners on the materials (the ball is made of silicon to prevent STD transmission, the leather and metal used seemed like they would hold up under pressure.

The ball was 2" in diameter so it should work in most mouths well enough, the strap adjustable from 16" to just under 23" in what would fit even a head as large as mine. I've seen really ornate or handcrafted ball gags cost far more than the $40 the company was selling here, few as worthwhile for a collection and none carrying Babeland's guarantee of quality. It fit both Nadine and I just fine so now we are exploring a variety of uses for the device, the testing so far amounting to a fun manner in compliance that limits nagging or complaints, just remember to establish safeguards so you don't go overboard. With that, I rate this one as Recommended and hope to see fellow writer Crazy Slutty come over so Nadine and I can use it on her for a few days but the company described it like this: "If you've ever wanted to bite down on something in the throes of ecstasy, give the Aslan Silicone Ball Gag a try. The soft garment leather strap is adjustable from 16" to 23", so you'll be sure to get a snug, comfy fit; meanwhile, the stainless steel D-rings on either side of the gag allow for the piece to fit closely against the face without chafing. Best of all, the silicone ball is removable, so you can boil it for disinfection. Perfect for exploring kink and power play."
