I got a chance to try out my Helix Trident. Here are some of my thoughts from this first experience.
My first impression upon unboxing my Helix Trident was that it was a LOT smaller than I was expecting. I bought the Helix because it was described as having a “Larger head size for more direct pressure on the prostate.” I was expecting something, well, larger. I guess I had no real frame of reference. I admit to being skeptical that I’d really feel much of anything from something so seemingly diminutive. It’s certainly the smallest thing that I’ve inserted in my rear for pleasure other than my finger in a very long time.
I wasn’t sure which lube to use. I know that’s a common question and the answer varies greatly from person to person. For anal sex and for other toys, I really like the water-based variety of Boy Butter. It is a cream or lotion consistency, which I find makes application much easier. It dissolves easily in water, so cleanup is not a problem, but it also doesn’t dissipate, evaporate, or absorb into my skin as quickly as other lubes I have used. However, it also isn’t quite as slick as liquid lubes I’ve used. I find this is a good thing for other anal toys and for anal sex, where some amount of friction (the “right” amount) is actually desirable, but perhaps not for the Aneros, where free mobility is key. So I opted for Shibari silicone lube, which I prefer for my Fleshlight. It’s slicker and runnier than the Boy Butter and is probably a better fit for use with the Aneros. I may in the future try some of both, by first pre-lubing my rectum with Shibari and coating the Aneros with the Boy Butter, just for grins.
