Christian Grey’s cold, hard balls

q

In Fifty Shades Darker, Christian Grey pops Ben Wa balls in Anastasia for a night out. Is that really as pleasurable and easy as it seems?

Ben Wa balls have been used throughout history by women as pelvic floor toning devices – for better bladder control, a tighter vagina and stronger orgasms. In my opinion, Anastasia would find metal balls difficult to wear straight off the bat. They’re for more advanced users with a strong pelvic floor as they’re much harder to hold in place. In real life, the moment when she laughs would have resulted in them being pushed out and dropping on the floor with a rather unsexy clunk! The insertion by Christian concerns me; as with all sex toys, you should use lubricant – just a lick of spit would be both unpleasant and probably uncomfortable.

Lots of people gain sexual pleasure from using them, but more often than not this is a side effect of the pelvic exercises. Though the idea of having a sexy secret is also a big part of the turn on and usually one of the main reasons why someone would wear them out of the house. A beginner like Anastasia would be better starting with larger, lighter, silicone-coated balls. As your pelvic floor strengthens, you can graduate to smaller and heavier balls – the traditional metal balls are what a pelvic pro would probably use.
