Anal hook

Definition
An anal hook is a metal BDSM toy that is partially inserted into the anus and has a round or curved hook shape on the outside with an attachment point for rope or chain. The hook is used in bondage, role play, or visual domination, where the feeling of control, tension, and surrender is central.

Explanation of anal hook

The anal hook – often made of stainless steel – usually has a spherical or bullet-shaped end that is inserted into the anus. The other end forms a curved hook that protrudes upwards or backwards and can be used to attach a rope, carabiner, or chain. This allows the hook to be used in bondage constructions where, for example, the head, neck, or wrists are placed under slight tension.

The anal hook originated as a medical instrument, but within BDSM it has developed into a popular toy due to its combination of physical stimulation and visual intensity. The shiny metal hook, tightly stretched ropes, and controlled posture evoke a feeling of absolute surrender.

There are different variants:

  • Single hook: with one ball at the end.
  • Double hook: with two balls of different sizes.
  • Mounting hook: with a ring or eye at the top for rope, chain, or pulley.

Some Dominants use the anal hook not only as a penetration instrument, but also as a visual statement: a symbol of ownership, power, and aesthetics within the game.

Safety & points of attention

Only use stainless steel and clean the toy thoroughly with a disinfectant before and after use.

Always use a generous amount of water-based lubricant to prevent damage to the mucous membrane.

Insert the hook slowly and pay close attention to the natural curvature of the body. Never force it.

The hook should not be used for intense movements or jerks; this can lead to internal injuries.

When the hook is attached to the neck, wrists, or ropes, keep the tension to a minimum and constantly check the sub’s breathing and body posture.

The anal hook is not a toy for beginners. Only experienced players or couples with knowledge of anatomy and safety should use it.

Afterwards, check for irritation or wounds and give the body time to relax.

The power of the anal hook lies in its refinement: it is not an instrument of pain, but of tension, beauty, and complete control within safe limits.
