Kickstarter clutches its pearls.

Back in 2019 we covered the censorship that was hurting the sex toy industry. One of the offenders was Kickstarter, which later changed its ways and became more welcoming. But it seems like the company has regressed. “Sexual pleasure” is now a banned concept for rewards, though Kickstarter says pleasure might be fine as long as the product is not designed for “insertion or penetration.” I want to know what’s going on over at Kickstarter HQ but I fear nobody is having fun.

      I know that there’s the occasional spicy comic or photoshoot, and I think I recently came across a kind of squishy ball you could insert rectally to make anal sex less messy. So there was some stuff at least.

        I saw an interview with the founders not too long ago. It’s golf ball sized, soft/firm thing and it’s designed to be pushed in. I’ll leave the details out, but it is engineered to dissolve after a few hours. It’s meant as a way to bypass douching prior to the act.

        Found the YT link. It’s 30 minutes of education and entertainment.

        A ball? 2 things internet has thought me…

        1. Never put a finger on the trigger if you’re not going to kill someone
        2. Never put anything without a solid base in your rectum.

          The jar was pretty solid. Don’t recommend it though.

          I’ve seen people push out billiard balls and whole apples out of their backend. These were of course trained professionals, but a small ball that turns soft wouldn’t be much of a problem.

          The idea apparently was that the warmth of the rectum makes the ball very squishy again, allowing you to easily push it out again.

          That hole already serves the function of pushing out squishy things though.
