ANME Show Has Attendees Buzzing About New Offerings

BURBANK, Calif.—While new products are always the highlight of every pleasure product trade show, a few specific items and collections really had people buzzing at the most recent ANME Founders Show, which continues today in Burbank, Calif. One of the most talked-about items was the Buck-Off, a new stroker designed specifically for FTM transsexuals created by AVN Hall of Fame adult performer Buck Angel and Florida-based men’s sexual health products company Perfect Fit Brand. “I had the idea for this product years ago,” Angel told AVN. “I have heard from so many FTM people about how they have a hard time connecting sexually with their bodies while transitioning. I never had bottom surgery, and when I learned to connect with my vagina and learned how to love it, it changed my life for the better in so many ways. I have so many men like me tell me they can’t connect sexually with their bodies, or they don’t even want to touch their vaginas, and that makes me so sad.” The Buck-Off is a soft silicone stroker that is shorter in length and narrower in girth so it can be more easily used by FTM, a group of people who often see their clitorises grow in size while they take testosterone. The flat, flared base creates a suction cup-like effect and the inside is textured with soft ridges that mimic the feel of a tongue, Angel said.  “The way Perfect Fit made this is incredible,” he said. “It really feels like you are getting a blowjob.” The Buck-Off can be stroked or just squeezed tightly, whichever the user prefers. The base also helps to stimulate the pubis, which can also lead to orgasm. “I know this is a small market to target, and I am not in this for the money,” Angel said. “I am, though, all about education. And if I can help someone else connect with their bodies and have a wonderful sexual experience, then it’s all worth it.” Sportsheets also had crowds gathering at their booth in the main room as reps showed off the new Midnight by Sportsheets collection. Each item in the collection falls in line with Sportsheets’ commitment to quality for BDSM items, but these versions are just as beautiful as they are functional. “This line is very blinged out,” said Joanne Queenin, executive administrator. “Some of the items are to be treated like jewelry just as much as a BDSM item.” A subset of the collection features nipple clamps, some adorned with double rows of pearls and others with clear sparkling gems.  Several pieces in the line—the Lace Paddle, Lace Crop, Lace Cuffs, Lace Blindfold and more—feature a fabric that has the look of lace, but the pattern is printed directly on it, so there is no fear of snagging or ripping, Queenin noted. Every item also features extra details Sportsheets is known for: double elastic straps on the Lace Blindfold, finished edges on the paddle and crop, a 30-inch heavy chain on the Lace Collar and Leash and more. The new collection is expected to start shipping by fall. In the Jimmyjane booth, visitors were treated to a first look at the new Ascend line under the manufacturer’s Live Sexy banner. Another range of mid-tier vibrators, the Ascend collection debuts with four SKUs: The Ascend 1, a lay-on style massager that has a notch at the tip that can hug the clitoris; Ascend 2, which looks like the popular Form 2 vibrator with longer “ears”; Ascend 4, a massager that resembles a hand-held dumbbell that makes it suitable for external stimulation; and Ascend 8, which features two egg-shaped massagers at either end of a flexible silicone strand. Sir Richard’s Condoms—which falls under the Diamond Products family of manufacturers with Jimmyjane and Pipedream Products—debuted the Element line.The collection marks the move by the condom company into creating pleasure devices and more for men. The first products in the line are the Element MS (masturbation sleeve), the Element PM (prostate massager) and the Element CR (cock ring). Other standouts at the B2B trade show included the introduction of a glass bottle with a pump for Liquid’s Silver lubricant; the debut of the Rhythm by Kama Sutra: the lotions and potions manufacturer’s foray into sex toys that features five SKUs of pleasure products made from silicone and boasting powerful motors; and Impulse Novelties’ release of the Sofia Duo G, a manager that can bend to stimulate the G-spot and clitoris at the same time. The ANME Founders Show continues through today. Pictured, Buck Angel and the Buck-Off, new from Perfect Fit Brands; nipple clamps from Sportsheets' new Midnight collection; Jimmyjane's Ascend 4.
