Last month, at the Adult Novelty Manufacturers Expo in Burbank, CA, adult entertainment icon and LGBTQ rights activist Buck Angel and Florida-based men’s sexual health products company Perfect Fit Brand unveiled the Buck-Off™, the first ever sex toy created specifically for FTM (Female-To-Male) trans men.

Industry publication Adult Video News called the Buck-Off™ “one of the most talked-about” new products at the annual trade show. The Buck-Off™ can be pre-ordered at www.perfectfitbrand.com and will ship September 15.

“This is something I have been working on for years,” says Angel. “I approached many companies within the adult world, only to be told ‘there is no market.’ It’s been frustrating,” he says. “I have talked with so many FTM people about how they have a hard time connecting sexually with their bodies while transitioning. I never had bottom surgery,” Angel explains, “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. So many men like me have told me that they can’t connect sexually with their bodies, or they don’t even want to touch their vaginas, and that makes me so sad.”

Engineered for FTM trans men who often see their clitorises grow in size as the result of testosterone therapy, the revolutionary Buck-Off™ was designed using Angel’s vision for how it should feel and fit. Made from ultra-soft SilaSkin™ (Perfect Fit’s proprietary blend of TPR and Silicone), its flat, flared base creates a suction cup-like effect and the inside is textured with soft ridges, designed to mimic the feel of a tongue. 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. “The way Perfect Fit engineered this is amazing! It really feels like you are getting a blowjob,” says Angel.

“All of this came about because of my good friend Jen Laws,” explains Angel. “He works at Perfect Fit and he introduced me to their CEO, Steve Callow, and it was pretty much on from there.”

“Buck and I have the same values when it comes to caring and servicing of the LGBT community; we both want to help people,” says Perfect Fit CEO, Callow. “Buck brought us an exciting opportunity to make the first sex toy specifically for the FTM trans community. Our philosophy has always been to make products to enhance the sexual experience. Buck believes this toy will help reduce gender dysphoria by encouraging trans men explore their bodies and be more confident in their sexuality. That’s all we needed to hear, and we are very proud to be associated with Buck on this project.”

“Steve was so amazing, and saw my vision right from the start,” says Angel. “It means so much to me to be working with a company which not only cares about making a quality, truly functional product, but understands and cares to support my community and be an ally.” ­

“Learning how to love my body sexually was a game-changer for me; it enabled me to become the confident man I am today. I believe sex is a big part of the transition process–finding and exploring your new body can be challenging. Steve saw this as an important product, not only for the pleasure products world, but also because it acknowledges that trans men are valued enough to have their own adult toy.”

“I know this is a small market to target, and I am not in this for the money,” Angel says. “However, am 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.”
