COTR has released new clinician-reviewed educational guides through its b-Vibe Anal Academy platform. These new resources address anal training, toy selection, and prostate play, with each guide reviewed by members of b-Vibe’s Expert Advisory Board.

New Educational Resources from b-Vibe Anal Academy

On November 2, 2026, COTR announced the release of new educational guides via its b-Vibe Anal Academy. These guides have been reviewed by licensed clinicians and certified sex therapists who are part of b-Vibe’s Expert Advisory Board, including Dr. Alix Agar and Dr. Shannon Chavez.

The new resources are designed to provide guidance on anal training, choosing appropriate toys, and prostate play. Alicia Sinclair, founder and CEO of COTR, stated that people are actively seeking trustworthy guidance, noting that much of the available information is either incomplete or "loaded with shame." Sinclair indicated that the new guides offer "clear, evidence-informed starting points" to help individuals make decisions about their bodies and pleasure.

The updated anal training guides are structured to assist beginners by detailing foundational steps, safety considerations, and methods for progressing at an individual's own pace. These guides are accessible at bVibe.com/anal-training.
