For those new to toys, and seasoned kinksters alike, the thought of introducing anal toys can be daunting. Too many times have I heard the phrase “exit only” in regards to discussions about buttplugs, and men and women who are considering the idea of anal play can be easily and understandably put off by the horror stories of toys going missing and embarrassing A and E visits.
So why even attempt anal?
Quite simply because anal toys, and butt plugs in particular, are quite literally designed to suit the body of the wearer. They stimulate the prostate or create amazing pressure on the back vaginal wall depending on your anatomy. The anus is full of nerve endings, so any stimulation will result in a new and enjoyable feeling as you explore new sexual territory either alone or with a partner.
What is a butt plug?
A butt plug is a flared plug design with a narrow tip, getting progressively wider then narrow again, ending in a flared base (this base design helps prevent the plug from “getting lost”.) They come in a variety of sizes so don’t get overwhelmed- the smaller starter plugs can be the width of your little finger. When purchasing your own, start as small as you can. You can always work your way up but you don’t want to be disappointed by buying a toy too big to be comfortably used.
How can they be used?
The beauty of a butt plug is it can be worn for as long or short a time as you please. Some people will use them for a few hours as anal sex preparation, with others wearing them on a near full time basis throughout the day for the enjoyable feeling of fullness they provide. They can be worn during sex (if you have a vagina, you can experience double penetration this way with vaginal intercourse simultaneously) or for masturbation and solo play. Once you get used to the feeling, butt plugs can be one of the most versatile and fun toys to integrate into and spice up your regular sex life.
Alright I’m sold. What now?
Lube, lube, and more lube. Unlike the vagina, the anus doesn't come with its own lubrication which is why purchasing a good quality lubricant is so important for all things anal. We recommend SPIT SUPERIOR SILICONE LUBE, but as always remember that silicone lube is not compatible with silicone material toys. A good water-based lube will also work, or there are a variety of anal relaxing lubes on the market for an even more comfortable foray into the world of anal stimulation.
