People of all genders
and sexual orientations may use butt plugs. Butt plugs
(or anal plugs) are sex toys designed to be inserted
in the anus and rectum for sexual pleasure. In some
ways, they are similar to a dildo, but they tend to
be shorter, and to have a flared end to prevent the
device from being lost inside the rectum. (Many dildos
lack a flared end, and thus it is ill-advised to use
such dildos anally, since they may get stuck, requiring
medical extraction.)
Butt plugs come in a variety of colours,
shapes, sizes, and textures. Some are designed to look
like penises, while some are ribbed or wavy. The majority,
however, shaped as shown in the picture above, with
a thin tip, which is wider in the middle, a notch to
hold it in place once it is inserted, and a flared base
to prevent complete insertion into the rectum. Some
plugs are designed (long, flexible and curved) to penetrate
the sigmoid colon.
Butt plugs are made of a variety of
materials, the most common being latex. Other materials
used include silicone, neoprene, wood, metal, glass,
stone, and many other materials. Silicone is a particularly
good material, as it can be disinfected in boiling water.
There are butt plugs that "ejaculate"
by squirting water or other viscous fluids into the
rectum. There are also vibrating butt plugs, and butt
plugs that can inflate and expand. Some butt plugs are
specifically designed for men and stimulate the prostate.
Other butt plugs are manufactured with long hair or
simulated animal tails attached to the base for use
in human pony play or other animal fantasy role play.
Butt plugs can be moved in or out
for pleasure; for this type of activity ribbed butt
plugs can increase pleasure. They can also be worn continuously
(or be lockable) for long periods of time.
Here's how to prepare yourself for
anal sex. First, relax and rub a water-based or warming
lube on your hands, and massage the area around your
anus. This prepares your anus for entry. Rub copious
amounts of lube on the butt plug.
When your anus feels soft and pliable,
gently insert the butt plug a little at a time. There
is no need to rush. The lube should help ease the butt
plug into its proper place. As the butt plug enters
you, your sphincter muscles will tighten around it,
arousing you sexually. Once it's in, it should remain
in place without you needing to hold it. However, you
may want to twist it or move it in and out because that
will feel great, and it's sexually exciting.
Once you are finished, slowly remove
the butt plug and wash it thoroughly. If you wish to
share your butt plug, make sure you clean it thoroughly,
including cleaning it with a sex toys cleaner. Store
it in a cool, dry place.
Butt plugs make anal sex all the more
enjoyable. You can use a butt plug alone or with a partner.
Insert the butt plug as deeply as you like. Do what
feels comfortable for you. Anal stimulation can be very
exciting, and a butt plug may be just what you need
to ramp up your sex life. |
