Wearing a butt plug can seem super intimidating for those new to the scene. It seems super taboo to want to try anal play, even in 2022. However, it seems like more people try anal play than they want to admit – in fact, about a third of women in the United States engage in anal intercourse! This means that a lot of women are open to trying butt plugs and anal play than they want to admit. Butt plugs are such a great way to turn up the excitement in your sex life. Plus, they transverse gender, as anyone can use them, regardless of gender identity!
Butt plugs are such good anal toys – they can be arousing just to wear around the house, or while having sex! They add to the pleasure and the sensations you experience. In fact, butt plugs while having sex can enhance the vaginal feelings that you experience when having intercourse.
How safe is a butt plug?
Butt plugs are safe to use for most people. You do want to be sure you start out slow with the right size and tools to empower you to have the best pleasure possible. It is a key to always use lubricant! Lubricant is always talked about but when we say you have to use it, it’s because you absolutely must. Your anus does not make its own lubricant, so failure to use it will result in bodily injury and harm – and it definitely won’t be pleasurable! You do not want tears down there – in that area, they can become infected very easily as well.
Make sure you wash your butt plug first!
Any sex toy you use should be washed and disinfected both before and after use – this is especially true for butt plugs. No matter how clean your anus is, it still harbors bacteria, and you don’t want to risk any kind of bacterial infection or sexually transmitted infections. We really reccommend both you and your partner having your own sex toys, and not to share them without using a condom or heavily disinfecting them first. Any sex toy should be washed and disinfected before and after use.
Don’t buy too big!
Butt plugs come in so many shapes, sizes, and colours. However, you definitely want to pick the right size for you. Beginners to butt plugs should go for a smaller butt plug to begin with, as you don’t want to be in pain or discomfort. You can always try bigger when you get used to it!
When to avoid butt plugs
If you have hemmorhoids, prostate problems, anal fissures, or tear easily down there, it is important to avoid butt plugs. At the minimum, talk to your doctor first.
How to Use a Butt Plug Properly
When you’re trying something new, it’s important to take it slow – this is especially true for butt plugs. One key note to anal play, whether anal sex or butt plugs, is to be relaxed! If you are tense, your anus will tear easily, and you really want to avoid that. In fact, one easy way to start playing with anal toys is to have sex first, and then try a finger in the anus. Use a lot of lube, start slow, and insert gently. It’s an easy way to prepare yourself for this new sensation, and most people are relaxed after an orgasm, making it the perfect time to try.
What does using a butt plug feel like?
When you use a butt plug, you’ll notice a tighter feeling, or pressure. It can actually increase the sensation in your vaginal canal, which is why some people enjoy using it during vaginal intercourse as well. Plius, butt plugs are great for men who have prostate issues, as prostate stimulation can easily be done with a vibrating butt plug.
Why is a butt plug pleasurable?
Butt plugs give pleasure because there are so many nerve endings in the anus! This stimulation can cause a lot of pleasure, and that in turn can help you orgasm. In fact, did you know that when you orgasm, your anus clenches? That’s why dual stimulation can really make your orgasm that much more intense. Anal play and butt plugs don’t have to be painful. In fact, it shouldn’t be painful at all! Butt plugs can be a great way to spice up your sex life.
