Butt Plugs and How to Use Them for Anal sex Play

Anal toys, and in particular butt plugs, are some of the most popular sex toys, and are in fact becoming a favourite here at The Online Sex Place. Traditionally enjoyed by the the gay and lesbian community and fetish seekers, butt plugs are becoming more mainstream. They have quite a wide array of uses as anal sex toys. As a male with a prostate, a butt plug can stimulate your male g-spot. As a woman with a vagina a but plug can create a pleasurable sensation on the back wall of the vagina. Butt plugs can also be used as anal training devices, which temporarily stretch the anus and anal canal so that larger things can be inserted more pleasurably. Whatever you reason for diving into the wonderful world of but plug and anal play, there are few things you should know about these little (and large!) products for safety, comfort and the anal experience.

What are butt plugs?

Butt plugs, as the name suggest do exactly what you would imagine, they are a plug up your butt! The main purpose of a butt plug is to make the wearer feel great. Your ass can be a wonderful source of pleasure. Some people use butt plugs for anal sex preparation or training. However, unlike the vagina, the rectum doesn't produce its own lubrication, so it's very important to prepare your but plug with lots of lube and smaller objects, like fingers and butt plugs, prior to anal sex with a penis or a strap-on sex toy.

Butt Plug Shapes & Sizes

Butt plugs are cleverly shaped for their particular purpose. Butt plugs come in a wide range of different shapes and sizes and generally have narrow tapered tips that get progressively wider toward the middle and then narrow again, down to a slim and sleek neck at the base. This is so that your anus and rectum can sit comfortably with them inserted inside you. The rectum acts like a vacuum and sucks objects inside, which is why but plugs are generally made with a tapered and flared bottom, often with a pull cord, or a ring to prevent plugs from getting lost inside you! 

Before purchasing a butt plug

Make sure you check if your toy is made from body safe materials. Anything that's silicone, glass, or stainless steel is safe. We suggest that butt plug beginners select silicone over glass or steel, as silicone is very soft and and is easier to insert into the anus. All of these materials are nonporous, which makes them easy to cleaned after use. The main advise is to start small! In fact, you should pick one that looks ludicrously small and go with that for the first time!

Try wearing a butt plug during vaginal sex with a penis or dildo. Many women testify that the best sex they ever had is vaginal sex, with a butt plug, while simultaneously stimulating the clitoris with a vibrator. Many people also admit that they love receiving oral while they have a butt plug in. Butt plugs can also a great masturbation companion. Masturbation sex can be a lovely way to explore anal play. Basically, anal pleasure with a butt plug is something everybody can enjoy.

Anal Lube

Remember, the anus does not produce its own natural lubricate. If sharing butt plug with multiple partners, always practice safe sex by putting a condom on it and using a non-oil-based lube before each use. Oil-based lubricants, including the popular options like coconut oil, break down latex, while water based lube and silicone based lubricants are safe with condoms. Silicone lubricants are great for anal play, as they're are ultra slippery and last longer than water-based lubricants. However, silicone breaks down silicone. If you're using a silicone toy, grab a water-based lube. Glass and stainless steel butt plugs work well with any lubricant.
