What's a Butt Plug?
A Butt plug is a sex toy specially designed to fit, and stay, in your ass. Plugs are usually cone shaped; they start slender, then widen a little – or a lot – then taper in again and widen out to a flange or base that secures the plug and keeps it from slipping completely into your rectum.
Getting Started
To get accommodated to using a butt plug, first start with some anal lube and a finger. Use slow and gentle in-and-out probing to let the asshole get used to having something in it. Once the anal muscles have relaxed and are used to the sensations caused by penetration, insert the well-lubed butt plug. Try leaving it in place for just a few minutes at first, then try increasing the length of time in subsequent sessions. Relax and get used to it, try masturbating with it in, then work up to intercourse or other sex play while wearing the plug.
Start Small
The smallest butt plugs are about the size of a slender finger, which should be an easy fit for even the most butt-shy. Jelly rubber plugs are also a good bet for the beginner, since they have more “give.” Anal training sets are available, which include a set of increasingly larger plugs and some lube, sometimes a vibrator. The more slender a plug, however, the easier it is for it to slip out. Some of the smaller plugs are now designed with a bump or bulge in them to give the sphincter muscles something to hold on to. Other plugs are curved or crooked to better fit the contours of your inner passages and give extra prostate or G-spot stimulation. The plug should curve toward your belly button as it’s inserted.
Working up
For intermediate or more adventurous butt play you may want to try a larger plug, or one built like a stack of incrementally larger balls. You or your partner can twist, bump, or work the plug in and out for extra stimulation. Sensation intensifies as the sphincter spreads open and then clenches around the base of the plug or its undulations. Some people prefer stockier or more bulb-shaped plugs.
As your comfort with a butt plug increases, you may want to incorporate it into more of your sexual activities, or simply enjoy wearing it by itself. Some people like to keep a butt plug inserted prior to anal sex, to keep the anal muscles receptive to deeper penetration.
Extreme Butt Plugging
Of course, as you'd expect in the world of sex toys, extra-large butt plugs are available for those who desire that extra full feeling. Click here to see a huge butt plug being used.
Another type of butt plug is designed specifically to stimulate or massage a man's prostate gland. Many men have reported having hands free orgasms while using a prostate massaging sex toy. Don't believe it? Take a look at this video of an Aneros Prostate Massager in use.
