Basically a butt plug is a dildo or vibrator that has a flared base so
it won't slip into the rectum. You really must be careful with anything
put into the anus, or you run the risk of becoming a story told by emergency
room staff over coffee. They are flared at the bottom so they will stay
in place and not slip out of the butt.
Some plugs are ripple shaped so that as you become more aroused you can
take more of the plug. Some are cork screw shaped, some are shaped like
a string of beads, to give more anal stimulation as they are pushed in
and out of the anus. A standard butt plug is designed to be left in place
in the anus rather than being stroked in and out like a vibrator or vaginal/anal
dong. Most plugs are also much shorter and wider than traditional vibrators
or dongs.
A true butt plug is great for giving your partner of yourself a feeling
of fullness in the anus. Some women love the feeling of having their butt
filled with a plug while they are receiving vaginal intercourse, or oral
sex. Some men love the feeling of fullness in their butt while receiving
oral sex or while having intercourse. Anal stimulation coupled with another
facet of sexual stimulation can add great pleasure to your lovemaking.
For some extra excitement, you can wear a plug under your clothing. Imagine
the look on your partners face after undressing you in a public place
and finding a plug already inserted! Many people wear butt plugs during
their everyday activities. You may find this pleasing and exciting since
only you will know about your secret.
Plugs come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Some people like to start
out with the small ones and move up gradually to the larger varieties.
A set of plugs used with thought and care are a great way to introduce
a partner to anal sex gradually and safely.
Some thought must go into using any anal instrument. The internal sphincter
is a voluntary muscle that will tense and try to keep out anything inserted.
With time and patience you can learn to gain control of this muscle, but
until then you must go slow and use caution and communication. The anus
and rectum do not produce any natural lubrication, so you must liberally
apply lubrication to a plug before inserting it. Try to stay away from
lubricants containing nonoxynol-9 since they are a well know irritant
to the delicate rectal tissues.
Use common sense, anything that goes into your rectum should be smooth
and free from scratchy edges. Also make sure that there is no way for
you to lose the toys inserted in the anus. If you do happen to allow a
toy to slip into the anus, you can usually retrieve it by relaxing and
letting it exit the way it came in. However, the rectum in about 9 inches,
after that the colon begins, if a toy is lost to the colon, surgical intervention
will be necessary to remove it.
Communicate with your partner as much as possible. Tell each other what
feels good and go slow. Anal play can be extremely enjoyable with a partner
if there is mutual trust sufficient to create a relaxing and enjoyable
anal experience.
A vast variety of butt plugs are available from the "regular"
plug, to a vibrating or specialty plug. Plugs come in a variety of shapes
and sizes, as well as materials, and colors. Jelly plugs look as great
as they feel and come in a variety of colors. Some plugs are specially
shaped to fit the contour of the rectum and allow greater stimulation.
Try experimenting with a few to see what you like and then go from there.
Once you become familiar and comfortable with butt plugs you can add to
your collection to fit your sexual moods. Sometimes you may just want
a fullness in your butt, while other times you may wish to feel pleasant
vibrations, the choices are up to you.
