Butt plugs are a great way to stimulate the prostate and give people with penises or vulvas an extra way to play. They can be inserted into the anus, or into the rectum – and a lot of people find the sensation of prostate stimulation via their rectum to be pleasurable. There are many different kinds of butt plugs, which are made from a wide variety of materials – from glass to metal to jelly. Some have pretty gemstones or diamonds at the base for an added sexy touch, and others are plain, to let you focus on your own personal pleasure.
When a butt plug is first inserted, it might feel like nothing at all, or just a little pressure that makes your anus feel a bit more full or solid. The key is to use lots of lube and be patient. Once your sphincter muscles are fully relaxed, the rest of the experience is up to you.
If you’re new to butt plugs, start by rubbing your anus with your finger to get your sphincter muscles to loosen up. Then, if you have one (or two) of your own butt plugs that are the right size for you, slather them with lube and begin to slide them in. Experiment with a few different positions to see what feels best for you – every anus is different!
Remember to always use a good amount of lube when you’re playing with your butt plugs. You’ll need plenty of lube because your anus doesn’t self-lubricate like the vagina. It’s a good idea to warm the lube up a little beforehand too, as it can be cold against the skin.
