What Exactly is a Butt Plug?

a silver and chrome butt plug

This is a sex toy, shaped somewhat like a plug, that you insert into your butt during sex or masturbation.

Now you might be wondering:

Isn’t anal play a bit taboo?

Anal play may not have been something you were told about in sex ed back in high school, but there’s certainly nothing taboo about it!

A whole new world of women are discovering the joys of incorporating anal play into their sex life.

You may not have this discussion with your friends, but I have, and trust me most women are at least curious about it.

Why Would I Want to Try Anal Play, Specifically With a Butt Plug?

Your anus and entire anal area is loaded with nerves, and this can create some amazing pleasure when its stimulated.

These toys are one of the best ways to incorporate anal play into your sex life. And likely the very best way if you are playing by yourself.

How Do I Use One of These Toys?

You can incorporate these into your sex time with a partner by using it during foreplay, intercourse, or oral sex. Or of course you can play with it during your solo sex times.

Lay on your back, on your side, on your front, squat overtop of it, or use it while standing up.

Your possibilities for using a butt plug are endless.

Experiment to find the position that feels the best and gives you the most pleasure.

How Does it Actually Feel?

Because of the large amount of nerve endings in the anal area it is therefore a huge erogenous zone which will very likely bring you extreme pleasure.

Some woman find it adds a touch of awesome stimulation which throws them over the top during intercourse with a partner, or when masturbating using their hands or other toys.

Other women find anal play is what turns them on most of almost any sexual touch, and it becomes almost necessary in order for them to orgasm.

A few women even report being able to orgasm from anal stimulation alone!

You’ll never know what it does for you until you try it!

Do Men Buy Butt Plugs?

Yes, men buy these too!

No matter your gender, or sexual orientation, anal play is fun for absolutely everyone.

Some men buy them to use for their solo enjoyment, while others buy them to introduce into sex play with their partners.

What Else Do I Need to Know Before Buying?

Always, always, always use a good quality lube when using one, or engaging in any type of anal play for that matter. Find our top anal lubes here.

This area doesn’t come with natural lubricant and you certainly don’t want to create any friction or pain, so lubrication is absolutely essential to add it in.

Also, you need to relax!

It’s completely normal to feel a little strange, and possibly a bit painful, the first few times you use one. Breathing deeply and relaxing, along with all that lube, should help to make it a lot more comfortable, and pleasurable.

So, Which One is the Winner?

All of my recommendations are truly the superior choices in the butt plug category.

They are all well designed and constructed with anatomy in mind and are all able to take a woman, or man, to heights of pleasure they were unaware of.

Some women enjoy the vibration settings some butt plugs offer, while others can live without it, so that makes picking just one winner extra difficult.

Lovehoney Butt Tingler

But, if I had to choose, my top pick is the My 1st Surge Vibrating Butt Plug.

This plug is a great size, for beginners right through to experienced users, it’s made with some great materials, is molded to hit in all the right places, and yes, the many vibrating settings feel pretty darn fabulous.

And I know I like having the suction base to attach to a surface to keep my hands free to be in control of the remote, among other things.

If vibrations aren’t your thing, it’s not necessary to use them, and you can also use the base to move it around instead of suctioning it to another surface.

So, experiment away, use lots of lube, and enjoy all the new sensations you’re experiencing!
