Feel Butt-tastic with this Guide on How to Use Butt Plugs

This one is for the one’s who prefer the round, juicy derriere! In recent years, there’s a particular type of sex toy that’s become increasingly popular amongst singles and couples alike. Nope, it’s not the classic dildo nor the ever effective vibrator. It’s something that gives a lot of love to your cushy behind: a butt plug! Although these babies have gotten a bad rep (undeservingly so), they can actually be safe and enjoyable for people who wish to have them a part of their sexual lives. So, if you’re one of these people, then allow us to guide you in the exploration of butt plugs: their basics, their use and their safety conditions. Read along!

Let’s start with the basics first! According to Healthline, a butt plug is a type of sex toy that is designed for anal play. It’s easy to differentiate them from the rest because of its bulbous head, narrow neck and a flared bottom to prevent it from getting stuck inside the body – or anus, to be more specific. Despite its specific shape, it does come in a variety of shapes, sizes and materials such as: silicone, glass or metal! Having a hard time painting the entire picture yet? Here’s an amazing example: The Doro Plus is a remote-controlled vibrating anal plug that carries the features of a classic butt plug but with added benefits such as it’s remote control – giving you more flexibility in terms of where to hold it, or how far if you’re using this with a partner. It is also vibrating which can serve as added stimulation inside of the anus, giving you a more intense yet addicting sensation from the rear-end.

Before you get too excited! Remember that you’re playing with the anus here which is a part of the body that is as sensitive as your vagina or penis so it should be treated with the same amount of care and caution! Start by assessing your overall sexual experience: is this your first time? Maybe you’ve tried playing with your anus before with your fingers? It’s important to place yourself within this spectrum of expertise as it will guide you into figuring out what size of anal plugs you would need. For example, if you’re a beginner, then starting with a small one won’t hurt. On the other hand, if you’re in a more confident place, then getting a bigger one would be more suitable for your needs! Just make sure they’re made with body-safe and non-porous materials to avoid bacteria infecting the toy and your body!

With the basics done, how do you use the butt plug itself? Well, according to Allure, you can use the small but powerful toy through the following steps:

1. Understand that butt plugs work by providing pressure and stimulation to the anus and the surrounding area, which leads to a few things such as the muscles getting loose, then getting more sensitive which ultimately ends up giving you more intense orgasms.
2. Engage in foreplay! Pleasure isn’t just about the main show, it’s also about the things you do beforehand! So touch yourself or have your partner do so around the neck, shoulders or chest, for example! Identify those erogenous zones and give it some love!
3. Lube up! This might look unnecessary especially if you’re really horny but making sure that you’re slicked up will significantly increase your chance of avoiding injury! Remember, the anus is a sensitive area therefore more susceptible to getting hurt! You could even start by lubing up your fingers first and inserting them inside too! This serves as a smaller stepping stone towards the real deal and lessens your anxiety when leading up to it!
4. Put the plug in! Take your slicked-up butt plug, get into your favorite position (missionary or doggy, there’s no judgment!) and insert it slowly but surely! Take deep breaths as well to keep you relaxed so you don’t have to contract your anal muscles unnecessarily!
5. Enjoy! This is your experience so you should make it yours! Take your time to explore and find what feels good!

Now that you’ve got the basics down and know how to use a butt plug, it’s still not the end of the road yet because you still need to keep a few things in mind to make sure your experience is as safe as possible:

1. Start small. As aforementioned, it’s important to work your way up the sizes to prevent discomfort and injury and increase chances of enjoying the experience of being filled up from behind.
2. Lube, lube and lube!! Unlike the vagina, for example, the anus doesn’t produce lubrication which means you have to add plenty of it to avoid discomfort and injury as well. We don’t want you pushing in with the hope to feel good, only to take it out because it hurt you. On an added note, make sure the lube is compatible too! For example, silicone-based lubes are perfect for silicone-based toys.
3. Choose ones made with body-safe and non-porous materials! It won’t hurt to say it again but ensuring the butt plug is made up of these specific materials will keep your body safe and easy to clean because it doesn’t allow bacteria to seep in and cause damage to the toy and your body.
4. Clean your butt plug after every use! The same concept as above, keeping this toy clean with warm water and mild soap or a special sex toy cleaner will prevent your toy from accumulating bacteria and prevent it from wearing out faster.

To wrap things up, butt plugs can be a fun yet safe addition to your sex life. Just make sure to do your research, get answers to all your questions and mentally prepare yourself before diving in to some good anal play. Upon doing so, you can enjoy all the benefits without getting scared that you might hurt yourself.

When using this with a partner, remember to communicate with honesty and openness to ensure that your sexual needs are aligned and prevent either of your getting the short stick of the deal. Also place safety and comfort as priority as these play a huge role in consenting to engage in using butt plugs.

Despite us talking about how good an butt plug will be in your life, it’s also important for us to share that not everyone will like having it as part of their sex lives – and that’s okay! Each and every one of us have our own preferences and way of doing things, even in the bedroom, and it’s important to respect hat boundary and find another common ground to stand on (or say, fuck on)

Overall, butt plugs can open doors to new sensations that can enhance your sexual experiences. With a little bit of education and preparation, you can safely and confidently incorporate this versatile sex toy into your playtime.
