An Introduction to the Butt Plug

Butt plugs are used by men, women and people of all sexual orientations to derive extra sexual pleasure. The butt or anal plug is smaller than the dildo and designed specifically to be inserted into the anus and rectum. To prevent the butt plug from being lost in the rectum they have been designed with a flared end.

When using a butt plug it is advisable to use a condom this way should it come into contact with any feces it can be easily and hygienically cleaned. Don't share your butt plug with anyone as there is a risk of transferring blood-borne diseases such as HIV and it is best to use the butt plug only for where it's designed, the anus and rectum.

As with dildos butt plugs come in many shapes, colors and sizes. They are also made from a variety of materials such as latex (the most common) stone, glass, metal, wood, neoprene and silicone. There are vibrating butt plugs, inflating butt plugs, ones that squirt water (ejaculate) into the rectum.

Should you like to indulge in animal fantasy play then you can even buy butt plugs made with long hair that simulate animal tails.

A butt plug can be used in a variety of ways. They can be moved in or out (ribbed ones are particularly good for this) or you can wear one continuously for long periods of time. The choice is yours.

But, if this is your first time with butt plugs start small. You can purchase butt plugs that are the size of a slim finger which is adequate for starters. Or you may wish to start with jelly rubber plugs as they are more pliable.

There is a risk that should you hold the anal sphincter open for really lengthy periods you could decrease the elasticity of the sphincter muscles. Losing muscle tone in this area can result in fecal incontinence.

For safe and fun play with butt plugs follow the following......

Start with a small butt plug and only change to a more challenging one when you are ready.

Use plenty of lubricant so that the butt plug can be inserted easily but not too much or it will keep slipping.

Before inserting the butt plug use your lubricated fingers to stroke and stretch your anus. This will stretch the sphincter muscles ready for the plug.

When inserting the plug, bear down as if you are having a bowel movement.

Take your time. Push slowly with steady pressure until the anal plug pops into position.

If your butt plug is curved angle it towards the belly button when inserting. The curved but plugs are made to stimulate the G-spot in females and to stimulate the prostate gland in guys.

When you have finished playing bear down with your anal muscles again and push the plug out. If you have to pull as well do it steadily.
