Why use an anal plug? Sensations, prostate and couple play

The anal plug can easily be recognized at its progressive tip, its wider body and then its narrow neck connected to a flared base. This base is essential: it prevents the toy from slipping entirely into the rectum.

Both men and women can enjoy a plug during masturbation, foreplay or sexual intercourse.

Why do men use plugs?

In humans, some curved plugs or prostatic massagers exert pressure on the anterior wall of the rectum, behind which is the prostate.

Stimulation can produce a deep pressure feeling, complete penis masturbation and, in some people, participate in a different orgasm. The sensations vary a lot and there is no guarantee of having a «prostatic orgasm».

The presence of the plug can also make the contractions of the pelvic floor more noticeable at the time of orgasm.

Why do women use plugs?

The plug stimulates the many nerve endings around the anus and provides a feeling of filling. During vaginal penetration, the presence of a plug can also create additional pressure through the wall between the rectum and the vagina.

Some people find vaginal penetration more intense. Others simply prefer to associate the plug with clitoral or oral stimulation.

The feeling of «tighter vagina» described by some couples comes mainly from this extra pressure; The plug does not permanently transform the anatomy.

Which plug to choose to start?

Start with a small tip and a moderate diameter. A conical or drop shape facilitates progressive insertion.

Which plug to choose to start?

Soft silicone is a common choice. Glass or metal models are more rigid and require more control.

The base should remain significantly wider than the insertable part. A small narrow handle is not enough if it can pass through the anus.

Lubrication and insertion

Use a lot of lubricant, as the anus does not lubricate naturally. Apply it to the plug and around the inlet, then slowly insert while breathing.

Once the widest part has passed, the neck of the plug is placed between the muscles and the toy can remain relatively stable.

Lubrication and insertion

If you feel a severe pain, remove it. There is no need to bear any discomfort to «get used to it».

Vibrating plugs and couple play

A vibrating plug adds multiple levels of stimulation without requiring significant movement. Remote-controlled models can be controlled by a partner and add a playful aspect during the foreplay.

During a report, check regularly that the base remains accessible and that the plug does not create unpleasant pressure in the chosen position.

After use, clean the toy according to its material and let it dry completely.

An anal plug is therefore not reserved for a particular practice: it allows above all to add an internal sensation and to stimulate an area rich in nerve endings. A small size, a lot of lubricant and a really flared base are the three essential elements to start comfortably.
