Correct Ways to Use Your Butt Plugs

A butt plug, also known as an anal plug, posterior plug, anal toy, or anal play toy, is inserted into the anus for various purposes. The anal muscles are delicate and sensitive, and since it is also the place where feces pass through, it is essential to take precautions when buying or using a butt plug to avoid injury. In this article, I will share the methods of using a butt plug, the steps involved, and some important considerations.

Why do butt plugs exist?

A butt plug is a product designed to be inserted into the anus, usually with a flared base at the bottom for easy handling and retrieval. It is crucial for a butt plug to have a handle because if it is a simple cylindrical shape without a base, it can easily get stuck inside the anus, which may require medical assistance to remove. Butt plugs were initially used for medical purposes and later gained popularity as sexual toys. Why? The anus contains many sensitive nerve endings, and through anal sex or using a butt plug, men can experience prostate stimulation, and some women can achieve A-spot or G-spot orgasms. Butt plugs can also be seen as a tool to help prepare the anus for anal sex, allowing it to adapt to the sensation of being penetrated before the insertion of an actual penis.

Four Precautions for Using a Butt Plug

Precaution 1: Clean the butt plug

All items have the potential to harbor bacteria and microorganisms on their surfaces, so it is important to clean the butt plug with water before use and apply a specialized cleaning product designed for sex toys.

Precaution 2: Eat lightly

When playing with a butt plug, it can be embarrassing to insert a clean toy and have feces on it when removing it or to experience an upset stomach during play. To avoid such awkward situations, it is advisable to consume a light diet and avoid high-fiber foods a few days before engaging in anal sex or using a butt plug to prevent the risk of diarrhea.

Precaution 3: Clean the anus

Before playing with a butt plug, in addition to thoroughly washing the body, trimming nails, and washing hands, it is crucial to clean the anus since it is teeming with bacteria and viruses. Therefore, it is necessary to use specialized anal cleansing products to ensure cleanliness and minimize any potential risks.

Precaution 4: Use lubricant

During sexual intercourse, the vagina naturally produces lubrication to facilitate penetration, but the anus does not have the same self-lubricating function. Therefore, when using a butt plug, it is essential to use a generous amount of lubricant. Specifically, it is recommended to use a lubricant designed for anal use, as it contains ingredients that reduce discomfort during insertion and provide superior lubrication compared to regular vaginal lubricants.

Steps for Using a Butt Plug

The anal muscles are fragile, and for safety purposes, it is recommended to choose a butt plug with a smooth, rounded surface to minimize potential damage to the muscles inside the anus. Before inserting the butt plug, it is advisable to spray a relaxant specifically designed for the anus to the rectal area to help relax the anal muscles and reduce any discomfort during the insertion process. When inserting the butt plug, it is crucial to keep the anal muscles relaxed and slowly insert the plug. It is important not to force it in abruptly. During the process, the receiving party may experience a sensation similar to needing to have a bowel movement, which is normal.

Storage of Butt Plugs

After using a butt plug, it should be cleaned and dried thoroughly. Then, it should be sprayed with a specialized sex toy cleaning spray and stored in a dry place. Additionally, for safety reasons, it is important to wash the butt plug before each use, as it may have accumulated bacteria, microorganisms, or small insects while being stored.

Using a Butt Plug with a Tail Does Not Equal Anal Sex

There are many cosplay accessories on the market that require inserting them into the anus, such as commonly seen fox tails (where the other end is actually a butt plug). However, thinking that using a butt plug with a tail automatically implies engaging in anal sex is completely incorrect. Anal sex involves back and forth thrusting movements, whereas inserting a tail is a separate action. Remember: "Using a butt plug does not mean engaging in anal sex."

Frequently Asked Questions about Butt Plug Use

Q: Can anal toys cause incontinence? A: The ability to hold in stool when experiencing an urgent need to defecate is due to conscious control over the external anal sphincter. As long as the external anal sphincter functions properly, and with the determination to control it consciously, stool cannot pass through the anus. Incontinence is caused by problems with the function of the external anal sphincter, which can have various causes, and incorrect use of a butt plug is one of the contributing factors.

Q: Can a posterior plug be shared? A: No, sharing a butt plug is not recommended because the anus is a place filled with bacteria, and sharing it means exchanging bacteria. Additionally, it is crucial to mention that a butt plug should never be removed from the anus and inserted directly into the vagina, as it can lead to vaginal infections.

Q: How long can a butt plug be used at a time? A: It is not recommended to use a butt plug for more than three hours at a time.
