Why Do People Use Butt Plugs?
on May 2, 2017
In a line up of sex toys, a butt plug could be pointed out by most people - they're fairly distinctive with a tapered tip to make insertion easy and a flared base that sits outside the body to stop the plug being drawn in.
Wearing a butt plug during sex, masurbation or foreplay can greatly enhance orgasms and pleasure (regardless of your sex or gender).
Read on for more, including which are the best butt plugs for first timers.
Why do penis owners use butt plugs?
It could be said that penis owners are actually wired to enjoy anal penetration. The prostate is an incredibly sensitive gland that feels especially good when stroked. The prostate is located about two to three inches up on the anterior (front) wall of the anus.
You may have heard about prostate milking, and it’s true that prostate stimulation can create intense orgasms and/or ejaculation.
Butt plugs with extended reach and ergonomic design target the prostate with deep internal massage, some even feature vibration for added stimulation.
These orgasms are said to feel more intense than orgasms from stimulation of the penis, causing the whole body to spasm with climactic energy. Yowza!
Wearing a curved butt plug or a specialist male prostate toy helps make sure you're hitting just the right spot.
The added prostate stimulation can make masturbation, receiving oral sex and penetrative sex feel incredible.
It's not just about the prostate, though. As the pelvic floor muscles begin to contract during orgasm, the anal muscles contract around the plug and make the spasms feel stronger and harder.
Orgasmic contractions around a butt plug feel more intense than without, improving the strength and duration of your climax.
Why do vagina owners use butt plugs?
Using a butt plug can make all kinds of sex feel more pleasurable for vagina owners (and their partners).
A butt plug creates more pressure on the back vaginal wall, increasing the level of sensation experienced during penetration – whether from a dildo, vibrator, or a partner.
The anus is also the 2nd highest concentration of nerve endings in the body (second only to the clitoris). Butt plugs create a pleasurable feeling of fullness in the rectum as well as pressure on the nerve-rich anal opening, which can enhance any type of stimulation to other erogenous zones in the body.
Many women also enjoy using a butt plug while receiving oral sex. At climax, orgasmic contractions around the butt plug feel more intense, and stimulate the nerve endings around the anus.
Some women use a butt plug to enhance their partner's pleasure. With a butt plug inserted, the amount of space in the pelvis is reduced and the vagina feels tighter as a result. The firmer pressure and additional texture provided by a butt plug can also makes her vagina feel.
