WHAT IS A BUTT PLUG, AND WHAT DOES IT DO?

It is a sex toy that is used during anal sex. Some of the uses of a butt plug are; for orgasm, stretching the anus, and a fetish.

A butt plug is used when having anal sex. It is inserted through the anus. The good thing about the butt plug is that both males and females can use it. The base of the butt plug is wide to prevent it from being inserted too far into the anus. Some men prefer using the butt plug during anal sex because their g-spot is in the anal cavity. They always get a g-spot stimulation when it is used on them. It should also not be painful. Many lube has to be used because the anus does not have a natural lubricant. A butt plug has the following uses;

Stretching The Anus

A butt plug is used to stretch the anus and prepare it for bigger things like the penis or fisting. While fisting, it is difficult and painful to insert your fingers inside the butt when it is not stretched enough. A butt plug, especially the smaller ones, is used to stretch the anus wide enough to avoid the pain when they try fisting for the first time. The same goes for the penis. As much as a partner craves penis penetration, it is important to know when the anus is not stretched enough, the anal tissues may tear, and it may cause some pain when trying anal sex.
