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.
