Butt plug

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Typical shaped butt plug

A butt plug [ bʌtplʌg ] (of English. Buttplug "Po-peg"), even butt plug or butt plug written and anal plug or butt plug called, is a sex toy . It can be inserted into the anus and, due to its shape, remains there without slipping out or in. Butt plugs are gender neutral. They serve both to prepare for anal intercourse and to provide sexual stimulation.

Function and use

A butt plug can be safely worn for a long period of time for foreplay or during vaginal intercourse or in preparation for anal intercourse.
Electric butt plug with vibration function

It is usually used as a means of anal stretching , i.e. as preparation for pain-free anal intercourse . The butt plug is slowly inserted into the anus before anal intercourse and remains in it for a few minutes. This leads to a slight stretching of the anus and relaxation of the rectal muscles; penetration of the penis is thus made easier. Sometimes a butt plug is deliberately kept in the anus for a long time. The sphincter muscles of the anus ( musculus sphincter ani and musculus puborectalis ) can be “trained” by regular wearing in order to make anal intercourse completely painless and more pleasurable. Sexual stimulation can also be achieved through normal movement while wearing a plug.

In addition to the actual function - the relaxation of the muscles in the area of ​​the anus - wearing a butt plug can also be experienced as such with pleasure. The butt plug is therefore also used during masturbation or as a supplementary stimulation during vaginal intercourse or for sexual prostate stimulation . Butt plugs with a vibrator function are also sold for this purpose . Wearing a butt plug during vaginal intercourse can be experienced as pleasurable by both partners.

to form

Two features distinguish the butt plug from the dildo : It is rounded at one end and conical in shape so that it can be easily inserted. Then it tapers; the final end, on the other hand, is again so wide that the butt plug cannot accidentally get completely into the anus . This shape ensures that the inserted butt plug remains in its place of destination without exertion, like a well-fitting plug . In this position, the sphincter engages in the taper of the butt plug. With the exception of inflatable models, every butt plug can be excreted by pressing hard or pulling on the lower end. Some butt plugs have grooves, comparable to dildos, which can create an intense feeling when the plug is turned.

There are butt plugs in different sizes, colors and shapes, with and without a vibrator . Most butt plugs are now made from silicone or jelly . There are also butt plugs made of hard materials such as stainless steel , granite or glass. For hygienic reasons, the butt plug can be covered with a condom . To protect against plasticizers, condoms should be used, especially for jelly butt plugs.

Vibro plug
In this form, the butt plug is expanded to include a vibration function, which is generated by balls in a cavity inside or by a motor. There are also models that can move and push.
Tail plug
This form is often used in pet play ; A dog, cat, fox, horse or hare tail is attached to the end of the plug.
P plug / prostate plug
This form, specially developed for men, is used for prostate stimulation. This is achieved through a curved shape so that the tip stimulates the prostate when the plug is inserted correctly. P plugs are often combined with vibration.
Pump plug / balloon plug
This plug can be inflated with a pump to regulate the stretch.
Tunnel plug
These plugs have a through hole in the middle of the plug through which objects or liquids can be inserted. In some models, the hole can also be closed.
Spreading plug / anchor plug
These plugs are intended to increase the feeling of being filled with a normal butt plug. A split shaft exerts increased pressure on the anus. The split shaft must be pressed together for insertion.

  • The artist Paul McCarthy causes a stir with his Santa Clauses. Instead of a Christmas tree, they hold a butt plug in their hand. In 2008 a large sculpture was installed on Eendrachtsplein in Rotterdam, representing a large version of these Santa Clauses.
