Anal Dildo / Deep Anal

A butt plug is a sex toy that is designed to be inserted into the anus for sexual pleasure. Although any dildo can serve as an anal dildo, there are dildos that are specifically designed for anal stimulation. They can be used by both men and women. For men, they are often designed to target the prostate for intense pleasure.

Since they’re specifically designed for anal sex, there are some features that distinguish anal dildos from regular dildos.

The base is the first major feature that distinguishes an anal dildo from the other dildos. Anal dildos feature a flared base that limits just how far they can go and ensures that you can always remove your dildo when you’re done. The flared based is a vital safety feature that can spare you an embarrassing visit to the hospital or doctor. Flared bases are also useful because many of them are compatible with strap-on harnesses for role reversal or pegging. Many flared bottoms also come with a built-in suction cup, which allows you to enjoy your anal dildo in a variety of different positions like anal doggy or anal cowgirl.

The other major feature that makes anal dildos different from regular ones is the type of material used. While dildos are made from a wide variety of materials, anal dildos are made from materials with unique hygienic properties that make them easier to maintain and keep clean. These anal-friendly materials include silicone, glass, and metal to name a few. Moreover, most anal dildos are not porous to prevent them from absorbing the lubricant you are using. Because the rectum will need ample lubricant for using a dildo, the last thing you want is the dildo acting like a sponge. Therefore, 100% medical grade silicone and other non-porous materials are an excellent idea.

Anal dildos are also much smaller than regular ones. While the average dildo is about 1.5 inches wide and 6 inches long, most anal dildos are less than 1 inch wide and about 4 inches long. It might sound small… until you try an anal dildo out for the first time. As with other activities involving anal penetration, such as anal sex, large amounts of sexual lubricant and a slow, gentle approach are needed to insert or remove a butt plug.

One area of concern with the anal dildo is bacteria transfer. You will want to avoid using dildos that cannot be sterilized thoroughly (bleached, boiled, dishwasher, etc.). You do not wish to bacteria growing on the dildo and getting out of control and then put it in later anally or especially vaginally only to get an infection. One thing you can do if you know you cannot wholly sterilize your dildo is put a condom over it so that you can take it off when you are done.
