Bottoms Up! Anal Toys, Anal Beads, and Butt Plugs

Anal toys are a great way to explore the pleasures of anal sex, either through anal masturbation or anal intercourse with a partner. All kinds of people enjoy anal sex, and for good reason: it feels good. The muscles and nerve endings around the anus are highly sensitive and can feel fantastic when touched. All men have prostate glands that can only be reached through the rectum and feel especially good when stimulated with a butt plug or an anal dildo.

There are several types of sex toys designed specifically for anal and prostate stimulation. A butt plug is a particular type of anal toy that is typically diamond-shaped with a thin neck and a flared base, which prevents it from slipping into the rectum. Prostate toys like the popular Aneros are designed specifically to stimulate a man’s prostate. Anal beads are a series of beads knotted into place along a string with a ring on the end; they cause the sphincter muscles to contract, which can send many people into orgasmic orbit. Anal dildos and vibrators offer additional types of stimulation. Read on for advice on choosing an anal toy, or learn how to stimulate the prostate gland.
