When surveying our premiere collection of anal dildos, anal vibrators, probes, butt plugs, and balls, we acknowledge that the variety may feel intimidating. So for the new user and more experienced alike, we’re here to guide you, answer your questions, and help you discover the best toys for your journey into anal play.
Anal play is self-pleasuring involving the butt area. The use of anal toys is not limited by your sexuality: gay and straight guys alike can enjoy them. If you’ve ever stimulated the area on your own or with a partner, you’re aware the anal zone is extremely sensitive and can lead to huge, full-body orgasms.
Internally, you’ll also find the prostate, the most intense sexual nerve-center in a man’s body. When stimulated, this walnut-sized bundle of nerves produces incredibly intense orgasmic experiences. And while a prostate massage using the fingers is pleasurable, the addition of anal sex toys can ramp up that orgasm to new, mind-blowing heights.
Sometimes the angle of self-fingering can be odd or uncomfortable. The construction of anal toys allows for much easier access — and much less contortion. Plus, they’re convenient if a partner isn’t available, or doesn’t want to wear a strap-on.
For example, basic anal probes and dildos (not necessarily shaped like a penis!) can help you begin to explore. Butt plugs and beads can help enhance the pleasure of anal masturbation, while vibrators and dedicated prostate massagers give way to a wholly incomparable universe of earth-shattering prostate stimulation.
What does this all mean? In comparison to your fingers, anal toys provide reliable, solo access to longer, stronger, toe-curling orgasms.
There’s no question that the anal region is a delicate and deeply personal area of the body for most guys. We’ll talk you through the top concerns about safety, and answer all your questions below.
Even the stiffest anal toys have carefully shaped tips so that well-prepped, lube-assisted insertion should always be comfortable. Gay or straight, new or experienced, the process should only be pleasant.
Beyond that, every toy will be shaped to ensure that it’s always safely removable. This may be a handle on a butt-plug, a wider, flared base on a dildo, or a long string attached to anal beads.
Anal sex toys come in a wide variety of materials. You’ll want to look for toys that are constructed out of non-porous, body-safe, and easily cleanable substances. Glass and metalwork, although considering how stiff these materials can be, beginners may want to start with something more flexible.
The absolute best, industry-standard material on the market is high-grade silicone. The flexibility of this substance means it naturally feels closest to the elasticity of the skin and can be molded into any number of shapes, colors, and textures.
Part of most people’s concern over anal play is hygiene. But with toys made out of safe materials and a simple clean-up routine, you never have to worry.
Before and after every use of an anal sex toy, you’ll need to clean and dry it. With the materials mentioned above, this can be as basic as washing and scrubbing your toy with hot, soapy water. Some toys can even be boiled.
But for the best reassurance that you’ve eliminated all germs, we suggest an anti-bacterial sex toy cleaner.
With so many types available, it’s vital to know how to choose the best anal sex toy for you. Both size and shape are easily adjustable and searchable, depending on your preferences. You don’t have to start huge! Keep in mind our discussion of materials when choosing your toy. All of these parameters will depend highly on your experience level, so take some time to assess your needs.
The biggest decision to make when you start, however, is going to be the type.
Butt plugs are simple, bulb-shaped toys with a flared base. They come in various sizes, small to big, for a more or less intense feeling. Butt plugs are inserted into the body and generally stay there while another sexual stimulation is applied.
Anal beads are a series of flexible spheres connected together with a handle or retrieval string at the end. Generally, they will slowly increase in size, for more stretch the more you insert. They are intended to be inserted into the anus in sequence, and can then be pulled out slowly when building towards orgasm, or quickly at the moment of release.
Because of their shape, anal probes are one of the best toys for beginners. They are generally thinner, firm toys with tapered tips for easy penetration.
Anal dildos come in a variety of shapes, sizes, materials, and textures. They can be shaped like a realistic penis or not! Most are constructed to also fit onto a strap-on. From very small to thick and huge, all of the above can be a bit overwhelming to choose from, so consider reading our article on anal dildos for more information.
Add some vibration to any of the above toys, and you’ve got an anal vibrator. Once you’re used to the basics of anal masturbation, a toy that involves vibration can amp up that stimulation to a whole new level.
If you’re a guy who’s new to the world of anal toys, getting started with anal sex may seem daunting or uncomfortable. Remember: length is less important than width to begin. You never have to insert the full length of a toy, but you can’t change the width. So consider starting off modestly, with an anal probe or smaller butt plug.
To start, order your toy of choice online. Also, consider purchasing that anti-bacterial sex toy cleaner. Choose a comfortable, familiar location. For a beginner, you may wish to lay down some towels or an extra sheet.
If you’re worried about hygiene, you can always purchase an anal douche or enema kit. A warm shower can both help clean and relax you. Make sure both your toy and your hands are thoroughly washed.
Lastly, you’ll want lube. The anus doesn’t produce its own lubricant, and silicone-on-skin will lead to extreme discomfort and even irritation. Lube helps with ease of insertion, prevents injury, and makes playing with anal sex toys much more pleasurable. Also important: when using a silicone sex toy, you must use a water-based lubricant. Silicone-based lubricant can cause silicone-based sex toys to break down over time.
Like other muscles, the sphincter will tighten if you’re tense or nervous, so make sure to relax and breathe. Set up your space to make yourself comfortable.
Consider beginning with whatever normally gets you aroused. Remember, anal play should just be added pleasure at first. When you’re thoroughly turned on, that’s when attention can turn towards the butt.
Use lube liberally. We suggest starting with fingering and helping the sphincter get flexible. Lube up your toy, and slowly insert. There’s no rush here. With beginner sex toys generally utilizing a tapered design, you can easily remain at different widths for minutes at a time. You only have to go as deep as you want.
Once you’re comfortable with basic penetration, explore different angles, positions, and tempos. Go deep, and focus on aiming for the prostate.
Many beginners will try easy positions such as lying in bed on their back, in a fetal position, or on all fours. Remember, if you have a suction-cup dildo, that anal toy can attach to any flat surface, such as a wall, shower, or chair.
As you get used to the pleasurable sensations of basic anal play, you can always ramp up to bigger toys, or toys with added vibration.
Though traditionally taboo, enjoying anal masturbation with the help of a sex toy is far from shameful. You’re an adult man. Gay or straight, using anal sex toys is a self-affirming way for you to experience the most intense, pleasurable orgasms possible. Adding anal play can open up a whole new world of sensation, and our toys will help you get there.
Keep scrolling to peruse a wide selection of high-quality toys, and make sure to stock up on water-based lubricant and antibacterial sex toy cleaner. Other partner toys like strap-ons or two-person toys are also available.
