Let’s Talk About Butt Plugs
March 18th, 2008 by Evil Beet
I know we normally just talk about celebrities on this blog, but this is so funny I just had to share.
I was having dinner with a friend tonight, and we were like “What should we do later tonight?” and somehow the suggestion of going to a sex toy store came up. And we’re cracking up already, like, “What are we going to buy at a sex toy store?” And my friend was like “Butt plugs?” And I almost died laughing, like, “What do people even do with butt plugs anyway?”
So we looked it up on Wikipedia, and the entry was pretty much the funniest thing I have ever read. I’ve included the majority of it here, with my favorite parts highlighted:
Butt plugs (or anal plugs) are sex toys designed to be inserted in the anus and rectum for sexual pleasure. In some ways, they are similar to a dildo, but they tend to be shorter, and to have a flared end to prevent the device from being lost inside the rectum. (It is generally ill-advised to use a standard dildo anally, since it may get stuck, requiring medical extraction.)
The users of butt plugs include men and women of all sexual orientations.
Unlike the vagina, which is closed off by the cervix, the rectum leads to the sigmoid colon. Objects which are inserted into the rectum can therefore potentially travel up into the bowel: the flared end on a butt plug exists to prevent this.
In addition, the lower bowel above the rectum is easily perforated. For this reason, butt plugs tend to be shorter than dildos, and their range in size tends generally to be a variation in circumference. They must also be very smooth to avoid damaging the rectum or bowel. In order to get them into the rectum, they most commonly have a general profile of a round-ended cone which then narrows to a “waist” which locates itself at the anal sphincter, with the flared part outside the body, preventing the butt plug from slipping further into the body. The sphincter muscle will hold the plug in place by the waist, preventing the plug from slipping out unintentionally.
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.
Butt plugs are often used covered by condoms for hygiene, and to allow for the easy disposal of any feces that they may come in contact with. Nevertheless, they should not be shared with other people, due to the risk of blood-borne diseases, including HIV that can arise from the transfer of body fluids from one person to another. These should also never be used to stimulate any area other than the rectum, though they often are.
A butt plug is not necessarily confined to only anal stimulation. Butt plugs may be transferred and rotated to and from the rectum, vagina, and mouth. [Ed -- who exactly is transfering the butt plug from the rectum to the mouth?] This is quite an unsanitary way to engage in sexual stimulation unless certain precautions are made; such as cleaning the butt plug in an anti-bacterial fashion by e.g. alcohol, the vagina being covered in plastic wrap, the buttplug being covered by a condom (which is removed before any transferring takes place), and other various methods. If these measures are not taken, fecal matter may be passed to other parts of the body causing sickness, infections, and a malodorous scent. Though these ill side effects may take place, some butt plug users will still take this risk.
Seriously, people! BE SAFE OUT THERE WITH YOUR BUTT PLUGS!!!!
Really, though, have any of you ever used butt plugs in your sexual relations?? Why? I wanna hear stories, kids!

I’m sorry but nothing that looks like a grenade is going anywhere near my bum, thanks. But if I did, I don’t think I couldn’t *not* say “Geronimo!!!” thereby ruining whatever sexy mood there had been.

I have to admit, I have enjoyed anal plugs a time or two….or thirty.
It’s a good thing when combined with vaginal intercourse–it creates a more intense feeling.
Plugs are a good way to ease into anal sex or experiment with anal stimulation. I enjoy them very much, although I will admit, that grenade disturbs me a bit. I prefer a smooth surface–there’s way too much texture on that thing.

Sounds like fun.

Right on, Boogs. Yeah I have a couple of these. wearing one during vaginal sex makes everything a lot tighter and since the wall between vagina and rectum is very thin, ribbed butt plugs give the boyfriend quite a thrill. My boyfriend likes anal sex but since it can be quite painful I enjoy having these around (nothing as scary as the one in the picture of course) to prep beforehand. I’ve never understood girls that get off anally but then again I’m a tough one to crack

O.o Ummm, yeah…… Exit only, peeps. And ummm, I think the whole feces thing should turn any person off…..

For a while butt plugs were like a good movie that I had heard a couple nice things about, but not enough to really make me believe all the hype. Eventually I tried one out and it wasn’t anything special, but I didn’t know it would make such a huge difference to leave the butt plug in during my orgasm. That’s the key. Yeah. I highly reccomend that everyone reading this go shopping for some lube and a nice small (about 6″ long) butt plug and next time you’re horny and really want an incredible orgasm get your butt plug out and then in you. And make sure you have it in while you orgasm. enjoy!
