The Bountiful Smorgasbord of Anal Toys


Drop the term anal toys into casual conversation and the first things that’ll pop into your listeners’ minds will be butt plugs and dildos. Unless you’ve misjudged your set and setting, and they all freak. That aside, while butt plugs and dildos are versatile staples of the anal toybox, there are variations on those themes as well as toys such as anal beads and prostate massagers that can bring some spiffy new riffs to your next anal play session, and we’ll take a whirlwind tour through the spectrum of anal toys.

First, the butt plug, the basic anal toy we’re all familiar with. Tapered at the tip for easy insertion and thick in the middle to pleasure the rectum’s nerve clusters, the butt plug comes with optional variations sure to delight and please users of anal toys. Vibrating butt plugs provide the constant stimulation of the butt plug with a variety of vibration speed and intensity options to enhance arousal. Butt plugs with suction cups at their bases are a good bet for a user who wants to enjoy anal toy fun in the shower, bath, or anywhere else the user wants a completely hands free butt plug experience. Butt plugs are available in a variety of sizes and girths, so a first-time butt plug user can explore anal toy play with a small, slim butt plug that won’t be too much to handle, and hardcore butt plug enthusiasts have a wealth of monstrously large butt plugs to select from for an anal toy adventure that won’t be soon forgotten.


For anal toy fun that’s a nifty variant on standard thrusting anal play, anal beads provide a singular sensation that many anal toy enthusiasts have come to treasure. Anal beads are available in any size a user could want. The anal beads are linked on a strand and each anal bead is gradually inserted into the users anus for the pleasure of penetration. The sensual pleasure amps up when the anal beads are removed gradually, one anal bead at a time, by gently tugging the strand. Vibrating anal beads are available for experienced users who want additional stimulation for their anal erogenous zone.

Prostate massagers are anal toys that are particularly swell for men who’ve discovered the joys of p-spot stimulation and orgasm. These anal toys resemble butt plugs, but are specifically designed with a curve that lets the prostate massager’s tip reach and stimulate the p-spot with gentle, consistent vibration. These anal toys are loads of fun when used with a partner during anal play, but there are many hands free versions of these anal toys for solo pleasure.

Anal dildos are excellent anal toys for users who want the pleasure of penetration combined with thrusting, and these anal toys are specifically designed with a girth and curve that make them perfect for anal play. Anal dildos can also be easily fitted into a harness, making them perfect anal toys to use with a partner.

Naturally, when using anal toys, use plenty of lube and set a pace with your anal toy that’s comfortable for you. Keep your anal toys clean; choosing anal toys fabricated from silicone will make that part of the equation so much easier. Most importantly, have fun with your anal toys and with experimenting with the many types of anal toys available for your pleasure. ‘Cause pleasure’s what anal toys are all about.
