Did you think butt plugs are only meant for anal intercourse? Think again. With a bit of creative thinking, you’ll find that butt plugs can be served with not just the main dish. So dive down and explore all the ways you can utilize this fantastic sex toy.
Are Butt Plugs Meant Only for Anal Prep?
We’re here to disperse the rumors and myths that surround this very versatile sex toy. One of them being that you should only use them as a part of an anal training kit. Here’s why that’s entirely wrong.
Butt plugs can be used for various types of anal stimulation. Not only that, but you can also do a lot of other things with them. Things that have nothing to do with anal. Think about it: can you use a vibrator for something other than stimulating your vagina? The answer is yes! So the same rules apply here.

Plugs are awesome prostate stimulators for men and provide the experience of double penetration for women. That said, you don’t need a partner to use one. They make for amazing masturbation buddies too.
What else can you do with them? The truth is — whatever you want. Take your time and explore your options.
The Design of Butt Plugs
We’re sure everyone knows what a butt plug looks like. You’re at least able to create a mental image of it. Regardless, let’s talk about its design.
Butt plugs look a certain way for easier insertion and removal. A good plug design calls for a tapered tip (not pointy!), a good neck-to-bulb ratio, and a flared base.
A tapered tip is vital so your anus can receive and adjust to the plug gradually. Imagine having to shove a spherical object into your behind. It sounds painful (probably because it would be). The transition from the end of the bulb to the neck shouldn’t be blunt either. After all, you’re going to have to take the plug out at some point. You need that to happen gradually.
Such design makes plugs extremely versatile, especially if they’re of the vibrating kind. You can stimulate your other erogenous zones or use them for body massage. Why not? They’re not for one thing only. It can be a useful sexy toy during foreplay to prepare you for the main event.
It’s important to remember to clean your plug thoroughly and never switch between anal and vaginal penetration — no mixing and matching here!
Butt Plugs as a Body Massage Tool
Do you know how wand vibrators came from actual body massagers? The same applies to butt plugs, except in reverse.
The tapered design of plugs makes them perfect for massaging specific spots on your body. You can say goodbye to backache with one of these bad boys in hand. Choose the desired type depending on the kind of massage you need.
We suggest the smaller, bulkier kind for precision and better-applied pressure. It will be like massaging yourself with a rock. Just don’t think about it and go with the flow. You’ll soon find different things plugs are good for naturally.
Tease Other Erogenous Zones
Come on now. This is quite an obvious one.
Similar to any other sex toy, butt plugs too can be used to stimulate other erogenous zones. They can be slightly textured or vibrate, so those are the types that would be best. You can tease your clit, inner thighs, breasts. Whatever turns you on.
Isn’t it awesome knowing that one toy can make your entire body feel amazing? Besides preparation for anal, a butt plug can prepare you for other things too. Getting turned on sometimes takes some time, but that time can be lessened by using a handy plug.
Temperature Play
People used to practice temperature play using wax and ice. With the emergence of sex toys that include different materials, now it’s way different.
Butt plugs can also serve as a good toy for temperature play. Use them to stimulate yourself as you generally would. However, be mindful of choosing the material you’re planning to use. We suggest sticking to metal or stainless steel, as well as glass butt plugs that are available at loveplugs.co.
Metal toys can lose their new temperature properties quite fast, but you can reheat/recool them pretty fast too. Glass, on the other hand, doesn’t transfer heat that well, but it’s great at retaining it. That means it will take you a little longer to heat up/cool down your toy, but you’ll have more time to play with it once you have done it.
In case you don’t have a metal or a glass toy, just make sure yours is suitable for warming/cooling.
BDSM
Anal toys, in general, are trendy within the BDSM community. But how do butt plugs precisely fit in?
They’re mainly used in dom/sub plays. The dominant one can insert and remove the plug but never let their submissive actually orgasm, for example. That way, they’re establishing their dominance. They can order the sub to wear the plug for a whole day but forbid them from climaxing too.
Plugs can be a part of punishment play as well, where the dom inserts them using little to no lube at all. The point of this type of play is to make the other person feel pain. Otherwise, lube is a must.
The type of plug you’ll need depends on what you want to achieve. If you want to reward your sub, go for princess plugs. If you want to punish them, opt for a ribbed one, for example.
Role Play Sex
Oh, there’s so much room for experimenting with butt plugs when it comes to role-playing.
Firstly, it depends on what kind of role play you’re into. Whatever it may be, a butt plug can be a part of it as a dirty little secret. Or they don’t have to be a secret. Maybe your partner finds it during the play and decides to do something about it (wink-wink).
Another great thing if you’re into some kinky role-playing is tail butt plugs. They look exactly as you would imagine: they have furry tails attached to the base. Tails can be long, short, and represent any animal you can think of. Okay, there isn’t exactly a giraffe’s tail, but you get the point.
We highly recommend tail plugs if you’re into that. If not, choose whatever feels good for you. Be that a fancy princess plug or the classic, simple model.
Summary
Now you know all the ways butt plugs can be used for besides anal prep.
If you’re new to all this anal business, you need a butt plug for beginners. But even with the simplest of plugs, you can create a lot of magic. All it takes is some imagination.
