5 best sex toys for anal pleasure

Trying anal play out is getting more and more common, amongst people of all genders and sexualities. (1) Anal sex can come in many forms, all of them providing erotic satisfaction thanks to the anal canal being so close to many important pleasure spots as well as plethora of nerve endings. Sex toys can be a great way to tip your toes into butt play – they come in various shapes and sizes, allowing you to take it as slow (or as big) as you want or need.

Understanding anal play

Before we delve into the vast world of sex toys, let’s quickly discuss why anal sex feels oh-so-good. As previously mentioned, a lot of special spots are located close to the rectum: precisely, the P spot, G spot, and A spot. (2) What are those? P spot is the prostate, a walnut-sized organ located close to the neck of the bladder and urethra found in people with penises. (3) Both G and A spot can be found in the vagina, at different heights. Both stimulate the inner parts of the clitoris as well as the bladder. During anal play, these points are stimulated, and send waves of pleasure to the receiver.

There is more to anal play than just penetration, too: you can try out anal surfacing (touch just around the anus), anal shallowing (not going deeper than a knuckle), or anal pairing (simultaneous stimulation of the anus and other erogenous zone). (4) The opportunities for exploration are endless, just remember to always use generous amounts of lube, only use toys with a flared base (otherwise they will be sucked in and later have to be removed by a doctor) and take it slow!

Dildos

Using a dildo with a suction cup on the bottom is a great way to explore anal penetration on your own. They come in many shapes (often phallic, but not always) and sizes, allowing you to choose exactly what fits you.

Butt plugs

Plugs are another amazing tool for a bit of anal training and preparation; quite literally plugging your anus. A butt plug is usually circular with a slightly pointed tip, allowing for easier insertion, and has a wide base on the bottom, preventing it from fully sliding inside. They can even be discreetly worn under your clothes in day to day situations, just remember not to use them for more than a few hours.

Anal beads

These are special strings, often from silicone, with several beads in the shape of balls or ovals, meant to be inserted as far as you can and feel comfortable with. Usually, they are from 15 to 30 centimeters long. Because of the rather big size difference between the string and the bead, they tend to sometimes catch a bit of fecal matter around the edges.

Rimming vibrators

There are more and more vibrators that simulate the act of rimming, aka ass eating. Generally, they are in the shape of a butt plug, but have a motor at the base, massaging the anal opening.

Double-ended dildos

U-shaped dildos can be a great way to explore anal pairing on your own, or try out anal pleasure with your partner(s). The more bendable, the better!
