Advice for heterosexual men: buy a butt plug! 

That pretty much sums up the answer to the question; “can straight men wear butt plugs?”. 

But if you need a little more encouragement or even a few biological facts, we’ve got plenty. 

Stick around and you may just find out a new way in which to experience unwavering sexual bliss.

A New Perspective on Butt Plugs for Straight Men

Let’s get more candid here and say; butt plugs can be enjoyed by all genders, no matter what their sexuality. 

The good news is: as the years go by, people are becoming a bit more sexually liberal and open to trying new things, yes. 

But are straight men still saying no to anal stimulation or penetration for the sole reason that they believe it labels them as “gay” or that they may be afraid that in doing so may imply they may be so? Also, yes. 

The latter is just a sad, sad state of affairs. 

Allow us to bust this myth, and indulge in a bit of information that’ll lead to the contrary. 

Because, at the end of the day, pleasure is pleasure, isn’t it? And if you’re denying it, then it’s only really you that suffers. 

Myth: Butt Plugs Are Just for Women or Gay Men

No beating around the bush—we all have butts. And that means that we all have the ability to engage in anal play. 

So why does society deem that only women and gay men should be having anal? 

Let’s face it: it’s because anal sex is the only form of penetration that gay men can enjoy together. But wanting to try or experiencing anal play does not make you gay. This is a myth.

And those who are so quick to judge the act for that reason have yet to discover just how amazing anal can be. 

The truth is, desiring and/or enjoying anal stimulation has nothing to do with your sexual identity. Being gay is part of who you are and who you are attracted to. It’s not about how you have sex.

On that note, here’s some concrete evidence why all men should be trying anal stimulation and penetration. 

Cue: the prostate. 

Understanding Your Prostate (The Male G-Spot)

The prostate is a magical area located in penis owners. It’s a walnut-sized gland that can be found below the bladder and in front of the rectum, and is made up of connective and glandular tissue. 

The purpose of the prostate is to produce fluid that, together with sperm cells, make up semen. The muscles of the prostate also make sure that semen is forced into the urethra and expelled through ejaculation.

Apart from this necessary biological function, the prostate is also a huge pleasure zone for penis owners, often known as the “male G-spot”. 

Adding to the pleasure is the fact that it’s surrounded by nerve endings that are extremely sensitive and thus add to the arousal when touched. 

Want to learn how to stimulate your prostate? It really is quite simple, all the while remembering one important thing: go slow!

Here’s How to Stimulate Your Prostate Without Anal Sex Toys in 6 Steps:

For beginners, let’s start with the absolute basics without bringing toys into the mix. We’ll touch on using butt plugs later on. 

This is a guide for those who’ve never ever experienced any anal stimulation.

• Step one: wash your hands and cut your fingernails.
• Step two: try to take a bowel movement beforehand.
• Step three: do something to relax and warm up the body, such as taking a warm bath and/or masturbating.
• Step four: have lots of lube on-hand.
• Step five: get in a relaxed position, apply lube onto one finger and around your anus. Gently start to insert your finger, as slowly as you need to go. If you manage to insert it to a point where you can feel a round lump a few inches inside of the rectum, you’ve found your prostate. 
• Step six: press on or gently massage your prostate, re-applying lube as necessary, with the pad of your finger.  

After this, you can continue to take it at your pace. You could press or massage harder or faster, or you could introduce more fingers if you’re comfortable with that.

Alternatively, you could indirectly stimulate your prostate.

How to Indirectly Stimulate Your Prostate (AKA Without Penetration)

There is another way to enjoy prostate stimulation without penetration. That is, by massaging and/or putting pressure on the perineum. 

The perineum is the thin patch of skin between your genitals (scrotum) and your anus, and is too rife with nerve endings. 

This is, of course, is a less invasive way to get started with prostate play, and could be an interesting way for beginners to get acquainted before the real bliss begins.

How Should a Straight Man Start With Butt Plugs?

We’ve mentioned how one could stimulate their prostate (aka anal penetration) for the first time using their fingers, now we’re going to introduce butt plugs. 

It’s probably for the best that newbies begin experimenting with their fingers first, as it is an easier and gentler way to get to know their bodies before using anal toys. But after you’re comfortable with your fingers, the next best thing is anal pleasure products.

With that, how should a straight man start with butt plugs? The trick is to start small. Go for the smallest butt plug available, or go for an anal training kit. 

An anal training kit is a set of (usually) three butt plugs of varying sizes. You would start with the small butt plug, then work your way up to the medium-sized one, then the larger one, over time. 

This kind of kit is not just great for those who want to experience even more anal bliss but also for those who want to work their way up to having anal sex. 

Remember: having anal sex is a choice of sexual satisfaction, not one of sexual orientation.

To start with the smallest butt plug, you would follow the same rules as with your fingers. Only, you would apply a generous amount of lube to your butt plug as well. 

A butt plug is teardrop-shaped, which gives you the opportunity to insert the tip (which is small) first. Do it slowly. If you rush, it won’t be pleasant and it may lead you to not want to try it again. Trust us, it is well worth the sexual journey, but it must be done carefully and slowly. 

Insert your butt plug to a point that you still feel comfortable. If you feel pain, then you’ve gone too far. Even if you’ve barely allowed entry, that’s OK! Easy does it. The point is, practice playing with your butt plug` and soon, you’ll be able to insert it more and more. 

Once you’re able to insert the butt plug inside of you, you’ll feel a sense of fullness, and the butt plug will be putting pressure on your prostate. During this time, you may want to masturbate your penis or engage in other sexual activity.

And when you feel ready, it can be super pleasurable to remove your butt plugs at the height of climax. 

Another way to enjoy even more prostate play would be to try prostate massagers. These anal sex toys are curved in such a way that they target your prostate more precisely. This may be your next step after playing with butt plugs.

Having said that, let’s introduce you to some of our favourite butt plugs as well as prostate massagers, so you can fully indulge and get to know the wonderful world of anal pleasure.
