Anal Toys for Men

What are anal toys for men?

It is a toy that goes inside the anus, designed for male anatomy. What sets it apart is the prostate, a walnut-sized gland about 5-7 cm from the anus, on the front wall of the rectum. It responds to pressure with intense, prolonged orgasms that feel different from a usual orgasm. Almost nine out of ten product pages state the material, and in three out of four it is silicone; the rest are split between glass, metal, ABS and TPR. About seven out of ten give measurements: diameters range from around 2 cm on the slimmest plugs to 9 or 10 cm on the largest from All Black and Hung System, and three out of four are between 2.5 and 5 cm. If you want to see all anal toys, without focusing only on the prostate, you will find them in anal toys. If you are looking for something for sex between men, have a look at gay sex toys too, and everything for men is in sex toys for men.

Types of anal toys for men

Among the leading brands for the prostate are Aneros, with motorless massagers that move with your body, Lelo Hugo, with dual vibration and remote control, We-Vibe Vector, adjustable and app-controlled, and Nexus Revo, which combines rotation and vibration.

• Butt plugs: you insert them and leave them in place. Constant pressure on the prostate can intensify orgasm during masturbation or sex. They come in silicone, metal or glass, with a suction cup, with a tail or with vibration.
• Prostate stimulators and vibrators: they have a curve made to reach the prostate (the P-spot). Many vibrate and some add rotation, heat, inflation or testicle stimulation, with remote control or app.
• Motorless massagers: they move with the natural contractions of your body, with no batteries or charging.
• Anal beads: spheres of increasing size that you insert and take out one by one.
• Dilators and sets: several sizes so you can increase the diameter gradually and comfortably.
• Electrostimulation: plugs that deliver small electrical pulses from a compatible control unit.

Safety and care

Only use toys with a flared base or a stopper that stops them slipping inside. In a US emergency department study of 885 cases of objects retained in the rectum, 55.4% were sex devices (Loria et al., 2023, Am J Emerg Med).

The anus does not self-lubricate, so use plenty of lubricant. Water-based ones work with any material; if you choose one of the anal lubricants, check on the product page that its base is compatible with the toy's material.

Silicone, glass and metal are easy to clean thoroughly. TPR is porous, so it is best to use a condom with it. For an anal douche beforehand, you will find bulbs and sets in intimate hygiene.

How to choose

• Material: silicone, glass or metal can be cleaned thoroughly; TPR, which is porous, less so. Check the product page and, if it is not stated, ask before buying.
• Diameter: look at the maximum diameter and the insertable length; to start, something slim is better.
• Base: check that it has a flared base or a stopper; that is what stops it slipping inside.
• Water: “fully waterproof (submersible)” withstands the shower or bath; “splashproof” only a little splashing.
• Control: with a remote or app you can use it hands-free or let your partner control it.
• Features: vibration, rotation, heat or inflation. If it is your first toy, vibration and a few modes are enough.

Anal toys for men: frequently asked questions

Is it normal for a straight man to enjoy anal pleasure?

Yes. The prostate has no sexual orientation, it is anatomy, and prostate orgasm is within reach of any man. Prostate stimulators are the fastest-growing category in male toys because more and more straight men are willing to try this area.

How do I start with anal stimulation?

Take it slowly, in four steps. Step 1 is a gentle anal douche with a rubber bulb and lukewarm water; step 2, plenty of water-based lubricant; step 3, a finger or a small silicone plug of 2-2.5 cm in diameter; and step 4, breathe, relax and do not force it.

What is the best prostate stimulator for beginners?

The Aneros Helix Syn, made of silicone and motorless, which moves with the natural contractions of your body; it is the standard starter. If you prefer vibration, the Lelo Hugo or the Satisfyer Heat Climax have a motor and intensity control.

Does using a butt plug hurt?

It should not. With lubricant, a small size and a relaxed body, pressure is what you would normally feel. If it hurts, stop: anal pleasure takes patience and does not work by force. If the pain continues afterwards or there is bleeding, see a doctor.

Which lubricant should I use with an anal toy?

A water-based one, thick and in plenty, which works with any material. Silicone-based ones last longer, but they can damage silicone toys.

How do I clean a vibrating anal toy?

With lukewarm water and mild soap or a toy cleaner, before and after use, and let it air dry. Do not boil it, because it has a motor and battery. If it is not fully waterproof (submersible), do not put it in water: wipe it with a damp soapy cloth and rinse it carefully.

Can it be used as a couple?

Yes. A plug worn during sex adds pressure on the prostate, and with remote or app-controlled ones your partner can control the vibration. If you are going to use the toy vaginally afterwards, wash it first or change the condom.
