Men oftentimes enjoy using sex toys, whether by themselves or with a partner. But for a long time, products like prostate massagers that were meant for anal use were stigmatised and a tabu. Nowadays, everything's different. There's another perspective on how playing with these toys can improve sex life by activating one of the biggest erogenous zones in the male body.
What's A Prostate Massager?
Prostate massagers are considered a type of sex toy. They're made specifically for activating internal erogenous zones in men. Their main purpose is to give sexual pleasure and they can also have therapeutic properties. Manufacturers shape them so they can apply pressure to the prostate gland.
These massagers are mainly used for enhancing sexual experience between partners and to promote prostate health. The sex toy industry has gone above and beyond to create a safe and comfortable men’s prostate toy everyone can enjoy. Every next toy that comes out is better and has improved features. They can now rotate, vibrate, tickle, brush and some can even thrust. When used properly, these toys can trigger powerful orgasms.
Types of Prostate Massagers
These massagers come in many shapes and sizes. They can be made of different materials as well. Some have vibrations and some are meant for manual use. Vibrating massagers are some of the most popular ones. They're always curved at the end to get to your sweet P-spot easily and stimulate it in the best way possible.
Even though they’re powered by a strong motor, they’re always as quiet as possible and can have up to 10 different speeds. Some of them also have vibrating patterns so you can experiment more and find what suits you the most. There's one button on the base that adjusts the vibrations. Most of these vibrators are water-resistant which means you can also use them in the shower.
But plugs are another toy you can find. They come in many shapes and sizes, but the inflatable ones are a big hit right now. The pump is made of latex, and it’s connected to a hand pump. Once you insert the plus inside, you can use the pump to enlarge the plug. Next, you can turn on the vibrations and enjoy different vibrating patterns.
Anal beads are also a type of prostate toy. They're made of silicone and can have different numbers or bears on them. The toy always has a pull handle at the end so you can easily remove the beads. There are even vibrating beads to take things to the next level. They're good for solo or partner play and can give you knee-trembling sensations.
There's another fun toy that’s shaped like a cone. This one starts with a tapered round tip and as it gets to the bottom it’s wider and wider. It has a powerful suction bottom that sticks to the surface and doesn’t move around when you use it. It's mostly made for experienced anal players, but even beginners can experiment with it.
Tips on Using Them
Find Your Prostate
The number one thing you should do before engaging in any kind of anal play is to find your prostate first. Do this by using your finger. Lubricate it well and slip it around 5cm into the anal opening. Now do a beckoning movement towards the belly button. If it feels good, you’ve found the spot. If it doesn’t feel right, explore some more until you find it.
Don't Forget Lubrication
This part of the body doesn’t self-lubricate as the vagina does, so you need to do it on your own. Always use water-based lubricant in generous amounts. Apply it to your anus and the men's prostate toy as well. This way you’ll avoid friction and pain and make the process much more enjoyable and comfortable.
Hygiene is Important
It goes without saying that cleanliness is crucial, so wash your sex toys and yourself before and after each and every use. You can also keep hygiene at a good level b encouraging bowel movement before any action and also using a douche for internal cleaning.
Be Relaxed
Always take your time to relax the body before doing anything because the anus is a very sensitive part of the body. Doing this will prevent injuries. Start by inserting the toy gently and slowly. Your body should adjust to it. If you’re struggling with resistance or you feel uncomfortable, stop. Take a pause, breathe deeply, try adjusting your position and try again.
Experimenting is Encouraged
Self-pleasure and enjoyment don’t have any rules. We all enjoy different things, so experimenting with them is always encouraged. Play around, and find different techniques, movements, angles and positions you like. You can try circular or rocking motions, deep, fast, or slow penetration. Different-sized toys, different points of pressure and intensities are also something you should explore.
What to Consider When Buying
Size
You should know that in this case, bigger isn’t always better. If you’re a beginner, it’s always a good idea to start with small men's anal toys, and upgrade as time goes by and you get comfortable. Give your body time to adjust. There are beginner-friendly toys that will do a great job. They're usually not thicker than a finger and very comfortable to work with.
Material
Go for a toy made of non-porous, body-safe materials. They're easy to clean and won’t cause an infection or irritation. Some of the safest materials are stainless steel, medical-grade silicone and borosilicate glass. All of them are good, but silicone is probably the most comfortable of them all.
Safety First
There are cases where the toy gets lost inside. To prevent this from happening, make sure it has a flared bottom. This will prevent it from getting fully inside and causing you pain and greater trouble. Also, the silicone beads should have a sturdy handle you can use to remove them from your body.
Cleaning & Maintenance
It goes without saying but anything that goes inside your body should be thoroughly cleaned, especially when it comes to your anus. This is a simple and easy process and all you need is soap and warm water. Clean the toy before using it. Never skip this part. Wash it for a few minutes and dry it out with a towel. Pat it down or leave it so it can air dry. Of course, clean the toys after you use them as well. This will keep you safe and prolong the life of the massagers you use.
