What is a Prostate Massager?

The most common prostate toys are butt plugs and massagers, usually with motors for vibration and often with a remote control for those of us whose arms aren't four feet long with multiple double-jointed elbows and eyes on our knuckles.

Use your prostate massager by yourself while you’re having a wank, slide one into a friend or loved one, or let them take you to tremble town while your schlong, mouth or hands are otherwise engaged. There are no wrong answers and anal play is only going to make things hotter. Honest.

How to Use a Prostate Massager?

Brand new to butt stuff? Consider the following tips before you get stuck in:

• Clear the runway

There’s an ancient saying that still holds true to this day: Shit happens. But let’s be honest, if you’re heading for the pleasure dome it’s nice if it, well, doesn’t. Arseholes are like opinions. Everybody has one, and some are more palatable than others. Every one is magical in its own way, and each of us has to explore what works for us when preparing for anal play.

Some people are naturally blessed, others may have a routine for preparing. This can mean taking fibre supplements, eating more healthily, trying out silicone suppositories (available from any chemist) or simply familiarising yourself with basic douching. If you’ve never douched, be gentle and start small. You’ll be surprised how good it is to feel clean, and it’ll help you relax when you’re experimenting with anal play alone or with a partner.

• Finding your prostate

Our journey begins in what Julian Clary brilliantly titled his hilarious autobiography, A Young Man’s Passage. Specifically, about five centimetres in. When you’re feeling good and frisky, slide in a clean finger (yours or somebody else’s) or toy, slathered in plenty of lube, pointing it towards your belly button, and you should strike gold.

Go easy here, your body is a temple and the anus is the shrine, so don’t go all bull in a china shop… yet. Start slowly and gently and build up the pressure. You need to find a rhythm that’s right for you. Once you’re feeling horny, this will up the ante, and you’ll soon find yourself at the end of the rainbow.

• Relax and lube up

Experimenting with anal play is the beginning of a long and beautiful friendship. The tissue inside your butt is more sensitive than most, and unlike the vagina, the anus is not self-lubricating. Short nails, clean hands and plenty – seriously guys, plenty – of lube are your butt-fun basics.
