Your anus has the second most concentrated group of nerve endings in your body. Anal toys are specially designed sex toys to allow the most enjoyment of anal play, including many created for the purpose of male prostate stimulation.

There is a wide variety of anal products out there, from the very small and simple to the unbelievably large. There are bendy toys, 'medical' toys and BDSM products. Anal play is becoming increasingly more popular for both women and men and if you haven't tried it you definitely should.

Here are many of the different types of anal products out there:

Butt Plugs

When the topic of anal play comes up the first thing that comes to mind for many people is the butt plug. Butt plugs are typically fairly simple in design and very smooth. Butt plugs can vary in size from short and thin to extremely large, with over 4" diameters!

Butt plugs are designed to be inserted into the anus and left there during sex or masturbation to provide a full feeling that many people find wonderful. For women, this also has the side benifit of pushing a man's penis or a dildo towards the fron of the vaginal cavity, providing additional pressure on her g-spot. And for men the plug rubs up against the prostate, the nerve-rich part of the male body that provides similar sensations as the female g-spot.

Butt plugs are generally not made to be used in a thrusting motion, there are other anal dildos and anal probes that are designed for such actions.

Lube is very important when using butt plugs, you should scroll down to and read about anal lubricants.

Anal Balls and Anal Beads

Anal beads have a simple use, they are to be gently pulled out of the anus right at the time of climax. Just like all anal toys plenty of water-based lube should be used.

Timing is very important when using anal beads, and when using them with a partner communication is also critical. Always make sure your partner knows what he or she should be doing, whether it's adding more lube, pushing in another bead or, when it's time, right at climax, pulling them out.

Quick tip: when removing anal beads be sure to pull them straight out, not angled up or down.

Anal Probes

Anal probes are typically long, thin 'probe' looking sex toys that are made for thrusting and, well, probing. Anal probes come in a variety of shapes, some smooth with a bulb on the end, some have bumps all over the shaft, some are curved for prostate stimulation and some are bendy, allowing you to contour them how you see fit.

Anal probes often times have handles for easy controlling by you or your partner. Don't forget to communicate your feelings during anal play, to get the most out of any anal session communication is imperative.

Anal Vibrators

Anal vibrators come in almost all standard anal sex toys flavors, including butt plugs, anal probes and anal beads. Most anal vibrators these days range from the simple that have a few power levels to the more advanced, cordless vibrators that have hundreds of variations from minor vibrating to powerful pulsations.

Anal Lubricants

When engaging in anal play water-based lube should always be used, never silicone, unlike the vagina, the anus has no easy way of expelling a silicone lubricant. After some time, the lubricant will begin to irritate the sensative inner walls, whereas water-based lubricants break down easily and will not cause and problems.

You can also find lubricants that are slightly desensitising, allowing the passage of items such as butt plugs to pass by the sensitive anus without causing discomfort or pain.
