Seven years ago, September 2014, I wrote about permanent butt plugs...
Seven years later, that post is still the most viewed of all my posts, and so today, I'm going to write an update on what I have discovered.
Unless you're going to undergo some kind of surgery where a medically safe anal tunnel is built into your rectum (totally unfeasible), any plug that you use is going to have to be removed and cleaned periodically. That is just a fact of life, so a "permanent" plug is just a plug that you wear most of the time.
The metal MEO plug (left) that I featured in the first post is still around, and since that item was first introduced, a far better type of plug has come onto the market that is made of either metal or some sort of soft material—the tunnel plug, and these can open your sphincter much, much wider than the MEO "permanent" butt plug. The principle of putting a stopper in the tunnel to prevent unexpected defecation is similar to what the MEO plug uses. These tunnel plugs, however, are much more comfortable to wear and can accommodate fingers and even cocks inside the rectum, and if you want you can even aim a camera inside your open rectum for the world to see.But nothing is ever going to replace the sphincter in the anus for controlling waste or opening and closing around a cock, a dildo, or a butt plug. Just think about the marvelous way the sphincter can open when it's necessary to evacuate large turds, say two or more inches in diameter. A non-yielding metal or even silicone tunnel plug will never fully work to that effect, either.
Nonetheless, the tunnel plug is the best thing we have to a plug that you can wear all the time and use the stoppers that come with them when you should close the hole. I will likely never make the jump to a tunnel plug, but I know plenty of men (gay and straight) who wear them on a quasi-permanent basis. Keep in mind that you should never wear a metal plug when you go through airport security or metal detectors in court houses, etc. But I'm not so sure that a silicone plug would ever be detected.
I've enjoyed reading the comments on the permanent plug in both my own blog and in other venues. There is a great deal of naivete about "permanent" plugs and even what "long-term" wear means. As always for me, long-term and permanent can be the same thing, essentially when it comes to wearing a plug as close to 24/7/365 can get. Always give yourself permission to remove any plug for any reason at any time, even if, like me, your goal is to live with a plug in your rectum. And I hope I will be wearing mine to the very end.
Even though there are all kinds of tunnel plugs on the market at the moment, I suggest only getting the silicone (clear) or an MEO metal tunnel plug.
