Butt Plugs and Hemorrhoids

Do Butt Plugs Cause Hemorrhoids?

No.

Actually butt plugs cure hemorrhoids.

Note that I am talking about the external hemorrhoids

Let me back up, prior to my living plugged. I was at an age and had such a sedentary lifestyle that I suffered from hemorrhoids, bad ones, bleeding ones, the kind that made me itch and twitch, the kind that made me use Preparation H. I was at an age where I began to despair at the condition my anal opening was in. My boss at work was worse than me. He even had surgery down there, where tiny little rubber bands are attached to the rhoids, until the blood flow is cut off and they die and come off—that is, whatever awful thing the doctor would have done. I was of an age that I sadly referred to my own anus as my "rusty butt."

There is nothing erotic or sexy about hemorrhoids, and I had long taken myself out of the anal bottom category. About fifteen years prior to this, I had played with butt plugs and dildos and had enjoyed it immensely. I thought those days were over. But one day I was in an adult toy store and went to the butt plug, dildo section and marveled at the new plugs, their material, etc. My first purchase (and despite the hemorrhoids) was a silicon plug. Nicely designed, big enough to be a challenge, but also big enough to make my anus twitch, anticipating the pain of the rhoids.

After several attempts, lots of Preparation H, and a willingness to torture myself to relive the old days when my anal opening was in good shape, I finally got that sucker in there and promptly made the mistake of going out in public with it in. I had it in for about two hours and by the time I got home I was in pain and just wanted it out of there. Nothing sexy about butt plugs and hemorrhoids.

This couple is using 100% of their
sexual capacity by both being
plugged...

And yet, there had also been that thrill from the old days of having a plug in my ass and echoes of the feelings that used to wash through my nether regions when I used plugs and dildos. So I decided to search for something a bit different. I bought a medium NJOY Pure Plug made of stainless steel. It was a beauty, and for about twelve hours, the first time I tried to keep it in, it was bliss, but there was something about the base that irritated my "rusty butt."

I did use it enough, however, to see that my anal opening, around the sphincter was no longer painful. In fact, it began to feel a whole lot better. I just despaired of keeping the NJOY in too much, because of how the rather sharp-edges of the base dug into my tender anal skin. So I wanted something shaped like the NJOY, but with a different kind of base, and that's when I discovered two glass plugs. At first, the idea of glass scared me, but I bought my first one. It had a ring base, an angled head like the NJOY and was about 1.5 inches at its widest point. The shaft, however, was a little on the thin side, but I wore it enough to see that over about a three-month period, I was no longer suffering from hemorrhoids.

Just plain beautiful.

Now my theory, based on data from only my own experience, is that something smooth, like glass or steel and non-porous working the sphincter, either slightly or greater is what gets things working down there. It's as if you are no longer sedentary. It's as if instead of sitting all day, squashing the sphincter and anal opening, just the act of keeping something in there and slightly working it helps send in the troops that vanquish the rhoids! In fact, I was getting so much pleasure from the first glass plug that I desired a wider shaft, and so I discovered the Devi Prism glass plug, with a shaft of a little over a half-inch wide, a bulb of about two inches, and that's when I started living plugged, about April of 2013.

Then I wanted an even larger shaft and ended up with the two-inch diameter, with a one-inch shaft and ring base Icicles #14. But the NJOY works well for those of you who aren't bothered by the oval base.

If you have hemorrhoids, don't despair! Throw away the Preparation-H, get rid of the pain and blood and itching. You don't need a doctor, either. Just a nice smooth, non-porous plug of either glass or steel. You will not only cure your butt, you will begin to love it and living plugged to me is a wonderful experience, not only because my butt stays healthy, but also because it's a hazy sexual pleasure that makes me feel great all day and all night.

Butt Plug 24/7/365

What happens when you wear a butt plug all the time, 24/7/365?

At the end of March 2015, I will have been wearing a butt plug for two years, 24/7. Of course this is only "technically" all day and all night, because I have to remove it for bowel movements. Others before me have established even longer records of living plugged. One grandfather wore his for 55 years, but we don't know how much of a plug it was, because 55 years ago was the dark ages, and only doctors would prescribe wearing a butt plug. It's a good research topic, however, and someone should look into this. Another man said in a recent forum that he's worn his plug practically 24/7 for over 30 years.

So...from my own experience, what actually happens if you have a plug in your ass all the time? Does it do permanent changes to your sphincter? Does it somehow change the prostate? Can the body actually EVER get used to having a plug in the butt?

My first answer is that it depends on the size, material, and shape of the plug. All plugs have three parts: the egg, the shaft, and the base. I call the top part (the part that goes into your ass) the "egg" only because mine is shaped exactly like an egg. Sometimes I wish it was the size of a goose egg though and not a chicken egg. But that's another story.

Now wouldn't these boys look even better with
butt plugs sticking out of their asses?

Basically, there are three materials from which plugs are made: metal, glass, and silicone. There are other materials, but these are the three dominant types.

The sizes go from ridiculously small to outrageously monstrous. Neither extreme is going to be good for have a plug in your ass 24/7/365. The small ones simply don't count. The large ones are impossible to wear for very long at all.

Mine has a two-inch diameter egg, a one-inch diameter shaft, and a ring base. This is not a round base that sits perpendicular to my butt cheeks. Instead the ring base is like a donut and fits between, not perpendicular to, the butt cheeks.

I would characterize my plug size as large, as opposed to anything smaller. I'd measure the length of my plug but it's in my ass and I don't want to take it out to see. Maybe 4 inches inside depth (including the shaft), and two inches of the ring between my butt cheeks, for a total of six inches.

The NJOY metal plugs have narrow shafts and over time will not substantially change the sphincter tension or shape. But my plug's shaft is one-inch in diameter. So to see if I had done any permanent changes to my butt, I went for a ten-day period without my plug, and when I replugged after that time, the two-inch egg went in easily. So I will have to conclude that after a year and a half, my ass had loosened a little. Now if I had gone say two months without it, would it have gone back to normal? I think it would have. So, what happens to the sphincter after living plugged for a year and a half is that it stays more or less a little loose. I can still hold an enema when I shave or brush my teeth, so I'm not worried that I've done any permanent changes to my sphincter. When I first remove my plug for a BM and I use aloe gel to get ready for the enema, I can easily get four fingers in my ass, and I suppose if I really tried (I don't want to) I might fairly easily get my fist up my butt. I'm not about to let anyone else stick his fist in my butt, however. Just saying...

This is just beautiful!

Now, what about the prostate? I haven't noticed any diminished capacity to get an erection. In fact, I can bring myself to full-on hard erection without touching my cock, just by squeezing my butt cheeks and feeling the twinge begin with my sphincter as it closes around the hard shaft of the plug, and then transfer to my cock. I can hold the clinch for easily a minute without even trying hard, and when I let go, I can feel things shift and relax. I still easily shoot cum about two feet onto my chest. So I don't feel that I have done any permanent changes to my prostate by having that hunk of glass in my ass 24/7/365.

But here is a funny thing. I do go throughout the day and sometimes couldn't tell you if I have a plug in my ass or not (without clinching), so I reach back and feel the arc of the ring base in my ass through my pants. One reader of my blog didn't like the idea that after wearing the plug he could not feel the horny sensations continually. On the other hand, I find it rather neat that I have a plug in my ass and sometimes I'm not aware of it per se. It just means to me that it has become a part of my body. I'm not aware of my ears all the time, either, but I know they're there, and I know they're working because I can hear all the time.

Just enjoy the sensation!

Living plugged is not meant to provide a fuck session without a break. Living plugged is meant to be...well...plugged.

So, what happens when you wear a plug 24/7/365? There are no permanent changes (as far as I can tell); there is no permanent "damage," either. However, a definite side benefit to being continually plugged (but I stress the material should either be glass or metal) is that I no longer have hemorrhoids, no hemorrhoidal flare-ups...nothing. They're gone and I live a sedentary lifestyle. That means that my ass is a pretty pink and healthy part of my body. It's clean enough to lick all the time.

Working While Wearing a Butt Plug

Playing While Wearing a Butt Plug

What can you do while wearing a butt plug? This is a question I see pop up on google searches all the time and questions posed on Fetlife and other kink sites that I read regularly. The answer is you can do almost anything while wearing a butt plug, and quite frankly it's nonsense or inexperience or lack of knowledge to think that butt plugs could fall out so easily doing almost any activity. The other worry, which might be a little more realistic, is that the butt plug will migrate inside the rectum and start its journey to the black hole of Calcutta.

This is one of the activities you an do with a good plug
inside your ass, and it won't fall out.

I don't doubt that some men have difficulty keeping a plug from falling out, but there are two things to consider here: 1. Make sure there is ample differential between the egg portion of the plug and the diameter of the shaft. A plug that isn't shaped more or less like the classic plug with a wide head and a narrow shaft are going to fall out, or blow out with a good sneeze or fart. 2. Just how loose is your sphincter if a properly shaped plug falls out so easily. I'm thinking guys who get fist-fucked often are going to have trouble holding in even a well-designed plug. And if they're used to having an arm all the way up to the elbow, then even a good-sized plug with a wide base is just going to be sucked into the rectum.

These are badly designed plugs because either there is no shaft or the shaft and the plug are too close in size:

If you want to engage in various activities while wearing a butt plug, go for something like this:

Your sphincter will slam shut
once the head of this baby
gets past it.

Other things you can do while plugged are just simply endless. I do everything I normally do while living plugged. I just love to walk around town wearing my plug, and put a little wiggle in my walk. I love to sit on a park bench and watch people walk past. I love driving while wearing a plug, going to the movies, bending over in the grocery aisles, sleeping with a plug. You can ride a bicycle, swim, run...anything. Just make sure the plug is designed well and that your ass is not stretched out from frequent fist-fuckings. Make sure the base is similarly as wide as the plug portion, so you won't lose it inside.

Keep watching...he gets into plugging in a minute. Nice hard cock, and the face ain't too bad, either.

Dry Butt Plugging is Great

I wear my plug dry...

I know I'm revisiting this subject, and I also know that experienced butt pluggers usually lead with the advice to frequently lube the anus, since the rectum is not self lubricating. And I would tend to agree that lube is an important consideration when using plugs and dildos, and even getting fucked in the ass by a real cock. We do not want the anal skin, especially the sphincter and inside to tear or suffer stress. But wearing a glass (or steel) plug for the sake of living plugged is quite different.

I usually clean my rectum after a BM with a tissue containing aloe vera, a water based "lube" that is also healing to sensitive skin. Once that is done and I wipe the area clean and dry it, I then make sure that my glass plug is also clean, freshly washed with soap and water, and that it is therefore nice and naturally slick. I do have to squat so that my shaved butt cheeks pull apart, allowing access to my anal opening. I press the dry but naturally slick head of the glass plug against my freshly clean and dry anal opening. Once the tip of the plug begins to push the sphincter open, I continue a slow but firm pressure, and I can tell you that feeling the cold glass enter my sphincter and rectum completely dry is a pleasure in itself. Once I get the wide part of the plug into the sphincter opening (two full inches) the final push into the rectum is slick and smooth, and I can feel it pop into place.

The next feeling is having all the parts, including the sphincter muscles and the walls of the rectum close around the plug, welcoming it home and creating a solid plug. During the day, I can easily fart around the plug but nothing is getting out of the ass except gas.

Shortly after re-plugging, when my rectum is clean, I can hardly think of anything else except the wonderful feeling of being solidly plugged. Readers of this blog will recall that I also enjoyed a lubed ass, since the plug would move up when I sat down and slip down (but never out) when I stood up. That was a great feeling, as well. But I like the dry feel, the solid placement of the plug. It doesn't move up and down independent of the natural movement of the flesh around it. I can actually stay plugged without maintenance a lot longer, and really only remove the plug for any reason about every 12 hours, even longer.

New subject. A straight guy who calls himself "Research" has been a favorite of mine. He has conducted reviews of anal plugs and other toys for at least three years for EdenFantasies. But I recently ran across a video he did of himself using anal toys, and so I have skipped the order of the vids I have lined up to show his video. This is a straight guy who really gets into anal play, and it bears out what I have been saying: straight men should be able to enjoy the pleasure of anal play on their own asses. It doesn't mean you're not really straight; I quickly add that this has nothing to do with the absolute beauty of gay men who are also into anal play. I'm one of those. Anyway, here is "Resarch's" video for your pleasure:

Living Plugged Means...

I'm plugged during the holidays

There might be something some men who like to plug might find wrong with being plugged for the holidays, like sitting in church for Religious holiday programs, lighting the tree and other iconic religious activities, even opening presents on Christmas morning with the family, a lover, relatives, friends.

His plug is barely detectable
But it looks really good

But to live plugged, one just has to carry on with a butt plug in the ass, even at times of prayer, caroling, opening gifts. At least that's how I feel about staying plugged at such times. My partner of twenty-three years and I lovingly opened gifts this morning, our eyes tearing up at the special significance of this gift or that. I was plugged. I enjoyed even that moment. Later we will be joining other family for the big Christmas even, including Christmas dinner, opening gifts, hugging one another, and all the usual holiday events. I'll hug the elderly ladies in the family, shake hands with the men, all while being plugged. That's just the way it is to "live plugged."

This will be my third Christmas wearing a butt plug during this time. In December of 2012, of course, I was trying to stay plugged as much as possible, but I hadn't quite found the right butt plug and had not worked out the issues of IBS. But by Christmas of 2013, it was all good. By then I had been living plugged 24/7 for nine months. And by this Christmas of 2014, of course, I've been plugged 24/7/365 for a year and nine months. Recall I unplugged for a 10-day road trip to see how I fared and how difficult it would be as soon as I got back to re-insert the two-inch diameter plug. I also wanted to see if my sphincter grew as tight as it had been before I started wearing a butt plug regularly.

Som guys WANT to be stretched permanently. I never want to lose the ability to hold an enema in as I shave or brush my teeth, so I realized that my man hole was stretched somewhat and didn't tighten back to its former tightness when I didn't wear a plug for ten days. It will either take more time unplugged for that to happen, or I have permanently loosened my sphincter just a little bit.

Nonetheless, I love how I can remove the plug for a BM and the man hole feels soft and yielding to the touch of my fingers, and readily accepts three fingers for the ritual exploration.

So this holiday season I am celebrating my secret plugging life. I just plain love it. One reader says that he doesn't see the point of staying plugged because after a few hours it's just a non experience. I understand that. During much of the day, I'm just plugged. It's comfortable and there are not sensual tinges to remind me that I'm plugged, but for me that is not the point. Living plugged is almost a lifestyle choice, one that I enjoy. I've read of men who have plugged for fifty years, who are now elderly, or middle aged men who started thirty years ago and claim that they are more or less plugged 24/7. Some straight men who are long-term pluggers cite the same reasons as I do for enjoying it. After a year and nine months as this point, I'm just as thrilled and giddy with a plug in my ass as I was in April of 2013 when I started this journey.

This vid is a full length movie! Enjoy.

Butt Plugs and Exercising

How I use my butt plug to exercise.

I'm a little overweight and I have some groin fat that is difficult to get rid of once it shows up. It's the kind of padding above the cock and balls that tends to hide the magnificence of a man's genitals. The cock looks smaller than it is, and I use my nice, hard glass plug to enhance my groin and ass exercises. It would probably also work with a silicon plug, and in a way it involves kegal exercises, but more than that it draws the muscles beneath the groin fat in and out.

Nothing takes the place of strong strides when walking, or stretching out while running, but without that or without a daily regimen of walking and running, I use the pleasures that come from being constantly plugged to encourage me to exercise my abdominal and groin muscles. Once again, if you are reading this, try to move your consciousness down into your genital area, ass, and front—and feel that plug in your ass. Imagine as you walk that the longer, harder strides you take, the more exercise you will get to the soft areas that need to be exercised. The glass in the ass will not yield, and with a one-inch diameter shaft, when you're walking you can clinch the muscles around the plug. First it feels intensely great, but it also strengthens the butt muscles, and walking while clinched, relaxed, clinched, also encourages faster walking. I also like to stand in place and do what appears to people walking past that I am merely stretching, bending, and otherwise loosening my muscles, when in fact, I am putting hard pressure and hard stretching on my groin. The plug enhances those feelings, much better than nothing in the ass.

Spread those legs. I've noted that men who are really into wearing butt plugs like to stick their rears out and go into positions that spread the butt cheeks, as if getting ready to be fucked. With the butt plug in place, you're already being fucked. They (we) also like to open our legs wide, showing off our hard cocks and low-hanging ball sacs. For the onlooker, it's a visual thrill to see a man with a hard cock with his legs wide open; for the man doing that, it's definitely beneficial to moving all those muscles, both stretching them and contracting them as he opens and closes his legs.

Even when I get out of bed in the morning, clinching my abdominal and ass muscles motivates me to exaggerate my movements. Every exaggerated movement feels wonderful with the plug working inside of me. When I'm driving in my car, I can rock my pelvis forward and back, clinch, relax, clinch, and it feels great. It also works the groin area.

I like to squat down, spreading my butt cheeks and feel the plug being pulled into my ass. The ring base, of course prevents it from disappearing into my rectum, and the pressure on the sphincter not only feels great, but it also is beneficial to the muscles.

When I sit down or stand up, I clinch and work my pelvic muscles, and so every movement enhances the feelings of being plugged. When I sit down to shit, I love knowing that I first have to pull the two-inch wide plug through my anal opening, where it will stretch out the sphincter to two inches. That's easily three fingers wide. Nowadays, when I pass waste, I'm often surprised that I barely feel the true size of the BM (usually nice two-inch torpedo-shaped and six and eight-inches long) and I'm done. A little clean up and I ram the plug home for the next 12 or so hours.

The point is, I constantly use my plug to motivate me to exaggerate all my movements having to do with the lower trunk and that delicious crotch between my legs.

I just love knowing that when you leave a guy alone at home, he's going to masturbate and otherwise come up with some way to work that ass, like the guy in the video. Yummm...

Exploring the Man Hole

I mean the rectum...

What I love about this (yeah,
besides the dildo action) is
the shaved naked look.

Before I took a shower today, I did some careful and close shaving to my cock, balls, and anus. I know some guys like the fur and some guys like how much more naked you feel when you're shaved. I'm one of the latter. Bald as a badger. I enjoyed removing the plug and just really getting my fingers into my rectum after I shaved my man hole. I spent quite a bit of time exploring the hole and feeling around inside.

It was really sexy that my fingers came out clean, and that's after having the plug in overnight and through the afternoon. It's been said that the rectum isn't self lubing, and while that is no doubt true, I often run a finger full of aloe vera in there when I'm prepping my rectum for an enema. Once I've expelled the water (I never use anything but water in my enema), and dry my anal opening off, wash the glass plug and dry it off, there's enough aloe still in my rectum, I suppose, that even 12 hours later my rectum is still "wet." And when the plug comes out clean, and I can't feel any turd up inside, I can just stick the plug back in and go for another ten or so hours.

Off and on in these posts I've tackled the graphic facts of plugging, including the inevitable natural process of defecating. This is unavoidable, so you have to get used to the fact that you're going to have to deal with the brown stuff now and then if you're going to live plugged. No, I don't like it, but the glass plug cleans up easily.

Just....yummy!

Anyway, you also can't have loose bowels, and you definitely can't wear a plug when you have the runs. I know the name implies that you can, but you will have crises if you go out in public plugged and with the runs.

Pay attention to your gut, too, the part of the intestines that might hurt or feel uncomfortable when a BM is imminent. Don't attempt to stay plugged if your gut is trying to tell you something. Tonight, I'm going out (plugged) to have enchiladas. I can assure you that there's danger of a crisis; but I can't help but enjoy and tempt the gods as a result of eating Mexican food.

At any rate, I had a good shaving session before my shower. I enjoyed toying with my man hole and rectum, I enjoyed the enema, and now I'm enjoying my plug sitting up in there, feeling the sphincter attempt to close around the one-inch shaft, and I'm enjoying the tingle of an erection, along with a little leaking of precum.

Be on the Lookout for Men Wearing Butt Plugs in Your Neighborhood

I'm now a Butt Plug Spy

You can become a butt plug detective, too!

Even when I first tried a butt plug back in the 1990s, I was fascinated by the encouragement on the box it came in, to wear it safely for long periods of time. It even said, "Go out and play tennis!" And actually, once I inserted the plug and it settled into my rectum, and the sphincter closed around the shaft, it did feel good, and from that moment, I wondered how long I could wear the plug. It was one of those classic shaped plugs, like a cone with a rubber base.  Back then I wasn't aware of any different materials and I wore that plug off and on for weeks, but of course I did have difficulty wearing it for more than a few hours at a time. I did wear it on a driving trip to my son's wedding and had to stop a couple of hundred miles down the road and remove it. And then the night I arrived at my destination, I slept in it and had weird dreams. But by then, I was able to work around the irritation of the rubber base on my anal opening.

Now that's just a little ancient history of my butt plugging fun almost twenty years ago!

I started up again around December 2012, and by April of 2013, I had found a plug design and glass material that went in, stayed in, and was always comfortable. Since that time, I have become a man's butt man. Yes, I'm gay, and I like to look at men's butts as they pass by in my neighborhood, as I go shopping, and as guys come into the restaurants. Name a place and I'm on duty as a butt plug detective, hoping to spy the give-away outline of a plug in a man's ass. I like to look at young men's asses, old men's butts, fat, thin, and in between. I like the shape of men's butts, and if you're straight, sorry, but I'm going to be looking at your butt, as well, as you walk away or pass within my sight. You probably won't know that your butt is being stared at, or if you're verging on psychic, you might feel a tingling sensation right there in the middle of your butt hole  as I focus my attention on your ass.

Men don't have to be naked, either, for me to enjoy looking.

Now I have to confess that I just don't know why I like living every day and night with a plug in my ass. I just do. It has a pacifier effect, I suppose. It concentrates my focus as I walk and stand outside talking to passersby. I've never understood the "fullness" some butt pluggers talk about, but it could be the "solidly plugged" feeling I get when I'm wearing a plug dry. I like the nice hard feeling the glass shaft has keeping my sphincter partly open, and when I clinch at night in bed, it sends signals to my cock to stiffen. Some nights I keep my cock hard and pull the foreskin back and thumb the head of my cock, to keep it pulsing, almost to orgasm, but I back off and go through the cycle again. During the day the foreskin stays slick. 

Again,  I urge all men to get in touch with your butt hole, your sphincter, your prostate from the inside, your rectum; fill it with a plug, and go play tennis!

Butt Plug Issues

Why Can't I Keep My Butt Plug In?

Over the course of the last two years, on numerous sex forums that I keep up with, I've noticed that many men are not getting the memo about how to comfortably wear a butt plug, except for short term fuck sessions.

They say that after awhile they feel discomfort, their skin gets irritated, they can't sit down for various reasons, but the number one complaint is they can't keep the butt plug in; they have to wear straps, and otherwise force that sucker to stay in place. Others have freaked out because the plug goes up into the rectum, on its way to dark hole of Calcutta.

Reasons for discomfort
I'm sorry, but I am not convinced that silicone plugs can be as comfortable as glass and metal when it comes to skin irritation around the anal opening. It takes frequent lubing to keep the base and shaft of the silicon plug from rubbing you the wrong way. If you've not tried metal or glass, consider switching.

The shape and size of the butt plug can also cause discomfort. If you're going to go long term, say twelve hours, you cannot wear a plug that is going to take up a lot of space in your rectum. Simply put, you're going to suffer gas buildup, fecal crowding, and get your prostate massaged TOO MUCH.

If your ass is greedy and wants bigger and bigger plugs, go for it, but you will not be able to use those monsters when you go out dancing, bike riding, doing yard work, and going shopping.

Consider the base of the butt plug. Any design, where the plug is glass, metal, or silicone where the base of the plug sits perpendicular to the butt cheeks is going to cause irritation. I personally think a base on a plug that is shoved up a man's ass is sexy as hell looking, but those designs will irritate the longer you try to wear them. So far, a circular base that fits between the butt cheeks like a coin in a slot is the best I have found. Second to that (for me) is the NJOY plugs with their oval base. And finally a ball base or a T-shaped base might allow comfort for a longer period of time.

Reasons for plugs falling out, or climbing into the rectum

Guys, this plug will not stay in, nor will similarly designed
plugs.

A DILDO is NOT a butt plug. Dildos are designed for maximum butt fucking. And I have to admit, a big dildo can be pleasurable for a short term butt pounding. But the reason why a dildo is not good for long term wear is there is no shaft, around which the sphincter can squeeze shut to hold the dildo in place. But that also goes for a poorly designed butt plug that doesn't have enough differential between the size of the bulb that goes inside the rectum and the size of the shaft. There should be at least a 2:1 ratio between the widest part of the plug that goes inside the rectum and the shaft, which is held in place by the sphincter muscles. A two-inch bulb should have no more than a one-inch shaft.

The plug will not fall out if there is this ratio between the bulb and the shaft—unless of course your sphincters are stretched and "ruined" from fisting and huge dildo fucks. I know that some guys want to destroy the ass, and that's fine, but it's not if you're going to wear a plug when you go out for the evening or sit at work plugged.

And finally, too much lube can allow the circle base to slip inside and go past the sphincter and begin its climb into your body. Early on, I had a couple of crises when I was using too much lube—so much lube, in fact, that I had to wear double the briefs and boxers to keep the oily stain from soaking through and showing on my jeans.

Too much prostate massage

You will eventually feel overwhelmed if the design of your plug keeps pressing against the prostate without relief. At the very least, you'll keep feeling like you have to pee. More pleasurably but kind of messy is you'll keep leaking precum into your underwear. When that happens to me, I like to collect it on my finger and lick it up.

As most of you probably know, I have found long-term plugging Nirvana with this plug, here. It has an angled head, which I wear away from the prostate. The differential between the head of the plug and the shaft is 2:1, and the ring base fits between my butt cheeks like a coin in a slot. It's surprisingly easy to sit down on, which almost looks counter-intuitive. Also note that the ring base also has a 2:1 differential to the shaft.

No, I am not advocating for this plug above all others for long-term plugging. But I am advocating for this design or something similar. You might feel hesitant to wear glass in your ass. Try metal instead.

But I digress. The overall design of plugs that are ideal for long-term wear of twelve or more hours has an angled head, so that you can wear it away from your prostate, has a shaft that is twice as narrow as the bulb that goes inside the rectum, and has either a ring base (not a round base that sits perpendicular to your butt cheeks), an oval base, a ball base, or a T-base. And any of these need to be likewise twice as big as the shaft.

Three Phases of Living plugged

So far, now into one year and eight months of living plugged, I've experienced three phases of staying plugged 24/7/365 (with minor exceptions here and there). I don't remember the exact number of months I stayed in one phase and then drifted into another phase. But so far there have been three:

1. Learning to live plugged
In this phase I had to learn how to control my digestion, had several near crises when I was out in public with my plug in place and ended up having to do clean up in a public toilet. I learned which foods rushed through my system and which ones were slower to digest. I also went through three different plugs. Actually I tried out five different plugs, including the months from December 2012 through April 2013, where I first got a silicone plug shaped like a cone. My next plug was the stainless steel NJOY, which is when I began plugging 24/7. This was followed by a blue glass plug with a ring base.

2. Settling in comfortably plugged
In this phase I went from the blue plug (it's head was only 1.5 inches in diameter with a thin shaft) to the Devi Prisms glass plug, with a 2 inch head, but still a thin shaft. About one-half-inch to three-quarter inches in diameter. I used this one through most of this phase, but I knew my ass could take a bigger plug. As it turned out, I went to the Icicles #14 plug. The only difference was that the shaft was one-inch in diameter and the head was still only two inches. However, I discovered that the fatter shaft, continually keeping my sphincter open a full inch provided the greatest pleasure. Once the head gets past the sphincter the only thing it stimulates with any real feeling is the prostate; but living plugged requires that I turn the angled head away from the prostate, and so essentially, the most pleasure and feeling came from the shaft.

In this phase was when I wore a pair of briefs next to my ass, and on top of that I wore a pair of boxers. I did this, because in this phase I was lubing with both water-based gel and silicone based lube. In this phase, I also perfected my dosage of Imodium to keep my digestion slow, so that my BMs were nice and firm and big. You can feel it move out of the rectum, and the tissue comes away clean.

3. The Icicles #14 plug with the larger shaft
This phase overlaps the second phase, and I attribute this phase to the perfect shape and size of the Icicles #14. A reader wrote to tell me that he was disappointed, because after awhile he said he could barely tell the plug was there, and I'm supposing that he wanted to feel stimulated to near orgasm all the time. Each of us likes to use butt plugs for different reasons. In the short-term use, it seems to me that the whole point of using a plug is to stimulate the anus and prostate during sex, so that ejaculation is powerful and intense. For maybe 12-hour plugging or sleeping plugged, the point is still to massage the prostate, and so when wearing the Icicles, the NJOY or other similarly shaped plug (with an angled head) you could say that the user is "edging" and will end this longer-term plugging session with an ejaculation.

But when I'm living plugged, the point of ejaculation is completely irrelevant. There's just something about having a plug in my ass, no matter what I'm doing that brings the more subtle pleasure. Further, in this third phase, I have gone dry (or almost dry), now into my third month. In this phase, keeping my dosage of Imodium up and watching what I eat, I have such clean BMs that I more often than not don't even have to do an enema; so in this phase, you could say that keeping the glass plug in my ass has become the most natural. By now the glass plug is home in my ass and there are no issues. I can tell by certain feelings that a BM is imminent, and the sooner that I take care of that, the easier it is to replug without much clean up. Nine times out of ten the plug comes out of my ass clean and dry, and it goes right back in after my business with just a lick of spit. My rectum is never uncomfortable with the dry plug.

Phase 4?
Who knows what's next in living plugged. I have never tired of keeping a plug in my ass and I'm reminded of being plugged throughout the day and night. There's a bit of a secret thrill of going about my day with a plug in my ass and talking to people, sitting in restaurants, the theater, walking, driving that just keeps me going. I'm sure that a psychiatrist would have a field-day with my desire to keep the plug inside of me. I'm also sure that anti-gay and anti-anal preachers would like to claim that I now have to stay plugged. But that is not the case. I cannot really tell you why this is the most lovely thing to be plugged all the time. I'm sure it could also be called a festish, but really...so what?
