Benefits and Side Effects
With every habit and continuous activity comes benefits and side effects, and living plugged is no exception. Although I have gone through almost twenty-five years where I regularly used dildos and butt plugs, it is within the last six years that I have lived with a butt plug in my rectum day and night, 24/7/365—almost. But enough to qualify as living plugged. You can't really show images of a plugged rectum, only what shows on the outside at the anal opening. But I can tell by feel alone that the plug I use (shaped just like an egg and about 2-inches in diameter at the widest place) is not stretching out the walls of the sphincter, nor it is crowding past the prostate and pushing against the sigmoid colon. The sigmoid colon is where feces is prepared for eventual elimination, and once it is "ready" autonomic muscles attempt to release the waste into the rectum, which is usually quite clean until the bowel movement event.
The egg sits atop a shaft that is about two inches long and is 0.75 inches in diameter. It is a good contrast to the wide part of the egg, allowing the sphincter to accept the egg inside the rectum and then close tightly around the shaft, thus preventing the plug from slipping out unexpectedly. The shaft is attached to a "donut", which is two inches in diameter and thus will not push past the sphincter and enter the rectum, for the same reason, the sphincter is closed tightly around the 0.75 inch shaft.
The plug is angled. To "live" plugged 24/7 I turn the head of the plug away from the prostate to avoid having it massaged all the time. If I'm having sex, I simply turn the plug around and let it massage the prostate as I am sucking cock, and as my erection grows and hardens, the plug enhances the moment. But, again, to live plugged, I really don't want to reach climaxes too often. Now that I am living alone, I rarely turn the head to massage the prostate.
Living plugged (t least with a comfortable size and material) will not cause a ruined sphincter, nor incontinence, nor what is known as anal prolapse, where the rectum will fall outside the body, and yet those of us who look at images and videos of anal play, but especially "fisting" and monster dildos and butt plugs, might be led to believe that these are the unpleasant, unwanted side effects of living with a butt plug in the rectum. There are those, both men and women who actually engage in anal destruction and stretching to the point of seemingly no return. They do it on purpose and "destroy" their assholes with purpose.
But there are side effects that I have noticed. One is that while my erections are still nice and hard my ejaculations are not as powerful as they were a few years ago. This may be the effect of growing older but it could be a side-effect of wearing the plug. On the other hand, one of the definite benefits of living plugged is that my hemorrhoids have never returned after I cured them in 2013 when I first started wearing the plug all the time. I'm also sure that just wearing the plug a lot and not constantly would have the same benefit. Related to this is that when I had to get off the plug for several months because of my changing diet and work routine (until the job was finished and until I controlled my diet better) was that the roids didn't return and my anus continued to feel healthy, and was fun to play with in the bath or in bed, and I just bided my time until I could get my plug back in my rectum.
Gaping is not a side effect nor a benefit of using a plug. I used to be able to gape by just playing with my anus and I could relax the sphincter until it stayed open. It used to drive my (then) boyfriend to distraction as he watched. But prolapse is a side effect of using dildos and plugs that are too big to do anything but ruin the ass hole. This is sometimes sought, but just between you and me, it's not something I want. I don't knock those who want to do this, but I find it scary; nor do I want to be incontinent. The other morning I had quite a lot of water in my anus and was not plugged. I walked around the bathroom, fed the cats, brushed my teeth, etc. while giving the enema a chance to work, and I held the water in my rectum after sitting on the toilet, until I was read to release it. So my form of plugging and living with a plug in my rectum, made of a certain material, size, and shape has not made me in the least incontinent.
Finally, the ongoing benefit of living plugged, to me, is the overall sense of contentment I feel, every time I squeeze my sphincter, stand up, sit down, feel the plug inside how ever faintly.
And now let's watch something mind-blowing and fun!
