With the proper preparations, anyone can explore anal pleasure. Lubricant is all you need to get started. To level up — for solo exploration, for partner play, or to prepare for anal sex — you should choose a body-safe sex toy that can be safely inserted and removed, and that will remain in place as long as you want it there.After putting in more than 75 cumulative hours of research, including reading medical literature and speaking with nine experts on anal sex, we continue to recommend the stainless steel Njoy Pure Plug.This beautiful all-metal butt plug causes no friction when used with lube, offers feelings of fullness (and, for some people, prostate stimulation), and stays firmly in place after insertion. A ring on the flared base makes this toy easier to grip than most. It’s available in three sizes, it’s absurdly easy to clean, and it doesn’t retain unpleasant smells.
