FAQs About Using A Vibrator Anally
If you’re curious about using a vibrator in the butt, you’re likely full of questions — and we’ll answer them below.
Why Does A Vibrator In The Ass Feel Good For Guys?
In general, the ass is genderless.
We all have nerve endings that don’t get a lot of attention — and when the anus is stimulated with a finger or a vibrator it can be pretty arousing, at least for some people.
But for cis-guys, and anyone with a prostate, a vibrator up the butt taps their infamous P-spot.
The prostate gland is part of the male reproductive system and is located between the rectum and the base of the penis.
When stimulated just right, like with a vibrator, a guy can experience mind-blowing, explosive orgasms — and possibly even multiple orgasms.
What Would Happen If You Put A Tiny Vibrator In Your Ass?
The only tiny vibrator in your ass should be a small butt plug, prostate massager, or anal beads with a wide base.
Anything else — like a bullet vibrator, for instance — could easily get stuck up your butt.
Even worse, if it’s small enough, your vibrator could be lost up your ass.
If you can’t get it out on your own, you will need to go to the emergency room.
What Happens If You Lose Your Vibrator In Your Ass While It’s On?
An injury is possible if a vibrator is stuck in your butt for too long — or gets stuck while on too high of a setting or without enough lube.
Dr. Milstein, the human sexuality health educator we spoke with earlier, said that if the vibrator “doesn’t stay lubed, you can have issues not only with discomfort but rectal perforation and internal bleeding.”
If a vibrator becomes lost in your butt — first, try not to panic, as tensing up could actually send your vibrator further into your rectum.
Next, if your vibrator uses a remote or an app, go ahead and turn it off.
This will help to reduce the risk of internal injury.
Now it’s time to try to get your vibrator out very carefully.
You’re going to need to try to push it out, slowly and carefully.
This will feel like you’re doing a massive number two (having a bowel movement) — or for those with experience — like you’re pushing out a baby.
By bearing down, you or your partner may be able to reach into your ass (yep, I said it) and pull out the vibrator.
If that doesn’t work, head straight to the ER.
Getting it out may require surgery, and you don’t want to wait any longer than necessary.
How Long Can You Keep A Vibrator Running In Your Anus?
You can keep a vibrator in your ass as long as it’s comfortable and well-lubed.
Dr. Milstein said that “you can keep a vibrator in all day” if it is comfortable for you to do so.
“As long as you keep it lubed up it’s not about time, it’s about comfort,” she explained.
You shouldn’t feel pain, but you also shouldn’t feel numb.
Numbness can be a sign of loss of blood flow just as much as pain can mean you’re injured back there.
Use your body’s signals as your guide, because everyone’s body is different — one person may tolerate anal vibration for 5 minutes while another can leave their vibrator running for an hour or more.
How Deep Do You Put A Vibrator In Your Ass?
You can safely insert an anal vibrator as far as it will go — until the base of the vibrator touches your butt — or until you’ve reached your limit of personal comfort.
Whichever comes first.
Ultimately, the depth of your vibrator’s insertion should be based on what feels good to you.
People with lots of anal experience may be able to handle longer, thicker toys while newbies may only be able to handle an inch or two at most.
Again, it’s about how comfortable everything feels.
If you feel pain or anything other than fan-fucking-tastic, you’ve gone too deep.
What Size Vibrator Feels Good In Your Ass?
Any size vibrator can feel good, but it often depends on your experience level and how your body handles anal penetration.
For newbies, start small and only try larger toys when (and if!) you want to.
If you’re feeling less than satisfied with the stimulation from your usual anal vibrator, and you’ve changed the settings or you’re not getting the stretch or the full feeling you prefer, it may be time to move up a size.
Moving up to bigger vibrators in increments, as this will save you from feeling unnecessary discomfort and pain when you play.
