The anal region is rich in sensitive nerve endings, making it a pleasure gold mine. Luckily, there are numerous anal toys for men on the market, and their use isn't taboo anymore. Whether you're a starter or a legend of the game, there's something for everyone. And while it might be intimidating, anal play becomes more enjoyable as your body gets used to the experience.
As you'll probably notice, anal toys have a flared base to prevent them from accidentally getting lost in your rectum. Yes. It happens. They also come in varying sizes and are made from different materials to meet your specific needs. So, here are three types of anal toys for men you should try:
Prostate Massagers
Prostate stimulation is one of the most underutilized sources of pleasure for men. Women have always gone the extra mile to stimulate their G-spot, but men haven't been as active with the culture conflating anal play and prostate massage with gay and bi men. It doesn't have to be that way, though, because prostate massagers provide as much stimulation for men as G-spot vibrators do for women.
Most importantly, there are numerous options to choose from. Whether you want a vibrating or non-vibrating massager, the choice is yours. Some also come with a remote controller or dedicated mobile app, so you don't have to remove it to control the rumbles.
Butt Plugs
As an ideal sex toy for anyone with an anus, butt plugs can either be used for foreplay or self-pleasuring. They're significantly smaller than prostate massagers and are shaped like a teardrop with a flared base to prevent them from being sucked in too far.
What I like most about butt plugs are their dynamic use and discreet size. You can either use one for P-spot stimulation, explore kink, or prepare your ass for a bigger toy or anal sex. Either way, a butt plug does the job perfectly, and you can even wear it out of the house as you go on with your daily activities.

Anal Beads
Anal beads are designed to stimulate the sensitive nerves at the entrance of your butt. However, anal beads are popped in and out one at a time — not the whole thing at once. The sensation comes from graduating from one bead to the other, usually at varying speeds to heighten the sensation.
Most anal beads have beads of different sizes, usually getting bigger as you move towards the handle. This allows both newbies and experienced anal play enthusiasts to enjoy this exquisite sex toy. But there's more; you don't have to use the entirety of the toy. Push in what your body can handle and 'swallow' more as time goes by. What's more, you can use the remaining beads to stimulate your perineum -the combined sensation of rubbing the perineum and popping the beads into your anus is heavenly.
This guide has a lot of good information about anal beads.
In conclusion, anal toys are a great way for men to explore their sexuality. For a long time, society has pinned the notion that anal toys are a reserve for gay and bi men, and that's far from the truth. Besides the nerves at the entrance of your anus, prostate owners can also benefit from P-spot stimulation — a unique sensation that comes from rubbing your prostate. Of course, it might be intimidating at first, and you might need a little more lube, but the feeling that comes with anal play is worth it.
