What Is The History Of Butt Plug Sex Toys?

There has been a lot of evidence regarding the use of butt plugs prior to the 1800s. Centuries ago, the idea of anal play and other sex toys came into play and has been in the minds of many people ever since. The concept of anal pleasureis not anything new. It was a practice that was called "figging" in ancient years where a peeled ginger was made to look and shape like a butt plug where it could be used in the butt and vagina. It was limited to genital, dildo and manual penetration. The concept of 'figging,' at that time was also used as a form of torture and punishment, but soon after was conformed into what we call 'bondage' and 'kinky sex' today. Even most recently, it would have been thought to be instrumental in BDSM play.

Let's be clear, though, the butt plug as we know it today is shaped to fit the anatomy and you could easily say it is cone shaped. It can be used in the butt and vagina. Its flanged base makes it easy to use and keep outside of the genitals so it does not slip too far inside and it is also easy to retrieve. In ancient times, 'figging' did not allow the user to push the ginger too far in because it would be so much harder to retrieve. The butt plug that is used for medical use is different from the butt plug, but it has more things similar than different. During the prehistory era, the users had little choices as they do now. Today, butt plugs have a variety of shape, length and width. Before, it was one basic shape and one basic material used to make it. In other words, there were fewer choices.

Silicone Butt Plug

The earliest butt plug example was the rectal dilator introduced by Dr. Frank E. Young from Canton, Ohio. This butt plug was patented in 1893 and packaged to include several parts of varying sizes. These dilators used in the rectum were originally made of rubber. It had a long tip, flanged end and straight tube. The instructions were for the user to incorporate Vaseline or some kind of lubricant prior to insertion. Dr. Young's rectal dilator, between 1893 and 1940 was used to treat hemorrhoids or to relieve constipation, but soon after, the idea came to use them for sexual pleasure.

There is a rule of thumb as to your choice of butt plugs with flared bases. Be sure to check for its safe use on the body. Silicone is usually the material that is safe. It is your responsibility to ensure safety. The Kinsey Institute has confirmed that silicone is one of the safest materials to consider in comparison to steel or glass. This is especially true, if you are a beginner. Another rule of thumb as it relates to butt plugs is to purchase smaller ones as a beginner and then move up to larger ones as you get accustomed to the idea of having a silicone butt plug inside of you. In other words, work your way to the size the meets your particular needs.

Rectal Dilator

History has indicated that it must have taken a genius to consider the manufacturing of a rectal dilator or butt plug or any other sex toy for that matter. It took many visionaries to create the things that we are using today and butt plugs are no different. Dr. Frank Young is the one who created the rectal dilator, even though; he did it for the treatment of constipation and hemorrhoids. It was in the 1800s that he created the butt plug. It was accepted by many, but was not thought to be used for anal play during that era. As time advanced (prior to 1962) people were being charged for sodomy as a felony in each state across the United States. And so, butt plugs were used for therapeutic reasons in the same way that Dr. Young's was used for other reasons than anal play. The rectal dilators during the 1800s were sold for $2.50, which was an affordable price for such a device. Later on, Dr. Young began advertising this rod-like device as a device to cure all; medical or otherwise. The user would typically start with the smallest rod and then work their way up to the large kahuna.

It was not long after creating the rectal dilator that Dr. Young started to experience success in business. In fact, his device evolved over time. It was first made of rubber, plastic and then aluminum. In addition, they were made in various sizes and some of them were even packaged as sets. However, soon after they started to become popular, the authorities banned them from being sold to the public. One of the reasons was the stigma attached to butt plugs at that time. The authorities thought that they were being falsely advertised, especially for sexual arousal. The legal system believed that Dr. Young was stretching the truth a bit.

As time went by and more inventors started to use the age of technology to come out with more products, butt plugs were born along with sex machines and other memorable sex toys. For instance, Otto Tuchenhagen, a German inventor made the sex machine that allowed users to be whipped during a bondage episode. This machine came out in the 1970s.

Anal Jewelry

Butt plugs and other sex toys are made of a wide range of materials with the most common ones being silicone and latex. Some are also made of neoprene, metal, wood, stone and glass; among others. Silicone seems to be the most popular. Did you know that there were butt plugs created for the fun of squirting water as if it were an episode of ejaculation? You even have some that expand and inflate. There are others that were designed specifically for the stimulation of the prostate. In the 1970s, there were anal plugs manufactured with animal tail or long hair attached to the toy's base. These devices looked like a pony, but were used for anal play or role play as it related to animal fantasy. Today, the same butt plugs are available, but for electrical stimulation instead of manual.

If you were to choose anal jewelry for your sexual play, you would have a wide variety of choices. Some have a bulbous-like end that you would insert in the anus. The decorated base would remain outside. Anal jewelry is made using stainless steel, which you can wear as long as you want to keep it inside. It makes the anus feel full while you enjoy the pleasure that it brings.
