Butt plugs

[Blue_Monday]

Thanks for all the information! My two cents on lubes...

Slippery Stuff is awesome. It's water-based, but thicker and heavier than something like KY. Also, it has absolutely NO taste (probably not an issue with anal, as some have mentioned). Someone in a shop told me that unlike many sweet-tasting lubes, it contains no sugar, which is good because sugar can encourage yeast in the nether regions. Unlike an oil-based lube, it does eventually dry up, but I find that it gets a lot less sticky than KY or Astroglide.

As for soothing irritation (or a fun sensation)--I once had a little backside rash that I treated with Gold Bond cream. It was like ice on my butt! It soothed the itch and would, I imagine, help pain. I don't know how good it would feel inside the anus, but it would be worth a try. I also use Orabase (a topical analgesic) fairly frequently for canker sores, and I think that would be safe and effective on the butt.

Personally, I would caution against using numbing creams for getting someone used to anal play. I'm a small girl, and with normal lube and a safe, comfortable setting, I've never had any problems with anal--a normal butt should be able to accommodate a normal penis when it's relaxed. Admit it; everyone poops something that large at one time or another. I think using a numbing agent could actually do more harm than good, because if there is damage being done, the numbee won't notice it until it's too late.
