Um, from what I know, your hubby is right. Not sure though, haven't tried them. Anal isn't my thing

Yes they are used for that reason

Butt plugs have many uses, but primarily they are used to provide the wearer with a full feeling that many find exciting and arousing. There is something about having something in your 'naughty place' while having sex or even going about your day that many find to be very exciting.

Of course they are also used for anal training or anal sex preparation as mentioned earlier.

I have also heard of using butt-plugs as a method of preparing for anal sex. I personally have not used them, although I love anal.

whilst tidying up my 19 year old sons room again! I came across a load of different sized butt plugs, beads and lube in my sons drawer. I was putting his clean clothes away and I feel absolutly sick. I'm no prude, but he hasnt got a girl friend and I wonder if he ever will have if he is into kinky sex already! He is totally against gays, so I'm almost sure its not preperation for gay sex, but I can't talk to anyone about it, as I feel its not healthy in one so young. I'd prefer him to be having sex with girls, than locking him self away amuse him self.
He seems so normal when you talk to him, but I'm so upset, I fear for him. Possibly I'm over reacting, anyone got any advise or support?

poor people use their fingers. i had anal sex before and i didnt use anything but the real thing. the great thing about this is even though it takes a long time for the guy to get it in, especially if you tense your muscles up. if he stimulate you but playing with your clitoris, and when you have an orgasm you have it from the front and the back.
this is the same for men, that's why gay guys are gay. you see a regular guy having an orgasm, well if he was doing it in the butt....he would get his orgasm from his butt and his penis.
it's the greatest feeling "double orgasm" but i could live and die without having anal sex..it does hurt when they're trying to get it in...after that it's fine. takes too much time.

I guess it just seems bizarre that my 19 year old would even know about them, let alone want to order them and use them! I feel sick as I said before and worry for his future, it seems a dark side of normal to me. How will he have a normal relationship, I can imagine any innocent girl being mortified by the whole thing.
The internet I think, has a lot to do with all this. I'm no prude and in an established relationship, why not try something new? But alone in your room with various sizes of butt plugs?
