I’m slowly emerging from an abstinence-only sex-ed that I held onto all the way into adulthood, so almost anything you tell me here will be new information. Because of this I also really don’t know how to speak naturally or appropriately about any of these things, so please, bear with me, even if the rest of this post sounds crazy.

I want to have a better time by myself and I want to explore ways of getting into a better headspace while writing, so I’m looking around for something that goes in the back and stimulates the prostate and maybe the perineum, is easy to clean, can be used sitting down, and doesn’t have electric parts that require special maintenance and cleaning, unless vibration is really just that important.

I don’t know about brands or pricing or materials or how to effectively research them. Any advice you can spare would be much appreciated.

    You can actually get anal plugs that have ball bearings in them that bounce around as you move, so you get vibration without electric parts.

    But ultimately, it’s just something you’ve gotta try a few different things until you find something that works for your body. There’s a few hundred silicone prostate massagers out there.

    The way I searched was using AliExpress. They’re the exact same thing as the $10-20 ones on Amazon for $2-5, if you can wait a few weeks.

    I’d recommend getting a set to start with until you find what insertable length works best for you. Unfortunately, whomever designs the toys seem to think that longer massagers need to be thicker too, so you might need to work up to one.

      Beware of non-body safe materials like many of the toys sold on Amazon (TPU, etc.). If you’re going to put these inside your body then be sure you’re buying materials meant for internal use like silicone. I’d suggest you read through /r/sextoys before buying anything.

        You’d almost have to intentionally search for toys these days that aren’t silicone, abs, glass, or metal, though.

          True, but if you want something safe it’s worth the effort.
