Okay, well first off I am a guy, and I have experimented for about a year with anal play.
I noticed from early on that I want to try to avoid rubber or jelly (or other similar material) type toys because whenever I put them in my butt (even slowly) it burns REALLY BAD!

Glass and metal toys do not do anything of the sort and I have even tried things as big or bigger than 2 inches (like the Pure Plug 2.0). These are by far my favorite type of toys, but I feel like I might be missing out on some of the other dildos that I have bought and only tried once (too scared to try again), or various other plugs, etc)

Do you think this effect that these types of toys have on me is due to some kind of latex alergy I might have?

The one odd thing that doesn't seem to add up, is sometimes even silicone toys will burn a little (even with lots of lube and going slow, etc). They dont feel like the type of burning like with rubber or jelly, but its enough for be to take it out and want to soothe it with a cold glass plug.
Hell, I can sometimes put in a glass toy even without any lube if I relax enough (but I only usually od this if I am in the shower and any lube would wash off)

Has anyone else had similar effects? (possibly any solutions that worked?)

Would using a non-latex condom on a rubber toy possibly solve the problem? less

I am not able to use the rubber, jelly or silicone toys. Discomfort big time! I like a toy that is cool, but warms to your body temp. If you like a hard material try ceramic. Duncan Charles Designs has a rippled ceramic dildo that, for me feels wonderful, easy to use, and stimulates beyond belief! less

Yes I think the burning with rubber and jelly toys are actual chemical-specific due to my skin sensitivity, a it hurts a lot more than it occurring with silicone.

When/if a burning occurs with silicone, I think that is related to having a small hemroid in my sphincter. (I think there might be 2 from feeling around with my fingers) If I go REALLY slow and my butt is warmed up to opening, then it seems to not occur or be a lot less.

I swear when I am a parent, and my kid(s) are having trouble getting it out, I am going to have to teach them how to do an enema, because I seriously messed up my sphincter from when I was little and was determined to get it out by brute force. less

ceramicwoman1, that is exactly the same for me!


Yes, the warming to body temp get really annoying.
Recently I found a new technique to increase the amt of cooling effect. Don't get me wrong, the ID Pleasure is a nice Zing, but I will now use something called mentholatum (usually used to chapped lips or soothing burns, etc) It has a really good amount of menthol and it is so F-ing stimulating.

When I first put it on my sphincter it was almost too much, but I got used to it soon and will put it on a glass plug and be in heaven .
It basically is like vaseline but with camphor and menthol.



The cooling effect is extremely soothing (whether it is through cold temperature or menthol)
It is funny, a few months back I was watching Myth Busters on Discovery channel and they were doing an episode on what the fastest method is for "Cooling a Six Pack" --> meaning beer. Well that wouldn't apply to me, but... It would apply to my glass and metal toys =]

Here are the results:

Basically it was saying:
1. The fridge sucked and could take around 45-1h
2. Freezer wasn't too much better: 35 or so minutes
3. Ice water was not bad: 15 or so minutes
4. Ice + Water + Salt = Best: Only takes about 5 minutes (And i even tested this with a metal plug)

Apparently the salt melts the ice faster and makes the water more cold, and thus the object in there cools down faster.
When I inserted my njoy Pure Plug 2.0 into my ass, it was AMAZING. So cold, soothing, and stimulating. You know it was in there, unlike sometimes when they warm up and you can seriously forget (even with a plug that is 2 inches in diameter, haha)




In any case, thank you SO MUCH for the recommendation to the ceramic toys. I have seriously considered trying one or something similar, like searching for a granite or marble dildo but didn't seem to yield too many results.
Indeed I have somewhat always wondered how these would feel (especially ceramic) since I could always tell that they will adapt to temperature... like how they feel when coming out of the fridge or dishwasher.

Do they ship discretely?
I think I might seriously get one. The one you are talking about (I think the DCD signature) did that feel good anally?
Any other you recommend?

It appears they have some really interesting things:
4 that are similar to a vac-u-lock jelly dildo
1 curved probe
1 wand
3 bubble probes
2 ripple dildos



Is there any other material that you tried that you enjoy a lot?
Metal and glass are of course always amazing (Acrylic and plastic are ok but they dont change temp), although I think you just turned me on to ceramic!

Damn, I can always image what amazing stone dildos they had 1000s of years ago less

I actually have a similar problem sometimes. It doesn't seem to matter what type of material I use (silicone, jelly, etc), it just burns sometimes. But unfortunately, I don't really know why it happens. I was told I had hemorrhoids at one point (fun, fun ), so that could be it. Maybe you do, too? Or maybe some other problem? You could have a doctor check it out. less

Its the lube that causes it. After doing a lot of tests, I found that some lubes burn more than others. Same thing happens to my gf as well.

Jelly and rubber toys give a small slight burn (maybe this happens after they have been washed or used so many times that they tend to degrade and absorb soap and chemicals?), but when specific lubes are combined it feels like your sphincter is on fire.



The best solution is no lube - warm up in shower with toys that are smooth (glass, mental, firmer silicone) and then use the natural rectal lubrication after the toy is in motion inside of you (the body seems to produce more, given more activity in there with the toy).

An alternative is using vasaline (petroleum jelly). The downside to this is that its hard to get off your fingers (and butt) and its less slippery. But that is worth having no burning at all. Never have I once experienced a burning feeling while using it.

A third is to try and experiment which lubes work best. Ones with Menthol help.
Amazingly ones that are for sensitivity (like KY sensitive, ID moments, Wet naturals) tend to also burn, and sometimes even more (Both for me and my gf)
BTW, most lotions tend to burn anally as well. less

I didn't see anything definate. I noticed the burning with pink the most, but also the lifelike with vac-u-systems. I noticed that if I lick it it also burns my lips. I've wondered if the color was breking down, if I wash it prior to use it's better. The hard system don't seem to have the same issues. I dont think its alergeric in nature I think it's a ph problem or chemical. I have used petrolem lub and wonder if that may cause a chemical breakdown. I was looking for somoething from the manufacturing..If anyone knows anything post it. less
