Rest Stop Shop did some recent research on anal play. Here are our insights on the subject. Enjoy!

To begin with, ALL men have something called a prostate, which is also referred to as the male G-spot, AKA P-spot. This is a walnut sized gland located between the bladder and the penis that produces fluids contained in the man’s semen. It is also worth noting that this gland can produce a tingling pleasure when massaged. Many men, as part of their general prostate health in older age, have prostate examinations performed by a medical professional to precheck for cancer and other health issues. About 1 man in 8 will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during his lifetime, so if you are over 40, be sure to get tested! The prostate is a great indicator of your male health. It can be accessed by inserting a probe into the anus and accessing it through the thin rectal wall. This is all a very long-winded way of saying it is easily aroused and any cis male can experience this activation.

Anal play has long since been associated with gay men and has been stigmatized by the AIDS pandemic in the 1980s–today. It can be traced as far back as Roman times, when sexuality wasn’t labeled and categorized as gay or straight, it just existed. This, in our opinion, led to a wider spread of body exploration and an openness to the many types of pleasure a man can experience. For years, stifling education stemming from religion, medical misinformation and social taboos, hid the prostate from options for male pleasure, lest a man be considered a sexual deviant.

Rest Stop Shop would like to normalize the prostate and the empowerment of straight men to explore this part of their body. Using sex toys to penetrate the anus gently and access this area by yourself or with a partner will help in this effort. If all men have this pleasure button why not try pressing for the fun of it and see what euphoria awaits? Straight or gay!

A good line of products to begin is the Aneros collection of male prostate toys, developed and used by medical professionals, if you’re looking for a medical, clinically approved product. If you want to turn up the volume you might want to consider b-vibe premium anal toys as well, which has an added pleasure inducing vibration of stimulation.
