Contrary to popular belief, the prostate stimulator is not a sex toy reserved for the initiated. Its shape is specifically designed to facilitate the exploration of an area that can seem difficult to find with a conventional toy: the prostate, also known as the P-spot.
For the first time, forget about finding the perfect technique. A suitable model, plenty of lubricant and enough time to listen to what is happening in your body are already what matters most.
Here's how to choose and use a prostate stimulator gently, alone or with your partner.
What is the prostate and where is it located?
The prostate is a gland often compared to a walnut, located in the pelvis. In most people who have one, it can be accessed rectally by directing a finger or sex toy towards the front of the body, in the direction of the abdomen.
This erogenous zone is commonly known as the P-spot. Stimulating it does not produce the same reaction in everyone: some people immediately discover a pleasurable sensation, while others need several explorations to become familiar with this new feeling.
The aim is therefore not to seek a specific reaction. To better understand the different forms of pleasure associated with this zone, you can also read our article on the prostatic orgasm.
Choosing the right stimulator to get started
A good prostate massager works with your anatomy rather than requiring contortions to find the right angle. Several criteria are worth your attention.
The curve is essential: it naturally directs the insertable part towards the P-spot. For a first experience, a modest size also makes it easier to get comfortable with penetration without rushing the body. The material should be soft and suitable for intimate use, while a wide or secure base is essential for any anal sex toy.
At Strap-on-me®, two models lend themselves particularly well to this exploration.
-
The Dildo Plug Anal Point P&G combines an angled shape with a rounded tip designed to target the P-spot. Its ultra-soft liquid silicone gives it a supple texture, pleasant when you want to take your time;
-
The Dildo Point P & G also features an ergonomic curve designed to reach the P-spot. Made from cast silicone and available in several sizes, it allows you to match the choice of sex toy to your level of experience. Its suction cup also offers hands-free use.
To start, there is no need to choose the largest model. The best prostate stimulator is first and foremost the one with which you feel comfortable.
Preparing well: hygiene, lubricant, relaxation
Before thinking about technique, prepare your body and sex toy.
Clean your stimulator before use and wash your hands. Then apply a generous amount of water-based anal lubricant to the anal opening and to the insertable part of the toy. With a silicone massager, a water-based lubricant is the simplest choice to preserve the material.
Finally, allow your body a few minutes. Caressing the buttocks, the inner thighs or massaging the perineum helps to ease gradually into the session.
Anal stimulation does not lend itself well to rushing. If you feel tense, stay a little longer with external caressing: there is no reason to continue until your body invites you to.
Using your prostate stimulator step by step
Step 1: start with external stimulation
Before penetration, explore the perineum, the area between the testicles and the anus.
With your fingertips, make small circles or apply gentle pressure. This approach allows you to become familiar with sensations around the prostate without inserting anything into the anus.
You can stay with this stimulation alone if you enjoy it. Prostatic exploration does not have to be internal.
Step 2: a slow and gradual insertion
Get into a position that requires no particular effort. Lying on your back with your legs slightly raised, or on your side, are two simple options to start with.
Add lubricant if needed, gently place the tip of the sex toy against the anal opening and advance gradually while breathing calmly. Allow the sphincter to adapt rather than trying to push past its resistance.
A feeling of pressure may accompany insertion. Pain, on the other hand, means you should stop. Gently remove the toy and return to external caressing if you wish.
Step 3: finding the angle and the rhythm
Once the stimulator is comfortably positioned, direct its curve towards the abdomen. With a model specifically designed for the P-spot, the shape of the toy already does much of the work.
Start with small pressures or gentle movements rather than wide back-and-forth strokes. You can keep the toy almost still, slightly change its angle, or try a slow movement.
If your stimulator has vibration settings, start with the lowest level. A new area can react differently from those you are used to stimulating, and more power is not necessarily more pleasurable.
Prostatic massage can also be combined with stimulation of the penis, testicles or other erogenous zones. There is no fixed scenario: mix the sensations you enjoy and set aside those that do nothing for you.
Solo or together: at your own pace
Solo, you directly control the depth, angle and rhythm. This freedom is particularly useful when you are discovering the P-spot and are still looking for the type of pressure that suits you.
With a partner, the stimulator can become a game of trust. The partner can guide the toy while the person receiving it describes what they feel. Talking does not interrupt the pleasure: "stay right there", "softer" or "a little less deep" are sometimes the most useful instructions of the entire session.
A little humour is not out of place either. Discovering a new sexual practice requires neither ceremony nor perfect confidence from the very first time.
And above all, prostatic pleasure is not linked to any sexual orientation. It simply concerns people who have a prostate and want to explore this part of their body.
Hygiene, precautions and common sense
After use, clean the sex toy according to the manufacturer's instructions, using warm water and a mild soap or a sex toy cleaner. Dry it completely before storing it in a clean, dry place.
A toy used for anal penetration must not then move directly to vaginal penetration without appropriate cleaning or a change of protection.
During use, never force insertion and add lubricant as soon as the glide decreases. If pain persists after the session or if you have a known prostate condition, seek advice from a healthcare professional.
A prostatic stimulator is intended as a pleasure sex toy; it does not replace any medical procedure and we attribute to it no preventive or therapeutic effect.
FAQ on the prostate stimulator
Is stimulating the prostate good for you?
In terms of pleasure, prostatic stimulation can be a way to discover your body, vary your masturbation or share a new practice with a partner. It is not necessary, however, to attribute medical benefits to it in order to enjoy it. For any questions regarding prostate health, consult a healthcare professional.
What are the effects of a prostate stimulator?
A prostate stimulator applies targeted pressure to the P-spot region. The sensation can feel more internal and less centred on the penis than during conventional masturbation. In some people, this stimulation can contribute to a prostatic orgasm, but this outcome is neither guaranteed nor necessary to enjoy the session.
How to stimulate the prostate without penetration?
Massage the perineum, located between the testicles and the anus, with your fingers. Small pressures or circular movements allow for external and indirect stimulation of the prostatic region. This is an excellent way to begin if you do not wish to use an anal plug or prostate massager straight away.
How long does a session with a stimulator last?
There is no ideal duration. A few minutes can be enough for a first discovery, while a session can be extended when the body is relaxed and pleasure settles in. The best guide is your comfort, not the stopwatch.
