Use of Therapeutic Anal Plugs

I was thinking on all the accounts I've read on how teenagers were treated with enemas or prepared for an (almost ritualized) spanking in the past. Modesty never seemed to be a consideration and many a parent/family member/neighbor etc seemed to like introducing elements that had more to do with eroticism than just hygiene or corrective matters.

One thing I've not encountered so far is the use of therapeutic rectal/anal plugs. I've seen many ads and photos of what are essentially (sets of) anal plugs promoted as medical self-help therapies to relive problems due to hemorrhoids or constipation. Most of these date from prior to WWII and the advertising pitch was that they helped relieve problems due to 'piles' etc.

Now maybe it was just a dodge companies used to sell anal dildos, maybe it was serious, but in any case they were sold and probably in great numbers. So I was wondering if any member has any personal recollections or heard about instances when rectal plugs would have been used on teens, either as a remedy or help for real anal problems or even as part of a punishment/humiliation routine?

I've read so many other accounts with to my ears and experience, outlandish and embarrassing procedures and requirements. Just wondering if rectal plugs were ever a part of someone's experience as a teenager.

@agracier, I had prolapsed internal hemorrhoids for about 5 years. I was miserable. I tried creams and sitz baths, and nothing helped. I started looking online to see what treatment options were available. Most sites talked of surgery. I found a few sites where folks confirmed that the use of a butt-plug helped. Some medical professionals chimed in, but stated opinions, without supporting medical evidence. Once i began heading down the anal rabbit hole, using small butt-plugs once a month, I found it helped. Then I found using larger plugs and dilators a few times a month fixed the issue. I am now three years without any prolapse issue. And now, I have joined in the Butt-plug Lifestyle plan. It has helped me.

As far as the punishment piece for teenagers, no. That would be illegal now in most western countries.

Years ago I had a small rhoid here and there, nothing serious but annoying nevertheless. Since using buttplugs no such things has happened. Yup, plugging really does help!

Happy plugging!

My experience too. I wish I'd been aware of them as a teenager.

I agree on the hemorrhoids issue. I had bad case of hemorrhoids and after using butt plugs they are no longer. I have read an eBook about anal sex and they did confirm this.

Power to the plugs. 😃

What book, Erin?

Having just finished up with a bad case of rhoids. was wondering what plug size or style I should start with. Any good websites that you could recommended would be great.

Since you're starting, I'd suggest a small(ish) comfy plug, Tantus Ryder or Neo perhaps, small Core plug from Implicitcreations also comes to mind.

Happy plugging!

@ms. Erin: That is actually a pretty good and well researched book. I do remember seeing the part about hemorrhoids in there, but if I recall it wasn't one of the most strongly supported assertions in the book. I think his hypothesis is that anal and pelvic floor awareness in general is what is most likely to help, but ... I haven't had a flare up since I started using plugs more often.
