Does Your Butt Plug Help with Anxiety?

I had read somewhere on a post either here or in Fetlife, that there was a person who would struggle to sleep at night. They said that they started sleeping with a butt plug and that would help them during the night when they would wake up. Before, they would think about all the problems, things they had to do, worries, etc., but with the plug, they would wake up, be reminded of the plug and drift back to sleep.

Lately, I've been feeling anxious and have been struggling to sleep myself. Over the last week or so, I was actually having anxious nightmares. So I put this theory to the test. I don't always sleep with my butt plug, generally weekends I will but during the week not so much. Last night, slept with my devi glass plug (I love this plug) and there were no nightmares or anxious feelings, but I was a little horny throughout the night.

I think I did see a post where I think it was Ozzy that stated, that when he wears his plug, that he tends to forget about knee pain. So I'm wondering about others out there. Does a plug help distract you for aches, pains and anxieties?

My plug does help me my knee pain. It doesn't lessen it per se, but it keeps my mind off of them. I also wore my plug to my last basal cell removal which was on the back of my calf. It really kept my mind off of the surgery between cuttings. It was mohs surgery and they had to cut twice. So I had to lie there for 15-20 minutes waiting clearance twice.

I'm really glad I had it in then. I just laid there doing kegels between cuttings! lol

So I would definitely say it helps me. The few times that I get to sleep with it in, I usually have great dreams!

I wore a plug the day I had 2 molars removed. It definitely took my mind off the whole procedure. I could do kegels and the clenching and relaxation helped dissipate the sensation of having them pulled and twisted.

I had local anesthesia and wasn't put under.

The part that was just kinda kinky was having the dentist and assistant so close. I kept thinking some head would really take my mind off of this even better.

@Proximo I haven't really thought of a butt plug helping with anxiety as I really don't suffer from that for the most part. However I do love the feel of a butt plug and it does tend to be a pleasant distraction at times. I will have to give it a try then. 😃

If I want to be distracted from something I don't like, I'll excuse myself and take a few minutes to go to our bedroom or the bathroom and masturbate a couple of times. The resulting afterglow from that is much stronger than wearing a butt plug.

I do that too and I am thinking that maybe using a butt plug will enhance the feeling I get when I am masturbating. When I am at work I do sneak away for a quick one when possible and maybe a butt plug will help to keep the feeling going a little longer.

But I will have to try this out to see.

I didn't think it would be PC to rub one out during the appointment. I wasn't particularly anxious just didn't really want to have to be there. The plug was a positive though.

You are a dirty girl.

The butt plug will probably enhance your orgasms.

Americans once used butt plugs as ‘miracle cure’ device for everything from insomnia to bad breath.

I love how it said, non-habit forming. Haha I’m a little addicted to plugs myself!!

I am plugged (except for bm's) 24/7/365 with my extra large pink mood naughty 1 plug. I LOVE everything about being plugged. I'm plugged at work right now and LOVE it. I love being plugged at work, I love being plugged out in public. I just LOVE being plugged!!! ANYWHERE AND EVERYWHERE AND DOING ANYTHING AND DOING EVERYTHING PLUGGED!!! PERIOD!!! The question should be: When am I NOT plugged. The answer is NEVER!!! I am 100% ALWAYS plugged and ABSOLUTELY LOVE my buttplug buried deep inside my anus and buried deep up inside my rectum!!! Having my buttplug buried deep inside my anus and buried deep deep up inside my rectum just feels so VERY, VERY WONDERFUL, NORMAL AND NATURAL!!! It also feels VERY, VERY STRANGE and completely UNNATURAL to be without my buttplug buried deep inside my anus and buried deep up inside my rectum!!! I must have my buttplug buried deep inside my anus and buried deep up inside my rectum to feel comfortable and complete!!!

The comforting completeness I feel with my buttplug buried deep inside my anus and buried deep up inside my rectum IS a wonderful, warm calming feeling that (in addition to giving all the wonderful sensations normally associated with buttplugs), allows me to go into that calm space and "regroup" when I AM stressed or have anxiety about something. The situations are still there, but having that calm space with the sensations of the but plug allows me to handle things easier. So, yes, my but plug does DEFFINATELY help me with anxiety.

These last few years I have started wearing anal plugs at night quite often, something around 50% of the time I'd guess, maybe a bit less.

Now, I don't really have any anxieties, aches or pains of physical things that keep me up, but wearing a plug will help bring on erotic/sex thoughts/feelings/imaginings and that is something which helps me drift off to sleep. It is calming and soothing and I suppose habit-forming in the sense that it feels good.

I wonder if there are any physicians who suggest patients give wearing a plug at night a try? There are worse things to try out.

I use a butt plug as a pacifyer. It calms me and helps me sleep when I can't turn my brain and thoughts off. Sleep is my escape and when at home and am messed up about something, I will put a comfortable plug in and take a nap. I become relaxed as soon as it is well seated and I'm snuggled beneath the covers.

It's like a big hug but from the inside.

I definitely sleep better with my plug in. If I wake up and start thinking about stuff, it always helps to remember my plug is in and I’m back to sleep quickly.

It sounds like a wonderful, chemical-free and cheap cure against anxiety ! One concern for me though, when the lubricant dries out, the removal is painful and not at all erotic. Water-based lubricant are short lived because the body absorb it quickly but silicone is incompatible with most plugs.

Which lubricant would you recommend for night-long wear ?

Instead of looking for another type lubricant, why not use a glass or metal plug and then you could use other types of lubricants that last longer.

True but they are of an harder nature and I enjoy the "liquid silicon" type of material better because it is gentle to wear.

Coconut oil. It’s natural. It lasts a long time.

First of all you need a good water-based lube. Most dry really quickly. X-lube will last for several hours. On top of it you can use a little Crisco, Slam Dunk or Boy Butter - whichever works best for you. And don't listen to anybody who says coconut oil... That will dry out completely overnight and your plug will be stuck inside you forever. 😑

Also don't try to wear your plug overnight before you are able to wear it comfortably for ∼8 hours during the day without relubing.
