Can You Wear a Penis Plug and Have Sex?

When people buy sex toys that can be inserted, people will usually think about how they can use them. Penis plugs are no exception, with a common question being “Can I have sex while wearing one?”. Sexual intercourse while wearing a penis plug is possible, however it is not advised as there are risks involved.

The Risks of Wearing a Penis Plug During Sex

The biggest, and easiest, risk is that the penis plug may just fall out during sex. This applies to all penis plugs that can be easily inserted and removed from the urethra. There are exceptions to this, such as penis wands and plugs that attach to piercings like a Prince Albert piercing as they are a lot more likely to stay in place.

There are different variables that will affect the likelihood of your penis plug falling out during sex:

  • Sexual Intensity: Your penis plug is a lot more likely to fall out during rough or fast sex. Slow and sensual sex is recommended if you want to have sex while wearing a penis plug.

  • Lube: The amount of lube you use can affect the likelihood of your penis plug falling out, both for inserting the plug and for sexual intercourse. Using a lot of lube will make the penis plug more slippery, making it a lot easier for it to slide out of your penis during sex. Keep an eye out on how much lube you use to lower the risk of your penis plug falling out.

While you may not think there are many risks with wearing a penis plug during sex, there are some things to consider:

  • If your penis plug falls out during sex, you’ll need to take a quick break to retrieve it. You’ll need to take another break to sterilise it again if you want to reinsert it, which can ruin the mood for some people. Skipping the sterilisation process is dangerous as this will introduce bacteria into your urethra, potentially causing an infection.

  • Wearing a penis plug during sex comes with the possibility of it getting caught on tissue inside the vagina or anus, which can range from discomfort to sharp pain for your partner. Using a penis plug with smooth edges can help prevent this but the risk is still there.

  • Wearing a penis plug during sex can possibly injure your partner with repeated trauma. A metal penis plug, even if it’s rounded off and smooth, has the potential to injure the delicate tissue in the vagina/anus by creating small scratches or tears.

  • Anal sex is strongly discouraged, as it is very easy for small objects to get lost in the anus (especially if the penis plug falls out deeper in the anus). It may seem like a sexy idea, but there’s nothing sexy about losing a penis plug inside your partner and requiring medical assistance to get it removed.
  • Ensure you purchase your plug from a reputable store specialised in penis plugs so you can trust the quality of the design and materials used

Can Men Ejaculate While Wearing a Penis Plug?

Penis plugs are primarily used as sounding toys, but they can also double up as a toy that can prevent a man from ejaculating normally. Depending on the size of the penis plug, a man may find that their ejaculation is completely denied or they may experience a ruined orgasm instead.

If you don’t want to use a penis plug as a denial toy as well, there’s a solution for you. Hollow penis plugs will easily allow fluids to pass through it, allowing the wearer to ejaculate properly.

Penis plugs can also be used to enhance a man’s orgasm. Penis plug users claim that restricting the ejaculation with a penis plug builds up the intensity, pulling out the penis plug when they are ready for a more explosive climax.

At the end of the day, people who want to have sex while wearing a penis plug are going to do it anyway. Wearing a condom will ensure that the penis plug can’t fall out inside your partner and can help prevent them getting injured. When engaging in risky sexual acts, make sure to do your research beforehand so that you understand all the risks involved and how to minmise them.
