I would recommend a firmer silicone. Steel and glass may be too unforgiving for your first anal experience.
12/13/2011
Definitely silicone. It can be very soft with plenty of give. Something like glass and steel may be good for the smoothness of it but the rigidity can definitely hurt the unused anus. Plus silicone is very easy to clean and can be sterilized.
12/13/2011
I started out with silicon and i think it's the way to go. A little flexable is a good thing when your not used to it
12/13/2011
i say soft, but my fiance started with firm.
12/13/2011
Silicone is more forgiving, in general that's a good way to go.
But then again, with glass and steel you can use wonderful silicone lubricant, which is so great for anal play. So it's a tradeoff.

Silicone for sure. i recommend Vixskin or Supersoft materials to start out. They're a bit softer and more forgiving.

I'm no expert, but I believe something soft and somewhat pliable would be best for a beginner. Something rigid may be difficult or painful to take.
12/13/2011
I said soft but really should've said other. Start with fingers!
12/13/2011
I'll probably be a loner here, but I'd say steel or glass (but smaller sizes, of course) just because it slides in easier than silicone usually.

Softer leaves more room for error until you know your body better.
12/14/2011
Glass or steel would be best if you have a SMALL diameter as it lubes and slides the best with easy maintenance and care. If you're afraid you might overestimate your diameter capacity, then go with silicone to be on the safe side.

Softer is nicer to begin with!
12/14/2011
I highly recommend something SLENDER, in glass or steel. It's smooth, and you know exactly how big it will feel because you know how bit it IS, and it won't squish or bend.
12/14/2011
Silicone is great, especially for the first time. Though slim glass works just as well.

You should go for firm and rigid, although it sounds intimidating, it will be easy to insert. Soft, squishy plugs are hard to maneuver.
12/14/2011
get somethin soft! i still dont like really hard anal probes that are metal. too much!
12/16/2011
Going with the silicone options for now. Can't wait to try steel tho.
12/16/2011
Maybe Ace or Joe Rock.
12/16/2011
Of course soft/flexible! You have to get that area used to a toy being there, and something flexible and durable will help your muscles out a lot.

Soft is best for first time though I'd make an exception for the pure plug.
12/19/2011
Slick, soft and flexible.
12/19/2011
Hmm, this is a complicated issue. I agree with MeliPixie, SLIM and smooth would be good for a first time. One of the first things that I've put inside of a newbie is the bottle rocket Apollo (in a condom). It's hard, but very slender and the fact that it gets thinner right behind the head means that it can fit in fairly easily.
In the end, you should go with whatever turns you on. You're going to need to be aroused to use it.

I would say a smooth glass toy with no bumps or ridges and some silicone lube such as gun oil would be good to start. Thats how I started.
12/19/2011
silicone would be my preference. I don't like the idea of glass inside there.
12/24/2011
Silicone would probably be better. It's more forgiving and less intimidating, in my opinion.
12/24/2011
Silicone. It's soft and sanitary, and it will "track" your rectum rather than poking. Get a toy that's mostly smooth, perhaps with a few bloops on it for fun, but avoid highly textured toys to start with.
12/25/2011
Flexible is better
12/25/2011
Soft and flexible
12/25/2011
Try something a bit softer, just to have a little give rather than something so rigid it could hurt you.

I would go with silicone, but if you do with a harder material you should make it a smaller size than you would have gotten in silicone.

Personally, I'd vote for glass. Glass was my first anal toy, and it's so slick that it's really easy to insert, even for a newbie. The Pleasure Pearls were my first anal toy - slim and smooth and perfect. Everyone's different, but I think glass makes for a GREAT first toy because it's so smooth and slick. Make insertion a breeze!

You definitely need silicone. Glass is too rigid.

Something softer is a good idea, especially if it has any kind of decent length. The softness helps it bend and contour to one's ever twisting rear canal.

Definitely soft/flexible material for a beginner.

A softer material, probably a firmer silicone. It'll be less expensive and easy to clean.

Silicone gets my vote. Glass and steel might be too rigid for a beginner.
02/19/2012
I would be terrified to start with glass or steel, honestly.
02/19/2012
Something small is usually good at first soft or firm is really dependent on the persons preference.

Soft! Firm is just not a good way to ease into things..
02/19/2012
Soft!
02/20/2012
For your first toy you need to balance out something which is firm enough to push through the stiff resistance of the sphincter muscle, but something which is soft enough that it will absorb the pressure of the muscle squeezing on it, and not feel painful.
I like silicone toys because I find them incredibly comfortable, but I use quite thick ones (> 1.5") which gives them some added rigidity. I'd worry slightly that some of the really small beginner silicone toys would just be too bendy, and you'd struggle to get them in.

I started off with silicone, myself, and it wasn't that difficult. Getting ready to get something either glass or steel, though, and I'm excited about that.

You'll want something smallish and soft at first.
03/10/2012
Definitely flexible.

I started with solid, but flexible is probably the better way to go.

I started with glass, even though silicone is probably the smarter choice. It's more about using lots of lube and remembering to be gentle and patient than anything else.
10/20/2012
Silicone

Silicone, soft and flexible.

Silicone definitely!!

I'd say silicone since it has give, it's soft, less likely to cause pain in a beginner. Graduate to firmer things when you're more experienced.
11/02/2012
soft/flexible
11/02/2012
Soft and flexible for sure.
11/05/2012
I'd also go with soft/flexible at first! Makes for a more pleasant beginner experience.

Firm toys can hurt you if misused, and are best reserved for when you're experienced enough to know your limits.
11/08/2012
good question
11/16/2012
with flexible plugs you are less likely to hurt yourself.
11/16/2012
soft toys are definitely better for beginners.
11/16/2012
Definitely silicone.
11/17/2012
i love, love, love stainless steel, but definitely go with silicone for your first time.

I'd consider bendy a plus for a beginner, since it would force you to do more anal relaxing vs just pushing harder (and regretting it later).

Soft is better to begin. rigid may hurt too much
11/17/2012
Flexible silicone for beginners, I think.
