So, I’ve had the Doc Johnson Pleasure Plug (1 1/2”) for a few weeks now, but life has been a little hectic for me, so I haven’t gotten to spend a lot of “quality” time with it. As of now, I have not yet tried using it anally. The main reason I haven’t experimented with it there is the size. It’s pretty big, so for me as a beginner, it’s a little daunting. On the other hand, the size makes it very fun to use vaginally, like a dildo.

The material is pretty amazing; it feels very similar to the real thing, soft without being too soft. And it actually smells nice. As soon as I opened up the package, I noticed the scent. It’s sort of fragrance-like, not chemical-like at all. The site says that the material is rubber, but the packaging says it is “sil-a-gel.” Either case, both materials work with water- or silicone-based lubricants. Sil-a-gel (which is what I believe this toy is made of) has a tendency to attract “dust and small debris,” so it should be used with condoms and washed before and after with warm water and mild soap. It has a slightly higher safety rating that normal rubber because it is completely anti-bacterial, despite being semi-porous.

I noticed on the customer reviews that several people mentioned either being concerned with or having experienced the base of the toy slipping inside them. I did notice this happening with vaginal use, so I would recommend some type of lasso or tie if you are going to use this toy anally. As I mentioned, it is softer than most toys I’ve known, and the whole thing (base and shaft) is the same material.

When I use this toy, I like to use a vibrator with it. This toy works well as a dildo, so combined with clitoral vibrations, the experience is quite simply amazing. The toy actually carries the vibration when the vibrator is touching it. My vibrator of choice at the moment is the “Crotch Massager,” which is inexpensive, powerful, and relatively discreet. These two toys work very well together. I look forward to many more pleasurable experiences in the future, and also to eventually experiment with the plug anally.
