Then there’s this little guy called the rectal dilator, pioneered by George Starr White and Frank E. Young in the late 1800s to help treat all sorts of medical conditions. (A butt plug a day kept the doctor away.) Though meant for non-sexual purposes, their rectal dilators influenced the modern form of the butt plug, with a flaring tip and ring at the end, so, you know, it won’t get stuck up there.
