XtoysPrecious Metals Gold Butt Plug Large Review: Weighted Metal Luxury
Editor's opinion
This is a substantial metal plug that trades on weight, temperature versatility and a decorative jewelled base. It suits people who already enjoy anal play and want that grounded, full sensation only metal delivers. The 4cm width and 160g heft mean it is not a starter piece.
The Precious Metals Gold Butt Plug in large is aiming for two things at once: a striking, jewelled look and the firm, weighted sensation that metal fans specifically seek out. It is a simple, non-vibrating design, so everything rests on the material, the shape and the size being right for you.
The key figures to weigh before buying are a widest point of 4cm and a weight of 160g. Those two numbers define the whole experience, so the honest question is less about the finish and more about whether that scale of plug is one you already know you enjoy.
The good and the bad
What works
- Non-porous aluminium alloy works with water, silicone and oil-based lubricants
- Genuinely weighted at 160g for a firm, present sensation
- Holds temperature well, so warming or cooling adds a real dimension
- Wide jewelled base keeps wear safe and easy to retrieve
- Wipes clean easily and comes with a drawstring storage bag
What to be aware of
- At 4cm wide this is a large size, not a beginner's plug
- The 160g weight can feel demanding during extended wear
- Metal has no give, so patience and plenty of lubricant are essential
- Aluminium alloy conducts cold quickly and needs warming before use
Buy it if
People who already enjoy anal play, appreciate the firmness of metal over silicone, and want a decorative piece that also works for temperature play.
Skip it if
Newcomers to anal play or anyone unsure about width should start with a slimmer, tapered silicone plug and work up before considering something at 4cm and 160g.
Design And Materials
The body is aluminium alloy with a polished, non-porous surface and a classic tear-drop shape: a pointed tip that eases the initial insertion widening to a fuller 4cm body. Non-porous is the important word here, because it means the surface does not harbour bacteria the way porous materials can, and it is compatible with water-, silicone- and oil-based lubricants alike. That lubricant freedom is a genuine advantage over silicone, which rules out silicone-based products.
The jewelled base is decorative, but it is also doing the essential job of a plug base: it is flared and wide, which is what keeps the plug safe to wear and easy to retrieve. That is non-negotiable for any anal toy, and it is present here.
Size, Weight And Sensation
The defining feature is that 160g weight. Metal does not compress or flex the way silicone does, so the sensation is firm, grounded and constant rather than soft and yielding. Fans of metal plugs choose them precisely for this. It also means there is no give on insertion, so taking your time and using plenty of lubricant matters more than it would with a flexible toy.
At 4cm across and 9.5cm in total length, this is squarely a large size. The smooth surface and tapered tip make it more approachable than the numbers suggest, but this is a plug for someone who has already worked up to this scale, not a first purchase.
Temperature Play And Cleaning
Metal is excellent for temperature play, and this is where the material really earns its place. Rest it in warm water or chill it beforehand and the effect is noticeable in a way no plastic or silicone can match. The flip side is that aluminium alloy will feel cold straight from a drawer, so a quick warm-up under the tap is worth the effort before use.
Cleaning is straightforward: the non-porous surface rinses clean under hot water, and a proper toy cleaner or warm soapy water is sensible between uses. The included drawstring bag keeps it protected and discreet in storage.
How It Compares
Against a silicone plug of similar dimensions, this trades softness and flex for weight and heft, plus that lubricant-agnostic surface and temperature capability. If you want cushioned comfort, silicone wins; if you want firm, weighted presence and the option to play with hot and cold, metal is the reason to choose this.
Compared with glass, aluminium alloy is more forgiving of the occasional knock and shares the same non-porous, temperature-friendly benefits. It is a simple, non-vibrating design, so anyone after built-in stimulation should look at a powered toy instead.
The bottom line
If you already enjoy anal play and specifically want the firm, weighted feel of metal along with genuine temperature versatility, this is a well-judged choice with a base that is both decorative and safe. Just go in clear-eyed about the 4cm width and 160g weight: this is a considered step up, not a gentle introduction.
Frequently asked questions
Is this plug suitable for beginners?
Not really. At 4cm at its widest point and 160g in weight, it is a large size best suited to people who already enjoy anal play. Newcomers should start with something slimmer and more flexible and build up gradually.
What lubricant should I use with it?
The non-porous aluminium alloy surface is compatible with water-, silicone- and oil-based lubricants, so you can use whichever you prefer. Whatever you choose, use it generously, as metal has no give of its own.
How do I clean and store it?
It rinses clean under hot water, and warm soapy water or a dedicated toy cleaner is sensible between uses thanks to the non-porous surface. A drawstring storage bag is included to keep it protected and discreet.
How does temperature play work with it?
Because metal holds temperature well, you can warm the plug in hot water or cool it beforehand to change the sensation. Bear in mind it conducts cold quickly, so warming it before use is worthwhile unless you specifically want the chill.
Is the base safe for wearing?
Yes. The jewelled base is wide and flared, which is exactly the design that makes a plug safe to wear and easy to retrieve. That flared base is essential for any anal toy.
