How To Remove a Ben Wa Ball from Your Butt

Let's put that at the top of the list of things I never thought I would need to Google, yet I did. Need to, that is. (Yes, I got a ben wa ball stuck in my butt.)

Surprisingly, there was no information. None. Just lots of articles warning me not to do that. Yeah, um, well, too late for that. Now, how in the hell do I get this thing out?!?

I was able to find some stories about people getting things stuck up there, by changing my search to "ball stuck in butt." If you're looking for some entertaining stories, try that some time.

Anyway, back to my story. And, more importantly, perhaps, what to do if you get a ball stuck in your ass.

First off, I am not a doctor. This is not medical advice. By all means, seek medical attention if you are concerned that you're in dire straits. In most of the stories I read, people did go to the ER. Do not let this post discourage you from doing so, if you have any troubling symptoms. Use good judgement.

Okay, here's what happened. I have never had anal sex, but I want to, and my boyfriend really wants to. The thing is I am scared. I've put my finger in there, and it's a damn tight hole. And the time my boyfriend fingered my ass, it hurt after. So, I've been trying to get used to the idea of putting things in my ass hoping that my enjoyment of the sensation will outweigh my fear. (It's definitely getting there; I do like it!)

When I was masturbating yesterday, I decided to stick not one, but two ben wa balls in my ass. It felt good to have them in there, and I had a huge orgasm. But, when it came time to take them out... not so good.

The first ball came out rather easily. I put my finger into my vagina and was able to feel the ball. So I just gently worked it out, pushing from behind.

Then I went to get out the second ball, and I couldn't even feel it. I put my finger as far into my anus as it would go and I still could not feel the ball. At first, I wondered if it had fallen out. But I could kind of feel the sensation that something was in there.

I decided to give it some time to work its way down. That's when I went online to find out what to do. I couldn't believe that I didn't find anything about it.

I went back in the bathroom and felt inside again. This time I was able to touch the ball, but it was far in and not near the vaginal wall. Still, the fact that it did work its way down a little gave me hope.

I put on a pad, just in case it - or something else - came out, and went to run some errands. I tried to keep calm, and told myself it would come out. After all, stuff comes out of that hole every day. Fortunately, it was a nice round object that wouldn't get caught on anything.

When I got home, I was able to feel it through my vaginal wall, and I worked it out. Good as new. Me, not the ball. The ball came out all tarnished on one side like someone had burned it.

I had only some very mild cramping while it was in me, but I also started my period last night, so the cramps might have been from that. Otherwise, no real harm done.

Lesson learned: There's a reason anal beads have a string.

Short version:

How To Remove a Ben Wa Ball from Your Ass

• First, relax. It will all be okay, and it will be okay sooner if you relax.
• If you are in pain, get medical attention! Don't risk serious injury because you're a little embarrassed. Listen to what your body tells you.
• If you are a woman, try feeling for the ball through your vaginal wall. (Make sure you're using clean fingers.) If you can, gently work the ball out by pushing from behind it.
• If it's really far in, just relax and go about your business to give it time to work its way out.
• Try walking around to get things moving.
• Do not strain to push it out, but you can squat and gently try to push it out. (Think: trying to poop.)

With patience and time, it should come out. The ball is smooth and shouldn't get stuck on anything. But, if all else fails - or if you are in pain - see a doctor.

I would love to hear other people's stories of getting things stuck inside, and how they got them out.
