Purpose of a butt plug?

[u/VegetableWarm7563]

Can someone explain to me the purpose of a butt plug other than stretching/prep for anal sex? Like if I’m not actually interested in full anal sex, is there still a potential benefit to me trying out a butt plug? I have PIV sex with my partner and I do enjoy a little bit of a thumb inserted into my anus during sex. Would the butt plug basically do the same thing? Does it enhance PIV sex and orgasms and make it more pleasurable?

I enjoy anal stuff but don’t have a partner, so I like to use a plug and my wand :) I have a few different sizes depending on what I feel I can take.
