Any anal play or insertion can be a fulfilling and rewarding part of anyone’s sex life, whatever your circumstances. For men it can be extremely fulfilling as the prostate is an erotic hotspot, which can trigger instant orgasm. Women can also be greatly aroused by anal penetration, and often enjoy the alternative to vaginal sex.
If you are thinking of trying any type of anal sex or insertion it is vitally important that you take things slowly and use plenty of lubricant. Some form of foreplay is also advisable, such as a slimline sex toy or finger. Some anal sex toys are designed for beginners, with a smaller girth and most do feature a tapered end for easy and gentle insertion. When choosing a toy think about the texture of the surface and avoid anything with rough or sharp edges. Anal beads are ideal, as are very slim vibrators. Butt Plugs are popular because they have a conical form with a pointed end, and a wider base so they help to ease the muscles wider.
Try using the tip of the toy or a finger (make sure you have very short fingernails for this!) to massage a little lubricant into the anus to begin with, and work from there.
Very gently increase the amount of the toy or finger that you insert and do stop or use more lubricant if you feel any pain at all. The Lube Shooter is ideal for this process. The gentle movements and lubricant help to relax the tight internal muscles, and once loosened it should be easy and satisfying to use any anal toy or perform anal sex. Vibrators are ideal for anal play as the vibrations help to ease the muscles into a relaxed state quite quickly. Most people will benefit from some form of relaxation or arousal first, which can also help to relax tense muscles.
Do not be put off anal play or sex by other peoples horror stories. Many people are put off anal sex or play by a bad first time experience. This is usually because they have not relaxed the anal muscles enough for penetration, and as a result feel pain or discomfort. there is no reason why this should happen if you have enough foreplay.
Many people prefer to use an anal douche to make sure they are as clean as possible prior to any anal play. This is widely regarded as the best option. Remember it is a good idea to have cleared your bowels well in advance of any contact and make sure you have not just had a large curry!
