Tips for anal sex

Anal sex can be incredibly exciting. But also incredibly fun. Yet it is something that generally does not go as smoothly as the 'classic' form of penetration. But, we have some tips, that will hopefully help you enjoy it.

Communication

Of course, you can also play with anal stimulation yourself, but if you do choose to do this with someone or more than 1 person: don't forget that communication with your partner(s) is essential. Discuss your boundaries and preferences to ensure that everyone can enjoy the experience.

Lubricant, lubricant and lubricant

You may have already figured it out, but lubricant is an incredibly important tool for anal sex. Choose a good water-based or silicone-based lubricant. This reduces friction and helps prevent pain and discomfort. Also pay close attention to what the lubricant is made of. For example, choose the natural lubricant from Aia .

Safety first

Don't have a steady partner(s)? Or are you unsure whether you or your partner(s) are free of STDs? Then use a condom. Because you can also get an STD (sexually transmitted disease) during anal sex. Always use a new condom and sufficient lubricant to prevent tears. Do you alternate between anal and vaginal sex? Then make sure you change condoms to prevent infections.

Start small

If you are new to anal stimulation, start with something small like a finger or a small butt plug. This will help your body get used to the sensation and reduce the chance of discomfort or pain. You can gradually move on to larger toys or a penis as you gain experience and become more comfortable.

Anal toys like butt plugs, anal beads, and vibrators can help make the experience more pleasurable. They can help you get used to the sensation and provide extra stimulation. Make sure to choose toys made from body-safe materials, like these vibrating butt plugs from The Oh Collective.

Relax and take your time

It is important to be completely relaxed before you start having anal sex. Do not tense your pelvic floor muscles; breathe deeply to release tension. Go slowly and take your time, especially if you are new to anal sex. Forcing it can lead to pain and discomfort, so listen to your body and stop if necessary.

Hygiene

Make sure to pay attention to hygiene both before and after anal sex. Wash your hands, toys and anything else involved in anal stimulation thoroughly.

Also make sure that if you alternate between anal and vaginal sex that the toys and/or penis are cleaned before having vaginal sex.

Some people like to use an anal douche to feel cleaner, but this is not necessary.

Choose the right position

Some positions are more comfortable and accessible for anal sex than others. Try different positions to find the one that works best for you. Spooning, doggy style, and leg-raised missionary are popular choices for beginners.

Listen to your body

Pay close attention to your body's signals. If you feel pain or discomfort, stop immediately and try a different approach. Don't force anything and take breaks when necessary.

Enjoy!

Discovering anal sex is a process that takes time. Be patient and enjoy it. With the right preparation, communication and care, anal sex can be incredibly fun. Still not for you? That's okay. There are plenty of other ways to have fun in bed.
