Anal Sex Without Taboos

Often, first anal sex experiences are accidental and may not result in a good experience. Many couples tend to avoid talking about anal play, especially if there has been a bad experience in the past.

Taboos related to anal sex take away some of the pleasure and interest in anal penetration.

Anal stimulation can and should be experienced progressively, either alone, with a partner, or with anal sex toys.

Benefits of Anal Sex

When done correctly, anal sex can truly increase a couple's pleasure immensely. The anus is full of nerve endings that are receptive to stimulation.

Anal pleasure in men is a bit more evident. The male anus houses the prostate, a gland connected to the reproductive system that releases fluids that are part of ejaculation. It is possible for men to ejaculate exclusively through prostate stimulation, and this, obviously, requires anal penetration.

Women are often seen as less active in anal sex, but it can be just as pleasurable for a woman as it is for a man. The clitoris is actually a bit larger than we imagine! It has nerve endings that extend through the labia and toward the anus. Thus, anal stimulation can stimulate a woman's clitoris.

Due to the angle of anal penetration, women are likely to experience G-spot stimulation, especially in the spooning position. Therefore, there is no reason why anal sex should be any less explosive for a woman!

Anal Cleansing

If you've already decided that you want to venture into the wonders of anal sex, you should prepare the best way to do it, to ensure everything goes smoothly!

First of all, proper anal cleansing is essential! An anal douche - a device with a nozzle attachment that is filled with water and used to introduce water into the anus. See what is available HERE.

Initially, it's a strange experience and it may take time to get used to, but it's truly essential. If you clean the anus well before the act itself, you will be sure not to feel embarrassed.

Once this hygiene routine is completed, you should wait about an hour or make sure that all excess fluids have been expelled before anal penetration.

Anal cleansing should not be done too often, as it can cause the anus to become sore and even gradually deplete our body's natural defenses!

See HERE how anal douching is done!

The use of a condom is always recommended, and anal-to-vaginal penetration should never occur, as this can result in an infection. If you plan to alternate between anal and vaginal penetration, you will need to change condoms or have a toy handy. See HERE what we have.

Anal Lubrication

You should never engage in any kind of anal play, whether foreplay or sex, without a generous amount of lubricant, preferably anal lubricant. See HERE what we have.

And why? Fissures, tears, friction burns, and other unpleasant and painful sensations can occur. Even if you fully enjoy it during the act and don't feel any apparent problem during penetration, it is likely that some of these issues may occur and could last for a few days.

Therefore, it is essential to lubricate everything thoroughly: fingers, anus, penis, and toys before penetration. The lubricant should be thick enough to provide comfort and glide, without removing all sensation, which can be a disappointing trait of ultra-thick lubricants.

Anal Penetration

So, you already know what you are going to do, you are clean and lubricated... time to move forward! Many people choose to start with anal masturbation. It is common to feel nervous in front of our partners when it comes to sexual experimentation, especially if the experience is new to only one of you.

If you feel more comfortable, you can start solo, without fear of exploring anal play on your own. Ideally, you should use sex toys. They are smaller than an average penis or vibrator and, unlike fingers, they don't have fingernails that can hurt.

See our Plugs HERE. They are the recommended toys for this practice, and you can find different sizes that suit your level!

All men can use plugs during penetration and other sexual acts to stimulate the anus and prostate in rhythm with the movements during intercourse.
