How to Prepare for Anal Sex
Before having anal sex for the first time, you should make sure that you’re ready for it. When it comes to the practice of anal sex, there’s a lot of misinformation about which is why we’re here to give you a few tips and tricks. Having anal sex can be painful if it’s not done right, so, before trying it with your partner, why not try it on your own? There are plenty of toys you can use to ‘open yourself up,’ if you don’t want to use your fingers. The anal play toys that are available come in all sorts of shapes and sizes which is good because you’ll be able to explore your rear-entry to your heart’s content. Once you’ve had enough practice with your toys, you’ll be able to move onto the real thing.
Anal Sex and Protection
When having anal sex, you must use a lot of lubrication because unlike the vagina, the anus isn’t self-lubricating. It’s also wise to use protection to prevent yourself getting any form of infection as the anus is home to numerous bacteria. Naturally, when using a latex condom, you should use water-based lube so that you don’t degrade the latex. Using a towel is also not a bad idea as lube has a way of making a mess.
Make sure to rub the lube both inside and outside of the anal opening, you can do this by using either your fingers, a toy, or even the head of your penis. It’s important to note that after a session of anal sex, there may be some cleaning up to do so you should have some wet wipes to hand. In order to lessen the chance of any faecal matter getting onto your penis, your partner could use and enema or an anal douche; however, this isn’t something that should be done on a very regular basis.
Getting Into Anal Sex
Before you go shoving your penis into the backdoor of your lover, make sure that they’re as relaxed as possible. You see, the anal sphincter needs to relax in order for things to pass through it easy, something it won’t do if your partner is feeling tense/anxious. Once the muscles have relaxed, the fun can begin.
Anal sex isn’t something you should just jump into, regardless of whether the receiver has experience or not. It’s very easy to damage the anus, so you should take your time during penetration, at least until your partner is ready to speed things up. Having a fully erect penis shoved up one’s backside can be very intense and sometimes painful; there are thousands of receptors in the rear-passage which can provide a lot of pleasure but only if you take your time pay attention to your lover.
