How To Prepare For Anal Sex
- Start anal play slowly with a well-lubricated finger or a small toy designed for anal use.
- Use plenty of lube, progress gradually, communicate consent, and stop if it hurts or feels wrong.
Why Anal Can Be Pleasurable
- The anus and front of the rectum contain nerve endings that can make anal stimulation pleasurable.
- Filling that area can enhance sexual pleasure by stimulating nearby sensitive structures.
Choose Safe Anal Toys
- Use only anal-specific toys with a flared base or handle to prevent them getting lost.
- Avoid household objects because items can suction into the rectum and require surgical removal.
