How Do I Prepare Myself For Anal Sex?
Ever wonder: How do I prepare myself for anal sex? We've got the inside scoop on how to prepare for the most fantastic anal intercourse ever! Best of all is that it is easier than you think! There is absolutely no need to feel intimidated by this new and exciting style of intercourse.
It is recommended that you start with solo butt play. There is no need for masturbation to be limited to your vagina or penis. Next time you are touching yourself, try stroking or fingering your anus and see how it feels. The biggest benefits of starting the anal pleasure journey with solo anal play is that you experiment with different things as well as stop and start anytime you want without needing to guide a partner.
You will notice the first time you indulge in solo anal play that your anal canal also referred to as the rectum, is very tight. Going straight from not having anything inside your rectum to having a completely erect penis inside it can be plain painful. It is for this exact reason that anal sex needs to be practiced correctly.
Apart from regularly playing with your anus during masturbation, you or your partner can start anal intercourse by fingering your butt or inserting a sex toy like a butt plug into the rectum. This will help you get used to the new sensation. You should also communicate with your partner during this time and tell them immediately if it feels fantastic or painful. This will help your partner understand exactly what turns you on and off.
Many people say that they would love to have anal sex but think it is unclear because it involves the anus. There are medical professionals who recommend a gentle enema ahead of time, but simply paying attention to your bowel movements and relieving yourself when you feel your rectum is full and then washing afterwards with warm water and soap is more than sufficient to consider the area clean. But if a quick jump in the shower makes you feel more comfortable, go for it!
The importance of lubrication cannot be emphasized enough! Unlike the vagina, the anus is not naturally self-lubricating. Therefore, it is recommended that you invest in a good quality lubricant. Lubricant should always be used during anal sex whether it is during fingering or penis penetration. The use of lube will prevent anal tears and make penetration easier and significantly more pleasurable.
Always remember that the type of lubricant you need to buy depends on the condom you are going to use. Water-based lubricant is always used with latex condoms since oil-based lubes cause latex disintegration.
Even though a woman is unable to get pregnant from anal sex, there is still a risk of contracting a sexually transmitted disease (STD). Any STD that you can get via vaginal intercourse can be contracted during anal sex including HIV, HPV, chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis and herpes. Studies have shown that you risk for contracting an STI is actually significantly higher with anal sex. The reason for this being that the rectum's lining is thin and can allow diseases to enter the body during anal sex. The use of a condom with a new or cheating partner is therefore always recommended.
