So you wanna take things backstage? Well, you\u2019re in for a good time! A hugely exciting addition to your bedroom repertoire, anal sex offers a new type of stimulation for both partners. However, before you get started, it\u2019s important to know how to have anal sex for the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anal sex is penetrative or external play with the anus using a penis, sex toy, fingers or tongue. Anyone can enjoy anal. Whether it\u2019s girl-on-girl, girl-on-guy, guy-on-guy or guy-on-girl, a lot of us are at it! And it\u2019s no wonder: intense stimulation with the thrill of doing something taboo is a massive turn-on.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s the Big Deal?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As the passageway is tighter and smoother than vaginal sex, anal sex offers increased friction and intensified orgasms. Men also have the bonus of their super-sensitive P-spot, a walnut-sized gland located 2-3 inches inside their anus. <\/p>\n\n\n

Preparation is Key – Be Anal about it! <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Anal sex is very personal and intimate, so it\u2019s hugely important that you both <\/em>want to do it. It can be painful at first, so discuss and plan it together beforehand. This is not something to do in the heat of the moment!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take the time to warm up both mentally and physically. The more anxious you are, the less your muscles will be able to relax. To help you adjust to the sensation, start off with a finger or a small butt plug<\/a> before you attempt a penis or strap on<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may prefer to practice on your own before you try it out with your partner. There\u2019s a huge choice of anal sex toys<\/a> designed for all tastes and preferences, so don\u2019t be afraid to take some for a test drive! If you need help choosing, our guide to anal sex toys<\/a> is sure to help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For reasons we\u2019re sure we don\u2019t need to explain, cleanliness is a must for anal sex. It\u2019s a fear that strikes in the heart of many that their poop chute will live up to its name \u2013 but don\u2019t worry, the explosive horror stories you may have heard are very unlikely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To put your worries at ease and simply make sure you\u2019re clean down there, use a douche or an enema<\/a> beforehand. They\u2019re really easy to use, and when the water runs clear, you\u2019re good to go!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re not in a strictly exclusive relationship, you must use a condom<\/a> (however, this is still recommended for everyone). To prevent bacteria from spreading, don\u2019t switch between anal or vaginal penetration without putting on a new condom or thoroughly cleaning your penis. You can\u2019t mix \u2018n\u2019 match between holes, so keep things clean, people!<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Photo<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

It\u2019s All About Lube<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Lube will be your best friend for anal. Unlike the vagina, the anus doesn\u2019t naturally lubricate itself, and saliva just isn\u2019t going to cut it. Without lube, you run the risk of causing painful tears in the anus or ripping the frenulum of the penis (i.e. snapping your banjo), so use it \u2013 lots <\/em>of it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A water-based lubricant<\/a><\/strong> can be used for anal sex and is also compatible with silicone sex toys, should you be using be one. However, it doesn\u2019t have a very thick consistency, so expect to reapply it several times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A silicone lubricant<\/a><\/strong> is a popular choice as it\u2019s thicker and more durable. It may damage silicone or jelly toys, however, so it\u2019s best to save it for intercourse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anal lubricants<\/a><\/strong> often contain a desensitising agent to reduce sensitivity around the anus. As the head of the penis is the widest part, initial penetration can cause a \u2018ring sting\u2019. This type of lube can relieve discomfort while still maintaining the pleasurable sensations of anal sex.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n

Afterwards, don\u2019t be shocked if you\u2019re more windy than usual. Air is pushed into the anus during penetration and \u2018bum queefs\u2019 are that air escaping! It\u2019s not the sexiest part of anal but it doesn\u2019t always happen, so don\u2019t let it put you off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2026and that\u2019s it! If you hate it, you\u2019re under no obligation to do it again. Saying that, take the time to explore what you do and don\u2019t like and feel free to switch things up to make it work for you. Anal sex is meant to be fun so enjoy yourself!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
