Anal sex is a deeply personal way to have fun with others or yourself. It can be satisfying and safe, and anal sex toys can give you many different ways to enjoy yourself. This blog post will examine how to make anal sex enjoyable with toys so that you can have safe butt fun.
But first, let’s go over basic supplies and requirements.
Lubrication Is Key
Understanding the importance of lube and how to use it to prepare for anal sex is crucial.
Most lubricants fall into one of four categories:
- Silicone-based – This style works well but may stain textiles. It should not be used with silicone toys, as it can break down the surface of silicone toys over time.
- Water-based – These lubes also do a good job but may not last as long as silicone lubricants. They are easier to clean up and won’t leave residue, depending on the product.
- Oils – We don’t recommend using oil-based lubricants, essential oils, or massage oils as personal lubricants. Some of these products may trigger an allergic response, and oil may damage sex toys and be hard to clean.
- Hybrids – These lubes combine the best of multiple worlds. Success can be hit or miss, depending on the brand.
Specialty Lubes
Some lubes tingle, numb, warm, or relax. When learning how to prepare for anal sex for the first time, we suggest you avoid these products.
Now, let’s address the issue of cleanliness. Understanding hygiene is as crucial to making anal enjoyable as learning how to avoid damaging your toys.
Hygiene and Cleanliness
Before you lube things up for butt fun, make sure your nails are not in need of a manicure.
Wash your hands and toys with antibacterial soap or a sanitizer before you play. UV-light sanitizers, spray disinfectants, and antiseptic wipes may all be effective on toys when used as directed.
Another essential part of learning how to prepare yourself for an anal sex encounter is to pay attention to your backdoor. Wash your anus with mild soap and water. You may douche for extra cleanliness but do so sparingly so you don’t disrupt the natural pH balance of your anus or rectum.
Now that we have gone over cleanliness, let’s pick the right sex toy.
How to Pick the Right Toy
The right toy for anal fun will depend on your anatomy and your comfort level. There are many toys to choose from, and you might find it’s just as much fun shopping for a toy as it is learning how to prepare for anal sex with it. So let’s go sex toy hunting!
Size & Shape
Size and shape are the main qualities that make an anal toy enjoyable. Learning how to use a comfortable sex toy that fits you is easier than trying to take on a big lifelike dildo right away, so estimate your desire conservatively.
Diameter is a matter of personal taste. For starters, we suggest you look for something no bigger around than your little finger. And for shape, look for slim, cylindrical, or slightly bumpy toys that taper to a tip. Avoid elaborately shaped toys.
Features
For beginners, we suggest avoiding toys that move or vibrate when learning how to prepare your body for anal sex. A complex toy can work against you when you are learning how to make anal sex enjoyable, and adjusting controls can turn into a distraction. Your first backdoor experience should be more about learning how your body reacts and what feels right rather than thinking about controlling your toy.
Material
Anal sex toys are made of silicone rubber, body-safe plastics, glass, and stainless steel. When you are learning how to prepare your body for anal sex with a toy, we suggest avoiding the last two. While glass and stainless steel toys can be warmed and cooled to provide different sensations, most people find plastic and silicone sex toys just as good and more affordable.
Warm Up
It’s important to be relaxed for anal sex, so take a warm shower, light candles, put on sexy music, eat oysters, or do whatever works for you.
Warm up with something small, like the tip of your finger. Apply lubricant to your anus and your fingers, and start by massaging the area around the anus with gentle, circular movements. Continue until the muscles of the anus relax naturally and you are able to slip the tip of your finger inside without causing discomfort.
Once you learn how to do it, preparing for anal sex may not take long, but that is not true for everyone. Having the patience to stick with warm-up activities until you are ready is an essential part of learning how to make anal sex enjoyable.
