So, you're trying to have some fun through the back door, huh? Great! But don't rush into it. Anal sex requires a certain level of preparation and thought before you go to Poundtown. Keep reading for Bang!'s handy little guide on how to successfully prep for anal sex.
Why prepping is important
Prepping for anal sex is important because it's not the down there you're used to. The anus is not self-lubricating, and... ahem, primarily serves other functions other than pleasure. That being said, it's important to take these things into account and make sure the area is clean, lubricated, and ready to take a cock! Failure to prep can result in at best, a messy situation, and at worse, a very real injury/tear. It's much better to stay prepared, folks!
How to prep for anal sex
You should have time on your side here. While it's totally possible to have anal sex sort of on the fly (all you need is some baby wipes and lube to get clean and slippery, in that order), to be more thorough, give yourself an hour or two before the action so that you can really get ready. Your preparation could include a simple wash down there, douching or doing an enema (make sure to do this an hour or two before the act to reduce chances of irritation), making sure you're stocked up on the lube, and maybe playing with some toys as well to loosen the area up.
When it comes to lube, make sure you're steering clear of numbing lubricants or oil-based lubricants, if you're using a condom. The reason for these being that numbing lubricants, while they may seem like a good idea, actually take away your very important sense of feeling, which is very necessary to make sure that everything's going right down there, and can alert you if something feels off. Secondly, if you're using a condom, avoid oil-based lubricants, because these can damage the material of the condom and cause it to break.
As far as toys go, make sure to remember the golden rule of anal: Anything that goes up there must have a flared base. You don't want an awkward ER visit. Whether you're starting with toys or going right for the dick, please remember to take it slow either way. Taking your time with anal can literally save your ass! Going too fast can cause not only make it harder to penetrate, but can also cause painful ruptures. Let the receiving partner set the pace for things and be sure to communicate throughout the act. Slow and steady wins the race!
Best positions for anal sex
Now that you've prepped, what are some good positions for anal? We've got a short list of some tried-and-true positions that are good for beginners.
Let's start with the obvious one: doggy. It allows for easy access and puts the receiver in a position that allows them to relax, which makes it easier to get the dick in there. Plus, it allows for stimulation in the front as well, all you have to do is reach your hand around.
Reverse cowgirl or normal cowgirl are also good choices, because it allows the receiving partner to have more control. They sit on the dick, so they can decide how deep they want to go and when. These positions also give a good view of the bounce once things get thrusting, and that can be a huge turn on!
And if we're looking for something for low-energy, spooning can be a good choice for anal as well! Both partners lie on their back, with the female being the little spoon, and the penis entering her from behind. This position can be relaxing, and help the female open up a bit more, which can lead to pleasure for sure!
What to do after the deed
You accomplished anal, congratulations! Cleaning up and aftercare is always important, even moreso with anal. Once everyone's finished, make sure to clean up down there. Again, with a wipe or a little shower, and make sure to wash your hands and any toys you've used too!
In short, anal is a worthwhile pursuit, but one that takes a little extra care and preparation. However, if you just remember the two big basics, to get clean and lube up, you should be ready for it in no time!
