Anal Sex-Preparation and Practices to Make It a Pleasurable Experience

Anal sex can be a pleasurable experience although there are many misconceptions and lasting beliefs that people that do it are warped in some way. The anus is rich in nerves and the penetration and thrusting with either a penis or sex toys against the prostate can create sexual euphoria for men. With the right position even the female g-spot can be massaged! The concerns that only homosexuals do this, that it would be painful and that it's dirty hold people back from trying this. By following these guidelines you will be assured of a pleasurable experience.

Respect and Trust

Respect for each other and listening to your body's signals are fundamental to a successful experience with anal intercourse. How far, how fast, how slow, how deep, whether to stop or keep going are important limitations to heed. Without respect and trust, it can lead to tissue damage and possible infection as well as damage to your relationship.

Proper Hygiene

This is perhaps one of the greatest concerns when engaging in anal sex. Since the rectum is only a passageway, the likelihood of coming into contact with feces is low. However, due to trace amounts of bacteria and fecal mater the use of an enema and/or condom can ease that concern. Following a healthy diet will also ensure bowel health and avoid any of the worries of intestinal problems that could deter you from enjoying a pleasurable experience.

Relax

The ring of muscles that make up the anus and that must be pushed past during penetration can cause pain if you are not completely relaxed. A warm bath or shower or sensual massage and lots of foreplay can relax you and prepare that sensitive area for play.

Lubrication

The anus is not self lubricating and therefore needs plenty from an outside source. Use a high quality lubricant and be generous.

Patience

Going very slowly and at a leisurely pace that will allow the anus time to get used to having an object inserted. Starting with something small such as a finger or slim shaped sex toy before proceeding with anything larger will help you to avoid any pain.

Practicing Safer Sex

The anus is not only rich in nerves, but a blood supply that makes it particularly vulnerable to infection. This delicate area can tear easily without you knowing it. Knowing your partner well and using a condom is a way to reduce your risk of a sexually transmitted infection.

Being armed with knowledge and having a desire for adventure can truly lead to a pleasurable experience with anal sex.
