Anal play is one thing that everyone should try. More than just another way to masturbate, this kind of sexy fun has a taboo feel and can be done alone or with a partner. It’s an indescribable feeling that you have to experience to understand.

First time anal? Start slow!

Anything anal is not to be rushed! Not only is it a gentle area, but you need to listen to your body. Pain that does not subside is a sure sign you’re going too damn fast. Slow down, and tread carefully. There’s a treasure of pleasure to be found in anal play, but if you’ve never explored it, forget those big, sexy toys for now. Start with a lubed finger first, and take your time. Lubing a finger doesn’t sound exciting, but once you start anal training, you can make personal progress that is both erotic and exciting. Don’t be discouraged if you’re limited at first. With a little practice and consistency, you’ll be enjoying an anal plug or bouncing on a thick suction cup dildo and moaning with the best of ’em!

Back door tips for anytime fun

* Before venturing forth into what may soon become your new obsession, I recommend a thorough wash of the area. Everything that touches your body should be clean. That goes for hands, toys, anything. Avoid infection at all costs.

* Trim your nails and make sure anything that penetrates you is smooth, unbroken and fit for use.

* Be ready for naturally occurring anal discharge and mess that may result. Laying a towel down underneath you is helpful if you are playing on a bed or sofa. Some people play it in the shower just because of the convenience of being able to wash up after.

*Relax. If you are tense, you will be tight and it will hurt. Take a deep breath and enter yourself during the exhale. Experiment with speed and intensity, and take breaks if you need it. Have good lube handy, and use as much as you need.

*Expect possible discomfort the following day. You might be a little sore from all the poking and/or stretching, but that is normal.

*If you hurt, stop. If you have any sort of injury or tear, keep yourself and clean and allow for healing before resuming.

Anal play is just the beginning

Anal play is dirty wicked sexy. It’s an area that some people avoid because of stereotypes, upbringing or fear, but if you are open minded enough to take the time, you will soon discover that no pleasure is quite like it. Devoting a little time to it will enable you to try bigger, thicker and longer objects. It takes practice and some coordination, but  you will soon find that anal masturbation only enhances stroking, and once you begin, don’t be surprised if you become an addict overnight!

You may choose to stay small and utilize anal play as an accompaniment to other sexual activity or just make your butt the main act. There’s nothing wrong with wanting, trying or liking it. Plus, there are many toys to work up to that you’ll never be bored. Anal training is absolutely essential if your fantasies include strap-on play or anal sex with real cock. If that’s what turns you on, it all starts with solo fun!
