Not too long ago, I wrote the first half of this blog, ‘Should You Try Anal?‘ Instead of jumping right to all the ways to enjoy anal, I chose to spend a little time talking about the hesitancy that some people feel. There can be alot of nervousness about anal for all types of reasons. But I’m hoping that in the few weeks that have passed since my original mention of this, you might now be ready to dive right in!

The first lesson in anal play is to get to know yourself….

Ready for anal play? Use your own finger. Yes, a partner could help you, but I encourage you to get to know your own body, too. Make sure you use a quality lubricant, get into a comfortable position, and try to relax. Begin by massaging the opening of your anus to relax even further. Remember that if you are tense or anxious, you will have alot of discomfort. Spend a little time entering yourself and experiment with the sensation. If it feels good, keep your finger inside and go even farther. Play around with speed of your finger and enjoy what you’re feeling. Once you get the hang of this, you may want to try masturbating yourself further by stimulating other areas of your body at the same time. The results may surprise you, and you never have to go farther than this if you want!

Toys to use for anal play masturbation….

For those ready to try toys, take your pick! There are many on the market, and the possibilities are pretty vast depending on your mood or preference. You can choose an anal plug and leave it in for constant stimulation, experiment with an anal massager (vibrator) to see how it can enhance your sensation or insert beads that are connected and then pulled out for heightened enjoyment. Anal beads are popular and some folks have used them for years, so I mention them, but I do not recommend them. The reason I don’t is because they are often hard to clean, especially if the beads are connected by a string. You will always want to consider non-porous toys that can be sanitized, as opposed to surfaces that can harbor bacteria. I personally own an anal toy that can be used a vibrator or as anal beads! Balls of graduating size are inserted and removed, but it is all one piece like a wand, and is 100% non-porous and washable. Personally, I am also a fan of vibrators of all kinds. I love playing with them while I work them in and out……love it!

Choosing a route to explore anal will be personal and dependent on your preferences, but it will likely be after experimenting and trying new things. Take a look to see what’s available, and keep an open mind! Pleasure comes in many forms…..here’s hoping you find your best combination soon!
