Anal for solo beginners

The most important things to keep in mind about trying anal sex are to start slow, lubricate, relax and communicate. Make sure any toy you use has a flared base, as toys can get sucked up into the rectum. Go to the emergency room instead. Working your way up also allows you to practice two skills fundamental to enjoyable anal play with a partner: relaxation and communication. Taking deep breaths and relaxing into the sensations involved in anal play can make it more enjoyable, and help your body acclimatize. Give and receive feedback throughout the process to make sure everyone involved is having a good time. Lubrication is key to avoiding discomfort during anal play.

Time to unlock the back door. Anal sex is often a thing people can be nervous about if they haven't done it before. There are certain things you already know if you're something of a pro , but what about if you're completely new at all this butt stuff? If you're going to have anal sex with somebody else, it might be best to try exploring yourself first. You wouldn't buy a new car without giving it a test drive first, right?

That being said, anal sex can be a big step to take, but there are certainly a variety of rewards for your relationship and more importantly, your own sexual pleasure by tapping into this tantalising taboo. The nerve endings around and inside the anus are highly sensitive, meaning that it feels oh-so-good to the touch. More so, the wall between the anus and the vagina is very thin, meaning that when once is stimulated, so is the other. You can even feel how thin the wall is by using your fingers — give it a try next time you get busy.

Anal sex is not everyone's cup of tea. The mystery and taboo that surrounds it might make it seem like the big thing everyone wants to try, but the bottom line is that some people like it and some people don't. So how can you tell if you do or you don't without doing, at least once? It's not like kissing, an activity that we explore through experimentation with others who we may not know or even particularly like.
