Anal Sex Toy
Who doesn't love a pros and cons list! While we don't think you should base your sexual decisions on a pros and cons list, we hope this gives you the information you need. If anal sex comes in many forms, that's what you want to try!
Anal sex is inclusive; All you need is an anus and the desire to stimulate it! Anal sex games are very enjoyable for people of any gender, genital or sexual orientation. You don't even need penetration to enjoy anal sex.
What is anal sex?
Although we have come to understand the meaning of the word "sex", this is just one of many activities that fall under the broad and rich category of "sex"!
While we're on the subject, penetrating anal sex includes inserting anything, although I highly recommend sticking to fingers, tongue, penis or sex toys such as anal beads, anal penises, or prostate massagers!
The benefits of anal sex
- Take advantage of these sensitive areas.
The anus is surrounded by sensitive nerve endings that make it feel wonderful when touched. Touching, licking, or using a vibrator around the anus is enjoyable.
- The happiness of the penile owner
The anus can irritate the prostate. If you were assigned male at birth, you have a prostate, which is located in front of the rectum. Both internal and external anal sex can stimulate the prostate and even allow you to experience a prostatic orgasm.
For some people, this can give them a whole new orgasm, one that can occur independently of ejaculation! Many men describe prostatic orgasm as a systemic phenomenon. Men's Health asked 10 men to share their experiences of prostatic orgasm. They sound incredible!
- The pleasure of the vulva master
If you have a vulva and all those delicious and sensitive nerve endings around the anus, anal sex can stimulate the vaginal wall and give you a new way to orgasm. You can also consider double-insert toys that use a two-penis or two-headed vibrator to increase the sensation of the vagina.
- Increase intimacy with your partner
Anal sex requires a certain level of trust and relaxation, and full penetration takes a while. Sharing this with your partner is a very intimate experience and can help show that you trust and care for your partner. Experiencing new things together is also a great way to connect with your partner.
- Changes in the bedroom!
Sometimes we get into sexual routines. While this is great, it can also be a bit boring. Anal gives you a whole new way to play with your partner.
With the advent of anal sex, you and your partner can enjoy a stimulating world of anal sex toys. From butt plugs and anal beads to probes and vibrators! Check out this section of our top anal toys below!
- There is no risk of pregnancy.
It's like Lily Allen used to say something like "You can't get pregnant on your butt"! Yes, you can't get pregnant through anal sex, although you should always practice safe sex (e.g., use condoms) to prevent the risk of STIs. You also need to be careful not to get semen into your vagina. If there's anything wrong with sperm, it's that they're very strong!
- Except for vaginal intercourse during menstruation.
If you haven't tried vaginal sex during your period, it can feel great and even help with period pain, so I recommend giving it a try, but I also understand that it's not for everyone! Anal sex can provide an alternative if you don't like sex during your period but want to have sex anyway.
The downside of anal sex
There are a few things to consider before attempting anal sex. Just like any sex act, anal sex is risky, but fortunately, with the right safety precautions and preparation, you can enjoy safe anal sex.
- Defecation fear factor
Of course, any activity involving the anus carries some risk of confusion, but there are ways to prepare for anal sex and minimize the risk. First, always empty your bowels before anal sex. Next, take a hot bath and gently rinse around and inside the anus with your fingers and warm water. You can also rinse the area inside the anus with an anal doucher, but this is not necessary. The newer flexible ones are the most comfortable to use.
- It may be uncomfortable at first.
While anal sex shouldn't hurt, it may be uncomfortable at first, especially if it's not relaxing. You have some very strong muscles, including your sphincter. They can be good at preventing any accidents, but they also need to learn to relax and make anal sex enjoyable. That's why foreplay is so important.
- The risk of sexually transmitted infections
Anal sex carries a higher risk of infection because the skin is more fragile and prone to tearing and spreading. It is important to use condoms regularly. Remember not to share toys with others unless you give everyone a new condom. The dental barrier (horrible name, I know) is very useful for practicing safe oral-anal sex (aka Rimming or analingus).
- The risk of urinary tract infection or bladder infection
If the bacteria move from the anus to the vagina, it can cause an infection, such as a urinary tract infection. Things in the anus should not go into the vagina. This means using a new condom on a toy in the penis or anus and washing your hands after anal sex. In short, if you put it in the B hole and then in the V hole, you get a painful P hole.
- Lack of natural lubrication
The anus, unlike the vagina, does not lubricate itself, so lubrication is needed. Smooth lubrication not only helps things run smoothly, that is, it also reduces the risk of friction-induced microtears. Water-based lubricant is a good choice because it is compatible with condoms and silicone toys, while silicone lubricant is safe but cannot be used with silicone toys. Don't forget to reapply. Please do not use lubricant! Lubricators are great for applying grease where it's needed!
- Possible loss of bowel control
Anal intercourse causes relaxation of the muscles that control poop, leading to a degree of anal incontinence or leakage of urine. This varies from person to person and can be improved with pelvic floor exercises.
