When enjoying anal sex, proper preparation can make all the difference. Following these simple steps will help you feel ready, confident, and minimize the risk of any unnecessary clutter.
- Wash in and around the anus with warm water and unscented soap. The easiest way to do this is to gently rinse the anus with your fingers in the shower.

- Put the towel down to protect your sheets.

Common anal sex problems
What's it like having anal sex?
Anal sex is different for everyone, but it can feel a little unusual at first. When the nerves around the anus are stimulated, you may notice that your muscles are tense at first, but later on you will most likely enjoy the feeling and feel more excited as you relax. When you start to insert, you may feel like you have to defecate, but this is normal because you are using the same muscles. For some people, the insertion will be uncomfortable at first, but it should never hurt. As your muscles relax, you will be able to enjoy all the sensations of anal insertion.
Why do some people like anal sex?
The anus is a sexy zone, when stimulated, there will be a wonderful feeling. Anal sex is also slightly contraindicated and can be exciting. It also offers different feelings for both parties, making it a great way to add something new to your daily routine.
What to eat before anal sex?
While there is no diet to follow, eating a healthy diet to keep your bowels normal can reduce the risk of any confusion during anal sex. You should also avoid any food that has a laxative effect. Common culprits include spicy food, coffee and alcohol.
What's the best lubricant for anal sex?
Water-based lubricant is a good versatile lubricant because it can be used with condoms and silicone sex toys. You can buy a thick water-based lubricant, which is suitable for anal sex.
Silicone lubricant is safe, but it degrades silicone toys, so only use it when silicone toys are not in use. Silicon-based lubricants are more likely to slip than water-based lubricants.
