Anal sex is absolutely fan-fucking-tastic when it’s done right, and proper preparation is an essential part of doing it right. There are some preliminaries involved to make sure that the recipient of anal penetration is going to have a comfortable, arousing experience. Don’t worry—it’s not as daunting as a flight checklist, but let’s just make sure that anal sex is going to be fun for both of you.
If you won the coin toss and opt to receive, defecate before anal sex to make sure that things are clean in there and that your partner won’t have to put up with any shit. Literally. Douching isn’t absolutely necessary, but make sure that your anus and rectum are clean prior to penetration.
Now for the warm-up exercises. If you’re the penetrating partner, treat your lover to all the foreplay and affection they need to get turned on and relaxed. The more relaxed they are from your erotic attentions, the more relaxed their sphincter muscles will be prior to engaging in anal penetration. They’ll be relaxed and hot for you, making penetration a more comfortable experience and a more arousing one. Hot anal sex is what we’re after, so don’t neglect this.
Perhaps the most important part of preparation for anal sex is lubrication. Hell, just pretend it’s the most important so that you don’t forget it. Since the anus and rectum don’t provide their own lubrication, you’ve got to provide plentiful lubrication yourself. Use plenty of water-soluble lube—don’t skimp on quantity, as nobody’s even experienced pain due to excessive lube, while using too little lube can lead to serious discomfort. Never use oil-based lubes, as they can degrade the condom that you’re using. And you are using a condom, right? Thought so.
In brief, follow these preparations for anal sex and you’ll both have a comfortable and arousing anal experience. The steps are easy to remember and none of these preparations are difficult. So for those who are about to engage in anal adventures with proper preparation, we salute you.
