 Anal Play for Beginners: How to Start Safely and Enjoy It

Why Try Anal Play?

Anal stimulation can be incredibly pleasurable – for everyone. But it’s an area where knowledge matters most. Done right, it’s safe, clean, and deeply satisfying.

Step 1: Preparation Is Everything

  • Wash hands and nails.
  • Empty bowels before play.
  • Use plenty of water-based lube (non-negotiable).
  • Relax – tension is your biggest obstacle.

Step 2: Choose the Right Starter Toy

Skip anything improvised – only use toys with a flared base to prevent accidents.

Step 3: Take It Slow

Insert gradually, using deep breathing. Explore external stimulation first – the nerve endings around the anus are sensitive and respond well to touch.

Step 4: Hygiene and Aftercare

Clean with mild soap and warm water. Sterilise silicone or metal toys. If any discomfort lasts, pause for a few days before trying again.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Using the wrong lube (always water-based).
  • Sharing toys without condoms.
  • Skipping the warm-up.
  • Ignoring communication.

Anal play should feel good – never painful.
