Safe Anal Sex

Lubrication, Lubrication, Lubrication

Since the anus is not self lubricating like the vagina, lubrication is very important in any kind of anal play.  A good water based lube is best although some prefer oil based.  Just remember to keep oil based lubricants away from the vagina.  Always use more than less.

Gentleness in Anal Sex

And kind of anal play should involve gentleness and patience.  Take things slow especially if this is a new adventure.  Relaxing of the sphincter muscles is an art in itself, something some can catch on to right away while others may never get the hang of it.  By relaxing the sphincter muscle penetration can be easy and painless and can be a truly exciting experience. 

Cleanliness in Anal Sex

Cleanliness in anal play is a must.  Before engaging in this kind of play it is always a good idea to empty the bowels first.  Baths or showers before any kind of sex play always makes the experience more enjoyable.

The Anus and Vagina

Never, Ever switch your penis, fingers or sex toys between the anus and vagina without a good wash down.  Bacteria from the anus can cause very painful infections in the vagina.  One solution is the using of a condom and when making the switch, change condoms.

Foreign Objects and the Rectum

When playing with any kind of sex toy you run the risk of bruising the inner walls of the rectum if you sex toy is too big or you do not use enough lubricants.  Also the risk of losing an object if very great if the sex toy or object does not have a flared base which in turn could cost you a very embarrassing trip to the hospital.
