A Guide To Anal Masturbation

Anal play is a difficult thing to ease into for many people, but it is a popular BDSM activity that can be pleasurable for either sex. For both men and women, the anus is a sensitive area. For women, it can sometimes stimulate the G-spot through the vaginal walls. Orgasms are possible through anal penetration for women, but usually it is just another activity that feels good. For men, immense pleasure can be found in the prostate – one study found that the male orgasm is 33% more powerful when the prostate is stimulated.

Anal stimulation isn’t for everyone, but until you try it you won’t know. According to the National Health Statistics study, 36% of women and 44% of men have tried some form of anal play. These figures suggest that heterosexuals are becoming more open to the idea of anal stimulation, with one in three women and almost half of the population of men having already started exploring the joys of anal play.
Why Do People like Anal Masturbation?

Women might wonder whether or even how they could enjoy anal play, especially because they don’t have a prostate like a man. However, many women do enjoy incorporating butt play into their masturbation sessions, and many can even orgasm this way. Even if you don’t achieve anal orgasm, it can still feel fantastic to insert items or even stimulate around the entrance of your anus.

For some people, the taboo alone is an intense turn on while others enjoy feeling stretched to the limit. Additionally, engaging in anal masturbation can help prepare you for more enjoyable, pain-free anal sex with a partner.

What Types of Anal Toys Are There?

Anal toys are both enjoyable and easy to use. But there’s a few things to take into consideration before purchasing your first toy.

Firstly, buy from a respected store and if possible, check the quality of the toy before purchasing. Choose a toy that is made from plastic or silicone, and avoid toys that are made from wood all costs.

Anal toys are generally broader at the base to prevent it for being sucked too far into the rectum – keep this in mind when browsing, to avoid any nasty surprises later. Beginners should start with something smooth and small, about the size and shape of a finger. Common anal toys include:

• Butt plugs are a great way for beginners to experience and explore the boundaries of anal sex. Designed specifically for anal play, a butt plug with gently stretch the anus and stimulate the sensitive nerve endings for out-of-this-world pleasure. They have a flared base for easy removal.

• Anal dildos are often shaped to stimulate the sensitive back wall of the vagina. When choosing your first dildo, go for one that is smooth with a tapered head for easier insertion. Once you are comfortable with using one, you can start exploring the different textures and sizes that are available. Experiment with angled dildos and thrusting. Dildos can also be used with strap-on harnesses.

• Anal beads are made up of a series of graduating balls on a flexible chain; great for those who are new to anal play and don’t know how much they can take. When choosing your beads, look for a set with a flared base or a ring-pull which will make them easy to remove.

• Anal vibrators are perfect for those who have already experimenting with anal play and the buzzing sensations elsewhere on the body. For those who are a little more experienced – the main attraction of a vibrator is that does all the hard work for you! Most come with different levels that regulate and adjust the vibrations, speeds and sometimes movement. Some vibrators have multiple prongs or extensions, which you can use for simultaneous perineum and/or vaginal stimulation.

If you don’t feel ready for toys, you can always use your fingers to stimulate the area if that feels good to you. Anal masturbation doesn’t necessarily have to include penetration – using a vibrator or your finger on and around the opening to your anus might be enough to send shivers down your spine!

Things to Keep in Mind

Sex can be messy, and even more-so when it comes to anal play. There are simply steps to take which will ensure that your experience is clean, safe and fun. First, empty your bowels at least 30 minutes before you start.

Since the anus does not lubricate itself, lube will make the experience more comfortable and pleasurable. There are plenty of anal lubes available which have a greater viscosity than the standard water-based versions. Creams and lubes that numb the anus should be avoided – pain is a sign that something isn’t right and without these signs you could cause some serious damage. If you feel any pain, stop what you’re doing, relax, and try it again.
