If you didn’t already know, the clitoris isn’t the only place a vibrator can go! Anal play is great fun and a vibrator is one of the many toys that can add a novel sensation. The anus is equipped with many erotic nerve endings – so with a little help from an anal toy, you’ll soon experience an orgasm like no other. For those who are thinking of getting kinky and trying anal play, toys are an exciting way to start off.
Anal Vibrator
The great thing about anal vibrators is that they can be used elsewhere on the body for added stimulation; just be sure to clean it thoroughly after being used in anal play. While there are many different ways to use a vibrator during anal play, if you’re going to use it for penetration, you should choose a vibrator that’s been designed for anal play. These are not only safer, but will feel incredible! Anal vibrators are shaped to provide comfortable penetration and fantastic sensations to the sphincter rings, so be prepared for a mind-blowing orgasm!
Choosing a Vibrator
Most anal vibrators come with a tapered head for easy insertion – if you’re trying anal play for this first time, I recommend sticking to this shape. Beginners should start off with something slim for maximum comfort; it’ll provide the perfect introduction to the delights of anal vibrators. Anal toys come in a variety of materials, but plastic and latex remain the most popular. Latex toys tend to cost a little more than plastic, but gives the user more options. Latex vibrators, like plastic, are firm enough for deep penetration, but tend to have a little more flexibility to experiment with. Keep in mind that latex has much more friction than plastic – so apply a generous amount of lube when using. And of course if you have a latex allergy avoid anal vibrators made of this material.
When it comes to vibrations and textures, it’s a matter of preference. Modern day vibrators can range from very gentle to a level that only some can enjoy. The level of vibration that will get you to orgasm is variable, however I recommend always starting with the lowest intensity setting and experimenting with higher settings to see what feels comfortable for you.
Preparation
Preparing beforehand will help you relax, and you need to have relaxed muscles if you want to get the most from the experience. First, make sure that the environment you’re in is warm and comfortable. Also, give yourself plenty of time to explore – don’t try cramming in a ten minute session before picking the kids up. Here are a few other things to consider beforehand:
Hygiene Matters
Trying to urinate and have a bowel movement is always advisable before anal play, and will reduce the chances of making a ‘mess’. Unless you need the toilet, faeces is not generally stored in the lower anus where toys can reach. And so, a vibrator, penis, or other toys should not accidentally loosen anything up there.
Some like to make sure that everything is squeaky clean; if this is the case, you may also want to use a douche. A douche, essentially, deposits water into your anus and gently removes some of the extra mess that is stored a little further up. It’s not an essential part of the process, and is simply a matter of preference.
Lube
For any and all kinds of anal play, lubrication is recommended – unless you want to risk hurting yourself. There’s an impressive variety of lubes to experiment with, just remember to use generously. When choosing a lube, be sure it’s compatible with your toy (for example, if your vibrator is made of silicone – do not use silicone lube) and don’t ‘drown’ your vibrator with lube unless it’s waterproof. I recommend applying lube to your body and vibrator to ensure maximum comfort and enjoyment.
Position
Anal play is usually easiest when you’re on your hand and knees (i.e doggy style); a vibrator will slide in with ease and you remain in control of how deep and how fast you go. Find the movements that feel good for you; start with slowly sliding the vibrator in and out. When you feel more comfortable, start playing with different vibrations, speeds and twisting motions until you find the combination that works for you. This may sound obvious, but never insert a vibrator so far that it is not easy to use, to hold, or to retrieve. This will only end with an embarrassing trip to the local hospital.
