Anal sex

What is anal sex? 

Penetration of the anus with either your partner’s fingers or a dildo.

We’ve all probably thought about it from time to time, but anal sex can be taboo for some lesbians. If you do decide to try it then it’s best to approach it with an open mind. If done properly anal sex shouldn’t be too painful or messy and you can get off on it too. The first rule of anal sex is cleanliness. Make sure you have a bowel movement before and then take a warm soapy bath or shower.

For a pain free poke certain factors must be taken. Firstly invest in lots of good quality lube. It helps to keep things slick, especially if your butt dries up with a sudden fright. Secondly always loosen up and relax the body before anal sex. Turn the whole shindig into a fun sexual experience rather than an anal examination.

Work your way up to it gently and at your own pace. If you are on the receiving end, call the shots and be vocal about how it feels for you. Remember this should be enjoyable. If you feel any pain, listen to your body and stop. Deep breathing and relaxation can help.

The great thing about lesbian anal sex is that unlike a penis, you can choose the size of the dildo or vibrator. You may wish to start with fingers and then progress from there. As your body becomes aroused, blood engorges the genitals, helping the body relax and penetration becomes easier.

Health risks

Anal sex is the riskiest activity for the arse because of the vulnerability of the anal tissue tearing. Not only is the lining thinner than that of the vagina, it’s not self lubricating and is fed by a richer blood flow, thus making it easier for a virus to enter the blood stream.

Never put your fingers or dildo into the vagina after they have been in the anus. If you do you’ll get a nasty bacterial infection. To improve hygiene it’s best to wear a latex glove or use a condom on a dildo. It’ll make the experience more streamlined and also lower the risk of transferring nasty bugs. Just remember to change gloves/condoms every time you enter a new hole. And with any lesbian sex, always try to keep your bodily fluids away from her genitals and visa versa. If you don’t wish to use gloves then keep your nails nice and short and filed. Obviously keep your hands clean too.

As always, if you decide to have anal sex with a man, wear a condom.

Remember, who ever you do it with, use lots of good quality water-based lube and if it doesn’t feel right for you then stop. Be relaxed and be safe – and don’t forget to have fun.
