4 Hot Tips For Exploring Anal Pleasure

4 Hot Tips For Exploring Anal Pleasure

It is kind of hard to believe that anal sex used to be considered ultra taboo! These days, pursuing bum fun has become almost entirely mainstream. Ass sex has risen in popularity so much that it is now mentioned in movies and even television. Everybody’s getting into the hot tail train.

How this change in perspective happened is not really clear. Was it because porn started featuring anal sex more as way to distinguish itself from other films—until all porn movies started featuring it? That could be part of it. It could also be the democratization of sexual education, in large part due to information being shared online. Where anal was previously thought of as dirty and painful, more readily available information has taught folks that there is nothing inherently nasty about ass sexytimes and that it is possible for it to not hurt at all.

And that’s what brings you hear now. You’re probably curious about anal sex, and maybe you’ve even tried it a few times. But you’re not sure what to do. You’re not sure how to make it not hurt. You’re not sure how to ensure everyone, including you, are comfortable with trying out butt stuff.

Let’s explore anal sex together.

One of the great ways to think of anal sex is that it is truly egalitarian. For the most part, we all have buttholes. Every gender, every orientation. Everyone has an asshole and everyone has the potential to enjoy some truly amazing erotic sensations when exploring that area. And to that idea, when you begin to explore your own ass or someone else’s, most of the same advice applies.

1. Go Slow

So, you and a sexytime friend have decided to take a trip to the backdoor. You’re both excited. You’re both eager. You both want to experience something new and special. And all of this anal fun is going to be so hot!

Now that you’re all worked up, you have to do one key thing: slow down. Slow right down. Take those hands off that ass and sit back for a second and listen: Yes, it is possible to enjoy anal touch and penetration without it hurting. However, this possibility is not a given. If you rush, if you don’t warm up, it is distinctly possible that you will hurt your partner. Always remember this!

Now, in all likelihood, you don’t actually want to cause your lover discomfort. You’d rather bring some pleasure, right? So, go slow. Start with a full body massage. Work every single muscle on their body until your partner is a happy, horny ball of relaxation and excitement. Being relaxed will help your partner be comfortable and loosen up the anus. Establishing this ease will help with every further anal activity. And don’t forget, check in with your partner every step of the way to see how they are feeling.

2. Consider Rimming

When considering ways to both heighten bum fun excitement and make the path to relaxed pleasure more possible, there is one super hot assventure that some people are still getting on board with. Rimming is licking your partner’s anus and it can be magnificent!

Some folks aren’t on board with rimming, and that is okay. But if you are curious, rimming is a very intimate activity (obviously) that also feels great! A wet tongue is a perfect addition to an eager ass. You can get things nice and wet and ready, all while watching your partner’s eyes roll back in their head from pleasure.

3. Lube! Lube! Lube!

Okay, here’s a completely non-negotiable part of exploring anal sex: You have to have lube on hand and at the ready. Other than light, exploratory touches or during rimming, lubes is an absolute must during all anal sex fun.

Repeat those words: lube is a must for all anal fun.

One of the great ways to explore different qualities of butt sex to discover whether you like them or not (giving and receiving) is to try different lubes during different activities. Lube comes in different types (predominantly water-based and silicone) and each of these varieties have different viscosity, texture and lasting power. The best way to learn what you like best is to try different lubes!

4. Finger Fun

Whoever you are and whoever your partner is, a great way to explore your own ass is first with your finger. Fingering your own butt can be a challenge, depending on your body. But it is best to really get a feel (no pun intended) for your body before someone else does. You’ll quickly learn about what you like and don’t like and you can then guide your partner. You’ll also be more familiar with the pain potential and how to avoid it. Remember, there’s nothing that says this has to happen on your own (though it can if that makes you more comfortable). Doing your own anal exploration with your partner will be both instructive and incredibly hot!

Are you feeling ready now to explore anal pleasure? Have fun!
