ALL ANAL PLAY
You've tried new positions, toys, and fantasies in the bedroom. Now you're wondering, what's next? Explore a sexual awakening with analingus. Using your mouth to stimulate the anus can be a very pleasurable experience if done right. As with any sexual activity, there are a few things to keep in mind before you begin. First, talk to your partner about the sexual activities you want to do. Sexual communication is the key to enjoyable and pleasurable experiences. Once you and your partner agree to try it, here are some do's and don'ts when it comes to analingus.
Consent
Do it - Give your partner consent or ask for their consent before practicing analingus.
No - Accept it and simply move your mouth toward the anal area when performing fellatio or cunnilingus.
Hygiene
Do - Practice proper hygiene. For example, if you need to go to the bathroom, do so before bathing or showering. Make sure your hands and mouth are clean. For added safety, use a dental dam (a thin sheet of latex that can be used to cover the anus during oral sex).
No - Don't use lotions or perfumes on your hands because their ingredients can irritate the anal area. Also, don't brush or floss your teeth right beforehand. This can cause small tears in your mouth, which can make it easier to spread sexually transmitted infections (yes, you can get them in your mouth) or cause other oral infections.
Comfort
either - Relax. If you're tense or anxious, the experience may not be as pleasant as you'd like. So take your time, find a comfortable position, and breathe deeply.
No - Make your partner rush. Just like with fellatio and cunnilingus, the more attentive your partner is, the more aroused you will be. Also, keep in mind that the anus is not self-lubricating, so try adding a flavored lubricant to the mix.
Strategy
Do it - Go from front to back, especially if you have a vulva and vagina. This is important when receiving cunnilingus and analingus in the same session or when participating in any form of stimulation that involves both the vagina and anus.
No - Going back and forth. This can increase the chances of passing bacteria from the anus to the vagina, which can cause irritation or infection.
Try these tips, and if you enjoy the pleasure, discuss other things you'd like to try. Some people stick to analingus, others practice anal play and anal intercourse. The choice is yours. Remember to always get (or give) consent before engaging in sexual activity and communicate with your partner at all times to enhance your experiences.
