Best Anal Sex Positions

The tides are turning, and anal sex is breaking free from its taboo chains! GREAT NEWS: women can enjoy the booty fun just as much as men do.

I've met plenty of women who are totally into anal play, and swear by its unique pleasures. It's a whole different level of fullness and intimacy (especially if you're both exploring it for the first time).

According to sex educator Searah Deysach, owner of Early to Bed, anal sex is a wild adventure open to anyone willing to explore! It's not limited to any specific gender or sexual orientation.

So whether you're eager to experience anal for the first time or expand to your current positions repertoire, we've gathered a treasure trove of anal sex positions that will make your experience nothing short of amazing.

Oh, and we've got a "buttload" of them (pun intended!) to keep things spicy and adventurous.

How to Have Safe Anal Sex

First things first, remember the golden rule: go slow and small. Start your exploration with gentle finger play, gradually moving from small to larger sizes.

It's all about relaxing, easing into the experience, and letting your excitement build naturally.

Oh, and let's not forget our trusty sidekick, lube! It's your ultimate companion on this thrilling escapade.

Alongside fingers and lube, don't forget to include a crew of small toys, like anal beads. These miniature treasures work wonders in getting you ready for the main event.

And a friendly reminder: avoid switching from the backdoor to the front without cleaning up in between – let's keep those bacteria at bay, people!

But here's the final tip: stay connected with yourself and your body throughout the journey. If you need a break or take a step back, there's no shame in it until you're a little more comfortable.

If you're still unsure about any of this (which is entirely acceptable! Never force yourself to do anything you don't want to.)

What Does Anal Sex Feel Like The First Time?

The first time engaging in anal sex can be a unique and unfamiliar experience for many individuals.

It's common to feel a tight sensation initially, similar to stretching a resisting muscle. Some may describe it as uncomfortable, feeling strange or even like a muscle cramp at first.

However, with time, patience, and relaxation, the discomfort can ease, and the sensations may become more pleasurable.

It's essential to go at your own pace, use plenty of lubrication, and communicate openly with your partner about what feels good and what doesn't.

You may also feel the need to poop during anal sex, especially if you're a beginner.

It's essential to remember that this sensation is entirely normal and often arises due to the proximity of the anus to the rectum, where stool is stored.

How Does Anal Sex Feel Like Over Time?

The experience of anal sex can vary from person to person and may change over time based on factors such as comfort level, practice, and relationship dynamics.

Here are some common ways that individuals may describe how anal sex feels over time:

• Comfort and Relaxation: As individuals become more experienced with anal play and develop trust with their partner, they may feel more comfortable and relaxed during the act. This can lead to increased pleasure and a more enjoyable experience.
• Increased Sensation: With practice, some individuals may find that the sensations during anal sex become more intense and pleasurable. This can be attributed to numerous nerve endings in the anal area, which can be stimulated with gentle and considerate touch.
• Reduced Discomfort: For some people, the initial discomfort they may have experienced during early attempts at anal sex may decrease over time. Proper preparation, adequate lubrication, and taking it slowly can help minimize discomfort.
• Emotional Connection: Over time, couples who engage in anal sex may develop a deeper emotional connection and intimacy. Sharing intimate experiences can strengthen the bond between partners and contribute to a more fulfilling sexual relationship.
