Anal Sex and Anal Lubricants

When it comes to anal intercourse it does not matter how experienced you are, anal lubricants are imperative as the anus and rectum do not naturally provide their own lubrication therefore anal sex without an anal lube would be a particularly painful encounter. Anal lubricants help the participant to have more enjoyable anal intercourse.

Can anyone participate in anal intercourse?

A popular misunderstanding surrounding anal intercourse is that it is solely a pursuit for gay men. This is not true. A considerable number of heterosexual couples also get satisfaction from anal sex. Water-based anal lubricants and good quality condoms help to ease the penis into the anal passageway more comfortably. Nonetheless, it is imperative that anal intercourse is taken slowly as the lining of the rectum is delicate and can easily be damaged by frenetic thrusting. This is particularly the case if the ‘receiving’ partner is not completely relaxed. Whatever the sexuality of the couple, prior to taking part in anal intercourse it is necessary to make sure that your other half is completely happy with it. If one partner does not take pleasure from anal intercourse, it is best to stick to sex that both partners are happy with.

Are there different kinds of anal lubricants on the market?

Anal lubes are not just available in the form of gels; coming either lightly scented or odourless, anal lubricants are also available in a range of sprays and creams. Anal lubes differ from everyday sexual lubricants as they are especially designed to be used with condoms, and aim to relax the muscles around the anal area without losing any sexual sensations thereby allowing for easier penetration. Anal lubricants are now designed with the wants of men and women in mind, and can also be utilised with the use of anal sex toys.

Why use a condom for anal intercourse?

It is advisable to always use a condom when participating in anal sex. Not only does this significantly reduce the possibility of contracting a sexually transmitted infection or STI, but it also decreases the risk of pregnancy. A woman can still get pregnant from anal intercourse although the risk of this is far lower than from vaginal sex. If a condom is not used, semen could easily leak out of the anus and into the vaginal passage.

The most imperative thing to remember where enjoyable anal sex is concerned is choosing a good quality anal lubricant.
