Anal Sex Techniques

Once you and your partner have become comfortable with regular anal sex there are some different techniques you may want to try.

Some of these may even be beneficial if you are considering going anal only and wish to enhance your lovemaking.

The article includes this useful tip:

Don’t always use the bedroom. With practice and repetition, you may find you don’t need to go through as much preparation for anal sex. Some women, with a fair amount of experience, find they only need to apply some lubrication to their partner’s penis and they are ready. Keep small packets of lubricant on you at all times since you never know when your partner may want to “bend you over.”

For it really is a myth that anal sex requires that much more preparation time or is in any way more difficult to perform. The rectum is generally clear and clean, and even without ‘proper’ lube even saliva is sufficient for a woman to admit her lovers penis should the situation demand it. You really can have anal sex any time, anywhere, just as you would have done vaginally.

Q&A: Is Anal Sex Safe?

Read about this woman, with her all too frequently asked question, caused by a popular misconception:

…the question is this: will frequent anal sex ruin my muscle

Like many women she naturally wants to indulge in regular anal sex with her partner for their mutual enjoyment, but is anxious that she may be doing long term damage.

As the good doctor herself replies, this is very unlikely to happen; millions of people across the world, and throughout history have enjoyed anal sex, yet anal incontinence remains very uncommon.

It is unfortunate that this myth which does not stand up to scrutiny stands in the way of so many enjoying a life of anal sex to the full.

Be assured that you can begin practising anal only today and no harm will come of it, provided you follow the usual precautions such as use of adequate lubrication and stopping at any point you feel discomfort—anal sex done properly is about pleasure.
