Step 1: Clean ass for a good preparation

Hygiene is paramount while trying anal sex for the first time, so don’t underestimate it. New to sodomy, make sure to clean your rectum properly with water to wash away any poop remains. You can do that with an enema bulb to clean the inside of your ass. Unlike vaginal sex (the vagina cleans itself), you need to be extra careful to wash your anus properly.

Step 2: Don’t forget your lube and condoms for your first time trying anal

Make it glide

Pick a good lubricant crafted for anal sex. Water-based lubes or silicone, you’ll need a lot of lube for an enjoyable sexual experience.

Unlike a woman and her vagina, the anus doesn’t lubricate itself. It sure is important to use a lube on the anal area. Ideal for smooth and pain-free penetration, whether it is a penis or things like sex toys (dildos, butt plugs…). So truly, you need lube, lube, and more lube.

Health first: don’t forget your condoms

We highly recommend you use condoms while trying anal for the first time. The anus contains many nerves and poses a high health risk for STDs (sexually transmitted infections).

Watch out for anal fissures that can occur during anal sex, and feel painful. Wearing a condom also prevents sperm from remaining inside the ass.

Step 3: Open discussion about desires with your partner

Start communicating with your partner before trying anal play for the first time. This is the key to a successful sodomy. Discuss with your partner before the anal penetration to get to know each other’s desires and find common ground.

This is an important step to live the best anal sex experience. Many people often rush into it, and that’s not a good idea.

Also, discuss your fears, some people for exemple are afraid to poop during the act (which rarely happens btw) and lose confidence.

We advise you to take your things slow and start with foreplay before getting down to business and prepare anal sex for the first time. Slowly caress your partner’s body (breasts, clit, fellatio, masturbate the penis…). Don’t forget to massage the anal zone.

Watching porn can help you while butt play. How? Watching a porn video before sodomy will increase sexual desire quickly. It prepares the body, and the anus, to relax before the experience. You will then enjoy your first time trying anal and discover new sensations.

You can also talk to your partner during the anal sex to guide your partner and give them confidence. Keep in mind you’re not shooting a porn video.

Communication is the key to an intense and exciting anal orgasm. Feel free to guide them, change sex positions… to reach orgasm. If it feels painful, let them know.

Discussing after anal sex is also important to help express your preferences (positions, rhythm..). It will strengthen your relationship and allow you to enjoy even more your next anal sex and try new positions.

Feel relaxed before anal sex thanks to poppers

Whether you’re a sex anal amateur or an initiate, feeling relaxed is essential for butt play. The anus sure is a very sensitive zone of the human body.

This area is extremely innervated and vascularized. The anal zone contains muscles known as sphincters. They contract during the act as a reaction. To practice and enjoy good anal sex, it is important for people to feel comfortable and relaxed both mentally and physically.

To relax the anal area fully for smooth and pain-free penetration, you can use poppers! These small glass bottles act like an aphrodisiac and a sexual booster used by gay and straight couples to practice anal sex. Thanks to its vasodilatory effects, poppers help relax anal muscles. It’s the ideal companion for pain-free anal sex so you can focus only on pleasure.

Feel the rush of euphoria invade your body and gain in confidence, you’re going to need for your first time engaging in anal.
