If you are looking to explore new ways to masturbate, why not consider anal masturbation? It's taboo, and the anus can bring pleasure, especially if you want to look beyond penis stimulation to prostate play. Below you'll find the beginners guide to get you started.
Getting Started with Anal Masturbation
You may feel more comfortable if you prep. A thorough scrub between the butt cheeks is all you really need, but you can go the extra step with an enema or, and some people prefer to start with wet wipes. If you're worried about the mess, the shower might be the best place to get down and dirty.
Slow and steady wins this race. Keep calm and relaxed, and remember to breathe. Starting with your fingers is great because they're pretty small. Either way, apply plenty of lube to fingers or toy. Insert slowly. You can bear down slightly to make insertion easier. Once inserted, you can try thrusting or twisting or simply leaving your toy inserted while stimulating yourself. Remember to always be well lubricated to not cause any friction or micro tears!
Safety First
Although anal masturbation can be incredibly intense and pleasurable, you must prioritize safety. Only use anal toys with flared bases or handles for backdoor play to prevent them from slipping inside. If you want to try anal beads, choose those made from one piece of hygienic silicone, not those with actual string in between each of the beads. Finally, don't use any makeshift "toys" that might become lost or break inside of you. These tips all prevent expensive and embarrassing trips to the emergency room.
Finally, make sure you use plenty of lube (spit doesn't count!) because the anus doesn't self-lubricate. Water-based is usually your best bet if you want a pillowy thick lubricant. However, it will wash off in the shower, so silicone lubes are the best options during those times. There also that are specifically formulated for anal play, with the right consistency and velocity to facilitate anal play. Remember to perform a spot test when using silicone lube with toys. Place a dab of lube on the base and rub vigorously for five minutes. If the toy becomes sticky, do not use it with that lube. It will destroy the material of the toy.
