It's Anal August and there's no better time to start the journey of loving your bum than right now! Have you always wanted to try anal but you're not sure how to bring it up to your partner? We've got all the tips and tricks you need to make this conversation a total breeze.

Step 1: Do Your Homework

We know bringing up new topics in the bedroom can feel a little nerve-wracking, but don't sweat it! The first step is to do your research and get educated on all things anal. You'll be an expert in no time and feel totally confident discussing it with your partner.

Step 2: Casual Convo is the Way to Go

Once you're clued up, it's time to get chatty! The key to bringing up anal play is to keep the conversation relaxed and low-pressure. Don't make it some big, dramatic reveal. Instead, work it into a casual conversation over dinner or while you're snuggling on the couch.

Try something like: "Hey, have you ever experimented with anal? I was thinking it might be fun to try some anal play – what do you think?" Or, "Have you ever thought about giving anal a go? I've been reading up on it and I'm really intrigued!"

Step 3: Share the Goods

If your partner seems open to the idea, that's awesome! Now's your chance to be their guide. Share all the juicy details you learned – why it's exciting, what products to use, and how to make it comfortable and enjoyable for both of you.

Step 4: Brainstorm Together

Get creative! Ask your partner what they're curious about trying and what might make them feel more comfortable. You might end up with a whole list of new ideas to explore together.

How to Incorporate Anal into Regular Play

Want to dip your toe in the water before a full-blown anal adventure? There are so many fun ways to introduce anal play into your regular routine!

  • Finger Fun: If you're giving your partner oral sex, try gently stimulating their anus with your fingers. It's super sensitive and can feel incredibly pleasurable for both of you.
  • Rimming: Think of it as the anal version of oral! Use your lips and tongue to stimulate your partner's anus. It's a totally different sensation and can be incredibly arousing.
  • Toys Galore: Incorporate anal toys into your play – think beads, plugs, or vibrators – without even needing to try full-on anal sex. It's a great way to explore and get comfortable.

How to Prep for Anal Sex

Okay, you've agreed on the plan – now what? Here's your game plan for getting ready for some anal fun.

  • Cleanliness is Key: Before you get started, make sure to use the restroom and clean up down there. You can use wipes, a shower, or even just your hands to get things tidy.
  • Lube is Your Best Friend: Anal play requires lots of lube to be comfortable and safe. Use whatever type you like, just make sure it's water-based if you're using condoms or silicone toys.
  • Consider an Anal Relaxer: If you're nervous, an anal relaxer can help make things easier and more enjoyable. Just make sure it doesn't have numbing agents – you want to be able to feel!
  • Get Those Beads or Plugs In: Using anal beads or a plug during your regular sexy time is a great way to get comfortable with the sensation gradually.

Anal Lube: The Non-Negotiable

Look, we can't stress this enough – lube is a must for anal play. The anus doesn't produce its own lubrication, so you need to bring your own. Water-based is usually your best bet, but you can experiment with different types to see what you like best.

Toy Time:

Ready to level up your anal game? There are so many amazing toys to choose from!

  • Beads: Graduated beads let you start small and work your way up, making them perfect for beginners.
  • Vibrating: Look for toys with a vibrating feature that can stimulate both internally and externally for maximum pleasure.
  • Prostate Toys: If you or your partner have a prostate, these toys make stimulation a breeze.

The Bottom Line:

Anal play can be an incredible addition to your sex life, but communication and consent are key. Make sure you're both on the same page, feel comfortable, and are using protection if needed. And most importantly, have fun exploring this hot new frontier together!
