Youve got a butt, but (heh) the odds are that youre probably ignoring it.
This is the first in a multi-part series from After Hours about anal play.
you’re free to see the other posts in the series as they come outhere.
You have control over your external sphincter, but not the internal one.
Men also have aprostate, which is located close to, but not inside of the rectum.
The prostate can be stimulated through the rectum.
Keeping it Ready for Visitors
Yes, poop comes out of your anus.
That squicks a lot of people out, and makes them hesitant about anal play.
But your rectum and anus are much cleaner than you might imagine.
The worst-case scenario is that youll wind up with a tiny bit of residue (resipoo?)
on your fingers, but its nothing a little soap and hot water cant take care of.
Its also easy to tidy up before anal play.
First, take a trip to the bathroom if you feel like you have to go.
Then take a shower, and wash your anus with soap.
Theres no need to have a go at clean inside of your rectum.
Wash your hands in the shower afterwards.
Really, thats it.
This is what you should be doing when you shower anyways, so its not a big deal.
If youre really paranoid, you’ve got the option to always try douching your asshole.
you could also conduct your first anal experiments in the shower, where quick cleanup is easy.
Easing Your Way In Alone
Ready for some butthole action?
Your own fingers are the best place to start.
First, ensure you have some lube handy.
Your asshole does not self-lubricate the way a vagina does, soyou absolutely need to use lube.
Next, wash your hands, and verify your fingernails are short and filed.
(You dont want jagged nails or sharp hangnails poking around in your butt.)
Do whatever you normally do to get yourself in the mood, and start masturbating.
When you feel ready, put a generous amount of lube on your finger.
Try out each of the following:
Place your pointer finger against your asshole.
Hold it against the opening and apply a tiny bit of pressure.
Trace your finger in slow circles, around the edge of your anus.
Insert one finger, just up to your first knuckle.
Its just a centimeter or two, so its not much.
Slowly move your finger in and out of your asshole.
Once your finger is fully inserted in your anus, try moving it in circles.
Experiment with going deeper or upping the thrusting speed if youre enjoying yourself.
Once youve found something you like, keep doing it for as long as it feels good.
Your muscles may even push your finger out of your butt.
Visiting hours are over!
A lot of people get nervous about anal, but its really not that difficult to explore safely.
Trust us, youll be happy once youve tried it.
