How To Prepare For Anal Sex

Curious about exploring anal sex? Before entering the pleasure zone, take the proper precautions and ensure it’s safe, enjoyable and feels good by learning how to prepare for anal sex.

Published Feb 19 2021 8 min read

Anal sex has a bad rep - painful, dirty, unnatural are just a handful of terms that have become synonymous with anal sex, but these simply aren’t true. If anal taboos are getting in the way of you exploring the pleasurable world of anal play then re-educate yourself by finding out how to prepare for anal sex. Break down those misconceptions that could be limiting your pleasure. 

With that being said, if you are embarking on the journey of anal sex and prostate stimulation, taking the proper precautions and time to prepare for anal sex ensures it’s safe, enjoyable and feels good.

Avoid making any of the following common anal sex mistakes that can not only make anal play uncomfortable but also potentially dangerous:

  • Not using enough (or any) lube
  • Not spending enough time on foreplay
  • Not using protection
  • Not communicating well
  • Not going slow
  • Not cleaning up before going from anal to vaginal 
  • Not cleaning your toys

All of the tips on preparing for anal sex are written with these blunders in mind to ensure you make the most of this potent pleasure zone! 

 

1. Educate Yourself

Like everything, preparing for anal sex begins with education - researching around the topic is where the pleasure journey starts. 

Any question, no matter how trivial you might feel it is, is worth looking up, especially if it puts your mind at ease. Let’s not forget that anal sex is an umbrella term that doesn’t just refer to penetrative sex, but rather many sexual acts such as:

  • Penis in anus
  • Sex toy in the anus (this can be a strap-on or anal toys such as anal vibrators or butt plugs) 
  • Digital penetration (using your fingers to massage the outer area of the anus before gently inserting a lubed-up finger)
  • Oral (also referred to as rimming)

Without proper research, you may have assumed you only wanted one type of anal play but there is plenty to explore! 

 

2. Talk about it before, during, and after

Consent is key and surprising your partner with something you’ve read about but not talked about is not a good idea under any circumstances. Through communication, you can set boundaries, establish your comfort level and feel closer to your partner. It can be difficult to talk about sexual fantasies and desires with your partner, but if you feel too embarrassed to talk about butt-stuff then you probably aren’t ready to try and enjoy anal sex. 

 

3. Experiment on your own

Experimenting solo is important in getting you comfortable and learning to understand your body. Just like with solo sex, you can learn what sensations you enjoy and what you aren’t so keen on. Test the waters alone during anal masturbation with the use of your fingers or sex toys. This does not have to involve penetration - surface-level touching still counts for this erogenous zone filled with nerve endings. 

To start experimenting with anal play alone the first thing to do is relax - if you are all tense, the anal sphincter will tense up making this far less enjoyable. Take your time and set the mood for yourself, whatever puts you at ease - perhaps sexy music? Warming up is a big part of preparing for anal sex!

Start by rubbing lube (more on this later) on your finger and around your anus and whenever you feel ready, gently insert it into your anus. Start small and slow - one finger is an easy starting point. If you are worried about cleanliness then perhaps a pair of latex gloves would put your mind at rest. Listen to your body and your mind - experimentation is just that, so only do what you feel comfortable with. 

Once you’ve mastered this, you can build your way up to using anal toys to explore sensations with. Using sex toys such as anal beads can be a great place to start as you build up to larger anal toys. 

 

How To Clean Up To Prepare For Anal Sex

4. Clean up first

A lot of people are worried to try anal sex because of the potential mess - we’ve all heard the horror stories. Of course, you are exploring your anus, so you may come into contact with some fecal matter, yet that’s nothing to worry about as it’s normal, and quite frankly to be expected. The more comfortable you feel about a little mess, the less shocked and uncomfortable you’ll be if it happens. 

However, to minimize this risk it is important to make sure you clean the butt area beforehand, after all, something is going in your bum. A quick shower will suffice or go to the bathroom 30 - 60 minutes before anal sex. Empty your bowels and wash the anal area with regular soap and warm water. Or use unscented, hypoallergenic baby wipes as an alternative as for many this clean-up is enough.

You do not need to use a douche or enema to enjoy mess-free anal sex - your rectum keeps poo up high until it’s time for a bowel movement so clearing yourself out isn’t entirely necessary as a good wash in the shower will take care of any stragglers. In fact, enemas can do more harm than good as they can damage the area and irritate the cells in the rectum, which can lead to fissures and even the spread of STIs. 

However, if using an enema or douche would make you feel more comfortable with anal sex then make sure you are using one correctly and safely. Use the enema 1-2 hours before anal sex, with only a couple of cups of water to rinse out. If you use too much water you can stimulate your digestive system and make things messier than you planned! It is also important to use lukewarm water as if you use cold or hot water you’ll irritate your bowels. Remember: using an enema is not necessary for anal sex. 

 

5. Prep the bedroom

Stocking your nightstand with plenty of lube, cleaning wipes and protection is a great way to prepare for anal sex. 

You may also want to consider putting a towel down to ensure your bedsheets won’t get stained and make the clean-up of those bodily fluids easy - simply gather the towel up and throw it in the laundry. You might also want to use latex gloves during digital penetration to keep your hands clean, however isn't necessary for safe and enjoyable anal sex!

 

6. Lube and lots of it

Lube makes things wet and wild and generally should be your right-hand man/woman during all kinds of sex (solo, partnered, oral, penetrative, the list goes on…) - make lube part of every intimate moment! Lube is especially important during penetrative anal sex. The anus does not naturally lubricate like the vagina so without adequate lubrication the tissue can tear and the anal sex can be painful. 

There is an abundance of lube types to explore including silicone, water and oil-based lubes. 

Silicone lube's silky texture makes it great for preparing for anal sex but should never be used with silicone-based sex toys, as it can cause them to break down over time. Oil-based lube lasts a while but is messy and can’t be used with latex condoms, whilst water-based lubes are easy to clean up and perfect for exploring yourself with or without sex toys. However, it does tend to dry out quickly so reapply often and generously if this is your lube of choice!

 

7. Take it slow

When you are preparing for anal sex it is really important to take your time with all aspects - slow it down and communicate no matter what part of anal sex you’re enjoying. Whether using a penis, strap on or dildo, going slow means you can adjust to the size and sensations without being overwhelmed! By taking it slow you reduce the risk of hurting yourself or your partner, and you increase chances of enjoying yourselves! 

 

8. Warm-up with anal foreplay

Foreplay isn’t just a vital part of vaginal penetration but any sex - it is the perfect way to get you in the mood, relax and turn you on. Digital penetration is a great start to anal foreplay or if you are more of an analingus connoisseur then enjoy gently licking, sucking, and kissing the nerve endings in the anus for some sensual sensations. 

 

How To Use Sex Toys To Prepare For Anal Sex

9. Use sex toys 

Sex toys are a great way to enhance sensations you enjoy but when it comes to anal sex, not all sex toys are good to go. Anal sex toys and prostate massagers must have a flared base or bend around to ensure they do not get lost inside you, because yes, you can get a sex toy stuck in your butt and it’s far more common than you think. Just ask anyone who works at an emergency room. In terms of sex toy materials, silicone sex toys are best due to the non-porous and hypoallergenic nature of the material! Crescendo is a great anal vibrator to experiment with due to its slim, bendable design and ease of cleaning.

When you are using sex toys it is really important to thoroughly clean them before inserting them anywhere else or putting them away. This avoids bacteria growing on them and potentially becoming harmful to you and your partner(s). 

 

10. Pick your anal sex positions

Your sex life may consist of the same few sex positions but that doesn’t mean they are suitable for first-time anal sex. Remember to try sex positions that you feel comfortable with and that give the individual being penetrated as much control as possible (of the toy or penis). This ensures that no one is in discomfort. A great anal sex position is spooning sex by lying on your side the depth of penetration can be controlled!

 

11. Stay safe

Using protection is important in all aspects of sex whether vaginal, anal or oral as protection reduces the risk of sexually transmitted infections. This also means you can take the condom off and pop another one on should you wish to move from anal penetration to vaginal. This is extra important otherwise you risk moving bacteria from your anus to your vagina or urethra, which can cause urinary tract infections and other not-so-nice things. If you insert anything into your anus, clean it with soap and water and roll on a new condom before switching.

 

12. Aftercare

Aftercare is fundamental within any sex acts but you should allow extra time practicing aftercare when following a new sexual act. It is as simple as having a cuddle and checking in with your partner to make sure everything is ok, debrief the experience and just talk it out. If any bits were uncomfortable or even painful that you didn’t raise at the time - now is a great time to express those! Everyone should make an effort to incorporate aftercare into their sexual routine as it builds trust within your sexual experience, regardless of whether you are enjoying a one-night fling or this is a long-term partner! 

These tips should have you well on your way to preparing for anal sex and enjoying anal play that is mind-blowingly good!

I looked at various ED devices but wondered about how much was hype and how much was fact. I kept looking, saw many other ED solutions but Tenuto 2 looked most real. The day after Christmas I thought, what the heck, let's give it a shot. The device arrived quickly and I was impressed with how solid and quiet it was . The 4 motors was a new experience, that added a whole new dimension to the experience from all the other devices I've tried before. Over 2 months in, I'm very happy with my purchase and the company. I'm looking forward to new innovations they will come up with.

A friend recommended this brand to me. I got the crescendo and it's been my lifesaver, helping with pelvic floor issues and severe post-birth pain. The soothing vibrations helped alleviate cramps and relax my muscles. Their customisable vibrations and design provided relief and boosted my confidence. If you're a woman facing similar challenges, I highly recommend their products. Their focus on sexual wellness and health is evident in the thoughtful engineering of their devices. Love it!

After being diagnosed with prostate cancer and enduring radiation, I was afraid my sex life would be over. However I found Tenuto and I now have renewed vigor. After my first purchase, I have made several to increase my intimacy with my wife and wish I found this company sooner. I have also referred them to my urologist and oncologist to pass along to others that they can help. This is a true medical device company, and the information they regularly share on all sorts of sexual health topics is very informative and helpful.

The product has motors along the whole length which can stimulate externally and internally at the same time, delivering lots of stimulation on these very sensitive parts. I love how it's thin, which makes it not as invasive as some wider products, and the length is perfect for my clients who want to work on deep vaginal healing and need something to target all areas. This is something I'd recommend to them for that especially.

These products are extremely well made and designed to help with personal health. I had purchased a tenudo a few years ago but it didn't really work for me.

The customer service was more helpful and kind than any other online retailer. Without my wife's knowledge, I purchased the Crescendo as a birthday surprise. Alas, she was not interested. When I contacted the company, they immediately took care of the return and processed my full refund. To me, that's unheard of, as there was nothing wrong with the product. Plus, the email exchange has been most civil, absolutely polite. I hope everyone's customer service experience is as wonderful as ours.

The Tenuto is an interesting product. I'm still learning but I had a couple nice multi-ejaculation sessions, which is the main issue I had and why I bought it. Let Tenuto run a while after you finish for a nice sensation. Tenuto seems well designed and manufactured. It's durable and you can rinse it under running water. The battery seems very good. It hasn't run out on me and the recharge time after use is very fast.

I heard about this company on social media recently. I decided to try the device named Molto. Not sure what all I can say here as it is a personal device for men to help with performance with a partner. I have to say it actually did as advertised at least in my experience. The multiple frequencies it operates on do stimulate the prostate gland. I highly recommend it to anyone that needs some extra help.

It pleases me to be able to write this review. I had a personal issue with a item which seemed really well made and a quality product. This prevented me from using the product. I contacted customer service and a very nice person read my email, and considered my personal issues issued a full refund. That is not something you see today, a great customer service department and nice people involved in it. Once my personal issue is resolved, I will be back and purchase more items knowing that I am getting a very high quality product. Good customer service goes a long way and this was a job well done. thank you

Crescendo blows all my other products out of the water. Was a little reluctant at first due to the hype around 6 motors and being able to control individually, but once you get the hang of it, nothing else can touch it.

I purchased the Tenuto to help with a loss of sensation issue that is related to aging and being circumcised (delayed ejaculation). My urologist advised me to get this vibrator for the perineum to enhance sensation. The Tenuto has successfully enabled me to consistently climax once again. There is definitely a learning curve, but with patience and practice it is all good now. The vibrations are variable since they can be adjusted for different modes and strengths. I am very pleased with the strength of the vibrations compared to other male vibrators on the market. The battery charge lasts a very long time and the device charges rapidly.

I received my Crescendo around the same time I was put on antidepressant medication which gave me sexual side effects and my libido dropped pretty dramatically. My orgasms were on the brink of extinction. Then, I charged up my Crescendo and felt whole again.

My partner and I both are fans of the products, have the Crescendo and Tenuto.

If the products aren't for you they don't have to cost you, so well worth trying their product range.

Tenuto is an Interesting, well built, powerful, and satisfying product. It's true, there is a learning curve. But it hasn't discouraged me from using it at all. It took me a few times of using it to understand how to achieve the best experience.

I purchased the Tenuto Mini and was very pleased with the device yet, unfortunately there was a technical fault. I contacted Customer Service and they resolved it right away. From my experience I believe you can trust them to deliver First Class customer service. Also, it's worth pointing out that the Tenuto Mini I purchased was of high quality materials and construction.

Purchased a product that was not quite right for me personally. The team at MysteryVibe handled every aspect of the no hassle return smoothly, and efficiently. They are a model of how a company stands behind its promises regarding returns. Even though the product wasn't right for me, I still highly recommend MysteryVibe to anyone interested in their product lines because of their exemplary customer service!

Kudos to the company for developing a product that can be used solo and by couples. My first experience was solo. Getting the Tenuto on does take some getting used to, but I quickly learned the best way. I used the phone app and I was amazed at the stimulation in so many different areas. I let the app cycle through the different patterns and used different intensities to get an idea of what was possible. My body responded as one might expect and time to climax was much sooner than I expected. Another indication of a great product. Looking forward to trying this with my partner.

Each folding part has it's own motor inside of it, so there aren't any dead-zones. The whole thing feels very alive. There's also a perfect amount of stickiness to the moving parts. A+

I bought a product that did not work initially, and the customer support did an amazing job of giving directions on how to use it properly. It took a bit of time to figure out all the functions but now it's become an essential part of our bedroom. I'd 100% buy and support this company again.

I was very impressed with the response time in regards to my reporting a problem. In addition, it was escalated to the CTO which in my world is to the very top. We had a meaningful dialogue via email and am things got sorted out. It seems to have been user error and not machine or software issue. Terrific company.

I purchased the Tenuto (the first one) about 2 years ago. It worked fine so recently when the Tenuto 2 came out I got that one. This version of Tenuto has the same dimensions but more powerful vibrations, so I was very pleased. There is no other device like it on the market and I am glad to have the new one. Many thanks!

Finally got my Tenuto, felt like a kid on xmas day. Lovely packaging and instruction sheet about device. I have tried it for 'fit' and after a bit of reorganising my bits it looks and feels comfortable. Wow is my first word for my first time trying it...Very good feelings....! :-)

I can honestly say that in a fairly short period of time using the Tenuto it is a legitimate product that has exceeded my expectations. Great Job! The sensation each individual motor provides is one of the unique features that I feel separates it from other male devices. Until now I have been disappointed with the other products for men and questioned if a similar stimulation was achievable in men like it is with women.

What a wonderful company. Not only are their products great, their customer service goes above and beyond. My husband bought me the Crescendo almost 2 years ago. It's one of the best vibrators I have ever used. Love using it with my husband so much, I ordered the Tenuto as a Christmas gift for him. I recently lost the charging pad for my Crescendo. I couldn't find a replacement on the website. So I emailed the company to buy a replacement. They responded the same day and are sending me a new charger free of charge. Best ever!

I always have a hard time getting my knee to relax when it's flared up and wrapping the Crescendo around my knee with a gentle vibration has really helped. And having the app makes using it so much easier so I can just lie back and adjust the power remotely. This is a total life saver, especially in the winter.

Crescendo is a great product and a great company. My wife and I love Crescendo and have derived many hours of pleasure from it. It is one of my wife's favorites! Recently our Crescendo stopped working. The customer service team were so kind and helpful with getting our Crescendo replaced. In spite of the fact that it had been over 2 years since our purchase they stood behind their product and quickly and easily got us a replacement. Aside from just being great with the replacement there was a real warmth and appreciation of us as customers during the process.

After learning an earlier model first generation unit no longer had a charger I needed to replace my model. They simply gave me a free new device of my choosing with sincere apologies they couldn't assist my initial request since they no longer make that product. There was nothing technically wrong with my first unit, just I had lost the charger. The new package arrived and again the style, design, functionality, feel, and power is incredible. Many thanks! You are the best at this game!
