Anal Sex Toy Tips

Taboos abound concerning the anus and many people aren't comfortable with the thought of anal sex toy masturbation or penetration. However, an increasingly large number of people both in and out of the gay population are beginning to enjoy the intense stimulation offered through the sensitive nerve endings found in the anus. There is only one hard and fast rule when it comes to anal sex toy masturbation or penetration: select a smooth, well-lubricated, seamless sex toy for anal masturbation play which has a flared or larger base that prevents the sextoy from being lost in the anus.

Three additional things are critical for safe anal sex toy play: communication, relaxation, and lots and lots of lubrication because the anal canal doesn't produce any sort of lubrication to make anal sex toy play or anal penetration any smoother. The last thing you want to experience during anal sex toy play is the discomfort that comes with the insertion of a dry dildo sex toy. Take it slow with the sextoy, be gentle, and respect your partner's boundaries.

While many kinds of dildo sex toys can be used for anal play, you should always select a dildo sex toy with a flared base so that the sextoy doesn't get lost in the anus. Sad but true, sex toys do get lost in the anus if the sex toy is not constructed with a flared base. If you want to stay out of the emergency room, please choose a dildo sex toy with a flared base so that you won't become the next emergency-room anecdote! Your best bet for making sure that the dildo sex toy is acceptable for anal play is to purchase a dildo sex toy that has been specifically designed with anal masturbation in mind. Most online sex toy websites or sextoy catalogues feature a seperate anal sex toy section to simplify your choices.

Sexpert Tamar Love writes: "Available in all sizes and shapes, anal dildos have a wide, flared base attached to a tapering shaft, which can vary in size and shape from a long, twisted phallus-shaped [sex toy] rod, to a short, stocky [sextoy] model that can be worn without restraint. Many people enjoy the sensation of fullness [offered by an anal dildo sextoy that is] similar to the sensation women experience during vaginal penetration. Other people employ a thrusting motion with their anal dildos. Whatever works. Just be gentle -- otherwise you risk anal fissures and a host of other complications" from improper anal sex toy use.

Also known as anal plugs, anal dildo sex toys and anal beads are intended to stimulate the prostate gland in men. However anal sex toy masturbation and penetration has become increasingly popular with women. Anal plug sex toys can range from small to extremely large plugs for the more experienced users. When engaging in anal sex toy play, remember the golden rule of thumb: too much lube is never too much when it comes to anal sex toy play.

Always start off gently by rubbing the outside of the anus to relax it before you insert any sex toys or other objects. When playing with anal dildos start small and then gradually increase dildo size as your comfort level with anal play increases. The most important thing to remember during any sexual play is to communicate with your partner and gauge their comfort.
