I need advice on anal please.

Hi. My husband and I have been married for 6 years now and have a beautiful 10 month old son, and we're in the process of adopting an 8 month old boy to be our second son. We wanted to spice up our coitus and he finally gave in to trying anal. I purchased KY, it was painful at first and then became very pleasurable. Needless to say, we now want to try it out more.

Is there anything out there that works better than KY so that we don't have to reapply as much? Obviously I'm still pretty sore today, he is blessed in the nether regions thank God. How long does it take to get used to? No I didn't bleed at all and I have not torn, we checked. Thanks in advance for your advice and suggestions.
