Some quick facts: let's talk about butt stuff ๐
I see a lot of topics about anal sex DAILY and I thought that maybe my experience can be helpful for those of you who wants to try some butt fun but have questions and doubts ๐๐ป As a medical worker (not sure how it's called in English) and just girl who doesn't mind some anal here and there I've got something to tell you ๐ฉ๐ปโโ๏ธ Sorry for my English, that's not my native language

So, let me just share my experience...
1) LUBE: In every post about anal sex you can find a person writing "YOU NEED TONS OF LUBE". Yeah, lube is definitely a must have for anal cause it's much drier than regular vaginal sex. Lack of lube can cause irritation and micro cuts that can't be healthy ๐ ๐ป cuts can lead to infections (cause you poop through that hole๐ฉ) and so on. We don't want that, right?
TMI: with my ex boyfriend, I rarely used any lube, just salvia (sorry, it's gross). It wasn't always bad actually... But it was years ago when I was reckless 20 yo student. Lube makes everything MUCH more pleasant! So use it, girl!

2) POSITIONS: That's a tricky one tho. I always thought that doggy is the best (you know, animal position and shit) but boy was I wrong. I found that if you're lying on your stomach with a cushion underneath you can relax easier and relaxation is a key ๐ But again, that's just me. As for old classic missionary - that can also work, but I don't really like it. The thing is that your colon was quite relaxed and straight. If you're standing, your colon is tense and naturally bent and it can be not so comfortable for you. Cowgirl? Can be really dangerous (tearing your anus) and hurting. So doggy is our choice!

3) PREPARATIONS: I still believe that spontaneous sex is the best (only if you want it ofc). Years ago I've tried douching (I was stupid, yeah), using enema (water or some special herbal infusions) or just washing it with my fingers. First of all, douching and regular enemas can be really harmful for your microflore. I repeat, HARMFUL. Second of all, douching and enema spoils all the fun! That's just ughhh so opposed to pleasure ๐ I can also say that it can be dirty no matter what: sometimes I wasn't prepared and all was clear and sometimes even after enema there was some poop (omg eww). So the best advise is: be sure to poop, then take a regular shower so that your butt was nice and clean and try to avoid eating a lot and especially eating risky food. But be ready: that's still BUTT, so it can be a little dirty. Prepare some wipes and take a shower afterwards.

4) CONDOMS: please, please use condoms! You don't want to spread the microflore from your butt to your partner's urethra and then to your vagina. That's why you should never let your so put his dick from your butt right to your vagina ๐ ๐ป Even if his penis looks clean it still can bring shit (literally) to your vagina and the natural balance will be off. That can cause diseases like bacteria vaginosis and some other (tell you that from my one experience). Condoms make it safer. Don't worry that it will be not so enjoyable for your partner: your butt is much more tight than your vagina so it still will be really great. Moreover sperm in your colon can cause diarrhea ๐ทeasier to avoid it with condoms - have some anal fun and go places, don't need to look for WC ๐ Plus it's easier to clean - just throw the condom away!

5) BEGINNING: First, relax! I mean, really. Tell yourself: "I can shit myself that's absolutely okay" (most likely that you wouldn't). You can practice alone with your fingers or let your partner do this. Start with regular sex, then let your partner slowly put a finger in (may be a good idea to not stop sex). You can also try some toys - tiny dildos, small plugs or chains (the last is the best). Then let your partner put just a tip in - that's the most difficult! Relax and breathe. Once it's all in, it will be less painful or not painful at all - your colon just can't fell anything like this, just your anus! Go slow and deep, it's better not to pull out too much (again because anus is really sensitive).

6) BLOOD IS NOT OKAY! I often hear people saying "there was a little blood, that's okay for the first time". No! Never ever in my life I had bloody anal sex. Blood means cuts and tears (or probably hemorrhoids). No good, stop immediately! If blood keep coming out, go see your doctor asap!
Well, that's the most important stuff I could think of. Hope you will find it useful! Thanks for reading and if you have any questions, ask me!
