Are you wondering about your back door? It's time to discuss anal play with straight men!
Anal play can benefit persons of all genders and sexualities, particularly those who have a prostate. It's a personal decision, and there is no right or wrong way to approach it. Take your time, communicate openly, and enjoy the adventure of discovery with your companion.
Why a Straight Guy May Want to Consider Anal Play
There are numerous reasons you could be curious about your buttocks! First and foremost, human sexuality is multifaceted and cannot be easily classified. Wanting to investigate your body and desires is a normal element of human curiosity and self-discovery. And by experimenting, you can figure out what feels great and makes you want to keep doing it, as well as what isn't as gratifying or interesting. As the saying goes, don't knock it until you try it! For straight men, your prostate means you have a whole new pleasure centre to explore. The prostate (also known as the P-spot or male G-spot) is surrounded by numerous pleasure nerve endings, which can cause a full-body orgasm. That's accurate, a prostate orgasm is unlike anything you've ever felt from penile-only masturbation or penetration (as the insertive partner). Plenty of straight men enjoy having their prostate stimulated in a variety of ways.
Just as persons of any gender have different interests and preferences, a straight man may be interested in anal play as a method to broaden his sexual experiences and gain a better understanding of himself.
Does Anal Play Indicate That I'm Gay?
Hell no! Being homosexual is all about who you like, not what you enjoy doing in the bedroom. People of various sexualities have loved anal play over the years, so do not limit yourself because of your sexual orientation. It is very common for men to be inquisitive about anal play. Exploring new sensations is a normal part of human sexuality, and engaging in male anal play does not make you queer.
Steps for Getting Started With Anal Play as a Straight Man
Exploring anal play should always be done consensually, respectfully, and with mutual comfort and interest. It should also start slowly and with plenty of practice.
Begin a Conversation
Begin by addressing your desires, boundaries, and any worries you or your partner may have. Pay attention to verbal and nonverbal signs to ensure that both parties feel comfortable and respected during the talk. Consent should be enthusiastic, continual, and not assumed! Your partner should check in on you frequently, and remember that consent can be rescinded at any time. As previously stated, via experimenting, you may discover that anal intercourse is not for you, and you should be upfront and honest with your partner(s) if your preferences alter.
Consent should be enthusiastic and ongoing, never assumed! Your partner should check in on you on a regular basis, and keep in mind that consent can be withdrawn at any time. As previously stated, via experimenting, you may discover that anal sex is simply not for you, and you should be upfront and honest with your partner(s) if your wants change. Ongoing communication is essential for ensuring a consensual and happy experience for you and your partner as you begin to explore the benefits of anal play for men.
Get Ready & Comfortable
Once you've discussed your boundaries and desires, you'll want to be ready and comfortable before beginning your play!
Find a place where you and your partner are both comfortable, and then start by washing up. This could involve a brief shower for you, while your spouse must clean up any items you intend to use during your play session. If you choose to begin (or end) with internal stimulation, make sure your hands and any toys you use are clean and free of sharp edges that could cause injury. Always make sure you and your partner wash your hands and clean any items that may have been utilised.
Take Your Time
Patience and relaxation are essential components of effective anal play. Tension might cause your sphincter muscles to tighten, resulting in discomfort. So take deep breaths (think yoga breaths - in through your nose, out through your mouth) and move at your own pace. Begin with external stimulation around the anus, such as mild caressing, massage, or even analingus, to assist you and your partner feel more acquainted with the concept. Anal play isn't something you should jump into without sufficient foreplay to assist put the body and mind at ease.
Gentle touches, caresses, or massages around the anal area might gently ease you into the experience. Using large amounts of high-quality silicone-based lubricant is critical for reducing friction and increasing comfort. As you feel more comfortable, consider using a well-lubricated finger for gradual insertion, taking care to move at your own pace. Just maintain your nails short and smooth. If you or your partner experience any pain or discomfort, please stop immediately. Anal play should never be forced, and it is critical to listen for each other's cues.
Lube It Up!
Lube is very necessary for anal play due to the lack of natural lubrication in the anus and rectal area. Unlike the vagina, the anus does not lubricate itself. This can cause friction and discomfort during any type of penetration, increasing the risk of damage. Lube lowers friction, making the encounter more comfortable and pleasant. A silicone-based lubricant is recommended because of its superior slickness and endurance, as well as its compatibility with the majority of condoms. Water-based lubricants dry up rapidly and become sticky, making them unsuitable for anal play. Remember: spit is not lubricant!
Start with dilators and toys.
Once you and your partner are comfortable with your fingers, you may want to try strap-ons, dildos, or other sex toys. If you choose toys, start with smaller ones designed expressly for anal play (e.g., with a flared base to protect them from accidentally slipping inside you), then gradually increase in size as you become more comfortable.
Anal dilators are an excellent way to become acquainted to anal play, especially if you intend to participate in pegging. Anal dilators are available in a variety of sizes, beginning with smaller ones and gradually increasing in diameter. This progressive training can help you gradually acquire tolerance and adjust to larger items or penetrative activities over time.
Some guys believe that using anal dilators is pleasant in and of itself! Anal dilators can activate sensitive nerve endings in the anal area, thereby improving sexual sensations.
Start Exploring New Positions
Once you're familiar with basic anal play, experiment with switching positions or mixing sex acts. Not sure where to start with positions? Try them!
Cowboy, Cowgirl, or Cowabunga: This is my favourite starting position because it allows the receiving partner (the bottom) to control the depth and speed of penetration. It also brings both sides face to face, allowing everyone to read facial expressions and openly discuss what works and what doesn't.
Spooning is a posture in which both lovers lie on their sides, with one's front placed against the other's back. It enables comfortable and intimate penetration from behind, making it ideal for a gradual introduction to anal activity.
Reverse Cowboy, Cowgirl, or Cowabunga: This stance is similar to regular cowboy, cowgirl, or cowabunga, but they face each other (thus the term "reverse"). This still allows the receiving partner control over how quickly you move and how deep you penetrate, but it removes the capacity to detect facial cues (not to mention kissing!).
Doggy Style: This traditional position has one person on all fours and the penetrating partner entering from behind. It allows for deeper penetration and access to the prostate, making it a popular choice for male anal play. I advocate saving this for last, once you've mastered the earlier entries, because it gives the insertive partner all control, leaving the receiving partner in a submission position (literally).
Bent Over a Surface: A timeless masterpiece. The penetrating partner can enter from behind while the receiving partner is bent over a piece of furniture or a surface such as a table, desk, or bed. This position provides simple access and control over the depth and angle of entry. Similar to the doggie style, this should be kept for more advanced play.
To spice up male anal play, consider combining it with other activities. Maybe you want your spouse to penetrate you while you're down on them, or maybe you want all of the attention on you. It is up to you!
