Tips to stimulate the anal area
To enjoy anal sex to the fullest, the most important thing is prior stimulation of the anus and other areas and relaxation. The anus is narrower than the vagina, so there is more friction, which will be pleasurable if there is prior stimulation, otherwise you may feel pain.
Therefore, do not forget to include this zone in the games before penetration. You can help yourself with sex toys, there are specific ones for the anus that favor its dilation. Also, keep these tips in mind:
- Do n’t rush : take time to stimulate the whole body and penetrate little by little, stopping and starting again as many times as necessary. Double stimulation is usually key, that is, it accompanies anal sex with genital masturbation.
- Lubrication : the anus does not have the natural lubrication of the vagina, so it is advisable to always use a lubricant, preferably silicone-based so that friction does not bother. In our article Which lubricant to use for anal sex, we give you all the details so that you can find the most suitable one.
- Softness : avoid sudden maneuvers that can hurt, since the walls of the anus are not as flexible as those of the vagina. Make delicate movements.
- Hygiene : Good hygiene is important both before and after anal penetration. Include a shower with your partner(s) as part of foreplay, if applicable, avoid going from the anus to the vagina to prevent infection and change condoms if you do.
- Trust : anal sex has to be agreed upon by the couple, both of you should feel comfortable and relaxed and stop otherwise. If you feel doubts about this practice and still do not dare to take the step to penetration, you can try some anal sex toys to enjoy it, either alone or with your partner(s).

Sexual positions for anal sex that you should try
There are several recommended positions for anal sex because they facilitate penetration. Do not be afraid to experiment and choose the most comfortable and pleasant for you. Some of the alternatives are:
The doggy
It is very familiar and simple. One person gets on all fours or knees with their arms and head supported while the other, with their hands and mouth free, kneels from behind. The penetration is very deep, which can be annoying at first.
Side
This position allows greater control of the depth of penetration. You have to lie on your side and the partner(s) must be behind and also to the side. The legs are separated and the upper leg is placed back, over your partner. Both of you will have your hands free to caress.
face down
It consists of the couple lying face down, one person on top of the other, this position also allows control of penetration and a good enjoyment of the act. For greater comfort, it is recommended that whoever is below place a pillow or cushion in the belly area, in this way they will have a slight elevation without being as tall as the puppy.
Riding
One member of the couple lies on his back while the other sits on top, facilitating penetration and controlling its intensity. In this position there is maximum freedom to touch yourself.
At the border
You can choose a bed or a table. One person stands right on the edge with knees bent over her body or to the sides. The other is standing with her hands free to further stimulate her partner(s).
Standing
It is like the face-up position, but standing up, which makes it easier to maintain balance and the movements of the two.
Lubricant for anal sex. Yes or no? Always yes!
It is very important to use lubricant for anal sex and it is better that you choose a silicone-based one because the water-based ones evaporate more quickly. In our range of products, we recommend you try Durex Perfect Connection, which provides longer-lasting lubrication than water-based lubricants1 so you can enjoy uninterrupted anal sex.
In addition, you can also use it for vaginal and oral sex and it is compatible with the use of any Durex condom so you don’t have to give up safer sex.
Should I use a condom during anal sex? Yes!
Always! It is essential to use a condom in all your sexual relations. Many times it is thought that the condom is not needed if only anal sex is going to be practiced, this is because the condom is only associated with the prevention of unwanted pregnancies, but it must not be forgotten that the condom is also essential to reduce the risk contracting sexually transmitted diseases or STDs.
