Different ways to stimulate the anus

Where anal sex used to be quite a taboo subject, it seems to have become more and more socially acceptable nowadays. In fact, anal sex is popular! And, there are so many different ways and techniques to stimulate the anus. Read all about anal stimulation in this blog.

Anal foreplay

Before you really get into anal sex or anal stimulation, it’s important to prepare yourself. Take enough time for anal foreplay to be fully prepared for anal stimulation.

Anal sex is easiest when you’re both relaxed and aroused. It takes time for the sphincter muscle to relax enough to allow a penis or sex toy to enter more easily. In order to relax the sphincter muscle sufficiently, you can stimulate it in various ways.

• Anal fingering. Rub a finger around the sphincter muscle and find out how it responds when touched. Experiment carefully with the insertion of one finger. You’ll notice that the longer the sphincter is stimulated, the more it will relax.
• Rimming. The anus can also be stimulated using the tongue. Licking the anus is called rimming. This is a great way to start out with some anal foreplay.

Tip: A mini vibrator is an excellent way to stimulate the anus. The toy’s vibrations allow the sphincter to relax more

Lubricant

The use of lubricant is essential for anal stimulation. This is because the anus doesn’t naturally produce moisture to make friction or penetration go smoothly. Lubricant ensures that anal stimulation is pleasant – and painless – without the risk of abrasions or other discomfort.

You can use special anal lubricant, as well as silicone-based lubricant. The advantage of silicone-based lubricant is that it doesn’t dry up as quickly as water-based lubricant. That’s why you don’t have to use it as often, while penetration goes pleasantly and smoothly!

Tip: When using silicone sex toys, it’s best to use water-based lubricant instead of silicone-based lubricant. Silicone on silicone doesn’t mix well.

Anal sex

After enough foreplay, you can continue with anal sex. However, don’t rush into things. Don’t go for full penetration right away, but find out how you can build up to it slowly. Eventually, you can try different sex positions.

In addition to stimulating the anus, try to stimulate other erogenous zones. Anal sex can result in an intense ‘anal orgasm’. Usually, this type of climax is reached by stimulating several intimate areas, such as the clitoris, labia, penis, or nipples.

Pegging

Anal sex is no longer just for homosexual men, or heterosexual couples where the man penetrates the female partner anally. Pegging is a sexual act that’s becoming increasingly popular. It involves the man receiving anal sex from the woman, using a strap-on.

Anal stimulation with anal toys

The anus can be stimulated with the fingers, the tongue or through penetration – but the range of sex toys for anal stimulation is quite extensive!

Butt plug 

The classic butt plug is a toy that can be inserted anally and stays in the anus. It creates a ‘filled up’ feeling in the anus. Butt plugs are available in different types and sizes. Small butt plugs are perfect for inexperienced users who want to experiment with anal stimulation. Besides silicone butt plugs, there are also vibrating, metal, inflatable and glass butt plugs.

Tip: You can also insert anal beads into the anus for a ‘full’ feeling.

Anal dildo and anal vibrator

Both men and women can easily use an anal dildo or an anal vibrator. A classic anal dildo is usually narrower and smaller than a standard dildo, so the risk of damage to the anus and rectum is less. The toy can provide both internal and external anal stimulation. Would you like to try anal sex, but first want to know if it’s really something for you? We recommend practicing with an anal dildo.

An additional advantage of an anal vibrator is that this toy is extra stimulating thanks to the vibrations. In addition, the vibrations ensure that the sphincter relaxes more easily.

Prostate stimulator

Anal stimulation can be very pleasant for men, as the prostate can be easily stimulated through the anus. The prostate – also called the male G-spot – is a very sensitive spot that has many nerve endings. Stimulating the prostate can even lead to an intense orgasm. To stimulate this area, you can use a prostate stimulator. This toy has a special design that can stimulate the prostate in a targeted way.
