Sex tips: anal sex for beginners.

In standard sexual education lessons and biology books, you learn enough about the missionary position and what actions take place when a man has sex with a woman. The fact that non-hetero people also have sex and that there are many more different types of sexual positions is conveniently left out. Therefore, it can be quite exciting to try anal sex for the first time. Where do you find the info and tips you need to make it as easy and especially as fun as possible for you both? These tips will help you get started.

First, a tip that you should apply a bit in advance: eat a lot of fiber. Fiber helps keep your stool more compact, which means less is left in the intestines when you go to the bathroom. This is important because you want to keep things as fresh and clean as possible between the sheets. The next tip is related: rinsing. Make sure to take a moment for a bathroom visit before the big moment. There are special tools for rinsing, such as anal douches. With these, you can partially rinse your intestines to reduce the chance of unpleasant surprises between the sheets.

Also very important: use a condom. The chance of cuts is simply greater with anal sex. The anus has a natural reflex to close itself off. This is generally very handy, as it prevents anything unexpected from coming out. Especially if you don't have a regular sexual partner, it's important to be careful with this. But this applies to all forms of sex, of course.

To not make it harder than necessary: lubricant. Lots of lubricant. The vagina has the ability to make things a bit smoother by getting wet on its own. This does not apply to the anus, so you need to help out there. Without lubricant, it can be a really tricky situation, especially for the first time. Also, be a little careful. You can't expect everything to slide in all at once. Take it slow, keep checking in with each other to see if everything is still nice and not painful, then it will be a fun and exciting experience for both of you.

And even with anal sex, there are just different positions to try. You really don't have to do doggy style every time. Of course, that's the easiest position at first, but try it differently next time. Lying on your sides, missionary, cowgirl/cowboy; you name it, anything goes. Just have fun with each other while figuring out all the exciting new things that anal sex has to offer.
