Anal sex is a riveting, exciting, and a really hot addition to bedroom play. To ensure that all the best aspects of it are brought about, there are certain best anal positions and tips to follow of which will provide you and your partner the most erotic of sensuality. So much to the point that some females even experience the elusive anal orgasm. 

And the really beautiful aspect of anal sex is that it can be performed on both partners, regardless of gender, with the same orgasm-inducing results; connecting us closer as couples and humans. Whether you are practicing anal play using hands, genitals, or a high quality and elegantly crafted anal sex toy, let’s get into some things for you to consider if you are new to or simply want to enhance your exploration. 

Tips for amazing anal sex

Our anuses feel great when pleased right, but you can’t jump straight into deep and wide penetration. If you are new to anal sex, then you absolutely must start slow so that there is no pain or discomfort. 

Oftentimes your or your partner’s fingers are the best ways to get a feel for the sensations that anal stimulation provides without overdoing anything. Fingers are really small, and you can maintain complete control over the movements so that adjustments are made based on what feels good. 

And remember, there is no such thing as too much lube. At all. Our anuses are not self-lubricating, and if not treated correctly can tear. I don’t mean to scare you away from anal play, but just take that as a reminder to use a whole lot of lube! If you do, anal sex feels amazing and it is safe. 

Starting with anal toys is probably the next best step after your fingers and before a penis or large dildo if you even choose to take it that far, as sometimes just a little anal play is enough!

Butt plugs and anal beads are great tools to use as they often come in practice sets that allow you to work your way up in size with experience. 

Always ensure that you are completely relaxed and ready to enjoy anal sex, as any tension or stress in your body as a whole can create tension within your anal cavity that won’t do you any good. Take a few deep breaths and practice some foreplay to get yourself excited and craving more. 

If you are planning to go all-in with anal sex, always warm up first as well, again using fingers or toys before going any larger. 

The key throughout is to maintain the highest level of communication with your partner. You absolutely (especially the individual being penetrated) need to be able to speak aloud when something does or does not feel good! This way you can adjust accordingly so that everyone is pleased throughout this incredible experience. 

The Best Anal Positions For Incredible Backdoor Fun!

• Doggy Style Laying Down 

  Not the kind of doggy style that takes place arched on all fours, doggy style laying down is a better first option. Laying down on your stomach so that your partner can insert from behind is a great way to warm up before going any deeper. 

  The angle of your body will allow for easy but shallow penetration that will never take things too far. Whether a small sex toy or the upper half of a penis/dildo, you will receive a ton of thigh shaking sensations just in the first few inches of your anal cavity! 

• Regular Doggy Style

Once you have warmed up to shallow penetration with doggy style laying down, you can upgrade this anal position a bit by transitioning into a regular doggy style. Lift your body from lying down to instead on all fours, as this will open up your anal cavity and allow for deeper penetration. 

This position is also an excellent way to incorporate vaginal play with anal play, as both areas can be easily accessed without interfering with each other, and there is never an uncomfortable push between toys or genitals. 

Tip, you can always use a chair or something close to hold onto to change the angles and to keep yourself blanched and pushed up against something.

• The Sit Down 

For this position, one partner sits down on a chair so that the other partner can easily sit atop the penis or toys facing the other direction. This is an excellent way for the person who is receiving the anal stimulation to maintain complete control over exactly how deep they want to go, simply standing further up or lower down to adjust!

This position allows for easy clitoral stimulation as well for even more incredible sexual vibes.

• Spooning

Spooning like when we cuddle but a whole lot more advanced and riveting! Laying down side by side on a bed, one partner will face their back and butt towards the other. But the key for this position is to be extremely arched and angled, so don’t keep your body straight and instead lean into a 90-degree angle for effortless and smooth thrusting. 

• Arched Missionary

Missionary doesn’t work well for anal sex, but you can use the basis of this position with a little extra flair to create the best anal sex position that works and feels great.

One partner will lay on their back like missionary, but then raise their legs extremely high, arching their butt high enough so that the penis or anal toy can be easily inserted. It’s best to hold your legs beneath the back of your knees, and sometimes a little help from your partner will be required. 

But regardless, this is a wonderful anal sex position to open yourself up for feel-good access while also showing off the other beautiful part of your body and maintaining lustful eye contact.
