New to anal play and masturbation? First thing first – take it easy on yourself! At V For Vibes, we’re here to help you. Read on to see our ultimate anal sex guide – whether it’s your first time, or you’re experienced.

The first step? Get wet.

Remember that anal masturbation is about connecting with an area of your body that’s often considered taboo. Set the mood, and make sure this is a relaxed environment that you can truly enjoy. Try adding a few drops of essential oil in to the steam of your shower, such as lavender (known for it’s relaxing qualities). Be sure to bring lubricant in with you. We recommend the shower for first timers because you can allow the water from the shower to stimulate your anus.

Next on the list? Begin with your regular masturbation routine!

Orgasming before hand can aid in relaxing you even further, and getting you excited to stimulate other areas.

Foreplay – always a major step.

Make sure you are totally aroused before starting anal masturbation. When you’re ready, start stroking, spanking your butt cheeks, and massaging around your anus. Move slowly closer and closer. Light touch and gentle pressure is key to activating these erogenous zones and allowing yourself to feel the ultimate pleasure.

Make sure you take your time.

It may take you a few tries to be in to anal play! It can be hard to find the right position and trigger points for yourself, and if you aren’t flexible, it can be uncomfortable at first trying to maneuver. Get comfortable and test out different positions to find the perfect one for you! Go with the flow, and be sure to breathe! Solo anal play is less pressure, and makes relaxing much easier.

Did we mention lube?

It’s important to remember that the anus has no natural lubrication. This means that tears and injuries happen easier. It’s extremely important that you invest in a high quality lubricant that’s body safe. Water based lubricants are safe to use for most toys, and would be our first recommendation. You want to foster a pain free, comfortable environment for yourself.

Try anal toys!

Anal beads, anal plugs, and butt vibrators are great ways to start out! However, you want to make sure that they’re made out of a body safe material, and have a flared end.
