Something that is often forgotten, though, is anal masturbation. You are all usually quite happy to play with your other sexual regions, but when it comes to your butt, most people don't bother. What these people don't know is that they're missing out! Not only can anal masturbation be something extraordinary to explore on your own, but it's also an excellent way to figure out what you like and dislike about anal stimulation.

What Is Anal Masturbation?

Anal masturbation, also referred to as anal stimulation and anal play stimulates your anus and prostate. You can do it solo or with your partner. Anal masturbation can be shallow or it can be deep. It all depends on what you're comfortable with. You can use a finger (or fingers) and sex toys during anal masturbation.

Types Of Anal Sex Toys

Butt plugs are intended to be inserted and stay in place during masturbation. They have a flared base.

Anal beads are a row of beads on a string. When you're learning how to masturbate anally, you might enjoy inserting them and pulling them out one bead at a time.

Prostate Massagers Specially designed for male genitalia, prostate massagers are the ultimate male anal masturbation tool. This gadget allows you to reach that small gland about two inches inside your anus that can lead to some incredible orgasms when stimulated.

Size

If you're in the market for an anal dildo, don't worry about getting a toy that looks like it might be too long. Many anal dildos are smaller than standard dildos, although this isn't always the case. Anal beads are available in several different sizing options. The first has the same size of bead on each strand. The second is graduated anal beads, and you'll find that as you move up the length of the toy, the beads get large.

Material

Anal toys are made from various materials, including silicone, elastomer, hard plastic, stainless steel, and glass. Plastic is non-porous, hard, and durable, while elastomer is soft, pliable, and porous. Silicone is firm and flexible, retains body heat, and because it's non-porous, it's easy to keep clean. Metal and glass are durable and non-porous.

How To Use An Anal Toy

When you get home with your new toy, wash it before use. Then, you'll want to be careful not to touch other body parts with fingers or toys inside your bum. Next, use a good-quality lubricant for any penetration. Start slowly, with lots of lube, when using any toy for anal penetration. And insert the longer part of the toy about halfway, ensuring that it curves toward your belly button. After that, you start alone to explore and experiment with your toy without distractions.

Tips For Anal Masturbation Safety

Unsafe anal masturbation methods can result in minor bleeding, soreness, or discomfort. Lubrication, proper hygiene, and patience are the key to safe anal play:

Lubrication: Begin by applying a large amount of lube in and around your anal opening, and use additional lube to your finger or sex toy before insertion.

Hygiene: Without proper hygiene, bacteria that naturally live in your colon can spread to your vagina, penis, or mouth, potentially increasing the danger of disease and infection. Wash your anus with soap and warm water before a masturbation session.

Patience: Try deep breathing exercises to help relax your sphincter muscles, and start with small objects like your finger, a small butt plug, or anal beads.

Steps For Anal Masturbation

If you are curious about solo anal play, follow this step-by-step guide for how to masturbate anally:

Clean Up. Take a warm, relaxing shower. Wash thoroughly with mild soap and warm water. If you're concerned regarding cleanliness, consider using an enema.

Set The Mood. Get in the mood by listening to sexy music or lighting some candles. Sphincter muscles relax when aroused, making it easier to enjoy anal stimulation.

Begin With Your Normal Routine. Start with your usual masturbation routine before moving to anal play.

Start Small. Begin with eternal stimulation. Apply lube to rub the outside of your anus. In your own time, slide your finger inside and keep it there for a moment, allowing your anal sphincter muscles to relax before pulling it out and taking a break.

Find The Right Position. For hands-free sex, try the doggy-style position using a dildo with a suction mug mounted to a flat surface. Try lying on your side with your knees up to your chest or face down with your hand behind your back.

Experiment With Sex Toys. Anal sex toys—such as butt plugs, prostate massagers, anal beads, anal dildos, and anal vibrators—can bring your masturbation to the next level.

Stimulate Other Erogenous Zones. While it's likely to achieve an anal orgasm from masturbation, additional stimulation of your different erogenous zones can add pleasure.

Consider Bringing In A Partner. You can include your partner in an anal masturbation session. Communicate clearly why you find it sexy and want them to participate.

Care And Cleaning

Silicone, metal, hard plastic, and glass toys can last longer when properly cared for. They are non-porous materials, meaning that any bacteria stays on the toy's surface and can be washed off with mild soap and water. In addition, solid silicone and stainless-steel toys can be boiled in water for a few minutes to sanitize them.

How To Choose Anal Masturbators

This is your own choice. You can go deeper with one finger, add more pressure with two fingers, and start to introduce beginner-friendly sex toys. Remember that if you want to venture into sex toys for anal play, you should only use toys with a flared base since this will prevent the sex toy from becoming unretrievable in your anal.

Pros

• Pain relief
• Self-exploration
• Gives pleasure

Cons

• Failure to lubricate effectively can make it very painful to put anything inside.
• Bacteria found in the anus, while not harmful to the anus, are not good for the rest of the body.
• STIs and STDs are much easier to transmit through the anal route than the vaginal route.
