The Ins and Outs of Anal- Part 2

The Ins & Outs of Anal- Part 2: Down & Dirty

Continuing our journey in the great adventure of ass play, today I hope to address and expand upon a few ways to enrich your anal ventures. If the idea of anal pleasure is a new concept to you, be sure to take a look at  The Ins and Outs of Anal- Part 1 which addresses concerns about pain and important safety aspects. Let’s jump right in, shall we?

Let’s face it, for many people one of the first things that comes to mind when discussing anal sex is, well, poo. Aside from the fear of pain, the idea that ass play will leave you and your partner with a mess of feces is more than enough to avert even the most adventurous of couples. Rest assured, a mess is not mandatory for pleasurable anal.

If you are an individual who wishes to steer clear (as much as you can, anyway) of the “dirt”, you have some options:

• Plan ahead. Make sure you have gone to the restroom prior in the day. This helps to clear out the rectum.
• Shower, taking special care to clean around your anus. Using a mild soap will help to prevent any irritation. You could even have sex in the shower. Keep baby wipes or tissue close by to clean up if needed.
• Some people will even use an enema to more thoroughly clean out their rectum, although they are not required. If using an enema, you should give yourself plenty of time, at least 2-3 hours after finishing the enema prior to engaging in play. This will give your behind some time to recover and ensure that everything inside has fully evacuated.
  • If you choose the route of an enema prep, there are a few things to keep in mind:
    • Don’t overdo it.
    • Never use vaginal douche as an enema.
    • Read instructions of the enema kit.
    • If you have your own equipment, be sure to keep it clean and do not share.

Keep in mind, this is an ass you’re playing with, and sometimes shit happens.
