Anal foreplay tips you need to know

Preparing the anus sounds like a vibe-killer, but there are ways to make anal foreplay hot, so the rest of the experience is more relaxed and enjoyable, too.

However, before you venture into anal sex , you and your partner should talk about your boundaries before, during, and after. Revisit the conversation after you engage in anal play, because you might discover something you like and change your boundaries or create new ones. Below are some anal foreplay tips to try tonight.

1. Solo finger your anus

Sensing a finger, object, or penis inside the anus can be a very surprising sensation for some people, so it's helpful to practice a little bit beforehand. Trim your nails, and use your fingers to explore the anal area. You might want to hold a mirror to actually see where you're touching, and definitely use a lot of lube.

2. Shower with your partner

Showering or bathing with your partner before anal sex is practical, and it can also be sexy. Take a bath or shower together, not only to clean, but also to begin to relax and take pleasure in each other's bodies. If you're into it, you can set the mood and atmosphere with massage candles or music that turns you on.

3. Using your tongue

If you feel comfortable, you can try rimming, or eating out your partner's anus. Initially, use a "soft and wet tongue" to make circles around your partner's anus. Then, one can begin pointing and thrusting the tongue. This motion can help prep the anus for penetration. But, there's always a chance that bacteria from the anus could transfer to someone's mouth or vagina and cause an infection, so you might want to use a dental dam, clean your mouth and anus before and after, and avoid inserting a penis or object into someone's anus, and then directly into their vagina.
