When it comes to anal sex there is one very important thing you must know. There is no natural lubrication as a result of arousal as would be the case with the vagina. Lubricants are an important part of this type of sex, and you need to read through this article to make it more pleasurable for both of you.

A Condom Is Important When Having Anal Sex

When having anal sex a condom is a good way to protect yourself from bacteria in the rectum. The anal glands could break during anal sex, and therefore a condom is useful in protecting also from sexually transmissible diseases that could otherwise infect more easily that during normal intercourse. Furthermore, the rectum is an exit for bodily waste, and thus very unhygienic bacteria could pass to the vagina if you switch from anal to normal sex.
A condom is lubricated but not necessarily enough for anal penetration. Since the rectum doesn't produce lubrication when aroused, you need to add extra lubrication.

Make Sure Lubrication Is Compatible With Condoms

Do remember to ask whether the lubrication you buy at the local pharmacy is compatible with condoms. Some types could destroy a condom, and would therefore work very poorly when having this type of sex. Make sure you put lubricant in the hole before penetration - and you might even use a finger to ensure the lubricant enters to soften the muscular result that normally occurs when a person is about to be penetrated anally.

Slow And Easy

Show respect for one another. Be slow and gentle, especially if you are well endowed. It is not normal for the body to be penetrated outside-in, and therefore the muscle surrounding your anus will normally try rejecting penetration unless you do give enough time for both lubrication and arousal to allow soft muscles in that region.

Illegal in Some States

You should also be warned because in some states anal sex - even between man and woman - is illegal. It is doubtful who would control the keeping of that law, but be aware of this so you don't get involved in anything unlawful just as a result of wanting to enjoy another facet of human sexuality. It would be a great shame to enjoy this natural element in an area where you could be penalized for sex between adults who just got a bit too experimental. But when you adhere to the advice in this article you will enjoy safe sex in new ways.
