Anal Sex: Which Lubricant should I use?

[rahul in florida]

Hi guys!
I and my girlfriend always wonder about having anal sex. I am afraid that I do not harm her with anything. Can you let me know the best way to have anal sex? I mean the easiest way that does not hurt either of us two. Like Lubricants and Oil?

Use a fair bit of lubrication, start with a smaller sex toy, go slowly... and have her relax.

Hi Rahul,

As Exavion said, absolutely use plenty of lubrication and go very slowly. This is absolutely NOT the place to be having rough sex. It could cause serious harm including infection to the canal which is very difficult to heal.

I'm not saying not to do it, just saying be gentle and use lots of lubricant. Also use protection, and do your best to ensure cleanliness on both of you, particularly her.

Anal Sex - How to Make Her REALLY Want It

As for what type of lubricant, make sure it's something latex safe, i.e. water soluble. Because you definitely want to be using protection (read: a condom), or else you will also be at risk of infection. What the body expels can be pretty toxic.

I know this can all sound a bit clinical and might put you off, but as soon as you get the basics down you'll be able to enjoy it relatively safely.
