Anal Sex Guide

Upkeep

Sometimes anal sex can get messy and down right dirty. Here are some helpful tips on keeping anal sex fun, safe and clean:

  • Plan ahead! If you feel like you may engage in some anal fun, make sure to use the restroom and cleanse the anal area before hand.
  • Some guys use a douche for added cleanliness, but the chemicals in the solution can degrade the lining of your rectum, which can increase your risk for HIV infection. If you feel like you have to douche, consider using water since it will do the least amount of damage

 

Penetration

Getting a dick inside of you or your partner can sometimes be difficult and painful (when not fantastically pleasurable). Here are some tips we have heard other young guys suggest:

  • Just relax! You have to keep your ass muscles relaxed or else it may be painful for you or your partner.
  • The right lube is key! Most people try out different types of lube before they find the one they like. Water-based lube is the best when having anal sex because it will not degrade latex condoms.
  • Use latex condoms because it offers better protection than natural skins from HIV and STD’s.
  • Some guys like to get fingered before getting penetrated. Some massaging of the ass hole can help relax the muscles.

Condom Etiquette 

Most guys don’t like it when they slip on a condom that has been carelessly left on the floor. Here are some gay manners for the newly outed.

  • Never open a condom with your mouth because it may cause a tear.
  • Use a condom that snuggly fits your penis without being uncomfortable.
  • Try masturbating with different brands of latex condoms so you can find the one you like best.
  • After you’re done using the condom, wrap it up in toilet paper and throw it away in the trash. Never flush condoms down the toilet. They do not break down, so they will come back!
