Curious about anal play but don’t know where to start? Totally normal, and way more common than you’d think. Anal stimulation can be incredibly pleasurable — for every body — but the key is patience, prep, and the right tools. Here’s your crash course in getting comfortable with butt stuff.
Why Try Anal Play?
The skin around the anus is packed with sensitive nerve endings — and for people with prostates, it can lead to earth-shattering orgasms. For others, it’s all about the pressure, taboo, or added intensity during partnered play. Bottom line? (No pun intended!) It’s a personal experience, and it’s worth exploring if it sounds appealing to you.
Beginner Must-Knows
-
Lube is non-negotiable. The butt doesn’t self-lubricate, so go heavy with a quality lube. Try a Silicone-Based lube for maximum slip!
-
Start small. Think pinky-sized plugs or slim beginner toys, not full send. You may want to try a set with varied sizing or an Anal Training Kit to get started
-
Relaxation is key. Deep breaths, a warm bath, or a little foreplay can help.
-
Go slow. Take your time. Seriously. Rushing is the #1 way to kill the vibe.
-
Listen to your body. Slight pressure = good. Sharp pain = stop.
Plugs: The Perfect First Toy
Plugs are one of the most beginner-friendly ways to explore anal play. They’re smooth, stay in place, and come in a wide range of sizes—so you can start small and work your way up.
They’re great for warming up, wearing during other types of play, or just enjoying the feeling of fullness.
Look for:
-
A tapered tip for easy entry
-
A flared base for safety
-
Flexible silicone for comfort
-
Optional vibrations for a little extra thrill
Perfect for staying put while you explore other sensations—hands, toys, or teasing.
Beads: Built for the Big Finish
Anal beads are all about rhythm, tease, and timing. Unlike plugs, they’re meant to go in and out—and that “pop” sensation during climax? Unmatched.
Beads are perfect for gradually building up to larger sizes, and their design gives you more control over depth and pressure.
Look for:
-
Flexible strings or silicone strands
-
Graduated sizing for easy progression
-
Retrieval loops for safe removal
-
Some come with vibration for extra buzz
Pro tip: Slowly removing beads at the height of orgasm can make everything feel more intense.
Dildos: Made for Depth and Pressure
Anal dildos (or dongs) offer a different experience—deeper penetration, firmer pressure, and a more hands-on (or harness-on) approach.
These are great when you want something more dynamic than a plug, and they’re available in realistic shapes, curved tips for prostate/G-spot play, and sizes for every comfort level.
Look for:
-
Slim builds for beginners
-
Harness compatibility if you’re exploring strap-on play
Ideal for those ready to explore thrusting, pressure, and a little more fullness.
Pro Tips for First-Timers
Use the bathroom first — you’ll feel more relaxed. Don’t forget lube. Did we mention lube? LUBE. Solo exploration can help build comfort and confidence. Set the mood — yes, even for butt stuff. Light a candle, turn on the playlist, and enjoy.
Anal play isn’t something to fear — it’s something to approach with curiosity, care, and a sense of playfulness. With the right tools and a little patience, you might just discover a whole new kind of pleasure.
