can be painful, especially the first time. While the vagina is made to be able to be penetrated, the anus is made up of much tighter muscles so penetration can result in pain. Anal sex isn’t for everyone, so it’s also okay if you don’t want to do it. If you want to give anal sex a try, here are some things you can do:
Most people experience pain when having for the first time. The anal sphincter is much tighter and narrower than the vagina, and the anus does not lubricate itself. A person who feels anxious about the experience may involuntarily tense their muscles, making sex more painful.
A big NO, anal sex received more than 1600 votes as the most daring act they would not do the first time they had sex. Anal sex is painful if not done properly, can be followed by incidents, is considered more intimate and for many is still taboo.
It’s also important to set boundaries with someone you’re having any kind of sex with for the first time. (Boundaries and communication are also just as important with ongoing partners!) Before exploring anal play with a new partner, communicate that you want them to start slow, check in with you about likes/dislikes as well as pressure and sensations. Communicate with your partner about protection against STIs. Ensure you are on the same page whether it’s , condoms, dental dams, or testing. This can help with trust as well as reduce anxiety. You can create a safe word together if things become too intense. Importantly, stop if anything becomes painful in a way that isn’t pleasurable.
McBride compares the first time of anal sex with vaginal sex and says that just like vaginal sex, you have to be patient and do things slowly in anal sex, Telegrafi reports.
