Anal Masturbation

How to do it

1. Preparation & Arousal: Focus on external or vaginal play first. Only begin anal exploration when you are already highly aroused, as this helps the pelvic floor muscles relax naturally.
2. Positioning: Lie on your back with knees pulled toward your chest (using a pillow to elevate the pelvis) or try a hands-and-knees position for easier reach.
3. The “Contract and Release” Method: Apply a generous amount of lubricant to your finger and the anal opening. Massage the outer rim first. To ease entry, perform a Kegel (contracting the PC muscles), and as you exhale and release the muscle, gently slide the tip of your finger about ¼ inch inside.
4. Gradual Depth: Hold for a few seconds, relax, and repeat the process, sliding slightly deeper with each release.
5. Dual Stimulation: Many find that stimulating the clitoris with the other hand while exploring internally helps maintain the necessary relaxation and arousal levels.

Why it works

The anus is surrounded by a complex network of nerve endings and two sphincter muscles. Because the internal sphincter is involuntary, it cannot be forced open; it must be “convinced” to relax through high arousal and the rhythmic contract-and-release technique. This gradual approach prevents discomfort and allows the body to adjust to the sensation of fullness, eventually tapping into the sensitive nerve endings shared with the pelvic floor and (for vulva owners) the internal clitoral structures.

⚠️ Critical Safety Note

Cross-Contamination: Never move a finger or toy directly from the anus to the vagina or clitoris. Doing so introduces bacteria that can cause severe infections (like UTIs or Bacterial Vaginosis). Always wash hands and toys thoroughly or change gloves/condoms when switching between areas.
