Anal sex is a practice that has always been surrounded by taboos, however, men and women have allowed themselves to experiment more and more. Despite being one of the most common desires of the male imagination, some precautions must be taken.

This sexual modality has always been frowned upon by society. For many, women who enjoy anal are still considered easy. This type of prejudice makes many reluctant to try such an experience.

However, a study carried out a few years ago found that a third of the men and women interviewed revealed that they had had this type of sex. Another study carried out later revealed that between 19 and 32% of women had had anal sex in the last 6 months.

care for anal sex

Any anal experience, be it sex or stimulation through erotic toys, must be carried out with some care. In this way, we reduce the risk of infections and sexually transmitted diseases. So, check out the most important ones:

Always maintain proper hygiene

Before anal sex it is important to clean the anus. That way, some people can use the famous shower, wet wipes, an anal shower or enema. The latter is popularly known as chuca. This is a deeper cleaning in the rectum, emptying the intestine through the insertion of liquid.

The enema should be used with caution, as some studies have already shown that the practice, when performed frequently, can increase the risk of diseases.

Your sex toys too

A study carried out in 2014 with women with HPV, had the volunteers use some kind of sex toy. After use, they cleaned these accessories. The results showed that in several cases, HPV was still present in the vibrator even after 24 hours. Therefore, it is important to know how to properly sanitize this type of object:

• Erotic stainless steel and glass toys: They must be cleaned with mild soap and water before and after use.

• Plastic: Toys made of plastic must be cleaned with antibacterial wet wipes or soaps with this property.

• Silicone: Vibrators and plugs made of silicone must be cleaned with antibacterial products and boiled for 5 to 10 minutes before and after use.

Invest in condoms

 

Whether using erotic toys or having sex, it's always ideal. Unprotected anal sex can cause diseases such as salmonella, giardiasis and many others. Also, sexually transmitted infections like hepatitis and HIV can be prevented.

Always use a lubricant

As we all know, the anus is not lubricated. Dryness can make the sexual experience worse. In this way, the ideal is to choose a water-based or silicone lubricant to facilitate sex.

Warm up the weather until it's conducive

Don't try to go thirsty to the pot. Take advantage of foreplay, create an ideal climate for anal sex. Kiss, caress and start with a finger or some finer sex toy. This will make the partner feel more relaxed.

If you have pain, stop immediately.

Some signs that anal sex should be stopped are clear. If the partner complains of pain or if there has been any bleeding, it is better not to proceed. Try starting over at another time, more gently until the other person gets used to it.

Avoid vaginal penetration after anal sex

It's a pretty obvious tip, however, ignored by a lot of people. As a good hygiene practice, we should avoid vaginal penetration after anal sex. First the man must wash his penis to avoid the transmission of bacteria.

If using fingers, cut nails.

Nails are a huge source of bacteria. Thus, despite the anus being a region considered dirty, it needs some care. If using your fingers for anal stimulation, consider clipping your fingernails to prevent bacterial growth.

Choose a comfortable position

Some positions, such as getting on all fours or sitting on your partner, may be more comfortable when having anal sex. So choose the ones that make you most comfortable.

Accept the possibility of defecating

Before practicing the anal it is important to talk to the partner. The anus has the function of evacuating feces, so nothing more common than rolling that unexpected poop. There are some precautions that can help, as listed above, however, even using the enema, the chances of writing a check are real.

Anal sex doesn't have to and shouldn't be a frustrating experience. That way, we hope you can take advantage of these tips to make your sex unforgettable and with a taste of wanting more.
