Bootilicious Anal Toys for Beginners

The anus has lots of erotic nerve endings that create pleasure. So, butt play may be something you may want to explore with your partner. Anal play can have a dominance and submissive element, and can also be a form of gender-bending as with pegging play and strap-ons. Many more men are becoming interested in exploring anal play on the receiving end as well, as another way to experience prostate pleasure.

Anal Lubes

While lubricant is not a toy, but it is a absolute must when it comes to anal penetration. The saying goes: “you can never use too much…” If in doubt, apply more. Lube is super important because the anus doesn’t stretch as much as the vagina and unlike the vagina, the anus is NOT self-lubricating. Also, keep in mind that the anal wall is very thin and can tear easily, so don’t forget the lube.

For anal sex you with want a good slippery thick lube, either water-based or silicone.

Anal Beads

One of the best anal toys for beginners are anal beads. Anal Beads are a great beginner toy and awesome for warming up. They are graduated beads on a sting that gradually get smaller to larger, making them easy to insert one at a time. I recommend silicone anal beads, as they are anal friendly and can be sterilized.

Don’t buy the ones with an actual sting, get the ones made out of one solid piece of molded silicone and make sure it has a retrieval ring on the end.

To use anal beads, lube the smallest bead up well with a good thick water-based lubricant (don’t use silicone lubes with silicone toys!). Next, insert the smallest bead and continue slowly inserting each bead, until the entire length of beads is inserted. Pulling the beads slowly out during orgasm is amazing and intensifies the experience for an explosive finale.

Butt Plugs

Butt plugs are staples of anal sex play. They come in a huge variety of styles, shapes, designs, and materials including those made of glass and metal with booty bling, ones that vibrate, one’s with bunny and fox tails, and ones that inflate.

Butt plugs have a narrow head and flared base. Many come in beginner’s anal training kits featuring three butt plugs of different sizes so you can level up on your anal journey.

Again, only use silicone for softer materials (it is the material of choice for anal sex), and make sure the base is flared so the toy can’t slip inside. Harder materials like glass or metal are very inflexible and not recommended for beginners, but are great for intermediates and experts.

Anal plugs are designed to be used for long periods of time, which is why they are great for anal training. To do so, you insert the plug with lube and then wear them while you do your housework, or what-have-you, so you can get used to the feeling of fullness inside you. Gradually work your way up in size.

Prostate Massagers

Prostate Massagers are made especially for those of us who have a prostate gland. They are often curved to stimulate the prostate perfectly and many of them vibrate as well.

Anal sex for guys who want to try it can be especially orgasmic because hiding inside the anus is a wonderful little walnut sized gland called the Prostate (otherwise known as the P-spot and Male G-spot), which has been known to give some men exquisite pleasure and mind-blowing orgasms. Find more about the prostate here.

One of the bestselling anal sex toys for men is made by a company called Aneros. Aneros makes a wide range of prostate toys in various sizes, but they all have a similar shaped design which allows for hands-free pleasure. To use, you simply insert the tapered tip of a well lubricated Aneros into the anus where it will position itself against the prostate with a smaller arm positioned over the perineum. Then, using your sphincter muscles and anal contractions, you can move and pivot the Aneros inside the rectum to directly stimulate the prostate, perineum, and entire anal canal. Look Mom, no hands!

“Because the Aneros Massager is suspended unstably within the anal canal, the slightest muscular action and even the pulsing of blood vessels infiltrating the anal canal and surrounding the prostate is detected by the Aneros and directly transmitted to the anal canal, prostate and the perineum acupressure point. These sensations are positively relayed back to the anus, and this chain reaction accelerates to a nearly explosive point. This area is a treasure trove of erogenous stimuli.”—Aneros

Strap-Ons

Strap-ons are generally used for pegging (female to male penetrating) but can also be used by anyone regardless or gender.

Anal Douches

There are also anal douches and enema kits you can purchase to cleanse the anal canal out before anal sex, to help avoid what can sometimes be a messy situation.

The vote is out as to whether anal douches are safe to use or not. Some people swear by them, others say to avoid them. Porn stars use them religiously before anal scenes.

Personally, I would avoid them. The anus cleans itself out naturally, so just make sure not to eat right before anal sex, and have a poop beforehand. There may still be a bit of poo during anal play regardless, and it is to be expected.

Just make sure to clean your butt hole good with soapy warm water and you should be good to go.

Anal Play Extras

There are other supplies you may want to have on hand when exploring anal sex.

These include:

Condoms (to avoid STIs and HIV)
Latex gloves (for fingering/fisting)
Dental Dams (for Anilingus)
Sanitary sex wipes (useful for cleaning butt and toys in a quick pinch)
Old towels and plastic drop cloth (to cover your bed… just in case)
Water barrier sex blanket (for the same reason above)

Moving onto… Anal Stretching!

Anal Stretching

Okay, you might be thinking WTF, butt… yes, anal stretching is a thang…

And, in the world of extreme butt play, it is uber popular.

Many people start anal stretching as a way to gradually be able to facilitate their partner’s big dick, or to enable them to fit a larger toy, or even for preparing yourself for fisting.

This is often called “anal training” as I mentioned above. There are also inflatable anal toys that can be enlarged with air once inserted, to slowly stretch the sphincter muscles gradually.

Butt! Don’t try to ram a giant dildo up your ass on your first try. Bad things can happen! Seriously… I have heard of real cases of people getting rushed to the emergency room. Very embarrassing let alone dangerous!

And, obviously, don’t put anything up your butt that doesn’t go there. That includes salamis, zucchinis, spoons, flashights, hair brushes, wine bottles, barbie dolls, or whatever weird-ass ideas you may have. Just don’t do it.
