I\u2019m sure you\u2019re already aware of this, but there has been an unfortunate assumption batting around that men who like anal sex are gay. Well, I\u2019m here today to prove them wrong.<\/p>\n
Of course, the majority of gay men enjoy anal sex, but it\u2019s by no means limited to that particular segment of the population.<\/p>\n
Women, men, and non-binary folk of all sexualities can enjoy anal sex \u2013 and there\u2019s no reason why they shouldn\u2019t. If it feels good, do it, I say!<\/p>\n
And while a finger, a penis, and a tongue can go a long way in the backdoor department, there are also a ton of tools you can use to unlock the underrated pleasure hub.<\/p>\n
But here\u2019s something you might not know: although porn would have you think otherwise, you can\u2019t just dive into using the biggest, girthiest anal dildo on the market.<\/p>\n
Full-on penetrative anal sex can take four to six weeks to build up to, according to anal surgeon and founder of Bespoke Surgical, Dr Evan Goldstein, because (duh!) it\u2019s a muscle that requires training just like any other.<\/p>\n
So depending on whether you\u2019re an anal aficionado or a backdoor beginner, we\u2019ve rounded up the best anal sex toys for every kind of experience level.<\/p>\n
Plus, we\u2019ve consulted a sexologist for her tips on how to use them. Keep reading to find out!<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re completely new to backdoor play, you might be wondering the options you have available to you.<\/p>\n
Good news is you have a whole smorgasbord to choose from, according to Sofie Roos, sexologist and therapist at Passionerad.<\/p>\n
\u201cButt plugs are designed to be inserted and worn in place, which gives a feeling of fullness and pressure. It\u2019s also an amazing way to prepare before anal sex.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou can buy butt plugs in a variety of sizes, materials and with different features, such as with vibrations for anal orgasms, with tails for roleplaying, with a small diamond in the end.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are also anal dildos that are designed to penetrate the ass in a safe and comfortable way, often with a slightly bent shape to stimulate the prostate,\u201d says Roos.<\/p>\n
\u201cOther common anal sex toys are prostate vibrators that give P-spot orgasms for men, or general anal vibrators that give a deep and intense feeling,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnal beads \u2013 a series of connected beads that you insert one at a time and then slowly pull out \u2013 are also popular,\u201d Roos adds.<\/p>\n
