August brings with it hot weather, end-of-summer nostalgia and — for some of us — anal pleasure. Yes, that’s right – anal sex has officially made its mark this month thanks to efforts of the sex-positive community to break down taboos and encourage exploration of the butt-side. But don’t worry: anal play can be fun, sensual and erotic as long as you use proper tools (and lube).
Before exploring anal lubrication and barrier methods, ensure you utilize sufficient personal lubrication and barrier methods. Also, douche your anus before starting, and there are training kits available that can assist in transitioning from playing around the rim to small butt plugs and eventually full penetration. It’s essential that all sexual acts involve communication between partners as well as caring for one’s own body throughout; remember it should feel good!
If you want to step up your anal play, invest in a vibrating anal plug. We suggest Good Vibes’ rechargeable ROMP Bass Vibrating Anal Plug which features 10 intensity levels and patterns to explore various anal sensations. Plus, its reversibility means it can be used anywhere on vulva, nipples or testicles for prostate orgasm! And for added excitement pair the plug with beads for an unforgettable experience – not forgetting water-based anal lube like Swiss Navy’s thick yet long-lasting anal lube is key here too.
