Even if you consider yourself an open-minded about sexuality, anal penetration may still be unfamiliar and intimidating if it’s your first experience.
Anual sex encompasses any sexual act performed with the anus, from penetration and exploration, to male-on-female anal penetration or exploration with strap-on dildos for women (or penis-free people) as a powerful form of pleasure that can lead to clitoral orgasms and other erogenous zones throughout the body. But prior to any anual encounters for the first time it’s crucial that both partners communicate beforehand, explore with toys beforehand, use protection and lube products before proceeding any anal action – this way everyone involved enjoys both experiences!
Anal sex toys and lubricant can help reduce infection risks as well as minimize any chance of tears or cuts during sexual encounters, thus helping lower risks associated with anal sex activities compared to any other forms of sexual activity. Condom use should also be strongly considered given that anal sex has one of the highest risks for HIV transmission compared to other forms of sexual activity.
The FDA recently granted its approval of its first condom specifically approved for anal sex, making headlines nationwide. But what exactly does that mean for those interested in sexual relations? Here we breakdown this new development as well as discuss how condoms get approved for anal sex in general.
