Is Anal Sex Painful?

Is Anal Sex Painful?

Unlike the vagina the anus does not produce any of its own natural lubrication meaning that if anal sex is attempted without the use of anal lubricants it can be a painful experience. Using anal lubricants can help to relax the anal muscles making it much easier for the anus to be penetrated and therefore leading to a much more pleasurable experience.

For first timers to anal sex it may be worth considering exploring using a small anal sex toy such as Anal Finger Fun as this will enable the anus to get used to being penetrated and make you more relaxed for when your partner penetrates you. Anal lubricants are also perfectly safe to use with anal sex toys.
