How to Prepare for Anal: 11 Top Tips

If you're offering up your ass for the first time, it's only normal to be both excited and apprehensive. But follow our 10 tips on how to prepare for anal sex – both mentally and physically – and you'll hopefully feel more confident about getting your peach pounded.

1. Mind Over Matter: The first step in preparing for anal is to mentally rehearse the act of fucking itself. Alone, conjure up the sauciest scenes in pornographic detail. Then close your eyes, reach for your baton, and whack off to your wildest imaginings.
   

2. Essential Anal Exploration: Delve into your depths. In bed or the shower, start with some fingering, one or two digits to begin. After a while, when you have gotten used to your own fingers, consider upping the ante with sex toys. For example, anal beads allow you to take a little more each time.
   

3. Watch Your Diet: When it comes to diet and how to prepare for anal, fiber is your friend! That's because it helps stop constipation and promotes healthy pooping. It can take up to 72 hours for your body to fully process food. Ideally, you don't want to serve up your delectable derrière until eight hours after your last full meal. Avoid fatty, spicy, or greasy foods, as these can cause diarrhea.
   

4. Discover How to Douche: Accidents happen, but you can significantly reduce the chances of them by anal douching for first-time bottoming. Bulb douches are cheap and easy to use. Insert a nozzle into the squeezable bulb, add warm water to the bulb, insert the device into your rear, and squeeze away. A Shower Douche can be permanently added to your bathroom. It offers a consistent flow of water for deep cleaning. But watch water pressure. And then there’s the Water Bag Douche. Here, the nozzle is attached to a bag, which can be hooked up in a shower. But also folded up, making it an indispensable travel companion for all you gay circuit queens out there.
   

5. Get Lube Ready: Even an accomplished power bottom requires lube – despite what he may claim. And for first-time bottoming, you’ll need lashings of the slippery stuff.
   

6. Communicate Constantly: The next crucial stage in preparing for anal is to actually talk to your partner before you get down to it. Make sure to tell him what you want and express any concerns you have. Ensure he listens and understands. We tend to talk about anal sex as a casual act, but you’re actually offering him something sacred and wholly intimate.
   

7. Focus on Foreplay: Taking time to enjoy foreplay is an essential step in how to prepare for anal sex, especially if you've never bottomed before. When you're aroused, your body relaxes, meaning your ass will be more receptive to penetration. So, make plenty of time to enjoy each other's bodies before moving on to the full fucking.
   

8. Lather on the Lube: Even the most accomplished power bottom requires lube – despite what he may claim. And for first-time bottoming, you’ll need lashings of the slippery stuff. The inside of your butt is astonishingly absorbent. Because of that, water-based lubes won’t work for very long – and constantly topping up is a passion killer.
   

9. Consider Condoms: When considering how to prepare for anal sex, a frank conversation about HIV status and your sexual health remains important. PrEP is increasingly a great option. However, it doesn’t help prevent the transmission of other STIs. Condoms do. Additionally, they can help avoid an unseemly mess.
   

10. Heads Hurt – at First: Sex, like the mystery of life itself, is a mixture of pain and pleasure. So, don't be surprised if you experience some discomfort when you bottom for the first time. But with practice, patience, and communication, you'll soon be able to enjoy the exquisite joys of anal sex.
