Anal sex is no longer for the sexually twisted since studies have shown that 1 out 4 couples have tried anal sex at least once. It feels good for many people. While there are many people who said they have enjoyed having anal sex with their partners, there are some couples whom may have had a painful first anal experience. In order to enjoy the sensation of anal sex, here are some tips couples can follow that would help them avoid a painful first anal experience. First, make sure to talk about it since anal sex should never be a spontaneous moment especially if it’s for the first time. Make sure to plan and set expectations with your partner so that the result would be a pleasurable one. When planning to have anal sex for the first time, make sure to watch what you’re eating as this would affect your bowel movements. If the food you eat causes your bowel movements to soften, you may want to avoid engaging having anal sex. Although it’s not going to be a painful first anal experience for you, it’s going to be a messy one for sure. Now to avoid this from happening, have your partner do an enema to make sure her anus is clean. Avoid overdoing enemas, though, even if you and your partner engage in anal sex all the time as this can strip the ass of its protective mucous lining.
Same as having vaginal sex, performing foreplay on your partner first would prevent any painful first anal experience. A good way to prep up her or his anus for insertion would be to perform stretching massages using your finger or a vibrator with a lube on her anus until her muscles (anus sphincter) would be “loose” enough for the penis to be inserted. Of course, your partner’s anus should be relaxed and that both of you have a mindset that this is not going to be a painful first anal experience. When it comes to using a lube when having anal sex, make sure to get a good one and avoid buying the cheap kind. Usually, cheap lubes can cause a burning sensation while having anal sex so make sure to spend a little for a good-quality lube to avoid a painful first anal sex. It should also be water soluble especially if a condom is worn on the penis to avoid breaking down which happens when using oil based lubes.

Before inserting your penis, stick a finger or two in his or her butt, or a butt plug or a dildo. This will help them to loosen up a bit to better enjoy your cock.
Finally, when penetrating your partner’s anus, start of really slow and listen to what you’re partner is saying or feeling. Try to perform a little foreplay using the penis by making small circles around the anus to heighten up your partner’s mood. When inserting, start with the head of the penis first and ask your partner if it hurts. If it does, apply more lube on the head then proceed inserting it again slowly. Always listen to what she or he is saying. If she or he says it hurts or that you are going too fast, stop and listen for his/her cues. Remember, the first moments can be very crucial especially if you want to avoid a painful first anal sex. Once she/he gets used to the sensation of anal sex, you and your partner can start enjoying the sensations it brings.
If you are the passive partner, then breathe deeply when the cock penetrates your anus. Inhale when you feel it enter your ass, and then slowly exhale as goes deeper.
Whenever possible, try selecting a partner with a smaller dick for your first anal sex: it can be long but avoid thick ones, because larger dicks can create discomfort to your ass when inserted. Don’t worry, you will be able to take bigger cocks as you gain more experience.
You can try some basic anal sex positions like the doggy style, the wheelbarrow position, the anal drop position, the side anal and the missionary position to name a few.
If after all the precautions you still had a painful first anal sex, then check to see if there’s blood on your anus, take a pain relive pill and/or apply some over-counter medication. The pain should go away in a few hours. In a rare cases if it doesn’t go away in two or three days next day or even gets worse, then you may want to consult your doctor.
