Anal Training: Your Guide to Safe Anal Stretching

When using huge butt plugs, you’re essentially stretching your anus to a pretty intense level. As good as that can feel for some, anal stretching is not something to take lightly! You need to know what you’re doing to avoid injuries or pain. Anal stretching should never actually be painful – if it is, you’re not doing it right!

So, I’m just going to give you some basic pointers on how to approach anal training safely. 

Step 1: Get comfortable

Make sure you’re feeling comfortable in your surroundings before embarking on this journey.

Perhaps you want some privacy, some locked doors, the house to yourself, some chill music going, dimmed lights – whatever you need to feel comfortable and relaxed.

Step 2: Get all nice and clean

It’s not always necessary to clean yourself internally when doing anal. As long as you’ve emptied your bowels properly, you should be good to go. However, when exploring more extreme anal play (like using massive butt plugs), some may feel more comfortable making sure the coast is clear.

You can use an anal douche to gently rinse out your rectum about an hour before you’re ready for some fun.

Step 3: Get in the mood

Arousal is super important when trying out anything new in the bedroom.

The bodily sensation can feel so different when the body is in arousal mode as opposed to its normal state. Watch some ethical porn, listen to some audio erotica, fantasize, or have some hefty foreplay with your partner!

Step 4: Work your way up... slowly!

Even advanced anal adventurers should never skip the basic warm-up. You can’t go straight from a closed anus to a giant anal plug! Take the time to go through the gradual increase.

Start with one finger, then two, then three, perhaps a small butt plug, a larger one, etc. Soon, you’ll be about ready to take on something larger! Let your body adjust to the sensation in between each new size.

Step 5: Patience means pleasure

Once you’re at the point where you feel like you’re breaching new territory, patience is key! Try out something slightly larger than the last size you felt comfortable with. Go slow and listen to your body. Remember, anal stretching should never actually be painful. Lots of patience and plenty of lube will slowly get you to your destination of pleasure!

There you have it. Safe anal training is quite simple – just listen to your body!
