International Masturbation Month - Anal Masturbation

International Masturbation Month - Anal Masturbation

If you're curious about trying anal sex but don't know where to start, you're in the right place. This guide is all about giving you the straightforward info you need to enjoy anal play with confidence and pleasure.

Whether you're a total newbie, have dabbled a bit, or are a tad worried about all the myths surrounding anal play, you absolutely have to have a go at solo anal play. It’s a game changer. 

Yes, anal masturbation is absolutely a thing. 

 

Your step-by-step to anal masturbation

Use your go-to method for having a solo orgasm and bring yourself to those moments before climax so that you’re totally turned on and ready for anything but just not releasing the good stuff quite yet. 

Make sure you have plenty of lube to hand and get yourself in a kneeling position, butt quite low to the surface you’re sitting on and legs apart. 

 

Now let’s pause here. 

 

There is no shame in washing your bits before masturbation or sex. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. Get comfortable with being clean beforehand. This is especially important when it comes to anal because of the bacteria that can be passed between your anus and whatever you have at the front. Some people opt for using an enema. If you do, always follow safety instructions and protect your butt!


Then, start by lubing up your hands and whilst still playing with your penis or vulva, begin to gently rub your anal area with a flat palm. There are so many nerve endings here that we want to make sure they’re all lit up and doing their thing! You will probably feel hugely turned on by just this action alone. 


Next, you want to be adding more lubricant to the anal area. The anus doesn’t self-lubricate so ensure you have plenty to add- there’s no such thing as too much!


The beauty of solo anal play is that there’s absolutely no pressure on penetration. Sometimes, when you play with a partner, trying to relax into this moment can be really difficult if you haven’t had the talk about the penetration part or you’re feeling that pressure to perform. The fact of the matter is, anal play can be really pleasurable without penetration. So make sure you’re always doing what feels good for you. 


Try using different stroke techniques such as:


  •  massaging and applying slight pressure to the perineum. 
  • butt hinting. Touches and strokes that hint towards the hole and come away again.
  • paint strokes that barely touch the skin around the hole.

 


Anal Penetration

If you’re ready to step it up a notch and play with penetration, have a go at gently applying pressure to the hole, with a fingertip or toy. Playing with your vulva or penis whilst you do so will help you relax into pleasurable sensations. 


Humans actually have two butt holes! An outer anal sphincter and an inner anal sphincter. In contrast with the outer muscle ring, the inner anal sphincter is involuntary and this is why it’s so important that you relax into this moment. 


Some find that gentle tickles of this inner ring helps the muscles relax and when they do so you’ll find that you can slide a finger or toy in further. If they don’t relax, try again another day! The point of this is pleasure, you should not feel any sharp pains. 

 

 

Anal Orgasms for those with a vulva

The anus is packed with nerve endings that connect to the clitoris! Stimulating these as well as experimenting with different angles to reach the back of the clitoris will lead to orgasmic pleasure!

 

 

Anal Orgasms for those with a penis

Cis gendered men and those assigned male at birth, have the pleasure of playing with the p-spot. The p-spot is short for the prostate gland and this can be found roughly two inches into the anus towards the front of the body. The p-spot swells when you’re turned on and can be found outside too, by massaging the perineum. Stimulating the g-spot in a way that feels good for you is sure to lead to an explosive orgasm! 


Fun fact:  p-spot orgasms may or may not lead to penile ejaculation!
