We will debunk the biggest myths and reveal essential truths about anal sex, with tips on preparation, safety and pleasure.

🚫 Common Myths About Anal Sex

❌ MYTH 1: “Anal sex is only for gay couples”

✅ TRUTH: The anus has nerve endings that can provide pleasure regardless of sexual orientation . Many heterosexual couples also explore this practice.

❌ MYTH 2: “If it hurts, it’s because it’s being done wrong”

✅ TRUTH: Pain is not normal and indicates a lack of preparation, lubrication or relaxation. The body needs gradual adaptation .

❌ MYTH 3: “Those who do anal lose vaginal ‘tightness’”

✅ TRUTH: The anus does not affect the vaginal muscles . What defines tone are factors such as childbirth, age and pelvic exercises (Kegel).

❌ MYTH 4: “You don’t need a condom for anal sex”

✅ TRUTH: The risk of STDs (HIV, HPV, hepatitis) is higher during anal sex due to the fragile mucosa. Always use protection (even between stable couples, if they wish).

❌ MYTH 5: “People who like anal also like BDSM”

✅ TRUTH: Anal pleasure is not linked to specific fetishes . It can be a gentle, romantic or more intense practice, depending on the couple.

🌟 Truths About Anal Pleasure

✅ Anus Can Give Intense Orgasms

• The area has many nerve endings , and for some people, stimulation can lead to powerful orgasms (especially if combined with touching the clitoris or penis).

✅ Lubrication is Mandatory

• Unlike the vagina, the anus does not produce natural lubrication . Use plenty of water-based or silicone- based lubricant .

✅ Preparation is essential

• Basic hygiene (washing externally is sufficient for most).
• Emptying your bowels first helps with comfort.
• Relax the muscles with fingers or anal plugs before penetration.

✅ Right Position Makes All the Difference

• Best positions for beginners:
  • On the side (more control).
  • From above (the person being penetrated controls the depth).
  • Lying face down (more relaxation).

✅ Anal Toys Can Help

• Anal plugs and vibrators help train muscles and increase pleasure.
• Always use toys with a base to avoid accidents.

💡 Tips for Safe and Pleasant Anal Sex

✔ Communicate: Agree on a safety signal (e.g. stop word).
✔ Go slowly: Start with fingers or small toys before penetration.
✔ Avoid alternating between anal and vaginal sex without changing the condom or washing the penis/toy (to avoid infections).
✔ Use a towel or wet wipe to make cleaning easier afterwards.
