Can you prepare yourself for anal sex?

Anal sex is increasingly popular amongst both heterosexual and gay individuals. It eliminates the risk of unwanted pregnancy and also yields more tactile pleasure for the penis; due to the anus being tighter than the vagina. How to prepare for your first anal sex experience? Unless you're an exception, your first experience will almost certainly be painful. The best ways of reducing pain are to (a) use lots of anti-bacterial lubricant and (b) start slow. Starting slow means letting your partner gradually "sensitize" the anus by initially inserting one and then two fingers etc. Eventual insertion of the penis should also be done slowly and at the pace of the "receiver". Anal sex requires trust in your partner to stop if uncomfortable. The penis should ideally be inserted in-line with the body and not at an angle. "Doggy style" and "receiver-on-top" are good starting positions. "Receiver-on-top" also allows for better control of the pace of insertion. Individuals preparing for anal sex might experiment with enemas, which further prepare the body for anal insertion and also help with cleaning of the anus (good before and after hygiene is key in anal sex). Butt plugs, dildo's and vibrators are additional anal sex toys for both beginners and more advanced practitioners. Anal sex should always be done with a condom, due to the higher likelihood of blood-blood and thus STD transfer. Condoms are also more likely to break during anal sex, which makes "slow" and "careful" two of the most important words. Anal sex can be truly amazing if done in the spirit of trust, self awareness and with a respectful partner. Being relaxed and comfortable will definitely improve anal sex experiences. If you're in doubt about any of these things ... just say "no".
