Sodomy in complete safeness

First off all, the most important element of any sexual activity is consent. Remember that even if you consented for anal sex, you can always change your mind and say “stop” at any time. If you don't feel comfortable or feel pressure, let your partner know. Sex should be consensual. Always. Sex without consent is a rape.

Before having anal sex, it is worth ensuring relaxation. It’s important to stay relaxed - mentally and physically - to avoid tensing the muscles in the anal region involuntarily as this can often lead to a negative or uncomfortable experience. A warm bath, massage and long foreplay can help you relax properly. Trust us, a slowness may be the key. Anal sex has its own rules - it requires more time, attention and patience. You can start by stimulating the anal sphincter with a finger. Over time, larger, longer and wider elements dedicated for anal sex can be introduced through the anus into the rectum - anal plugs, dildos, anal beads, a penis, a few fingers or a fist.

It is very important to use condoms from the beginning through to the end of anal penetration. Condoms are not only a method of contraception, but also protection against sexually transmitted diseases and infections (STD/STI). Anal sex practices carry bigger risks of HIV infection, in comparison with vaginal or oral sex because anus and rectum zones are particularly sensitive to fissures and wounds, through which STIs can be transmitted more easily. For the same reason it’s worth to use a dental dam when using oral to anal intercourse.

IMPORTANT! Never use the same condom for anal and vaginal sex. By using just one condom, you can easily transfer fecal bacteria from the anus area to the inside of the vagina. Don't put an anal toy in your or your partner's vagina without cleaning it first. 

In addition to condoms, don't forget lubricant. The rectum and anus do not self-lubricate, so lubrication is essential during anal sex. Don't skimp on it! Water-based lubricant is a better choice than silicone or oil-based lubricant because of its pH appropriate for the anal area, we recommend the one from Mylubie. Better hydration means less risk of irritation and pain. Be sure to apply lubricant directly to the anus, as well as to fingers and toys. Remember to reapply if the lube dries.

Avoid anesthetics. This is an important point regarding any sexual activity. Pain signals us that something is wrong. By using anesthetics - like a numbing cream - may stop you properly feeling your body's signals, which could lead to serious damage or injury.

And now it's time to dispel the myths surrounding anal sex - or more precisely - around defecation. . Don't worry ! Anal sex isn't dirty. Anal sex involves the rectum, which is the last part of the large intestine and the anus, which is the end of the large intestine. Except for situations when you want - colloquially speaking - to poop, the rectum remains empty. So if you visited the toilet about 2 hours before anal sex, don’t be afraid of getting dirty.

Last but not least, anal sex is safe as long as you use enough lubricants, listen signals coming out from your body and you don’t force things to move forward when your body isn’t ready. Remember that anal sex may not work the first time, for sure it will be far from porn movies scenes, but thanks to conversation, showing acceptance, you can have safe, painless, pleasant and free from taboo anal sex.
