The Only Anal Massage Guide You’ll Need
Everyone knows about anal sex, but have you heard about anal massage? While interest in anal sex for all genders is on the rise, anal penetration can be intimidating for beginners. For those curious to explore anal pleasure but not wanting to jump straight into penetration, an anal massage is the perfect place to start.
That’s why we put together this comprehensive anal massage guide for beginners and advanced practitioners alike. Let's discuss why anal massage is sexy, the best techniques, tips, and positions.
What Is an Anal Massage?
Anal massage involves external stimulation of the sensitive area around the anus using your hands, sex toys, or mouth. It might also include massaging other intimate areas simultaneously, such as the buttocks. Anal massage can serve as a warm-up for anal sex but isn't necessary.
Why Give Your Partner an Anal Massage
Massaging any part of your body feels great—it's relaxing, pleasant, and can be highly arousing in certain areas. The anus, like the genitals, has thousands of sensitive nerve endings that feel very pleasurable when stimulated, even without penetration. Both people with penises and people with vulvas can enjoy this sensation.
How To Give a Mind-Blowing Anal Massage
To give your partner the best anal massage, follow these tips:
Before You Start
1. Discuss Interests: Before attempting an anal massage, discuss with your partner to ensure both are interested. Avoid having these conversations during sex to avoid pressure.
2. Set Boundaries: Understand each other’s boundaries before starting. Your partner might not want to explore penetration, even with a finger.
3. Establish Safe Words: If incorporating kink elements like restraint, roleplay, or sensory deprivation, establish safe words.
Anal Massage Hygiene Tips
· Nail Care: Ensure nails are trimmed and polished to avoid scratching your partner.
· Clean Hands: Wash your hands well before starting.
· Freshen Up: The receiving partner might want to shower or use wet wipes. Grooming around the anus area is optional—do what makes you feel sexy, confident, and relaxed.
Use Plenty of Lube
Lube is essential for anal massage, even without penetration. It enhances sensations and reduces friction. Water-based lube is a great choice—it's mess-free, easy to clean, and safe with condoms.
Start Slow and Build
To enhance the experience:
1. Full-Body Massage: Start with a full-body massage or at least massage the buttocks and surrounding area to help your partner relax.
2. Use Vibrators: Incorporate a favorite vibrator to enhance the massage. Start on lower settings and gradually increase.
Pressure Is Key
When using fingers and hands to massage the anus:
1. Vary Pressure: Start with light pressure and gradually increase. Change pressure at different points for varied sensations.
2. Listen to Reactions: Pay attention to your partner’s responses to find the perfect pressure and spot.
Go Beyond the Anus
· Full Erotic Massage: Stimulate the penis or vulva while massaging the anus or alternate between different areas.
· Oral Stimulation: Use your mouth to stimulate the genitals while massaging the anus.
· Rimming: Consider adding rimming (analingus) if comfortable, ensuring the lube used is edible and safe.
The Best Anal Massage Techniques
1. Circles: Draw large or small circles around the anus with one or more fingers.
2. Stroke: Gently stroke the anus from top to bottom and vice versa with one or more fingers.
3. Rub: Move a finger over the anus up and down, using one or more fingers for varied stimulation.
4. Double Stroke: Use both hands to stroke the area around the anus, alternating directions.
5. Double Rub: Rub the area with both hands, adjusting pressure and speed as needed.
The Best Anal Massage Positions
1. Doggy Style: Receiving partner on all fours, giving partner behind. The receiving partner can lower their face and arch their back for better access.
2. Horizontal: Receiving partner lies on their stomach, giving partner straddles their legs or sits next to them.
3. Against the Wall: Receiving partner stands facing the wall, giving partner kneels, sits, or squats behind.
4. Bent Over: Receiving partner bends over the giving partner’s lap, bed, sofa, or table. The giving partner stands behind or sideways.
