How to Have Amazing (and Comfortable) Anal Sex: Tips from the LoveKinx Team

Feb 24, 2025perry weldon

Anal sex is a fan favourite for many, whilst others find it a little daunting. If you’re someone who wants to like it, but you’re apprehensive about trying anal for the first time, approaching it in the right way is key.

At LoveKinx, we understand the importance of being comfortable during intimacy. That’s why we’re sharing these essential tips to ensure your anal experiences are exactly that – comfortable and amazing!


Open Lines of Communication


Before trying anal for the first time, you must have an open and honest conversation with your partner. Discuss your desires, boundaries, and any concerns you may have. Opening these lines of communication will help you ensure everyone is on the same page.


Prioritise Good Hygiene


Lots of people find anal sex exposing and a little uncomfortable at first. Prioritising hygiene is a great way to mitigate these fears and feel more confident.

There are a few simple steps you can take before anal sex to ensure you’re comfortable and clean. A gentle rinse with warm water can help you feel fresher. Some individuals opt for douching, but this is a personal choice and not a necessity. We also advise using protection, such as a condom, to reduce the risk of STIs and maintain hygiene.


Invest in Good Quality Lubrication


Your bottom doesn’t produce natural lubrication, making a good quality lube essential. Apply generously to reduce friction and enhance comfort during anal sex. Our personal fave is the Loving Joy Anal Lube (RRP £8.99).


Start with Anal Toys


Introducing toys can help you become accustomed to new sensations. This will help you feel more prepared when trying anal for the first time. If you’re a beginner, start with smaller toys and gradually work your way up when you feel comfortable doing so. Why not try our anal kit for beginners?


Take It Slow


Patience is crucial when it comes to anal, and this is something you should discuss with your partner before turning up the heat. We recommend beginning with gentle stimulation, such as an external massage. Listen to your body and proceed at your own pace. Remember, it’s supposed to be fun!


Experiment with Positions


Finding the right position can have a huge impact on pleasure. Spooning and good old Doggy Style are among some of the most comfortable positions for anal sex, so we’d recommend starting here and experimenting as you go.


Post-Anal Care


After anal, take time to clean up and relax. Gently wash the area with warm water and mild soap. Reflecting on the experience with your partner can also strengthen your connection and enhance future encounters.
