Proper Lubrication
More so than in any other form of sex, proper lubrication is essential in the enjoyment of
anal sex. Every time you insert anything into the anus, from a finger to a penis, you're likely
to tear tissue walls along the sides (much like you do to the inside of your mouth every time you brush your teeth).
The more lubricant you use, the less damage you do each time.
Suffice to say, you can't overlubricate when it comes to anal sex.
You'll find that long lasting oil based lubricants work best for anal sex, but the drawback for oil based lubricants
is that they will damage a latex based condom. Oil based lubricants last longer than water based lubricants.
Since you must be very careful in regard to STDs with
anal sex, you should only use oil based lubricants if you are with a mutually monogamus partner. Water based
lubricants will get the job done, but you may need to reapply frequently during anal sex.
