How to Have Anal Sex: Sex 101 with Jelle

How to Have Anal Sex for the First Time

Communication is Key

First things first: talk it out! Have an open and honest conversation with your partner about your desires, boundaries, and any concerns. This sets the stage for a comfy and consensual experience.

Preparation and Relaxation

Preparation is everything. Make sure you and your partner are relaxed and ready. A warm bath or shower can help ease your muscles and melt away any tension.

Choosing the Right Lubricant

Using a high-quality lubricant is super important for reducing pain during anal sex. Unlike the vagina, the anus doesn’t self-lubricate, so you’ll need plenty of lube. Our Jelle anal lubricants are perfect for anal play, offering just the right amount of cushion and glide.

Start Slow

Begin with gentle external stimulation to get your body used to the sensation. Use fingers or small toys and gradually progress to penetration. Always listen to your body and stop immediately if you feel any discomfort.

5-Step Guide to Anal Sex for Beginners

1. Communication: Chat openly about your desires, fears, and boundaries with your partner.
2. Education: Learn about proper techniques, preparation, hygiene, and the importance of lubrication.
3. Preparation: Use high-quality lubricants like Jelle and enjoy plenty of foreplay.
4. Gradual Progression: Start with gentle external stimulation before gradually moving to penetration.
5. Feedback and Adjustment: Keep talking with your partner, sharing feedback to ensure comfort and pleasure.

Identifying and Addressing Pain

Why Pain During Anal Sex is Bad

Pain is your body’s way of saying something isn’t right. Ignoring it can lead to injuries like tears and an increased risk of infections. It’s crucial to address any pain immediately to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.

Why Numbing Products Are Not the Answer

While numbing products might sound like a quick fix, they can actually be dangerous. They mask the pain, which means you won't feel if something is wrong. This can lead to serious injuries. Instead, focus on proper preparation, relaxation, and using lots of lube to ensure comfort without the risks.

Common Causes of Pain During Anal Sex

• Insufficient Lubrication: Not using enough lube can cause friction and discomfort.
• Tension and Anxiety: Being tense or anxious can make the muscles tighter, increasing pain.
• Too Much Too Soon: Rushing into penetration without proper preparation can be painful.

Tips to Reduce Pain

• Use Plenty of Lubricant: Apply a generous amount of lube to both the anal area and the penetrating object.
• Take Your Time: Gradual progression and patience are key. Start with smaller toys or fingers and work your way up.
• Communicate: Keep an open dialogue with your partner about what feels good and what doesn’t.

Enemas: To Clean or Not to Clean

Many people prefer to use enemas before anal play to feel clean and fresh. If you choose to do this, make sure you use a gentle, lukewarm water enema and don’t overdo it. Overuse can irritate the lining of the rectum, so be gentle and take your time.

Recommendations for Lubricants and Toys

Jelle Lubricants

• Jelle: Our original water-based anal lubricant, Jelle, is known for its super thick viscosity. It’s glycerin-free, never sticky or tacky, and provides the perfect cushion for a pleasurable experience.
• Jelle Chill and Jelle Heat: For those who enjoy sensation play, Jelle Chill offers a cooling sensation, while Jelle Heat provides a warming effect. Both are designed to enhance your experience without using desensitizers, ensuring you stay in tune with your body’s signals.
• Jelle PLUS: A safer alternative to numbing agents, featuring natural relaxants like clove oil and jojoba. Jelle PLUS also includes soothing ingredients such as arnica, aloe, and vitamin E, making it a fantastic choice for a more comfortable experience.
• Ultra Silicone Lubricant: For long-lasting lubrication, our Ultra Silicone lubricant is an excellent choice. Silicone lubes are particularly good for anal play because they don’t absorb into the skin as quickly, providing extended glide. Ultra Silicone is ideal for use with toys and during prolonged sessions.

Using Anal Lube Correctly

• Choose the Right Lube: Select a high-quality anal lube like Jelle, designed specifically for anal play. Look for a product that provides long-lasting lubrication and is compatible with any toys or condoms you plan to use.
• Apply Generously: Apply a generous amount of lube to the anal area before beginning any play. It’s better to use too much than too little.
• Reapply as Needed: Keep the area well-lubricated throughout the session, reapplying lube as necessary.
• Clean Up After: Clean up any residual lube from your body and toys to maintain hygiene and prevent infections.
• Store Properly: Ensure the lube bottle is tightly sealed and stored in a cool, dry place to extend its shelf life.
