Q. What are some overall rules and tips for anal masturbation - especially for men? For example, can I insert toys up my rectum and how far?
A. Because the anus contains a high concentration of nerve endings, stimulation of this orifice can be extremely pleasurable, for both men and women. This can be done in a variety of ways, such as lightly rubbing the entrance with a vibrator, penetrating the opening with a finger, or thrusting with an Anal Sex Toy while masturbating.
Aside from the satisfaction that can be experienced by either sex from anal masturbation, many males get a great deal of enjoyment from having their prostate gland stimulated - so there's even more incentive for you to experiment with this form of sexual arousal. The Prostate can be stimulated through rectal wall, preferably by massaging it, and is located approximately 1.5 inches (3 cm) past the anal opening towards the direction of the navel.
here is some basic information to get you started:
1. You can use a variety of toys for anal masturbation, preferably those made of hygienic, non-porous materials, such as glass or high grade silicone. You may also cover any suitable toy with a Condom if you aren't sure if it is safe to be used inside the rectum.
2. Always use a toy with a flared base to prevent accidental insertion beyond the point of easy retrieval! As the anal canal is about 2.5 inches long and the rectum is approximately 7 inches long, there is a lot of room to be able to penetrate yourself quite thoroughly if desired. However, going deep isn't necessary for butt play to feel good; since the nerve endings are concentrated at the entrance, you can enjoy plenty of gratification by keeping your play shallow.
3. The muscles surrounding the anus and the rectum are called sphincters. They are capable of powerful contractions, so much so that anal penetration can end up hurting or even injuring an individual. This is why it is important to lubricate liberally, progress slowly, and reserve anal play for when you're feelings completely relaxed.
