What Is Anal Depth Training?
Anal depth training is inserting a toy as far as possible into the anal region. Think of it as how vigorously something may be inserted into it.
Normally, the human rectum is shallow, from an extreme length of nearly an inch and a quarter (3 cm) to slightly below 2 inches deep (5 cm).
However, the entry into the rectum is flexible as it can expel as much waste as the body needs. Or, for what we’re talking about in this article, accommodate a specialty-designed sex dildo.
Flexible though it is, this area can be remarkably fragile. Painful hemorrhoids or tearing can easily occur if excessively, roughly, or stretched without sufficient lubrication.
Why Do People Like Anal Depth Training?
People like many things about anal depth training, including the ability to have longer sexual devices inserted. But anal depth play is also extremely pleasurable on its own. With the ability to use longer sex toys, anal expansion often triggers an arousing array of sensations.
One of many popular sexual practices, Ii is far from a niche fetish. Anal play is great for applying pressure to the prostate gland for those equipped with them. Located between the penis and the rectum, it produces seminal fluid, which aids in ejaculation.
If gentle pressure is applied to it, the prostate can amplify the intensity and duration of orgasms. Or producing its own, allowing for what has been likened to a penis-equipped person’s version of multiple orgasms.
These are merely a few of the potential joys of anal play. To discover these and others, you must first understand the risks before starting anal depth training.
Is Anal Depth Training Dangerous?
Anal play can be dangerous. Because the anal cavity didn’t evolve to take things into the human body but rather push them out. So any type of anal penetration play is already sort of swimming upstream.
This doesn’t mean it can’t be done safely and with little or no discomfort. Its patience, caution, and willingness to immediately seek help are vital.
Patience, as you shouldn’t ever force anything into your anal cavity. Especially objects not expressly designed and built for it.
Caution, such as if something hurts, stop what you’re doing, and take a few calming breaths. If pain persists, slowly and carefully ease it out of your body.
By “willingness,” we mean if discomfort or any pain remains after removing an anal sex toy, or there’s a large amount of blood in your stool, go to the nearest Emergency Room as soon as possible.
Embarrassing it might be, but the longer you wait, the more likely things will get worse. Besides, doctors have seen everything. So a slight mishap when training anal depth isn’t going to phase them.
Don’t worry about anal depth training causing your anal area to “loosen.” Though it may take a bit of time for it to do so. Due to its inherent elasticity will eventually spring back no matter how deep into the anal you go or how much you stretch it.
How Deep Can I Penetrate My Anus?
Your anus can be deeply penetrated. How much of an anal stretch depends on your anatomy. The anal canal is approximately five inches (12 centimeters) deep. But under the right conditions, it can accommodate a foot or more.
During fisting, an entire hand or even an arm up to the elbow can be inserted deep into the anal cavity. Though, once again, your body might not be capable of it.
To start anal depth training, it’s best not to try and force yourself to handle a specific length. Rather, just see where you end up. Does it feel pleasurable? If so, then congratulations. After all, it’s not the destination but the journey.
What Tools Do I Need For Anal Training?
There are many tools you’ll need for your anal training. Due to its numerous risks, we insist you not cut corners regarding what you use.
For anal sex toys, they must be high quality and be expressly made for anal penetrative play with a flared base.
Remember those emergency room doctors we mentioned? They have countless stories about removing inappropriately inserted objects and items from people’s asses. So never any non-anal dildoes or anything else you “think” might be fine.
Unfortunately, something not often discussed regarding anal training is the importance of cleaning your rectum. Doing so will make your experience less icky. An enema may also help prevent tearing, irritation, or a nasty infection. Read this guide on how to clean for anal sex.
Paying attention to your anal sex diet beforehand is crucial. Avoiding foods containing insoluble fiber for two days before will make it easier. Certain spices may also irritate the bowels.
Excuse the joke, but the “bottom” line is to learn as much as possible about your body. Especially how it reacts to what you eat during your anal depth training.
Lubricant
Neck and neck, or butt and butt, using the right anal toys is, you can’t use too much lube.
Along with pushing waste out of the body, the rectum removes moisture, including a water-based lube.
This is why anal lubes are usually formulated with non-easily absorbable oil or silicone.
This is also why shortening was popular with fisting and anal sex fans. They could use as much as they wanted because it was cheap, easy to acquire, and organic.
But these days, we have the products of modern sexual science. The result is many specially designed anal sex lubricants to choose from.
Whether or not they’ll be good for your anal depth training or fisting is up to you. Including your body’s reaction, of course.
We recommend purchasing a good selection of the most recommended and see for yourself how they feel. Especially as you will need a lot to increase the capacity of the rectum.
A good rule of thumb is to figure out how much you need and then double or triple your order when purchasing fisting lube.
Again, your lower regions must be as slick and smooth as possible to avoid irritation or tears. So keep the lube flowing and slather on more whenever you feel it’s necessary.

Anal Depth Training Toys
When it comes to anal products, one size never fits all. Just ask people into fisting.
You’ll want to use a smaller variety of anal sex dildoes at the start of your anal depth training. Then, as it expands, you should steadily increase the length of your sex toys.
A company with boundless expertise in anal products in Square Peg’s anal toys. Makers of the best toys, their dildoes come in numerous sizes, shapes, styles, and materials. Their anal toys sometimes come with a suction cup base for extra stability. So they are the go-to place for your perfect depth toy.
Luckily, we’re here to help you pick your first Square Peg long dildo. Then, the anal depth training dildo you’ll need as you gain more and more experience with deep anal play.
Square Peg Toys Best For Beginners
For your initial foray into deep anal training, you’ll want to stick with a shorter, finger-like dildo. Square Pegs’ Ballistic Small is a perfect example. As is their Happy Hour Plug anal depth line.
The latter is a great dildo for beginners as it comes in eight sizes. So if you like having a familiar feeling dildo, you can buy one after another as you proceed with your anal depth training.
Or, if you prefer them realistic, there is Square Peg Toys’ Firmer Silicone series. As well as looking and feeling lifelike, this dildo comes in various sizes and is a fantastic way to enjoy expanding your anal horizons.

As your lower region gets used to longer and deeper toys, you’ll need a longer dildo. Square Peg Toys has you covered with a plethora of body-safe products ideal for the moderately experienced. Like their down-on-the-home Cob a Squat dildo or the Happy Hour Plug series.
Another effective toy for anal depth training is their similarly vegetable-themed Yam depth training dildo.
Square Peg Toys Best For Very Experienced
Eventually, you’ll need to move up to longer anal snake toys.
Again, Square Peg has what you need. Such as their devilishly named Demonic depth training dildo or the exceptionally lengthy-Long Longneck variety of long anal dildos.
But we have to give our highest recommendation to their Depth Probe line of Square Peg Toys’ long, body-safe, anal dildos. These anal probes are specifically designed for extreme anal depth training, with a perfect insertable length, and made of body-safe silicone.
Only use a colon snake after you and your ass are pain or discomfort free when using a huge dildo.
How To Do Anal Depth Training?
Here’s how to do anal depth training. Begin by educating yourself on all of its pleasures and possible risks. Consume nothing but soluble foods for the last 24 hours. Thoroughly clean yourself. Have loads of lube at hand. Buy the right Square Peg Toy or dildoes for your experience level.
Now what? Well, that’s what we’re here for with our next section on your road to further lengthen your anal area.
Note: Anal depth training is an advanced sex act, and you need to take great care when doing it. Any action you take upon the information on this website is strictly at your own risk, and we will not be liable for any losses, injuries, or damages. Learn more.
1. Relax The Pubo Rectal Sling
Yet another quickie anatomy lesson. As you proceed upwards through your anal cavity, you’ll encounter the Pubo Rectal or puborectalis sling. This exceptionally powerful muscle is fixed to your pubic bone and wraps around your anus like a proverbial sling.
It’s there to help prevent waste from flowing too freely. As such, it reflexively contracts when pressure is applied to it. You’ll have to learn to overcome if you want to deepen your anal cavity.
As with many automatic bodily functions, control of it begins by learning how it operates. Like noting how it feels before and during contractions or when you apply gentle pressure. In addition to what happens when you relax. Ask anyone into fisting, and they will tell you all about it.
Armed with this knowledge and learning to relax, you should be able to control its contractions with a simple technique. This is usually done by slow, steady breathing and meditation. Coupled with easing up on how much and how fast you’re inserting your anal depth training toy.
It will take time, but this isn’t a race, as we mentioned above. It may take days or even weeks. So try to embrace the reality that anal training does not happen overnight. How fast or slow you can take long anal play is a personal experience.
2. Get Used To The Pressure
Another massive help in getting familiar with the deep pressure your toys may put on your body. Initially, you may not find having something inserted up your ass brings you pleasure. If anything, it might make you feel downright weird.
But the more you do it, the more pleasure you will have. To help in this, try to be in the moment with these new sensations and learn to relax. Relish in this newfound feeling anal fullness. Ponder how it presses against your prostate. Pay attention to how it changes as you move your body or insert or withdraw a toy.
Do it often enough, and ultimately you’ll find yourself eagerly anticipating your next anal incursion with great pleasure.
3. Relax And Take Deep Breaths
Relaxation and breathing exercises are crucial for anal depth training. Remember, the puborectalis sling and the rest of your anus’ autonomic muscles will respond faster and stronger if you are experiencing stress or anxiety.
The opposite is true if you’re calm. Or if not, it’s certainly easier to consciously control these muscles when you’re at least somewhat relaxed.
Deep breathing is again key to this. But so is making sure you’re not too hot or cold. Or, for some people, it might help if soothing music is playing.
You may have to try this, that, and the other thing until you hit the perfect combo to put yourself in the right frame of mind. But learn to relax, your anal depth training or fisting session will be much easier and give you lots of pleasure.
4. Learn How To Pass The Sigmoid Bend
As you head into the rectum, passing the sigmoid colon and following your body’s natural internal curves, you’ll reach the Sigmoid Bend. This is where the large intestine begins and where your hardcode anal depth training will someday take you.
It’s important to understand this section of your body is only somewhat flexible. While you can go beyond it, you mustn’t apply pressure too much in pursuit of having anal fun.
Instead, use a long, narrow, super soft, and bendable toy with an appropriate insertable length. The experienced ones we noted from Square Peg dildoes are made for this purpose. Their size, narrowness, softness, and bendability are what you or anyone needs to carefully and safely navigate the Sigmoid Bend.
Even so, be extraordinarily cautious when using a colon snake. One of the best for anal play, it still requires patience the deeper you go.
Sensing pain, dealing with persistent pressure, finding the right tool, and learning when to start thrusting are keys to furthering your anal depth training.
Best Positions For Anal Depth Training
In concluding our guide, let’s go over a few positions that may make your deep anal probing more comfortable and help you find great satisfaction as you explore anal pleasure.
On Your Back
Laying on your back with your ass slightly elevated is quite popular. When in it, people often say it aids in relaxing the internal muscles. It feels less like pushing a toy up inside and more than gravity’s gently dropping it in.
In The Tub
Worrying about the messy side of anal play may sometimes leading inadvertent stress. People may prefer to stretch out in the tub or the shower to prevent this.
The only potential downside is the new challenge of not washing away or diluting oil-based lubricants. So avoid splashing water up into yourself if you want to use your bathroom for your anal depth training.
On Your Side
Another great position is to lay on your side with your knees bent. This way, you can comfortably reach back and down to your rectum without putting undue pressure on your back. It may also help you relax and focus on what your body is feeling.
Face down
Have a playmate willing to lend a hand? Like them to do the inserting while you are lying face down. You may not be able to reach your rectum though they definitely can. A significant upside to this position is how stress-free it can feel.
But since you aren’t in control of your anal sex toy, excellent communication and absolute trust in your partner are highly recommended.
