What Does Anal Sex Feel Like For The Top?
Sex for the penetrator can be likened to entering a much tighter, hotter orifice with more friction or even a sucking sensation.
For people enjoying vaginal sex, anal may offer a different sensation. While for those not into vaginal sex, it can be an enjoyable form of penetrative sex.
There are other factors as well, for example, when power exchange is used in conjunction with anal play. Tops, for instance, may be excited by feeling extra domineering. Just as anal feels particularly submissive for bottoms.
You don’t need a penis to penetrate someone else. One such example is pegging, when a strap-on dildo is used for it or vagina play.
By the way, non-penis owners are not the only ones who can use a strap-on. Not least of which because they do not require an erection to use.
In addition, you can stretch or elongate the anus allowing for an even greater range of sensations over time.
- For example, the person being penetrated might practice elongating their anal canal. This not only changes how enjoyable anal sex feels for them but their partner as well.
- Likewise, the anal sphincter can be widened to reduce how tight it feels around a dick and lessen the anal strain when someone enters them.
What Does Anal Sex Feel Like For The Bottom?
For the receiver, the intense feeling stem from the pressure and rhythmic strokes applied to the inside of their bodies. It feels like reverse pooping, likely due to the anus’s proximity to our genitalia.
But even without genital stimuli, the anus has more than its fair share of pleasure receptors. You are probably familiar with this feeling, for example, when a large bowel movement feels pleasurable.
So it’s not exactly a massive leap from that sensation to intentionally inserting something to double or triple the effect.
In addition, the prostate gland can be a great source of intense sexual pleasure for those with them. It’s about the size of a large marble, located between the rectum and the bladder, and responsible for generating seminal fluid, providing fluid for sperm to swim in.
But that’s not the only thing the prostate does. Massaging it with a finger or specialty-designed sex toy may result in a prostate orgasm. This has been described as the most intense orgasms they have experienced.
Or, depending on the person and how their body is built, prostate stimulation can also pleasurably enhance a penile orgasm.
There are even those who can combine the two. When done the right way, it might lead to what they sometimes liken to the sensation of having multiple orgasms.

What Does Anal Sex Feel Like For Women?
For those with vaginas, anal can be wonderfully arousing.
Again, this could be due to how rectal insertion stimulates genital nerve endings. But the anus’ own set also plays a role in sexual arousal.
For women who find vaginal sex pleasurable, anal may offer a different sexual sensation, which can be appealing as switching from one to the other can feel wonderfully arousing.
Then there is double vaginal penetration and double anal penetration, where two people or one person with a vaginal or anal toy are involved simultaneously. It sounds appealing but requires no small amount of prep beforehand, like sexual gymnastics, to get everything and everyone in the proper position.
Therefore, we think women should take simultaneous vaginal and anal insertion play slowly. Putting too much pressure on an inexperienced anus can result in bad stuff. Like anal tissues getting torn, causing nasty hemorrhoids to form, or worse.
That’s why we like butt plugs. Using a butt plug or other anal-approved sex toys can be fantastic for vagina or dick owners. Nothing beats butt plugs for getting familiar with anal penetration.
You can gently expand the anus using sex toys to increase its girth or length. A wider or longer anus is the key to greater comfort and less pain for those penetrated.
How Can You Make Anal Sex Feel Better?
There are more than a few ways to make anal feel better.
First, remember how Biology 101 taught us the anus evolved to expel waste from our bodies. So when you put anything up there, you are going against mother nature.
But don’t despair! Remaining fully aware and always respectful of its primal nature allows us to play safe. And increase the pleasure we receive from anus play.
Leading with the importance of wearing a condom. Using them makes sense, as they are the best way to prevent the spread of Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs).
But they are also amazing friction-reducing devices. Friction causes irritation, which is not enjoyable when talking butt play. By reducing friction, the feeling is far more comfortable than otherwise.
So do your bit and adhere to safe anal sex guidelines as often as possible. Think of it as something you should always do. No matter what.
Along with using rectal-approved condoms is the application of penetration appropriate lubrication.
Water-based lubricants are soaked up before they can do any good, which is OK for a vaginal wall but not for rectal play. So stick with oil or silicone lubricants, especially brands uniquely formulated for this kind of play.
Naturally, you will want to use condoms similarly designed for not only rectal activities but will not react to whatever lube you might be using.
How much lube to apply and how often? A good rule is more than you think you need. Particularly during the initial penetration.
The reason is you need to keep your partner’s ass slick and irritation free. So when you feel you are using enough, apply a bit more. Think of it as something you should get into the habit of doing.
Deep breathing can also help the penetrated be more relaxed. It can aid if insertion feels painful or just distractingly uncomfortable.
Another effective technique to enhance your enjoyment is using sex toys. But not any run-of-the-mill products but ones manufactured specifically for butt sex.
And what a bunch of great ones to choose from! You name it, and there’s a good chance a company has made a whole line of toys to do it.
For getting familiar and aroused by insertion play, a butt plug is the bee’s knees. Since they come in a vast array of sizes, you can easily keep expanding your rectum by moving from one size to another.
Then there is the new generation of smart sex toys. These Bluetooth-enabled, smartphone controllable, teledildonic wonders can do everything but walk your dog or take out the trash.
Such as allowing you to use your iPhone or Android to increase or decrease their vibrations.
Along with linking two or more of them together, each replicating what happens to the other. Even when half a world away from one another.
These and other sex toys can be exceptionally effective for learning how anal feels.
And after you know and perhaps learn to enjoy it, they make it possible to enhance your pleasure by leaps and bounds.
Finally, do not forget the erotic aspects of butt play. After all, our imaginations can excite us just as much as our bodies can.
Artists who take paid commissions for detailed rear view drawings or an author writing erotic ass stories. If it turns you on, go for it!

Can I Orgasm From Anal?
It’s certainly possible to climax from anal sex. As we mentioned, prostate owners can experience a P-spot orgasm or in conjunction with a penile one. Sometimes even both.
Vagina owners can orgasm from anal sex as well. A huge number regularly say they cannot only come through anal play but find it easier than vaginal or clitoral stimulation.
Will you be able to come from rectal stimulation? How your body is uniquely shaped, inside and out, anal sex feels different to you.
We bring this up to remind you while one person like it, someone else may not. The same is true for the ability to cum from anal sex.
Please do not think ill of yourself or your partner if anal is not exciting. Instead, chalk it up to everyone being different and how wonderful that is.
Besides, it may not be something arousing right now. Given enough time, patience, and willingness to sexually experiment, who knows what could be arousing for you in the future?
If anal does get those good times rolling, remember these crucial facts about it.
Everyone should strive to be safe rather than sorry, like always using a condom or other safe sex equipment. Not to mention keeping the lube flowing.
Otherwise, be patient, cautious, and willing to slow down or stop if it’s painful. More than anything, if it’s your first time.
And when playing with a partner, ensure everyone is on the same page.
The point is anal should be fun, fantastic, and even downright amazing. But anal is also risky. Or rather, it will definitely be if you fail to respect what could go wrong.
Play smart, be aware, take precautions, and communicate anything to your partner the moment anything is uncomfortable or painful.
If you can do all that, welcome to the fabulously arousing, sexually exciting, and safe world of butt sex!
