What To Eat Before Anal Sex?
Before getting to why various foods are good or not so good, let us discuss why a pre-penetration bottom’s diet is essential. It’s true for gay men or anyone who likes this sexual activity.
More than anything, the human rectum was not built for penetration play. Pushing human waste out or absorbing moisture? Not an issue, but inserting a penis or sex toy will always be problematic.
Unlike the vagina, which evolved for just that, its internal tissues can often handle penetration play easily. At least more than the lower gastrointestinal tract, which tends to be remarkably fragile.
A torn or irritated bowel can result in infections, serious injury, and a greater chance of contracting a Sexually Transmitted Infection.
About these, never forget there are many to worry about. Diseases like HIV, hepatitis A and B, herpes, chlamydia, genital warts, syphilis, and gonorrhea. To mention only a few of them.
Having the penetrated person’s bowels as waste free as possible is one of the best ways to enjoy safe butt play. Besides, it will be much more enjoyable for them and their penetrating partner.
So how do you get rid of all that nasty poo? An enema or supplement can definitely help, which we will get to later. But nothing beats reducing the amount and type of excrement the recipient produces.
Let’s start by understanding the difference between the two types of dietary fibers. Like how most doctors and dieticians recommend a combination of both to have a stable digestive cycle.
- Insoluble fiber does not easily dissolve in water and prevents gastrointestinal blockages like constipation.
- Soluble is easily absorbed by the body and does everything from regulating blood sugar levels to avoiding constipation.
Preparing for butt play may require eating high insoluble fiber meals a day or so beforehand. After that, switch to the soluble variety to get things really moving.
However, some say you should restrict your intake of insoluble foods a day before sex. Then switch over to soluble to flush out your system. In either case, avoid anything containing indigestible bits because you do not want anything like them in your rectum.
- Whole grains, brown rice, certain berries, raw nuts, potatoes, and cauliflower are all high in insoluble fiber.
- Meanwhile, soluble fiber is in peeled fruit or vegetables because their skin can sometimes be insoluble while their insides are not. Apples and potatoes are good examples. On a side note, avoid fruits with tiny seeds, such as strawberries.
Pro Tip: Here is a good resource on the differences between insoluble and soluble fiber and which food has what.
There’s an ongoing debate about what to eat and when to prepare. We already talked about limiting yourself to insoluble fiber goods until the day before. Then moving to the opposite, the closer you get to play.
The Gay Male Journal has a superb article on anal sex diet preparedness. They even have a breakdown of how various foods, medications, and water intake might affect your gastrointestinal tract.
Other anal sex experts have pointed out that waste in the lower rectum does not store from what is in your stomach the day before. Instead, the bowel is where fecal matter is pushed out of you, meaning a good, healthy bowel movement should eliminate most of it.
Which is only a problem doing very intense penetration play. Activities like deep anal fisting or using excessively long sex toys or butt plugs.
So your pre-penetration schedule might be anything from a day to a few hours before. As we will also talk about in a few, it is up to you to work out which makes you feel the most comfortable.
Pro Tip: The same for gassy food such as beans or dairy products. Both can be embarrassing and make your excrement unpleasantly sticky. Milk-free yogurts and similar natural products are excellent substitutes.
What Not To Eat Before Anal Sex?
And here we are, guys, discussing why there is no surefire way of preparing for butt play. Sure, this article offers suggestions that will probably do just fine.
But since every person on this little planet is unique, we cannot say for sure what will or will not work for you. Same with what can improve your overall health.
Instead, try to view prepping as an ongoing process. Part of that is always willing to do some experimenting with eating fiber.
Guys and gals should sample various foods to see how they affect your bowel movements. Therefore, you should eat an assortment of foods containing a range of essential ingredients, then pay attention to how you feel – especially if you experience cramps, gas pains, and the like.
Equally, the amount of water or fluids you drink. It may take some time, but eventually, you get a good idea of what will make you as clean as possible.
That said, here are what not to feast on before butt penetration. These bits of advice are from doctors and human sexuality experts. And because of this, we feel they are worth paying attention to.
- You already heard us mention fruits or veggies with seeds. Plus, not chowing down on dairy or gas-producing foods. Processed foods, greasy meals, and high fat or protein items are also not advisable. Same with spicy foods and artificial sweeteners.
- Alcohol and butt play do not mix, as imbibing tends to dry its tissues. For a good, healthy, and comfortable time, you do not want a less-than-moist ass.
- Various medications can additionally change your bowel movements. Their possible effects range from constipation to diarrhea or excess gas. Newly prescribed drugs can monkey wrench even the most carefully worked out dietary plan. So when taking them, you may want to return to square one. That is until you figure out what it is doing to your ass.
- Other, shall we say, substances as well can play havoc with your digestive tract. Therefore, it’s a good reason to observe their effects. Particularly if you are only an occasional user, because taking a drug now and again tends to hit our bodies harder. Versus, that is, ones that our systems have a chance to get used to.
Other Anal Prep Tips
Even the most carefully planned diet for a bottom can result in excess waste. There is nothing wrong with that. And it’s something everyone’s body occasionally does.
But it doesn’t mean you cannot enjoy gay anal penetration. Quite the opposite, as there are several effective techniques you can do to clean out your rectal area.
The first to spend some time on the toilet. You would be surprised how squatting down puts your digestive system into expelling mode. Drinking warm water can also help because it triggers your bowels to expel waste.
But do not strain yourself while trying, which can make your colon tighten. Instead, relax as much as you can. Meditation is a great technique for putting yourself in a relaxed mood.
Note: Before trying anything described in this article, consult your healthcare provider, especially for any supplements.
1. Enemas
If that does not get your rectum clean, then try an enema.
There are two main types you can buy.
- One is a hose or nozzle connected to a showerhead or bathtub faucet.
- The second kinds are more self-contained. They can be a squeezable bulb of saline solution. A plastic bag or flexible bottle the user can fill is another version.
Use your enema in a bathroom. Particularly in the shower or close to a toilet. Then gently insert the business end into your butt. The application of rectal lube will make this easier.
After inserting the enema’s end, use it to allow a slow, steady amount of water to flow into yourself.
- You should not do too much or try to fill your rectum too fast. The goal is to dislodge any waste and flush it out. Not totally fill yourself up.
- In addition, the water should not be too hot or too cold. Ideally, it should be around body temperature. A handy way to measure this is to take a sip or put your finger into it. If the water feels comfortable, it should be safe.
Some say only tap water is good for douching. Though some experts frown on using anything to remove waste. Preferring diets and good bowel movements to take care of flushing out the rectum.
They even go so far as to disapprove of them with the argument being they damage your intestinal lining. The other negative thing about enemas is how they can upset your bacterial balance.
It is tough to say who is right. What is undeniable is to never use anything but water or maybe a mild saline solution for an enema.
Delicate and effective at absorbing moisture, introducing a substance into your bowels will cause it to go straight into your bloodstream.
Perhaps the best course of action is not to overdo anything. Reserving a douche or enema for when you have too much excrement is a good example. The same for the amount of time you spend doing it. Such as spending a few minutes and not several hours.
Back to what we were saying before, listen to your body. So add when and when not to use an enema to learn about your gastrointestinal tract functions.
Again, it may take patience and practice to figure all this out. But it will be time well spent. Otherwise, you may risk injuring yourself or getting unnecessarily frustrated.
Butt play is not a race or a competition. And there will be times when it is simply not possible or comfortable. When this happens, do not blame yourself or your partner. Merely chalk it up to how it can be a hit-or-miss sexual activity.
2. Aftercare
Butt care does not stop when the sex is over. Quite the contrary, the receiver needs to clean up some more.
So after the smiles have faded, they should head to the shower. Once there, wash your butt with mild soap and warm water. Excessively hot water is not your friend as it will injure you.
Same for alcohol or scented wipes. Your butt lives with fecal matter, so you do not need to scrub it. The idea is to remove excess waste and comfort your anal sphincter. You do not need to sterilize it.
Anal sex aftercare should also be when you pay attention to any discomforts. You might experience cramping, excessive gas, or irregular bowel movements, to name just a few.
A small amount of blood is not something to worry about. However, penetration can result in hemorrhoids – especially when you don’t use enough anal lube during sex. Any over-the-counter treatment will relieve discomfort and speed up the healing process.
If there is prolonged discomfort or serious pain, go to your physician or emergency room as soon as possible. We even recommend a visit if you or your partner are even distressed.
If you are worried about what a medical professional might say, remember they have seen everything. It is also always better to play it safe than have a potentially serious injury or illness and not do something about it.
