It is primarily about preparing for anal sex. If you are just a beginner to anal sex or an anal expert, you certainly won’t just leap into it. If you’re entirely new to anal, it may be worth doing some solo play first. You can pleasure yourself with your fingertips or adult toys. If you are going to explore anal with a partner, you would likely take extra time doing foreplay before anal, the very same way you will do with other methods of penetrative sex. With plenty of lube, you can ease and play with sticking your finger or sex toy in your anus little by little depending on what feels pleasant. When we talk of working up to anal, we are referring to taking the right measures to make sure that you are ready for anal penetration.
