How do you prepare for anal sex?

Contributor: sexygoddess sexygoddess
I have to have bm before. I have to feel clean and "empty" down there >_> clitoral stimulation helps too.

I am a gay guy and I am OCD about cleanliness... I have to have had a bowel movement, then light enema, then still a shower and or quick baby wipe clean up... and I expect the same from a partner...

We don't do any real prep beyond making sure we are very "clean" and fresh from the shower. Of course, making sure your bowel is empty (recent bowel movement) will make sure that rectum is empty and never had a problem with "residual" anything coming out...in decades of doing anal. We love it...just lube, lube and then add more lube. Then, of course, add extra lube and then some more.

If I suspect our activities later that day might include pegging, I will make sure to use a bulb enema once or twice a few hours before, followed by a good shower. Have to feel clean to really enjoy it. Of course going slow when we first start is essential.

I'm a female and I haven't had anal in several years, but I would just take a nice hot shower and scrub with soap. I also liked to "go" at least a few hours before. Never had any problems with leakage or diarrhea afterwards.

side note: why are enemas bad?

There are some things that are known about enemas and some that are not known.

We know that putting chemicals in your colon can cause damage to it, and there are even some cases of people being put in the hospital because of a soap enema damaging their colon or the hyperosmotic "Fleet-type" enemas causing electrolyte imbalance. It's also known that if you absorb too much water you can have electrolyte imbalances the other way, but you'd have to take a pretty big enema for that. Plain water has also been shown in one study to cause observable changes to the colonic mucosa, but it isn't known what that means/what effects that has yet.

If you do enemas it's best to keep them as small as possible and consider using a saline solution. Routinely taking larger enemas can potentially mess up the body's "trigger".

In general there don't seem to be many large-scale studies about enemas, so the general attitude is "be careful just in case". Not that I really blame them for the lack of studies - it isn't the sort of field that gives you respect as a researcher, and finding subjects will be hard. "We're doing a study. We want to give you lots of enemas and then do a bunch of uncomfortable and embarrassing tests to see if they have any bad effects" isn't going to have me lining up.

That said, I usually take one before buttplay because I'm much more comfortable when I know I'm clean, and I know that I'm not always naturally clean there. I try to be safe and sane about it and haven't had any problems.

Generally we try to get her to relax, and perhaps start with some kind of toy first.

My old boyfriend and I hardly ever had to prepare, I was always just ready for it. But I'm just not interested in anal play with my new boyfriend.

I tend to clean myself and shower before having sex of any kind. I'm a freak about being clean. I've even made guys go wash their junk beforehand as well. Nothing worse then going down on someone that tastes sweaty/dirty/gross. As for anal I just shower and lube up. Obviously if I've ate an outrageous amount that day or certain foods I pass on it altogether, but otherwise a shower and lube is good.

Also, watch your diet for that day. No heavy meals, no nuts or corn or other foods that never digest. Best, keep it liquid. Soup and beer.

We are both typically "fresh and clean" so anal sex isn't anything that we really go out of our way to prepare for.

I try to only do it if I had BM recently.

A diet high in fiber and good foods is big. I think just having a happy colon is biggest for me. If I have a crappy week and dont eat well then anal is out of the question because it just does feel good or right. Short of that a quick shower beforehand is always a good idea

I just use a "body wipe" and make sure everything is nice 'n' clean!

I was wondering about using condoms for it, myself...I know he's not that into using them, since I am on the pill...I guess as long as you "clean up" afterwards, you might be alright.

I have THOUGHT about using some-sort of "light" enema, just something with a little bottle or whatever you use.

What about that?
Any good results?
