While the vagina produces a natural lubricant, unfortunately, the rectum doesn’t so it’s incredibly important to use a lubricant to prevent friction or, in a worst-case scenario, tearing.To begin with, you should get the penetrating partner to apply lots of lube, and use the pad of their finger to gently massage the entrance.However, lube should be applied thoroughly throughout anal sex too.
Many people feel themselves drying up midway. Use this as an opportunity to take a break and re-apply the lube, while checking in with each other and making sure that you’re both enjoying it.While lube is vital, you can’t use just any lube – it must be anal-friendly.
Fortunately, most lubricants will mention whether it’s anal-friendly on the packaging, however, the best are water-based lubricants.
