Best Anal Toys for Beginners Ultimate Guide

Introduction to Anal Sex

Anal sex is not as easy as it looks. It requires training, communication, practice with fingers, toys, and communication with yourself and your partner about what feels good and what feels better.” In the VICE article “How to Train Your Ass for All Kinds of Anal Sex,” Archie Bongiovanni explains, “If you’re up for it, try anal sex training four to five times a week by inserting a toy (a plug or exercise with a dildo) for 10 to 15 minutes. Every sphincter is a star and every puckered ass is possible.” Says Bongiovanni: “Not only do they look great, but they’re also full of nerve endings, which means anal sex can lead to bombastic orgasms. With a little more self-love, a little more lube, and a little more anal sex education, you too can experience this special kind of pleasure.

Know Your Anatomy

As Bongiovanni explains, there are two sphincters in your buttocks: an inner sphincter that you can’t control, and an outer sphincter that can be taught to relax, open up, and let pleasure in. It takes time for the outer sphincter to learn how to enjoy sexual pleasure and get used to accommodating larger objects. It is important to only use sex toys that are specifically designed for anal sex. Your internal sphincter is very powerful and can suck up objects like the sandworms in Dune, so always make sure your toy has a flared base to prevent it from getting lost inside and causing unnecessary bodily damage.

Preparation for anal sex

It is vital to be relaxed, careful and open-minded when beginning anal sex. Start slowly and gently pat or lick your partner’s back. Remember, lube is your best friend. If your partner has a penis, try gently pinching the perineum (the area between the penis and testicles) with your fingers and sliding them in.” If you feel pain, remove the toy and try again in a day or so. We’re not ‘getting over’ any pain,” Bongiovanni advises. Proper breathing exercises, position changes and timing are top priorities. The training process cannot be rushed. With patience and the right set of anal toys, you’ll get there.

Best types of toys for anal sex

Butt plugs

The toy of choice for anal sex beginners, butt plugs can be used to relax the pelvic muscles before anal sex, but that’s not all they’re good for. Butt plugs can also create pressure on the back of a woman’s vagina or a man’s prostate, making all the stimulation even more intense. Pulling out as you reach orgasm can be a real game changer. The male G-spot is also located here, which will give you even more sexual pleasure.

The plug itself is tapered for easier insertion, has a thin end for comfortable placement, and flares out at the bottom to prevent snagging. The plugs come in a variety of different sizes from small to large, and you can also find beginner butt plugs in our plug sets and anal training toys to help you improve over time. If you’re looking for vibrating anal toys, we also offer a range of vibrating plugs that will drive you crazy with their buzzing sound.

Anal Beads

Another fantastic anal sex toy for beginners – anal beads, sometimes called love beads, start small and then gradually increase in size. The gaps between the beads will give you a completely different sensation than a solid butt plug. It’s also much more flexible.

Like butt plugs, anal beads will make everything feel really intense – but the trick with these beads is pulling out. Get the timing right and pull them out just as you’re reaching orgasm. You won’t believe how good this feels, and you need to take your time to try and experience this special sensation.

Best Anal toys style for beginners

Consider the following anal toys for beginners as a road map. Start with the basics and explore your options in terms of texture, size and feel.

Baby’s first butt plug

Your first butt plug should be small, tapered, and made of a smooth material like glass. Glass is ideal for beginners because it’s easy to clean and great for temperature play. Start small and gradually switch to a larger size as you feel more comfortable.

Anal dildo

While plugs and beads are used for immobilization, anal dildos are toys used for penetration. They are preferred by those who wish to add extra pleasure to their anal orgasms. While they are more suited to experienced enthusiasts, there are plenty of options for beginners as well.

Almost any dildo can be used for anal play, but we have the best options for beginners in our anal dildo assortment. Made of luxurious and soft silicone, these dildos look gorgeous and smooth, and some of these curved dildos also gently and moderately stimulate the prostate.

Prostate massager

Ideal anal toys for men, prostate massagers are perfectly shaped to stimulate the prostate for the most incredible orgasms. They are more targeted than butt plugs – shape is more important than size. With these vibrating prostate massagers, you’ll be able to stimulate the P-spot with precision and ease. Try more and please don’t give up lightly, guys!

Strap-on

Okay, a strap-on is more than just an anal sex toy. But anal sex using a strap-on is such a popular pastime that it has its own name – “slapping”.

Bondage straps are a much-loved part of BDSM play because they offer gender-swapping role reversals, but they can also have more intimate applications for both heterosexual and homosexual couples. No matter what you want to play with, they are one of the best anal sex toys for play between couples.
