I want to talk about solo anal play today because here's a thing.
Everyone can enjoy it.
And as time goes on, I am seeing more of you get curious about anal play,
but then you're not exactly sure where to start, which I get.
So there's great news about this.
You can explore this sex act entirely on your own.
Now, maybe you're already totally down with anal stimulation, and if so, that's great.
I'm so glad that you are loving anal play.
But for many people, it can take a beat just to get totally comfortable with it.
And that's because psychologically, you're teaching your mind to receive a new set of sensations.
And physically, you're also training this muscle group to relax into pleasure.
There's like a whole lot going on with anal sex.
There could be some stigmas, there's some shamer on it.
There's a lot.
So today, I'm going to discuss great reasons for you to try solo anal.
myths around anal that I'm going to bust, plus how to get started, including tools and supplies for
anal that are a must. All right, everyone, let's get into it. Reasons to try solo anal. No matter what set
of genitals you have, there's so much pleasure to be had by adding anal to the menu. So for penis
owners, you've got a prostate gland. It's a walnut-shaped gland located about two inches inside
the rectum and stimulate it can feel amazing and even lead to a prostate orgasm. Now, you can think
of a prostate orgasm as similar to a G-spot orgasm for Volvo owners. It's internal, it's super intense,
it's very deep, and gives you more of a full-body orgasm. And here's a fun fact. You don't even
need to be erect to stimulate your prostate or even to orgasm. And it helps with erections too.
So if you're not erect, you know, you might want to stimulate your prostate and see if you get erect.
So there's lots of ways to play.
You can also pair prostate massage with your regular masturbation routine for the holy grail of pleasure, a blended orgasm.
And I've got a fun article on my site that talks about blended orgasms, double the O, double the pleasure, how to have blended and multiple orgasms.
You can totally check that out if you're curious and we will link it in the show notes.
And for Volvo owners, here's the deal.
An anal orgasm is a climax achieved by stimulation of high density nerve spots in the anus.
Plus, there are shared nerves that go from the anterior wall of the rectum to the vagina.
And some people say that the clitoral legs even extend all the way back into the anus.
This is a call for more research on the vagina and on anal sex.
So for vulva owners, it may be possible to have an orgasm from anal play, even though they don't have a prostate.
Again, the anus alone is packed with nerve writings, including the pudendal nerve, which is a major pleasure-filled nerve in the pelvic area,
and carries sensation to your vagina, your labia, your clitoris.
So stimulation of this nerve-viting during anal sex or any kind of anal play stimulates these nearby
rodentosomes and might just help you reach orgasm.
But it's not all about orgasm.
It's also about pleasure and exploration and just being open to seeing what else feels good
on my body.
Oh, and by the way, something else cool, inserting an anal plug, or a butt plug, as we call it,
like the B-Vive vibrating jewel plug.
and it's really cool and beautiful. It changes the angle of your vagina. So a little bit of anatomy,
the vagina is a muscular tube leading from the labia to the cervix. Tissues in the labia and the
vagina lose collagen over time, which causes the vaginal angle to flatten and become less steep.
Now, why does this matter? Well, a flatter vaginal angle can mean less friction against the front wall
of the vagina during intercourse. And that's the key because that's where your G-spot is,
or your G area. And it can also mean that there's less contact with the clitoris during intercourse.
So putting in an anal plug during intercourse or masturbation can be so helpful. And essentially,
it allows you to reach more of the hot spots that are going to make you feel so good.
But even if you're young and none of the tissue loss applies just yet, having an anal plug
in while you masturbate wakes up more sexual nerve endings. It gives you the power to have deeper,
more intense orgasms.
So what I'm talking about here is options, right?
Trying out different areas and see what feels good.
And if you're masturbating and you just want a quick clitoral orgasm, that's fantastic.
But if you want to experiment, an anal orgasm feels like pleasurable contractions around your sphincter.
And if you pair that sensation with a clitoral orgasm, wow.
Now you'll be feeling something totally different.
So now you see, getting comfortable with anal penetration is all.
kinds of pleasurable benefits. But honestly, there's one more huge benefit in my eyes,
and that is body acceptance. Now, I talk about this a lot in my book, Smart Sex, the power of
self-acceptance. It really is powerful because there is so much shame associated with our anuses.
Now, we made jokes about it and people think it's gross, or people say, oh, God, anal's the one
thing I'll never do, or I can't believe people do anal. So when you try anal on your own, you're giving
yourself the opportunity to associate this region with something totally new, and that's pleasure.
That's what I think is one of the most powerful aspects of anal play. It teaches you that this too
is worthy of self-love. This part of your body, of all parts, can bring you so much pleasure.
So if you can get comfortable giving yourself pleasure via something laden with so much shame,
well, that's liberation. All right, those are all great reasons you might want to try solo anal.
Now, I'm busting anal myths and giving you all practical tips to exploring anal play on your own.
All right, the first myth I want to address is this.
If you're a penis owner and you want to try anal penetration or anal play, it means something about your sexuality.
Listen, your sexuality is based on so much more than enjoying one specific physical sensation.
Let's say you like vegetables.
Does that automatically make you a vegan?
No, it's just someone who likes a good salad.
Not to reduce your sexuality to a salad, but let's just say this. The kind of people you want to
sleep with, now that defines your sexuality. But where you want to be penetrated and where it
feels good to be touched has nothing to do with defining your sexuality. Okay? And remember this.
All sexualities are valid and beautiful and go far beyond certain sex acts. But because I get questions
about this one all the time, I just want to say once and for all, if you're trying anal for the
first time and are worried this will somehow change your sexuality, it won't. You can be a guy
who likes anal penetration and still be fundamentally into women. Full stop. And remember, this goes for
yourself and for your partner. I know a lot of this can be confusing. Maybe you are a Volvo
owner sleeping with a penis owner and you might have some judgments around this as well. So there's just a
lot of realize about shame and all these areas. And a lot of us, it's not just society. Sometimes we
shame our partners and we don't realize we're doing it. So just take a moment here and be conscious
that when your partner is revealing something to you or want to try something new and we want
to celebrate what they're into, don't jump on the shame train. There's enough shame as it is,
all right? The second myth I see is that anal is a casual thing to ask for during sex. Hey,
you down for anal? It's not. That's why I'm doing a whole episode on solo anal play. Now listen,
certain porn may give you the impression that anal is just another sex act on the menu. They
make it look so easy in porn, right? They're just like, oh my God, are they having anal? How'd they do that?
But let's be clear about this. I am pro-anel play if it calls to you, and it's not something you can
just roll over and do without any preparation. There's literal muscle training involved with your sphincter.
So if you're ever in a casual sex context with a new person, please know that asking for
anal right off the bat probably isn't the best move. What you can do, and what I encourage you to do,
is plant a seed and ask if they'd ever be down to explore that sometime. Are you?
Are they into anal play?
What are their thoughts on it?
Make it consensual and make it respectful as always.
And for the receivers, we don't want any charity anal out there, right?
Don't just give it up because you're like, well, you know, they ask nicely or I might as well do it.
No.
Listen, both people have to be on board.
Both have to get something out of it.
I remember if you have a penis, please be careful about where you're putting it in.
Oops, wrong hole and just slipping it in is not consensual.
It's not cool.
it's just no way to go about handling this. Okay? So let's all breathe, go slow, ask for consent. And use
lube. Always use loop. We'll get into that too. For a lot of Volvo owners, the other reason why they might
not be into anal play is because they had a really bad first time experience, meaning it got slipped in
by a mistake, there was no consent, they just said yes, there was no loop, they were really drunk.
I hear these stories all the time. So what I'm inviting you to do in this episode is to re-examine
your relationship to your anus and see if with consent and with information, it might be something
you'd be willing to try under better conditions. The final myth I see is something along the lines of
it's just not my thing and never will be. Okay, heard, I see you. Maybe the sex act isn't for you.
I get it. But I'm listing it as a myth because I think a lot of people feel this way until they try it.
So if you're skeptical, I encourage you to explore once on your own. And at the very least,
you'll be able to make an informed decision, and you're going one step further toward body acceptance.
All right, don't knock until you try it once.
Speaking of exploration, all right, let's get into it.
How do we do it?
How to do solo anal play?
What is it?
Okay, the first thing I want to touch on is the concept of anal training.
Just like you wouldn't pop right into the splits without stretching your hamstrings first,
the same applies to your sphincter muscles.
So you want to get used to the feelings of the sensation of having something inside.
you. So while you're masturbating and you're already getting yourself off, then you want to take
a very clean hand, maybe have some wipes by the bed, trimmed fingernails, and lots of lobe,
and slowly stick a finger inside you. It can be a pinky or a pointer finger and feel what it's like
inside your own anus. How does it feel to have something inside of you? Move your finger around.
You can even just take some lobe and rub around your sphincter muscles before you go inside just to warm it up.
In fact, that's what I recommend for all anal play is starting on the outside, maybe massaging your butt cheeks and then just, you know, moving inside slowly, starting with the anus and then you put a finger inside slowly and see how that feels.
What does it feel like to have something inside of you?
You can experiment with two fingers and then you know, are you into it, are you not?
So you can use your fingers, but I highly recommend you look into an anal training kit of different size plugs like the B-Vive anal training kit.
What it does is it gradually toned your sphincter muscles little by little.
No, you're not going to stretch out your rectum for good.
What you are doing is inserting a very small plug, just getting used to it.
And when you're ready, inserting a slightly larger plug.
I mean, that's a deal with anal training kits.
You're slowly increasing the pliability of your sphincter muscles a tiny bit at a time.
And what I love about this B-Vib anal training kit is it comes with a great guide on anal sex.
It comes with an enema and a lube shooter, which is,
so cool because you know you always need lube for any anal play. So basically you put
lube in it and you shoot it up into your anus. It's very cool. It's a fun party trick,
even if it's a party of one. And remember, I want you to give yourself time with this process,
especially if you're brand new to anal. It can take weeks to work up to an averaged tildo
or a prostate massager. Don't forget it. And remember, there's also the psychological aspect.
Anal training isn't just for your muscles. It's also for your mind. You are basically reassociated,
your brain with your butt and learning that insertion can feel really, really good.
So that's how everyone can start with their solo anal journey.
I'm going to break the rest of my recommendations down by genitals, okay?
So while there are many toys that work for all, some might be more appealing to you based
on your anatomy.
Let's talk to penis owners first.
For beginners, I suggest non-vibrating prostate massagers.
And for many, this is a more accessible option at first, because vibes might be so
stimulating because you've never tried it before and sometimes it's too stimulating. But these are
nice because the insertion arm is long enough to reach your prostate gland and it fits in pretty
easily, you'll see it sort of is shaped just like your prostate. When you get a reminder is located
about two inches inside your rectum. And remember this? The anus is not self-lubricating. So use lots and
lots of lube. Always looked for a flared base with your prostate massager and truly, truly with all
anal toys. We don't want to lose any anal toys inside of our rectum's team. You don't want to end up
with the ER. We don't want that for you. The next step is a vibrating prostate massager because once you
get comfortable with insertion, move on to some vibration and see how you like it. Now,
these are going to stimulate pleasurable nerve readings in your anus that are more internal.
But the vibes are also going to feel incredible on your prostate gland. We will be right back after
quick message from our sponsors, but first, I got to tell you about Lalo. I think it's really important
to have different options when it comes to your relaxation and your pleasure.
So I've been testing out the Laylo switch and it's amazing.
Now, if you don't know Laylo, they're a luxury wellness brand known for sleek design and
products that feel intentional and high quality.
And the switch from Laylo is just so great because it's basically two experiences in one.
So one end works like a classic wand for external massage and the other side is curved internal
stimulation.
So you can literally switch depending on what your body feels like that day.
It's made from super soft silicone, fully waterproof, and connects to the Laylo app.
So you can customize patterns or even share control with a partner, which is really fun.
I just love how it encourages exploration.
You're not locked into one sensation.
You can move slowly, try different things and just figure out what helps your body relax and respond best.
If you want to check it out, head to laylo.com or click the link in the show notes to use code SWE20 for a stackable 20% off your order.
That's Laylo.com use code SWE20.
And once you love that, you can move up to a vibrating prostate massager that also vibrates the perineum, that nerve-ending rich area between your penis and your anus.
You can almost think of it like a rabbit vibe for penis owners.
And for this, I recommend the Loki Wave prostate massager vibrator by Lalo.
It's so cool.
It really does look like a rabbit vibe, but you're literally stimulating the prostate and the perineum.
It is such a cool product.
Okay, at this point, you might be wondering, what's up with the prostate gland?
Why is Emily so hot for me to stimulate it?
Why is she talking about this so much?
Well, it is packed with thousands of nerve readings for one, but also the prostate
helps propel semen from the penis because it's a muscular gland.
It produces the seminal fluid found in ejaculate.
So, prostate massage also has legitimate health benefits, namely preventing or relieving
prostate inflammation.
So go for the health angle.
Whatever makes you feel good about trying it.
Okay, Volvo Owners.
And I mentioned anal training kits for everyone.
So explore with your fingers and or you can start with just a basic anal plug.
This will help you get used to the feeling of insertion.
But Volvo owners, once you're ready to try vibration, you don't necessarily need the length
of a prostate massage.
That's one toy that is specifically for people with a prostate.
But after you get comfortable with an anal plug, you know, you might want to step it up for
intermediates. Maybe you already like anal sex altogether. Try a vibrating anal plug. You could also
look for butt plugs in a small petite size if the idea of anal vibration excites you. There are many
to choose from. I'm just going to keep saying this. You have to use a ton of lube. Keep reapplying it,
no matter what toy you're using. The anus is not self-lubricating and we don't want to have tears,
so we got to add a lot of lube. So silicon lube is great for penetrative sex with a partner. We've
got some great options from Pure on our site. I do recommend silicone loop for anal play,
but the challenge is they don't recommend that you use silicone loop with toys. Okay? They say the
silicone loop can break down silicone toys. I've been using silicone loop with toys for a long time
and I just really wipe them down and I haven't noticed any change in my toys. But I just want to
let you know what the manufacturers recommend is that if you're using toys, stick with water
base loop. So basically what you're doing here is you're stimulating your pudental nerve region,
which connects to both your genitals and your anus. So on that note, Volvo owners, let's talk about
your most advanced solo anal step. Ready? When you're masturbating, you can use a vibrating butt plug
along with your regular sex toy. Now, this could be the vibrator you typically use on your clitoris
or if you use an insertion toy. And what I want you to feel for as your clitorial orgasm comes on is
what you feel happening in your anus. You might feel contractions in your sphincter of muscles
as your clitoral orgasm happens. But no pressure, you're going to take your time with this,
because this is all exploration. So don't make this a goal per se. I'm just kind of pointing out
some things to look for here, clitoral orgasm and anal orgasm at the same time, or contractions
in your sphincter muscles and your clitoris might happen, and that could feel amazing. But at the end of the
day, what we're talking about is stimulating different regions of your pelvic floor via your
genitals or your anus. Okay, so now you've got some really fun reasons to try solo anal.
We busted myths. You've got practical tools and tips for trying it out. But let's take a short
break and we come back. I'm going to answer all of your anal questions.

This is from Anne 58 in Los Angeles. Hey, Dr. Amelie, my partner has asked me several times now if I've
tried anal penetration with toys. I have by myself and I cannot get my arms around to my back
end. Do other women do this by themselves? I can see me flopping around like a fish
trying to insert an anal plug. It doesn't seem sexy to me. Help.
And okay, let me help you out here. Have you tried not reaching around but going up between your legs
with the plug and maybe like having a mirror nearby so you can see yourself inserting it and make
sure you're getting into the right spot? However, I know this show is all about, you know,
solo anal play, but sounds like your partner really is into you trying anal penetration. So maybe
you could let him know that you have a toy and you want to try it out. Would he be willing to
have the pleasure and the honor of doing it for you? You can ask him that and say,
I've had one, I've played around with it a little bit, but I'd love for you to insert it and
let's play together and see how that goes. You know, if you're unable to do it yourself,
just make sure that you're going slow, that you're breathing, you're using lots of loob,
and you guys are very close and you're checking in with each other. Maybe you're making eye
contact and you're letting him know how it feels as he's gently inserting it inside of you,
okay? So partnering to play is fun too. Go slow, breathe, use lots of loob and communicate.
This is from Kelly 56 in Seattle.
Hey Dr. Emily, my wife and I have been happily married for 29 years.
Our sex life is great, but I'm looking to try some new things.
Over the last year, we've started using toys, awesome, and are having more open discussions.
In my solo time, I started exploring my own ass.
I couldn't believe how good it felt.
I bought a prostate massager and now wanted to share that experience with her.
How do I do that?
All right, well, I love that you are exploring on your own, Kelly, and I can't wait for you to share this with your wife.
Now, remember what we talked about in this show that a lot of people do have ideas around anal that aren't necessarily accurate or true.
There's some shame and some stigma.
So following my timing turf and tone, outside the bedroom, when you're on date night and into good place,
you can just start to have a general conversation with your wife about your sex life.
Talk about, you know, the things that you love about it and say, I'm wondering, is there anything new you've been wanting to try?
And then you can ask, like, would you be open to playing with toys? See what she says. And then you can explain to her that you've been trying it on your own with a prostate massager and it feels really, really great. And you'd love to share the experience with her. Felt really great to you. Would she be down? And then see how it goes. Now remember, when you prepare for the fact that she might have some concern, she might not understand it. The anus is dirty. What does that mean? Does that be that you want to be with men? You know, people have a lot of misunderstandings about this. So I just suggest you listen to the show together.
Maybe you could rewind to the top of the show and play it for her. I want to remind everybody that a lot of couples listen to this show together and then they find it as a great jumping off place to talk about their own sex life. So I highly recommend listening to Sex Emily with your partner. But anyway, Kelly, that's what I recommend you do. I know you've been together for 29 years and I don't want you to have to be in the dark with something that makes you feel good. So start having the conversations with her and let me know how it goes. This is from Josh 32 in Texas. Hey, Dr. Emily, long time listener. About six months.
ago, my girlfriend and I did your yes, no, maybe list, which by the way, you can all download for free
on our website. Anal was a maybe on both of ours. Since then, every few weeks or so, we discuss it.
We started out with anal rimming, which, by the way, is licking, kissing, sucking the anus for pleasure,
and she seems to really enjoy that. A few months later, she tried her first butt plug by herself.
Other than that, we have just done things around the anus. We have read your dues and don'ts
list and the easing into anal blog, but she still seems to be extremely worried about a mess.
in regards to any penetration and what prep she needs to do.
I've reassured her that a mess is okay if it does happen.
I've even said that we don't have to try it, but she keeps saying she does,
she's just unsure on what prep needs to be done and worried about a mess.
What else can I do to help her mentally prepare or ease her mind?
I'm glad we're talking about this, Josh, because this is also one of the big concerns
of what's keeping people from having anal.
So here's how prep goes.
First, I highly recommend that everyone's nails are trim and their hands are clean.
As far as, you know, having a mess, her going to the bathroom,
them all over the place. There's a lot of things you can do. First off, I think we all know
when our bowels are full, when our bowels are empty, and we're all a pretty good gauge of
bowel cycle, right? And so, I mean, if you went out for a huge dinner and you had a lot of
beans and rice and then you try, you know, like, that wouldn't be the night. But if you know that
you've had a regular bowel during the day, you should be fine. However, a lot of people's mind
are put to ease when they do an enema. So you can go to the store and buy an enema. And usually,
sometimes it comes with vinegar inside, and I recommend that you empty that out and fill it with
warm water to use the enema. You put it inside you about an hour or two before, and that should
empty everything out so she feels even more confident. Keep some wipes by the bed. You can throw
play drop down in your bed, which is basically a sex mat that is waterproof. It absorbs liquids.
You can just throw it in the wash after and you don't have to worry about any mess at all. Okay,
