The Best Lube For Anal

Share

Getting the best lube for anal is crucial to your anal sex experience.

The idea of anal sex can be intimidating for any first-timer. However, once you make up your mind and prepare yourself physically, the very same idea seems hot and exquisite.

If you ask for expert tips on the topic from people who have done it, they will tell you different things based on their experience.

They will tell you that, psychologically, how difficult it was for the first time, but they will also tell you how amazing it feels, and how beautiful the orgasm was.

Although, one thing that they might miss to mention is the pain that anal sex comes with if you aren’t using a lubricant. In fact, as per a study, an average American is afraid of anal sex because they think that it is going to be very painful.

However, the truth is – it’s only painful if you aren’t using the right quantity of lubricant during anal sex.

Can you use the same lube that you use during regular intercourse?

It totally depends on the type of lubricant you own, and the quantity of it. It also depends on the size of your anal cavity and your experience with anal sex.

For most people, the lubricants intended for vaginal intercourse is not enough. This is due to the fact that these lubricants are made to remove the initial friction during sex.

After a while, the dick and the pussy produce lubrication on their own, thus reducing the need to have a lubricant. However, this is not the case with the anus.

The anal cavity does not have the natural ability to generate lubrication like a vagina.

Therefore, it requires an excessive supply of specialized lubricants that can last long and stand the right amount of to-and-fro motion.

Which is the best lube for anal sex?

Whether we are talking dick action or not, anal play will only be ‘fun’ if it doesn’t get painful.

Therefore, it is always recommended to invest in lubes that are specially formulated for the anal region.

These lubes have higher stability, allow more significant friction reduction, and are anal skin-safe. Here are 4 anal lubricants that we recommend.
