What Is Anal Fingering?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Anal fingering is exactly what it sounds like- it involves inserting a finger or fingers into the anus for sexual pleasure. Both partners, regardless of their gender or sexual orientation, can (and totally should!) enjoy anal fingering. You can finger each other during anal foreplay or as a build up to anal sex, or it can even be done as part of solo anal play<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Why Do People Love Anal Fingering?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Everyone is blessed with countless erotic nerve endings at the anal opening and inside the anus. And stimulating them with your fingers can often provide incredible sensations. Penis-owners will usually find anal fingering particularly pleasurable because it can lead to prostate orgasms<\/a><\/strong> a.k.a. P-spot orgasms, which is equivalent to the vulva-owner’s G-spot orgasm<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

How Can I Convince My Partner to Try Anal Fingering?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Consent is important and the best way to get started is by having an anal sex talk<\/a><\/strong> (oh yes, it’s a thing, especially if they ask if anal fingering is safe?).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t ever surprise them with anal fingering, even if you know they enjoy it! This could make them tighten up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your partner says yes, you still want to take it nice and slow. Contrary to what you may have seen in porn, you don’t want to just stick your finger in. There are plenty of pleasurable and more effective ways (keep reading) to do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Is the Best Lube for Anal Fingering?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Now the first thing you need to know is that unlike vaginas, the butt doesn’t self-lubricate. It needs help getting wet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try something as simple as coconut oil. It\u2019s versatile, easy to find, and it\u2019s perfect for anal fingering \u2014 We personally love this Coconut Love Oil<\/a><\/strong> by Le Wand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get some lubricant on your finger, all the way down to the base before you begin to penetrate.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep your bottle of lube nearby for when you need some more. And make sure they\u2019re taking slow, deep breaths because that helps the muscles relax. Do it with them to encourage them. <\/span>You’re all set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are There Any Hygiene Tips for First Time Anal Fingering?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

If you’re concerned about hygiene, we recommend that you read our complete guide on <\/span>how to prep for anal<\/span><\/strong><\/a> first. Having said that, anal hygiene is<\/span> easy and basically comes down to common sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wash your anal area and hands with regular soap- you can also use an small bulb enema<\/a><\/strong> if you’re looking to get your insides squeaky clean. Because anal fingering is all about pleasure, make sure your fingernails are nice and short. Consider a manicure and file any sharp edges that could cause tears in the anus. Some seasoned anal players have a DF (designated finger) with a shorter nail that they use for safer penetration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re reluctant to cut your nails, you can use “nitrile finger cots<\/a><\/strong>“. You can also insert a cotton ball inside the finger cot or glove for added protection. And remember we recommended coconut oil as anal lube<\/a><\/strong> earlier? Well, coconut oil is a natural oil which means that it can damage and break latex gloves. It\u2019s best to use coconut oil when you are in a monogamous relationship and don\u2019t have to worry about STIs.<\/p>\n\n\n
