In addition to relaxing the muscles of the anus, you also need to take care of the skin. The skin that covers the anal muscles is as sensitive as your lips (the ones on your face, for those folks with lips in other places). Think about how much sensation you have there and you\u2019ll understand why you need a lot of lube. If there\u2019s too much friction, the skin becomes irritated and sensitive, which makes things uncomfortable. Choosing a high-quality lubricant<\/a> can make all the difference at avoiding that.<\/p>\n

Lastly, the skin of the anus is meant to stretch when the muscles relax. But sometimes, the little folds can stick together. When you try to open up, you can get little tears, just like when your lips are dry and cracked. That can be very painful and it often puts an end to anal adventures. One easy way to deal with that is to apply coconut oil or a cocoa butter salve after washing. Do that for a few days and it\u2019ll probably help the skin heal. It\u2019s just like putting lip balm on in dry weather.<\/p>\n
