Anal beads are a good toy for creating a new sensation. Many anal beginners use butt plugs or fingers or other anal safe toys to prep the body for a larger insertion; sometimes a bigger plug for that ‘full’ feeling. Anal beads are inserted one by one with lubricant and then pulled out to create a “popping” sensation.
They can be pulled out as slow as you’d like, but never pull them out very fast.
Never buy anal beads with string. They can break, and are not body safe – we have come a very long way from bacteria collecting disgusting cheap toys. Try something fully silicone so you can disinfect it, like the Flexi Felix depicted above. It’s silicone is soft to squeeze but firm to stand up to the pulling.
Lube them up and slide them over your partner’s asshole first, warm up the area, insert them one at a time, teasing, and checking in to make sure they want more. Touch a vibe to the beads, and the surrounding genital area. Have fun with them.
You have two anal sphincters, the outter ring of muscles YOU can control. The inner ring of muscles your body controls. Your asshole is very sensitive, it has many nerve endings, and it is easily tared if you don’t take proper warm up precautions. Around the asshole and gouch is erectile tissue that engorges when you are turned on making it even more sensitive.
This is part of the allure of anal play.
Some say it feels “taboo” or “dirty” or “forbidden” … others are excited because they feel anal is more intense for them.
Anal beads slipping in give a different sensation than pulling them out (preferably during plateau/orgasm). They bunch inside of your body and rub sensitive tissues (they could even rub a man’s prostate).
As with any anal play, make sure you do some cleaning prep. Keep your nails short, use a sufficient amount of lubricant and have patience. Anal play shouldn’t hurt at all, and if it does, you are doing something wrong.
