Most of us have a hard time thinking of anal sex in lesbian relationships. Most of us would just as well leave it to the gay men. But just as not all gay men enjoy anal sex, not all women dislike it! The truth is that, when it’s done right and with a calm and trusting partner, anal sex can actually be fun. Don’t expect to get it right away, but trust me – you’ll know once you’ve got the hang of it, and you’ll thank me.

1. It’s important to mix things up.

Most of us are always looking for something new to add into our routine, but not everyone is willing to give anal a shot. They may have heard that it’s going to hurt, or they think it’s gross, but they’re forgetting that most things don’t just come naturally. It’s something that seems completely different, but just like every other sexual experience, eventually it’s not new and different anymore.

2. Because you don’t know if you like it until you try it.

You can speculate about your desires all you want, but the old saying really is the best way to go: Don’t knock it ‘till you try it. Most likely, you weren’t sure you’d enjoy having sex with a woman in the first place, and yet here we are! After trying it, you might decide you don’t like it after all, and that’s okay, too. Just keep in mind that there are a number of factors involved in enjoying your experience – if any of these are out of whack, it can ruin the whole mood.

3. It can be something special.

If neither you or your partner has played around in that area before, it’s uncharted territory. You get to be the first person there, and that’s pretty magical. Of course, you’ll need to practice a little bit before you figure out how it works best for you, but it’s something you get to explore together.

4. Because, when done right, it feels really good.

For those who are willing to put in the time and effort to learn how to have good anal sex, it can actually feel really good. The anus is full of very sensitive tissues, which can intensify the sensations sent by other sexual activities. Most women aren’t able to climax from anal sex alone, but if you stimulate this area while performing other favors for her, too, she’s almost certain to have the strongest orgasm of her life.

5. It’s cleaner than period sex.

Okay, so this is a very general statement. There are ways to keep period sex from being messy, just as there is a chance that anal play can become messy – but if you exercise the proper steps beforehand, this activity can easily give you a non-vaginal way to please your partner when she’s on her period. (As an added bonus, some women are especially responsive to anal play while they’re on their period, which can definitely make things fun.)
