Anal orgasms are a type of orgasm that occurs when stimulation is provided in the anus, rectum, butt cheeks, and even the prostate (if present) during sexual play. These sensations vary from person to person, but they can be incredibly pleasurable.
An orgasm may be achieved through penetration (with a penis or sex toy), fingering, and licking the anus and penis. These sensations can also be experienced when the anus is being massaged with lube or another object, such as a butt plug.
Plenty of lubrication
It’s a little tricky to get an anal orgasm because the anus is packed with nerve endings that can make sensations different for each individual. However, relaxation and plenty of lubrication are essential to achieving a pleasurable anal orgasm.
The first step to experiencing an orgasm from the anus is to get the body comfortable and relaxed with a variety of forms of foreplay, such as rimming, sex toys, or even just touching and kissing, says certified sex educator Alicia Sinclair, CEO of b-Vibe. She recommends starting with something gentle, like rimming or an external massage with one hand and lube, before moving on to more stimulating activities.
If you’re new to anal orgasm
If you’re new to anal orgasms, try playing with a vibrator around the anal opening to light up the area. This can be a great way to test out different types of stimulation before you try them with a partner.
You can find many sex toys that stimulate the anus, clit, and penis at once. These can help you find what works best for you and your partner, says Gonzalez. Some are internal/external, meaning they have a vibe that stimulates the anus or clit during penetration, and another that can be placed on the anus to create pleasure by stimulating the vulva or penis at the same time.
To get the most out of anal exploration, you should always have a partner who is also excited to explore butt stuff with you. This can help you decide what feels most exciting to you, and it will help your partner experience the same.
Some women prefer to use a penetrator, which is inserted through the anus, while others like to explore the rim with their fingers. It’s important to remember that the anus doesn’t self-lubricate, so it’s a good idea to use lube on both of you.
Depth of penetration
Depending on your comfort level with penetration, you may want to try having the receiver on top of you to give you more control over the position and depth of penetration. This will allow you to experiment with a wider range of movements and angles, and it’ll make it easier for you to provide additional stimulation on other erogenous zones at the same time.
Some people, like advertising executive Leila and Valerie, have never experienced an anal orgasm, but they are sure to enjoy it if they give it a try. They say that they feel their G spot “stimulating” through the walls of the anus, as well as feeling more intense and more pleasurable the deeper into the anus they penetrate. It’s a sensation they describe as “the most intense, strongest full-body orgasm ever.”
