Anal sex can be very fun and pleasurable as there are numerous nerve endings in this area. Oftentimes we forget that “sex” includes more than penetration. Though there is no need to necessarily start with vagina-penis intercourse, I’m curious if you already have done so? Considering you are both virgins, I want you to keep in mind that anal sex for the first time may be tricky to navigate—just as vaginal sex may be for the first time. Unlike the vagina, the anal cavity does not have the same capability for lubrication and expansion. As such, lubrication is an absolute must.
If you are both free of sexually transmitted diseases, ejaculation inside the anus is safe. However, condoms are an excellent addition. They can help prevent potential tearing of the anus. Some couples report that a condom makes the experience feel cleaner. If you plan to transition back and forth from anal penetration to vaginal penetration, condoms are essential. Make sure to use fresh condoms to avoid drawing unwanted bacteria into either cavity, and use a water-based lube to maintain the integrity of the latex.
Additional anal activities can consist of rimming or tongue play, stroking or inserting a finger, and/or using an anal (butt) plug, dildo, or vibrator inside or against the anus. These are all safe and potentially pleasurable sources of play. Just make sure to keep all penetrative objects clean.
Most importantly, maintain your prior goal of pleasure, with accompanying objectives to keep it slow and sensuous.
