Sneak Peek: What You’re Really Wondering

How much prep are we talking about – like, hours of planning? Think weeks of fun exploration rather than cramming for a test. The prep becomes part of the foreplay when you approach it right.

Will it hurt, and please don’t give me some bullshit about “it shouldn’t hurt at all”? With proper prep, you’ll feel pressure and fullness but not pain. If something actually hurts, your body’s telling you to slow down or adjust.

How do I bring this up without my partner thinking I’m secretly into weird stuff? Anal isn’t weird – it’s anatomy. Start with “I’ve been curious about trying…” and let them share their thoughts without pressure.

How do we know we’re being safe versus just winging it? Follow clean hygiene rules, use quality lube generously, communicate constantly, and trust your body’s signals over your ego.

What if we try it and it’s just… not our thing? Then you tried something new, learned about your preferences, and can cross it off the curiosity list without regret.
