As you know your anus is not self lubricating, which means it’s more important than ever to make sure you’ve got good personal lubricant before starting. Anal sex and play without lube can not only be painful, it can also cause some bleeding afterward due to small anal tears in the sensitive anal canal tissue.

You should use plenty of lube everytime with anal sex and anal play.

Astroglide has several options with regard to anal sex.

Water based personal lubricant

Astroglide Liquid

Because they are water-based, Astroglide Liquid is easy to clean up (and to wash out of clothing or sheets). Of course, since pure water is about the most natural ingredient out there, these lubes can also be very gentle and soothing to your skin.

Astroglide's Liquid water-based lubes can be used with condoms without compromising their integrity (meaning they won’t cause condoms to rip or tear more easily). They can also be used with toys like butt plugs— even those made of silicone material.

Astroglide Gel

Astroglide Gel is very popular with the gay community as it stays put. Being a Gel it is not as runny as a liquid.

Silicone based personal lubricant

Astroglide X Premium Liquid

Silicone personal lubricants last longer than water based. Astroglide X Premium Liquid is very unique, has a silky feel that is soothing to the skin and leaves it feeling soft and smooth. Silicone is also hypoallergenic, so it’s a great choice for lube users with sensitive skin or allergies. Since these lubes contain mostly silicone instead of water, they often last longer and need to be reapplied less often.

Benefits For Women

A 2010 study published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine found that of the 31 percent of women surveyed who’d engaged in anal sex during their most recent sexual encounter, 94 percent had an orgasm.

For women anal sex can hit two hot spots: the G-spot and A-spot. Both are located along the vaginal wall but can be indirectly stimulated during anal. Like the prostate, these spots have the potential to produce full-body orgasms. Rubbing them just right may even lead to squirting and the phenom referred to as “ female ejaculation.” Yes, please!

Benefits For Men

Male anal sex can stimulate the prostate and lead to an orgasm. Prostate orgasms are intense enough to send waves of orgasmic pleasure from head to toe.

Even if you use lube, some tearing might still happen, depending on the amount you use, the size of whatever you’re putting in there, and the level of friction involved. Still, adding a ton of lube to the mix makes you less likely to tear and more likely to have fun.
