Without relaxing those muscles, getting anything inside can cause discomfort. Those are some pretty tight quarters back there because the muscles in the anus are meant to be closed tight to keep things in.
If you’re not relaxed, that can be another cause of pain. Without enough lubrication, the friction created by dry penetration is painful and can even cause tiny tears in the delicate skin of the anus. Unlike a vagina, which gets wet in preparation for penetration, the anus doesn’t. Why does it sometimes hurt?įor starters, the natural lack of lubrication.
It’s your first foray into butt play, so of course you’ve got questions.
