Anal Play is not anal sex! Some people mistake this as the same thing but receiving or giving anal play is about stimulating the nerves around the anus, playing and teasing the bum hole.
This can be done with fingers, toys and tongue. You may slightly entre the bum hole, however, it is only slightly and does not involve full penetration.
Receiving anal play can be incredibly pleasurable as our anus is made up of thousands of little nerves that will react to touch and pressure, giving your partner an even bigger climax. It is good to play with the anus while having sex in the doggy positions. This can be with your finger or a small vibrator, a bullet is a perfect size. This will take your partner to pure extasy and can work for both males and females.
For slightly harder play you may wish to use slightly bigger toys, like a wand or butt plug. This should be done with great care, as it will be stretching the anus, you should also use a lot of lube and it is important to make sure the area is relaxed and both parties are fully comfortable with the act, so that it can be enjoyed by both of you.
If you are the receiver always make sure you clean the area first, you want to ensure you are freshly showered for your partner.
