If you're feeling a bit of discomfort when you experiment with anal sex or anal toys, you'll need anal lubes to make everything go "smoothly." Anal lubes are sexual lubricants that work best for anal sex. Anal sex has "special" needs when it comes to anal lubes. This is because the anus does not lubricate when stimulated, unlike the vagina or penis. Anal lubes are necessary for comfortable and enjoyable anal sex.

Guide to anal lubes

Technically, you can use any kind of sexual lubricant as anal lubes. However, there are those that are inherently better anal lubes than others.

For instance, a popular kind of anal lubes is the water-based ones. Water-based anal lubes are good lubricants and are chemically safe. Also, these lubes are okay to use on any kind of condom or sex toy. However, the downside to using water-based anal lubes is that water gets absorbed by the skin. Hence, when used in anal sex, water-based anal lubes don't last as long. After a few pumps, you might need to pull out your sex toy, penis, or fingers to reapply water-based anal lubes.

There are also oil-based anal lubes. These oil-based anal lubes are better for anal sex because they are thicker and last longer. You even have to wash off thoroughly to get these out. The downside is that these oil-based anal lubes can cause allergic reactions in some people. Likewise, they may cause tiny tears on certain condom materials.

Another option is those silicone-based anal lubes. These anal lubes are also thick and longer-lasting than water-based ones. However, these shouldn't be used with silicone sex toys. Silicone rubbing silicone will disintegrate the sex toy.

There are anal-specific lubes that offer to lessen sensation in the anus. These anal lubes may contain benzocaine, which numbs that contact area. However, there are several criticisms to this kind of anal lubes. First of all, many say that you get into anal sex to feel anal sex, and not numb yourself from it. Likewise, there is an unnatural feel in desensitizing sex organs. This may numb you the wrong way, such that you won't feel tears and abrasions in your anus.

There is another kind of anal-specific lube. These anal lubes are specially-packed for easy anal application. They do not contain any numbing agents. There are also specialty anal lubes. Examples of these are those anal lubes that heat up the skin on contact. There are also those formulated to constrict blood flow in the penis, resulting in a bigger erection.
