Posterior lovemaking certainly isn’t for everyone, but some men and women can’t get enough. For the beginner, the practice may be a bit intimidating, but partners can educate themselves about the ins and outs of posterior play to make the activity as pleasurable and safe as possible. Practicing proper rear, female organ and manhood care before, during and after posterior lovemaking is crucial, and the following information will help couples learn how to do so.

Why the Behind?

Posterior lovemaking may be appealing to both men and women for several reasons. Men may want to penetrate a posterior because it is tighter than a female organ. They may also enjoy the somewhat taboo nature of the act.

Women may enjoy rear penetration for a couple reasons. First, the nerve ending around the rear hole are very sensitive and some find penetration stimulating. Second, there are sensitive areas between a woman’s rectum and female organ that may create pleasure when pressure within the rectum is placed upon them.

Some men enjoy being penetrated in the behind, and not just gay men. The prostate gland is stimulated during posterior play for a man, and this can be highly enjoyable. Plus, his posterior nerve endings are just as sensitive as hers.

Is it Safe?

Posterior lovemaking can be safe, but special precautions are required. This is primarily because the risk of spreading infections, both female organ and socially-transmitted, are high with posterior play.

The transmission rates of human immunodeficiency virrus and HPV are higher for posterior lovemaking than female organ lovemaking. That’s because the rear hole and rectum are not naturally lubricated, so, even when a product is used for extra lubrication, tears in and around the rear hole are likely to occur. Broken skin gives viruses easy access to the body.

Women are more prone to female organ infections when posterior lovemaking is involved in playtime because the rectum is full of bacteria, since its primary function is to store feces. If a male organ or toy that has been in her rectum is inserted into the female organ without being very thoroughly cleaned or without a rubber change, she is prone to developing an infection.

Another potential complication of regular posterior lovemaking is the loosening of the posterior sphincter. This muscle allows a person to hold feces in until the appropriate time to release. If it weakens, one’s ability to “hold it” weakens, too.

Though rare, ample bleeding after posterior lovemaking could indicate a hole in the colon, which requires an immediate trip to the hospital.

Steps to Take

1) Lube, lube, lube.

2) Wash the posterior area before and after lovemaking.

3) Wear a rubber.

4) Only use water-based lubricant if latex rubbers are used.

5) Relax – the receiving partner will incur fewer posterior tears if he or she is relaxed upon insertion.

6) Change the rubber and wash the male organ before entering any other orifice.

7) Know your partner’s lovemaking history and infection testing status.

8) If on the receiving end, perform posterior Kegel exercises to maintain sphincter muscle tone.

Taking care of the rear hole, female organ and male organ is essential to safe and pleasurable posterior lovemaking. Another thing men can do to look out for their male organs, along with practicing proper hygiene, is to use a male organ health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil) to promote good skin condition, ample circulation and nerve function. Applying such a product after showering can keep the male organ pleasant to the eye and touch. A crème with a combination of natural moisturizers such as Shea butter and vitamin E is ideal for tag-teaming dry skin, both providing and sealing in moisture.
