Anal Play
Anal play is a broad term for consensual stimulation involving the anus, ranging from external touch to penetration.
What is anal play?
Anal play describes a range of consensual activities involving the anus. It may mean external touch, the use of a toy or penetration. It does not refer to one fixed experience, and penetration is never required.
For some, the appeal is physical sensation; for others, it may also involve trust, vulnerability or a BDSM power dynamic. Because preferences and limits differ, everyone involved should discuss what they want, what is off-limits and how to pause or stop. Comfort, communication and hygiene matter throughout.
