It's not supposed to hurt, so if it does, you're going too fast, or not using enough lube, or not warming up properly. So no, done right, anal play does not hurt.

NO! If you go slow and use lube it is very fun and completely painless

Agree with the other two posters. Start slow and small and work you're way up.

my gf says they dont hurt if you go slow

agreed with the above posts

When done properly, anal play doesn't hurt, although it can feel a bit odd at first while you get used to the sensations.

In order to do anal play properly you need to play slowly (at least in the beginning), use lots of lube, have lots of foreplay, and know and respect your and your partner's limits.
