Does the anal lubricant actually work better than the regular?

If anal is not your thing, why are you doing it? When is it "necessary"? I am a huge fan of anal play, but NO WAY am I doing something I don't want to.

Odd question.

Anyway, in answer to it, YES, anal lube is thicker and I happen to like a VERY mildly desensitizing lube...but many here advise against it. Either way, many anal lubes are far slicker then what would make vaginal sex enjoyable. Thus, if you ARE going to do anal, a specialty, highly rated anal lube will almost certainly make the experience more "pleasant" as you state.

Good luck.
