How do you clean yourself before anal?

Contributor: socceras socceras
I am very self conscious and scared to do anal. I did it a long time ago but now I don't know how I am supposed to clean myself. I mean I am clean on the outside but sticking something in there just seems kinda gross. How do you make sure you are clean?

If I plan ahead for anal, I would eat a high fiber diet and no greasy foods a few days before, and then I would just bathe normally. Of course I will also use a wet wipe (like a baby wipe) right before, and then lube up well!

I've really never had issues with being clean because I'll try to prepare with the diet, but if I don't have time to prepare for it and it's a spur of the moment thing, I'm very careful about when I actually do it. I've turned down anal with my partner before, because I was concerned about the mess that could potentially happen, although he never really cares.

To start with get a feel for how your body works and when things generally kick in to action down there. Eat a good diet, and when you think you want to try some play slip a finger or a toy up there to see if things are clean - they probably will be.

If you want more assurance you can use a small warm-water enema or glycerin suppository to make sure things are clear, but I recommend checking first and skipping the enema/suppository if you don't need it. Never use an enema with chemicals in it.

Note that if you're not able to relax because of your fears then an enema may be a good idea to reassure you. Keep it small and only with warm water.

The rectum does not store "stuff", so most of the time there is little if anything in there. Like ScottA said, stick a lubed finger or toy in first and find out.

Unless you literally just went to the bathroom or really have to go.. I don't see this being a problem. The rectum doesn't hold on to gunk, nor do the intestines themselves really. The walls are self cleaning.

Generally I only play anal when I've gone to the bathroom fairly recently and know that I won't have to go again. It's just a mental thing for me, but I've never had something come out "dirty"

We've never really gotten into this yet, but it's also probably one of the biggest issues for us as well.

My first step is to take a BM. Then take a shower. I use my fingers to start, while in the shower. If there is anything it comes off in the shower. Then once I know I am clean and aroused. I get out and have fun. Enjoy your anal play!
