Your lover has cummed inside your vagina. What do you do?

O Gee
Has anyone seen the O Gee? Kind of a knock-off We-Vibe, I guess. It's intriguing because the shape of it looks better suited to my anatomy in the way...

I'm sure it does, but you have to be VERY careful with it.

Pain is your body's way of saying "cacao" (Portlandia reference) or "stop". If you can't feel what's going on, you could be in trouble.

My partner and I considered it, but decided against it for the very reason JR says. I didn't want to do myself any damage because I couldn't tell whether or not we were moving to fast.

Like JR and ShadowedSeductress said, don't use it, please don't.

I think it does work, but for that reason, it's not recommended. Since the anal canal is much more delicate than other orifices, if you're not aware of any pain or discomfort it's difficult to tell if you're being harmed by anal play that is too vigorous or by toys/body parts that are too large for your experience level.

My suggestion is a good anal lube and using small toys (or fingers) to increase your comfort level and familiarity with anal play, before jumping in with something that could hurt you if you're not prepared for the size.

You should be aware of any pain during anal sex. If it hurts, it's not being done properly.

Proper preparation (My Man and I trained me for more than a month before we actually attempted anal-penile sex) a good lube, an orgasm first, and a healthy attitude towards anal sex are necessary for me to enjoy it.

Numbing the area could result in damage that you don't feel until it's too late. Plus, when done well, it feels great!

Why would you want to numb a really pleasant and exciting sensation? To me, that would be like numbing the vagina and G Spot before PIV or numbing the clitoris before receiving oral sex. If you're not enjoying it, why DO it?
