It's a different experience for sure. I'd say it's always good to try new things. Just relax, because at first there may be some slight discomfort if you're tensed up. Have your hubby put a finger in, to make the transition to his penis easier.. Also, *if you're engaging in anal and you decide you don't like it, don't go back to vaginal... You can get some raunchy infections this way. Have your man rinse off really quick.*

Have fun

the best thing that helped me not hurt during anal is warming up first by wearing a small or medium butt plug. it really helps to loosen things up first.

lots and lots of lube and going slow help too.

Mainly go slow and have lots of preparation and its a fun time.

Go slow, and use lots of lube. Warming up with a finger or two might help too. When in doubt, use more lube.

As a newbie myself I would suggest relax, play around back there first with a finger getting used to the sensation. When you feel comfortable with that, insert a finger always with plenty of lube, I finally bought anal lube because now I'm using glass. Feeling comfortable with my finger and wanting to try toys I researched on EF and Sexis and found an anal douche helps relieve some of that worry of a mess afterwards also making myself and my partner more comfortable with the idea. The douche bags and bulbs with attachments are sold here on EF and in local drug stores and are simple to use my partner and I treat each other to this quite frequently, another nice way to be intimate.

My first official anal plug was the Silicone Meteorite and while long it was thin and worked well with my regular water based lube. Always start with a small toy for your first one, there are plenty out here on EF to choose from. Today I graduated from the small glass Sexy Spades to the medium sized one. I'm so comfortable with it now the small ones just doesn't stay inserted long enough when I'm on my back.

Most of all, have fun!
