All of us have sensitive nerve endings around the anus and rectum, and they can enjoy stimulation as much as other "erogenous zones." In fact, stimulation of the anus at the time of orgasm often results in a more intense orgasm. With lubricant and good communication, anal play can be very pleasurable. 
We recommend two books on the subject of anal eroticism, whether you're just starting out or want to explore further: Anal Pleasure & Health by Jack Morinand The Ultimate Guide to Anal Sex for Women by Tristan Taormino. Both include comprehensive information about anatomy, safety, and fun. If you don't want to read a book (and we know that some people don't), please keep in mind a few simple guidelines.
Take your time & relax The anal sphincter can get hurt when you're tense, so a good way to start anal play is by massaging and relaxing the anal muscles and region. Begin your exploration with your hands, covered in latex gloves. Latex and lubricant combine to provide a very slick surface; plus, with gloves, your hands are protected from contact with bacteria that could infect them if you have any cuts. Hands are more responsive than toys, which is why we recommend you start with them. Add plenty of lubricant 
When contemplating anal penetration, keep in mind that the anus and rectum don't produce lubrication, so add lots of lube to your play. Water-based lubricant is best if you're using a condom or latex or silicone toys. If you're just exploring with fingers, you can use lubricants with silicone or even Crisco. Don't use a desensitizing gel or cream; these products block the sensation of pain that tells you if you're hurting your partner or yourself.
Communicate, and stop if it hurts This is for your pleasure. Pain could mean that you're damaging tissue. Enter the anus only when the sphincter starts to relax and open up. Let the person being penetrated guide the depth and timing. You should hear (or say) "yes," "no," "I like that," "I don't like that" often. Only use toys with flared bases 
Toys without flared bases can get lost in the colon (what an embarrassing trip to the ER! or A&E in the UK). Keep in mind that the rectum curves 3-5 inches in from the opening, so consider a shorter toy or one flexible enough to bend around that curve.
Cleanliness is next to ... For anal penetration, we recommend silicone toys because they can be sterilized with boiling or bleaching. Otherwise, use a condom on your anal toy every time. Don't move toys (or anything else) from the anus to the vagina without thorough cleaning, or you could get a nasty infection. So remember, communicate through the whole experience, use lots of lubricant, and take it slowly and gently. Latex gloves and/or dams Curiosity Patience Communication Time Relaxation Answer these questions to help you choose a toy (or two): Do you want something to thrust in and out of the anus or something just to be inserted and left there? Anal plugs are designed to be inserted and left inside to produce the sensation of "filling." Many are pear-shaped, with a narrow neck before the flared base, so you can keep them in more easily. If you enjoy thrusting, consider a dildo with a flared base, and no taper before the base. Anal beads offer a variety of sensations by being inserted for the "filling" sensation, then removed just before or during orgasm to intensify the orgasm. 
How wide a toy? Anal plugs and dildos are available in a range of sizes, from about one finger's width to the size of a fist. Choose one that is the width of the number of fingers that you're comfortable having in you when aroused. Do you want something that vibrates? Many people like the extra stimulation of vibration. Some anal plugs vibrate and some vibrators can be used anally (look for a flared base). If you intend to share this toy or use it vaginally as well as anally, take extra care. Silicone anal plugs transmit vibrations very well, so a nice way to add vibration to your anal play is to hold a vibrator to the base of an anal plug.
