Anal Beads:
What are they and How to use them?
By Ann Andriani All
Sex Guide
Anal beads are small beads on a sturdy string with a ring on one end. The beads are usually inserted into the rectum very gently, one bead at a time. It is very important to have the beads well lubricated when inserting them.
The main reason for using anal beads is for the additional stimulation of pulling them out when having an orgasm. People have reported that they have experienced a very intense orgasm when using anal beads. Its the shuddering waves of pleasure washing over your body as each bead is slowly pulled out, that intensifies the orgasm.
I know the best feature of anal beads is the removal of them during orgasm, although, they can also be fun to insert into the rectum as well. A good technique is to insert each bead with a little bit of time in between. Insert the next bead when your partner least expects it. This is my personal favorite part of using anal beads, because the stimulation of my lovers anus is consistent throughout the entire sexual encounter. Then when hes finally reaching orgasm, hes begging for me to remove them, after being teased throughout the entire love making session.
Anal beads are sold in a variety of sizes, colors and textures. If its your first experience with them, you should by the smallest ones available. When purchasing anal beads just keep in mind how stimulated you want your anus to be. Large anal beads will provide more stimulation, than smaller ones.
Safety Tips:
- When pulling out the beads, make sure your lovers
anus is still well lubricated.
- Use an anal lubricant for any type of anal play. I absolutely swear
by Doc
Johnson's Anal Lube. It's thick, it lasts a long time
and it comes in a pump jug, not a bottle, so you just pump out what
you need. Trust me, it's very helpful during anal play.
- Pull the beads out at a moderate pace. Dont just yank them
out, you can injure your lover.
- Most beads are made of plastic, so make sure they do not have any
rough edges on them. If there is a rough edge, just use a nail file
to file it down.
- Always check to make sure the string, that the beads are connected to, is strong before using them. If it seems fragile, do not insert! Just return them
Anal beads are a great addition to sex. It adds that extra stimulation to the anus and its so interactive for both partners; unlike a butt plug which just gets inserted and left there. But as all toys go, too much of one thing can get old. Like all toys, use your anal beads periodically when youre looking for that type of stimulation. That way youll keep variety in your love making.
My Favorite Anal Beads type toy is the Radiant Gems. It's not ordinary beads, per say, because it's
all one unit, which is why I really like it. I feel it gives me more
control, but the ribs or beads, start out small and gradually get larger. That
way you're not taking these huge beads in all at once and since it
has a flared base on the bottom, it's the ultimate in safe anal sex play!
