Regarding sex toys, the most pressing concern on everyone’s mind is what this device would feel like in real life. You may be wondering how anal beads, in particular, are any different from the numerous other anal sex toys available on the market. Why should you purchase anal beads instead of a prostate massager, butt plug, or dildo?
We hope to provide you with a better understanding of anal beads and how you could find them to be enjoyable to use in this post.
One part of almost any kind of sex toy usage that is often overlooked is what you might feel before you even begin. This can make up an important part of the entire experience when using anal beads.
For someone who has used them many times in the past, the main feelings might simply be anticipation or excitement. If you’re a complete beginner though, these positive feelings can be quickly crowded out by worries and fears.
Inserting Your Anal Beads
One of the two main areas—the insertion of anal beads—where the sensations might diverge greatly from those of other anal sex toys. The sphincter will be getting stretched open as you insert the balls as it usually rests both very small and very tight. However, anal beads do more than only extend and maintain the sphincter’s opening, in contrast to many other anal toys.
As there as thinner sections between each bead, the sphincter gets stretched open and then pings back to its original position before being gradually opened by the next bead. This creates a popping sensation that can feel incredibly pleasurable.
Removing Your Anal Beads
It can be as much fun to take out as it is to put in your anal beads! Rather than simply removing them in one sweeping action like you might a soft dildo, try taking them out just one bead at a time.
This lets you experience the exact same popping sensation as before but in reverse! If you become really skilled, you may time the popping that occurs when your anal beads are removed with your own orgasms to intensify the experience and produce some very strong, intense pleasurable feelings.
Wearing Your Anal Beads
Anal beads by themselves don’t provide a lot of pleasure when you’re wearing them. You can take them out and then put them back in again if you need more stimulation to maintain the positive vibes. You might be able to get an anal orgasm on its own with only this with a little practice.
Another option though, is to simply leave them in place and try out some other sexual activities. Having them in can make a woman’s vagina feel tighter or make a man’s erection much stronger. If you manage to bring yourself to climax while keeping the beads in, you’ll probably experience some much more intense than normal orgasms.
Using Temperature and Anal Beads
If you’re looking for a little extra stimulation from your anal beads, you can experiment with adding heat to the mix. You can go in either direction as both heating them up and cooling them down can produce entirely different feelings. While working up to a greater and greater temperature variance might give you some incredibly distinct experiences, try not to go too extreme with the temperature so as not to burn yourself or cause frostbite on your anus.
Anal Bead Materials
Not every set of anal beads is made equal, and making use of a different set could significantly differ from how it feels. These differences take many, many forms with varying impacts on what you feel.
For example, anal beads made of stainless steel will typically feel much colder when you insert them, giving you a nice little shock as they enter your body. They are extremely smooth, so will typically glide right in and be very easy to pull back out.
Silicone anal beads, on the other hand, will be almost exactly the opposite. They’ll usually be a fairly average temperature not too different to your own and will typically be a little rougher and create more friction while you insert them.
Each of us has our own preferences and what works for me might not work for you. The best thing to do is try them all out! You’ll quickly find the ones that you enjoy the most.
While not necessarily a material, vibrating beads can also completely change the experience. The majority of the time, you should choose a set that allows you to gradually increase the intensity of the vibrations by starting out slowly. Or you could try inserting them turning them off and activating them once they are inside your body, or even giving someone else the controls so you never know when they might activate!
There are so many different feelings you can get from different types of balls, so you really do just need to experiment for yourself.
Psychological Feelings While Using Anal Beads
I touched on some of the negative ideas you may have when using anal beads, but it’s important to go over it again because there are some things that you may initially perceive negatively. Whether you feel any of them or all of them is down to you, but one thing is for sure. They all pass with time.
Before trying anal play, one of the most common misunderstandings individuals have is that it would hurt. This could be an entirely made-up belief based on what they’ve read online or heard from friends, or it could be something they’ve carried around from their first experience with anal and the fact that it hurt before means it must hurt again. The majority of the time, using insufficient lubricant or moving too quickly is the only cause of pain during anal play. You should have no trouble as long as you take your time and get everything nice and slick.
Another misconception that we are hopefully starting to move away from is that if a man puts things in his butt, it makes him gay. This couldn’t be farther from the truth. Being gay is a sexual preference. Simply put, using anal toys is a way to appreciate your body in ways that others might not. All of us have butts, and the majority of us find it satisfying to stuff objects into them, but that’s about it. So, stop worrying about what other people think and start exploring your own body!
“The only thing using anal toys entails is enjoying your body in ways that others might not. All of us have butts, and the majority of us find it satisfying to stuff objects into them, but that’s about it. Thus, give up worrying about what other people think and start exploring with your own body.”
Indeed, each person can enjoy the use of anal toys in their own unique way. Some might prefer the potent stimulation provided by an anal dildo instead of anal beads. Small, beginner dildos offer less intimidating sizes as well, but you may go for a massive dildo if you want to go a level above just anal beads. With glass as one of the more popular materials for beads, a glass dildo or a glass wand is the perfect cross as its smooth and firm design can bring out new levels of stimulation.
There might also be some worries caused by the fact that your butt has poop in it. Whether it’s a hygiene concern, or simply something that’s a bit of a turn-off, if it’s in your mind it can stay present the entire time you’re trying to enjoy your anal beads. The best way to deal with this is simply to go for a bowel movement around an hour before you start. This makes sure your rectum is nice and empty and takes a load off you both physically and mentally.
Even the things we’ve covered might not completely describe how it’ll feel for you! You’re free to explore your own body, and if adding more toys or even BDSM equipment helps you get more out of anal beads then go for it. Anal beads are a completely personal experience, and everyone likes and dislikes different parts. The only way to know for sure what you’re going to feel is to pick up your own set and give it a try!
