Anal training might sound like you’re doing obedience training for your butthole, but actually it’s a critical part of anal pleasure. Anal training involves using butt plugs to slowly get the butthole and rectum accustomed to penetration. Dilating the butthole before engaging in penetrative anal play with dildos or penises can mean a reduced chance of injury and an increased opportunity for pleasure. Most depictions of anal penetration found in mainstream porn don’t show all the preparation happening beforehand.
While you might not teach your butthole to play fetch, training your ass can lead to more anal pleasure for you and your partners. You can involve your partners in your anal training or you can enjoy it as part of your anal masturbation.
