When I talk about anal play to people with penises, they are (for the most part) enthusiastic. But for people with a vulva, it\u2019s a different story.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you were born with a penis, you\u2019ve also got a prostate, and when pleasured with a toy\u2026amazing orgasms occur. No matter your sexuality, prostate stimulation feels incredible \u2013 end of story. Tips on that below.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But for all my vulva owners, you might understandably have questions. Why stimulate my anus, when I already get pleasure just fine from my clitoris and vagina?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s why.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Anal Orgasms: Anyone Can Have One<\/span><\/h2>\n

As the great equalizer of sex, anal play is becoming more popular across all genders, all sexualities. But what you may not realize is that all orgasms are essentially the same physiological occurrence: rhythmic contractions of your pelvic floor.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, how do anal orgasms differ from, say, a G-spot orgasm or a penile orgasms? The nerve pathway you take to get there.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This is the big reason to try anal play: you might be missing out on a huge pleasure opportunity. It all has to do with your nerve pathway to orgasm, and a new route for you to try.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

LELO has a new anal bead toy called the <\/span>SORAYA Beads<\/span><\/a>, and in my opinion, it\u2019s the most user-friendly way to try this \u201croute.\u201d Let\u2019s talk about your body, and why this particular nerve pathway feels so good.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If You\u2019ve Got a Vulva\u2026<\/span><\/h3>\n

The easiest nerve pathway for you to reach orgasm is your external clitoris, the little nub you can see. But your vagina and anus are both very nerve-dense. So when you do anal play, the nerve pathway you take to orgasm feels more internal, more complex, and more interesting.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Some say that anal orgasms feel hardier and more intense, probably because the nerves themselves reach deeper pleasure points inside your body. There are shared nerves from the wall of your rectum that connect to your vagina, after all, so when you stimulate your anus, you feel it in your vagina too.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

On top of that, your clitoral legs extend all the way back into your anus. When you do anal play properly, it\u2019s simply another way to stimulate your vagina and your clitoral network \u2013 but the resulting orgasm is all the more satisfying, because it feels so deep.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If You\u2019ve Got a Penis\u2026<\/span><\/h3>\n

The easiest nerve pathway for you to reach orgasm is your penis. But the prostate, a small gland that helps produce semen, can also be stimulated for orgasm, largely because it\u2019s so sensitive.<\/span><\/p>\n

Like someone with a vulva, your entire anus is very nerve-dense. So when you\u2019re being penetrated, all the nerve endings in your sphincter and rectal walls light up. But the real treat is your prostate, located about two inches inside your rectum.<\/span><\/p>\n

Among the many reasons people love prostate orgasm, consider this. Whereas a penile orgasm typically results in 4-8 pelvic contractions, prostatic massage can give you about 12. You don\u2019t have to be erect to have one, and check this out: prostate orgasms have a shorter refractory time than penile orgasms, meaning you recover faster. That means multiple orgasms!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How to Bring Your A-Game<\/span><\/h2>\n

I\u2019ll be honest: I don\u2019t think partner play is the best way to try having an anal orgasm, if you\u2019re brand new to the anal game. You need time, lube, and a beginner-friendly toy that isn\u2019t too intimidating.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>SORAYA Beads from LELO<\/span><\/a> have been going around the Internet\u2026largely because it\u2019s a super pretty toy. But there\u2019s also some technology here that makes it particularly effective at unlocking anal orgasms:<\/span><\/p>\n
