What Is Anal Spray?

Many people who like to engage in anal sex (or anal play of any kind, for that matter), can get a great amount of use from anal spray. Still, not many people know what an anal spray is, what it does or how it can benefit them, so it is not commonly found in the nightstand drawers of anal fetishists. Basically, there are two different types of anal sprays: anal sprays that are meant as a lubricant, and anal sprays that are meant to be used as a topical numbing agent, helping to ease the pain of anal intercourse. To start, we will address anal sprays that are meant to numb the area. Contrary to how it may sound, numbing anal sprays do not totally eliminate the pleasurable feeling associated with anal play. Instead, they just numb the outside of the sphincter, so the act of entry into the anus does not feel as uncomfortable as it otherwise would. Numbing anal sprays are great for those who are apprehensive about the pain involved with anal play, and it can help introduce the act to beginners without permanently turning them off from the act. Numbing anal sprays can be difficult to find if you do not know where to look, however. You can always find them at online retailers, but you are unlikely to see them sitting on the shelves of your local corner or drug store. Another place that you can pretty much always find anal sprays are at adult stores. The other kind of anal sprays are meant to be used as lubricants. Unlike the other kind of anal sprays, they do not have any numbing agents in them. Unlike thick jellies and creams, anal spray lubricants are light and unlikely to make as much of a mess as the other kinds of lubes on the market today. Another benefit of using anal sprays is that you can get just the right amount of lubricant in just the right place. Anal sprays usually have a water or silicone base, although it is possible to find anal sprays that have an oil base if you look hard enough. Anal sprays with an oil base tend to stain sheets, however. Additionally, these types of anal sprays are not safe for use with condoms, as it makes them more likely to tear during action. Silicone and water based anal sprays are okay to use with condoms.
