Learning how to use anal beads can be worthwhile, even if it is somewhat unusual and requires learning. Adaptable, there are countless ways to engage them in adventurous sex.

 

Their exact provenance and age are shrouded in mystery - no one seems to know their origins. In any case, many people enjoy them as a valuable addition to their bedroom toy box.

 

Although not often used for primary stimulation, anal beads provide a delightful enhancement to "regular" sex or masturbation. They consist of 3 to 10 smooth beads strung on a string or flexible rod and are designed to stimulate the sensitive nerve endings around the anus. In particular, they enhance and repeat the intense penetration sensation (as opposed to a butt plug, which provides stimulation in the form of stretching and plumping upon entry).

 

The best anal beads are made of silicone, although glass, rubber and plastic are all commonly used (sometimes with weights to enhance sensation - more on this later). They are attached by a string or arranged on a flexible shaft. Depending on the style, the beads can be uniform or graded in size and range in shape from round to oval to conical.

 

Practical considerations

 

Safety is always paramount. Despite the many designs of anal beads, all beads should be checked from the packaging before each use. Rough edges should be filed off with an emery board. It is best to inspect the beads before each use and discard them if any defects are found.

 

A high quality water-based grease is absolutely essential. Anal-specific lubricants like this are thicker and safer for the rectum in the absence of natural lubrication. The right lubricant helps prevent damage to the delicate internal tissues and improves the quality of your experience. Some even have a numbing effect, making the first anal session easier.

 

Cleanliness is important, so when choosing anal beads, avoid nylon cords that cannot be properly sterilised. Silicone coated cords or rods designed to be hypoallergenic, smooth and easy to clean are preferred. Simply scrub with warm soapy water or sex toy cleaner to maintain hygiene. Dry and keep away from vaginal toys.

 

Each bead should have a sturdy, easy-to-grip handle to prevent it from getting 'lost'. Wide T-shaped handles and rings are sensible and safe.

 

Self love and anal beads

 

Step 1: Keep clean and relaxed

 

Take a hot bath to relax yourself completely, loosen any tense muscles and get very clean. Rinsing ensures extra cleanliness and avoids accidental clutter.

 

Step 2: Get yourself revved up

 

Start by getting really excited. Indulge in eroticism or self-deprecation, depending on your preference. By making sure everyone is turned on, you will have a better experience.

 

Step 3: Get smooth

 

Apply lubricant to your fingers and lubricate the area around your anus. Slide your hand around it a few times until it feels like it loosens naturally. Slow patience and care will be rewarded. Once relaxed, apply more oil to the inside and outside of the anus.

 

Step 4: Prepare your beads

 

Cover the beads with lubricant. Starting with the smallest, rub gently around the anus. Gently slide down and carefully insert the first bead. This should be slow, intense and enjoyable. Take your time and insert as many beads as necessary without having to spend the whole line. Listen to your body and react appropriately.

 

Step 5: Build and release

 

The extra stimulation is great when used with anal beads. Dildos, vibrators or hands are great. As you approach orgasm, slowly and gently pull the beads out. This can be done before, during or after an orgasm. Different people like different sensations, so try and see what you like. Don't pull quickly - you're not trying to start a lawnmower! Alternatively, pull the beads straight out.

 

Share the beads with your partner

 

Step 1: Details

 

The experience of sharing anal beads has a lot in common with soloing. You should both be clean, relaxed and enthusiastic. For those experimenting for the first time, you'll want to make sure your partner is very excited - in fact, if they're female, it helps to have had at least one orgasm before.

 

Step 2: Lots of lube!

 

Lots of lubrication should be part of foreplay. Give your lover lots of love while applying lube to the anus. A gentle and patient finger can be most effective in applying it from the inside out. Only when your partner is ready should you start inserting the beads.

 

Step 3: Insert the beads slowly ...... gently!

 

This is where communication becomes particularly important, both verbally and in terms of agreed unspoken signals.

 

Spread out a dark towel and generously lubricate your beads. Allow your partner time to get used to the feel of the toy outside their body before you start inserting the beads by rubbing the toy on their perineum and anus.

 

Press the first smooth bead firmly but gently into their anus. It should feel soft and yielding without any effort. At this point it is best to combine your additional arousal techniques (using fingers, tongue, vibrator, etc.) and bring them closer to orgasm.

 

Step 4: Pull

 

Once your lover has reached the edge of orgasm several times and has received as many beads as they want, it may be time to let them loose.

 

Watch your partner carefully until they begin to show the first signs of orgasm, then slowly begin to pull the beads out in a conscious and measured movement. If done correctly, this will increase the already intense sensations.

 

After this, snuggling and lots of praise are in order. Anal sex of any kind can feel very vulnerable, so it's in your best interests to make sure your partner knows how great they are.

 

The beads are for the vagina!

 

Step 1: Specialised beads

 

Anal beads are versatile and can provide pleasure beyond anal sex. Having said that, if you choose to test beads for your vagina, they must be used for vaginal purposes only. If you share the toy between holes, it may cause discomfort.

 

Step 2: Lubrication

 

Even if the vagina is self-lubricating, extra reinforcement is always a good idea. Smooth beads are particularly stimulating and can be used to rub the clitoris and labia in vitro. The round surface distributes pressure differently to a flat surface, so using anal beads for external masturbation may be surprising.

 

Step 3: Insertion

 

The beads are designed to enhance the sensation of penetration/re-penetration. In this way they are an excellent choice for vaginal insertion, providing intense stimulation in a small package. Any number of beads can be inserted to create the much sought-after feeling of satiation.

 

Once stimulated to orgasm, the beads can be pulled out to enhance the sensation of muscle contraction, or left in for stretching. Both work well. Using some hybrid variants of anal beads with bullet vibrators, using the beads inside the vagina can be very enjoyable.

 

Strong, smooth textures (such as glass) can enhance body sensations, such as those involving heat and cold. Shafted designs like these are easy to use for single player play and provide excellent anal or vaginal stimulation. The gold finish is an attractive touch that adds to the experience.

 

Play with anal beads

 

Games involving anal beads exist - some are more practical than others. Depending on your preference, they can be fun.

 

Game 1: Hide the necklace

 

Anal beads are adaptable ...... however this requires a set of 'vaginal only' beads.

 

Step 1: The female partner should lie comfortably on her back. Her partner performs oral sex on her, but denies her orgasm.

 

Step 2: While still stimulating the bottom partner, the top partner passes the beads through her labia and into her vagina.

 

Step 3: Once she starts to orgasm, the beads are slowly removed

 

Game 2: Grinding the edges with the beads

 

This is a game that uses discipline, control and denial.

 

Step 1: Make sure your partner is comfortable. Take your time and arouse them in any way you wish.

 

Step 2: When they are sufficiently aroused, lubricate the anal beads and slowly push in one of them. Tease them to the edge of orgasm and then allow them to cool. Repeat this with five beads, but do not let them emerge.

 

Step 3: Slowly pull the beads out as you stimulate your partner. Allow them to remain on the edge.

 

Step 4: Reinsert all five beads. Stimulate your partner to orgasm and pull the beads out as they reach orgasm.
