"If you Google 'anal sex tips,' you'll see dozens of articles with the same three recommendations: breathe, use lots of lube, and go slowly...but that's it. When you start having anal sex, you'll have about a hundred more questions on preparation, dilation, aftercare, enhancing pleasure, etc. And you won't be able to find those answers anywhere online. Unless you specifically see a gay sexual health doctor, odds are, your healthcare provider won't have answers either. Butt Seriously answers every single damn question you could have about anal play.
