Next, your doctor will perform a physical examination of your abdomen, followed by an external examination of your anal area and a digital (finger) rectal examination.

So you’ve had anal sex or given a go, but what do you like… do next? Alicia Sinclair, founder and CEO of is here to explain the main 5 things you should do after any kind of anal experience.
The penetrating partner should recognise that their endorphins and adrenaline are likely to be lower than their partner who just received anal sex. So “givers” should be patient and respectable of the emotional place of the “receiver”. If you were the receiver, be aware that it may be some time before you feel sore or before you know exactly what you want next. That’s ok. Just relax and bask in the after-anal sex glow.
If you’re trying to become a person who likes anal, then Dr. Britton suggests using a lot of a thick, next time you attempt it. When the penis or object is entering, be sure to breathe deeply and move slowly, she says. Dr. Britton believes that anyone can enjoy anal sex, “if their body says yes.” That basically means that you have to go in with an open mind, get rid of any fear or shame, listen to your body, and stop if you’re in real pain. “There are some people who are never going to be able to open up,” she says. And if that sounds like you, then you don’t have to have anal sex.
