What is anal warm up?

Anal warm up refers to the process of preparing the anus for penetration, particularly during sexual activity that involves anal intercourse or sex toys. This involves starting with gentle stimulation, such as touching or massaging the area surrounding the anus, before gradually introducing more intense stimulation, such as finger penetration or using smaller sex toys. The main purpose of anal warm up is to relax the muscles of the anus, which can help reduce pain and discomfort during penetration and prevent injury. Communication, patience, and the use of plenty of lubrication are important aspects of a successful anal warm up. It is also important to note that the anus is a sensitive area of the body, and not everyone may enjoy or be comfortable with anal play.
