Suppose you are curious about anal sex or beginning your erotic journey into the world of anal sex toys, fisting, or anal penetration of any kind. In that case, you may already be familiar with anal depth training. However, this term may confuse you if anal penetration is not your interest. Regardless of whether you are curious to explore sex via the rectum, anal training is essential in having a safe experience that will help in discovering pleasure with minimum discomfort.
While this article will primarily address depth training, the term anal training actually encompasses various types of preparation if you want to explore anal sex of any kind. And while some popular ways are fisting or inserting a dildo, one will first need to know how long and far they can receive penetration, before experiencing an act as intense as fisting.
Unlike the vagina, the anus is not as flexible because the sphincter muscle is quite tight. Therefore, it's important to become accustomed to the feeling of toys, such as a dildo or vibrator, fingers, or genitalia going inside the body, before someone can endure long and strong forms of anal depth intimacy.
Training will first help the body know new insertion forms so that it can relax under pressure and feel its best. And while more extreme acts such as fisting may be the goal, you and your lover(s) will first be required to know physical limits, as well what is arousing before fisting can be on the roster.
What exactly is Deep Anal & Anal Depth Training
Anal depth training is the act of inserting objects into the body with the purpose of stretching the anus so that one can learn to play with anal toys or learn new forms of sexual pleasure via anal penetration or even with a dildo.
To have the best experience, training your body to receive objects into the butt without extreme pain is a safe way to play and relax as you learn to enjoy deeper forms of anal play. With anal training, depth play is important because it allows you to understand how deep you can insert objects, such as a dildo, toys, fisting and penises.
One may ask how is anal stretching different from anal depth training? When speaking of anal training, it's helpful to differentiate between depth training and stretching.
Anal depth training focuses on how deep you want to play with penetration, addressing length and measuring how far you want to go in inches instead of width. Exploring depth training involves going deeper inside the colon while relaxing the sphincter as you experience pressure with a new toy, fingers, or even a fist.
Why Do People Do Anal Depth Training & Who Should Start?
The answer is simple! Those who want to explore anal play and learn how to enjoy safe, pleasurable anal penetration, such as fisting, should learn about depth training. The more you know your body and how deep you want insertion, the better sex you will have!
How to Prepare for Anal Depth Training
With anal depth training, the goal is to move past the sigmoid bend, which is located near the rectum. For some, this can be an extreme form of play so remember to go slow and to be safe; depth training should never be rushed.
The first rule is that lube is a must. Whether you are using toys or fingers to start, you should always use lube when depth training anal areas.
In most cases, a water-based lube is a good options when playing with silicone sex toys.
Silicone lube is also great because of it's long lasting consistency. If you are using a (covered) hand inside someone's body or a condom on a penis, make sure that you do not pair lube made with silicone with any kind of latex covering; otherwise it will degrade the material.
Toys can help with depth training and there are many that are designed for deep penetration. A tapered toy, like a dildo, with a long, soft tip is good to use for training but it's crucial to choose one that is made with a flared base. For example, if you decide on a dildo, make sure it's the right one to use for anal depth training.

What are the Dangers of Anal Depth Training and Safety Tips
With any deep anal exploration, it's important to be safe, especially as you learn about depth training. If you don't know what you need for a good experience, you can risk being in pain or causing damage to your sigmoid colon. You also want to choose the best toy for deep training but you need to make sure that you are using a proper item.
For example, many people think that using a dildo to prepare for anal exploration or fisting is a great technique. And while that can be partially true, the problem with using a dildo is that not every dildo toy will have a flared base. So ensure that you find a toy that has a thin tip to insert but that also has a flared foundation.
If you or your lover don't know how to incorporate a proper anal toy or choose the wrong dildo, you can risk tearing the colon walls or even losing the dildo deep inside yourself, if the toy isn't meant for anal penetration.
Another method for safe depth play is to incorporate your hand-or rather a few fingers-as opposed to a dildo. Think of this as an introduction to fisting. Your finger will offer a smaller tip for insertion, but because fingers are only so long, they can only go so far deep.
One reason that fisting can be a popular act is that a persons arm is long enough to experience the entire depth of the colon. If you are going to involve your finger instead of a dildo or a toy, make sure that you cover it with a condom and lube as you guide it far inside.
And if you are going to practice an act such as fisting, you can incorporate latex (or non-latex gloves, if someone has an allergy) for extra protection.
Techniques & Tips for Deep Anal
There are many ways to experience pleasure via anal penetration, such as fisting. Anal depth training is your guide to pleasure so that you know what you love, when it comes to anal intimacy. And it first begins with taking things slow and exploring the area so that you can build up to a deeper sensation such as fisting.
Use the Right Toys
It's been mentioned above that toys, such as anal plugs or a good anal dildo with a flared base is way to begin anal depth training. Choosing a toy that is long but thin to start with, can help you to know and be comfortable with the sensation of insertion.
Hands & Fingers
Aside from using a toy, such as a dildo, you can also explore anal depth training with the fingers on your hand, especially if your fingers are long. Using a hand can also eventually prepare you for the more intense act of fisting.
Of course, when using fingers (or even a dildo, with a flared base) to explore more vigorous anal depth, remember to always include copious amounts of lube. Also, be mindful of the type of lube you incorporate, so that you are pairing the right lubricant with the related material. See our recommended anal lubes.
Douche
Another consideration with anal depth practice is including an anal douche. It goes without saying that, when exploring the depth of the anus, the body may expel a bit of a 'mess.' An anal douche is a tool that will help you to clean out the anal cavity before you introduce any depth penetration.
Some of the best anal douches are easy to find and even the most basic sex toy shop will carry them. While some products may be more sophisticated, most anal douches are shaped with a wide body that tapers off to a thin nozzle.
Warm water is added to the inside of the anal douche with the nozzle end inserted into the rectum. Then gently squeeze the tip to release water into the anal cavity, repeating the act until the desired amount of cleanliness has been achieved.
Don't Force It, Enjoy It
With anal depth instruction, it's extremely important not to force anything or to move in a way that is painful (although a tiny amount of discomfort may be expected as you get used to the sensation).
That said, people find anal depth practice to be quite pleasurable. Because the colon can accommodate approximately a foot or more of anal depth exploration, there are plenty of delicious sensations and nerve endings that can be found. In fact, anal depth practice on its own can deliver orgasms, especially when hitting the prostate.
Conclusion
Anal depth training or learning how to deep anal is a great way to explore your experience with anal penetration. Not only will you enjoy your experience much more, you will also understand and expand on the types of sexy activities that can you with pleasure.
