Did you know that 67% of our Instagram community is curious about trying butt stuff, but so many of us just don't end up acting on those curiosities I'm Vanessa Marin. I'm a licensed sex therapist and I want to take the taboo away from the butt. So let's talk about the top three misconceptions about butt stuff. Misconception number one Anal is gross. I know poop comes out of your butt, but don't worry, there are a few simple steps you can take to ensure a safe and clean experience. Misconception number two is it's going to hurt. When done properly, Anal sex and anal play should not hurt in the slightest. It has to involve penetration. My recommendation for anal newbies is actually to avoid penetration. You can still feel a ton of pleasure, have a lot of fun without any penetration whatsoever.
