Sex Myth’s Busted: Anal Sex Is Only For Gay Men & Anal Sex Hurts

Although not everyone has experienced anal sex, once tried, those we talk to about it often wonder afterwards why they hadn’t tried it before.  It is not uncommon for Wet Personal Lubricants to be asked via a Direct Message on Facebook or Twitter (@WetTogether) what to expect the first time when having anal sex. This is a subject you must discuss openly with your partner, so once you the two of you agree to the when and where’s, here are a few answers to those burning questions, before you go uh….there.

1.    “Isn’t it too dirty? I mean physically dirty there?” Many people prefer to do an enema prior to having anal sex because they think it’s going to be a dirty place.  It’s actually not as dirty as you might think. The rectum and anal canal do not typically store fecal matter.  That said, you should not penetrate the vaginal area immediately following anal sex unless the toy or penis is cleaned well with mild soap and water first to avoid any vaginal infections.

2.    “Won’t having anal sex stretch out my anus too much and cause me to have “accidents” in the future?”  This is another idea that is pure myth.  Similar to the vagina, the external and internal sphincters are flexible muscles and can accommodate various sizes without the possibility of losing complete control over them.  There is a possibility of damaging or tearing the muscles so it is important that you go slowly, relax, use lots of lubricant and stop if there is any pain.

3.    “But if I give him anal, will he want to do vaginal sex any longer?”  Yes, the anal entry is tighter than the vaginal opening, however, this is not a major concern.  Most partners, we find, want to keep their options…well, open.

4.     “Will it harm me? Will it be painful? Having sex anally?” It shouldn’t be harmful nor should it be painful.  First, take it slowly.  Second, be sure to use that one key ingredient for anal sex--personal lubricant, it should within reach say on or in your nightstand.  We recommend Wet Platinum Premium Personal Lubricant or Wet Uranus Anal Lubricant.   Wet Uranus is specifically formulated to provide the lubrication that the anus cannot create on its own.  Remember to use it liberally and often.

5.    “If I am not worried about getting pregnant, do I need to use a condom?”  We suggest that you do use a condom—every time. We always advocate safe sex, as anal sex is a high risk activity for transmitting and contracting STDs.  Talk to your doctor if you have had unprotected anal sex even if you believe yourself to be in a monogamous relationship.  Also, as previously stated, it is also a good idea to use Wet Platinum Premium Personal Lubricant on the condom; this will reduce the risk of breakage due to the vigorous use in a dry area like the anus.

Remember to always have consent before trying anal sex with your partner.  If you find this information helpful, be sure to forward it to a friend. You’d be surprised how many can benefit from an open dialog about sex.  Wet Uranus Anal Lubricant is available at most local adult boutiques or online at Buywet.com, where discreet shipping is available.

20 Questions To Ask On A First Date

Most people will tell you that they hate dating. Especially first dates. You're both nervous. You're both uncertain. You're feeling unfamiliar. And it's a lot like a job interview, so you're worried about making a good impression.

What if instead of worrying about making a good impression, you put the focus on your date. You make them feel comfortable by asking questions about them. That would probably make them feel like you are interested in them. And it would be a great way to make a good first impression.

So all you would need is a few questions to get the conversation started on your first date. But remember to be engaged and listen to the answers.  Don't interrupt. 

Here are 20 Questions to break the silence.

1. Where do you work? What do you do? Have you found your dream job?

2. What's your favorite dessert?

3. What food do you hate?

4. What's your favorite movie of all time? What kind of movies do you like?  

5. What do you do in your free time? What do you do for fun? What is your passion?

6. Where is your dream travel destination? Have you ever been there?

7. Are you a cat or a dog person?

8. If you ruled the world, what would you change about it?

9. What's the best piece of advice you ever gotten from a total stranger?

10. Who do you admire most? Not famous and famous.

11. Are you an early bird or a night owl?

12. What's one thing about you that would surprise me?

13. Where do you feel the most relaxed?

14. What's your favorite way to spend a Saturday?

15. If your house was on fire, what’s the first thing you’d grab to save?

16. When you were little, what did you want to be when you grew up?

17. What was your worst job ever?

18. What’s the bravest thing you’ve ever done?

19. What’s the luckiest thing that’s ever happened to you?

And just in case things are going well and you want to go a little deeper:

20. How long ago was your last relationship? Why do you think it didn't work?

But that last one is really a question that you can explore further on your second date. 

Remember, it is the other person's first date with you too and they may be just as nervous.
Just relax, listen, and enjoy getting to know the other person on your first date. You never get a second chance to have a good first date.

Open Your Hearts For Heroes On Armed Forces Day!

We're celebrating Armed Forces Day in the United States on May 18. We think it's a big deal because the sacrifices US service members and their families make for our country can't be overstated. They rise to the occasion each and every day. It's a great day to give back to those that have given so much for our freedom and our country. Make sure wherever you are this weekend that that you greet service members like VIPs. They are and they should know it! We've got some fun and sexy ways that you can celebrate your favorite members of the armed forces. Some of our ideas you can do more than once a year!

Honor the spirit of our all-volunteer US armed services by joining in to lend a hand in your neighborhood. You can volunteer in your community literacy group and teach people to read. Help clean up a local park. Donate blood at the American Red Cross. Or donate to your local food bank or homeless shelter. Get involved will make you feel good. When you feel good, it pays off in many ways including making your love life better.

Why not make plans to visit a historic fort in your community and then contribute to the preservation of that monument. It's the perfect plan for a first date. It's also a great way to build a relationship as you return every year to celebrate the anniversary of your first date. Your first  passionate kiss…or maybe even more!

Romance is in the air! May weather is perfect for attending a military parade or vintage air show. The music is inspiring and you'll be amazed by the heart-stopping stunts the pilots perform. It's fun for the whole family, but even better if it's just you and someone you want to know better. Take a picnic lunch and after the show you can share a bottle of wine and some conversation.

Why not host a party for a soldier on leave? If you want to celebrate the US armed forces in an even more personal way, you could contact your local military branch to see if you can honor a local soldier with a party. You can offer to bring party supplies to the base or invite some soldiers to your home for a home cooked meal and celebration.

Start a new tradition by sending a care package to overseas military personnel. Personal items like massage oils, condoms and lubricants can be included. Consider other ways that you might be able to let those serving our country know that you appreciate their efforts, like making and sending thank you cards.

Hot Hollywood Gets Naked

You know you're going to see some skin when you're watching porn or late night Cinemax, but you don't always expect it at the local Cineplex. And even worse, the nudity you do see is so often jarring and out of context that it's not always the titillating moment that you were hoping to see. 

Over the past few years there have been some memorable moments at the movies when some skin was flashed that is incredibly hot. Ryan Gosling in "Crazy, Stupid, Love." and Maggie Gyllenhaal in "Secretary" are a couple that quickly come to mind, but can you remember any hotter than hot scenes from movies in 2012. 

If you saw "Magic Mike" I have a feeling that you know what's on the top of the list that Huffington Post.com  so kindly put together, but the rest of you are going to have to CLICK HERE to check out the best nude scenes at the movies in 2012. Tell us what your favorite hot movie scene of 2012 was in the comments below.
