However, we often see porn with women easily shoving wine bottles or other enormous objects in there \u2013 after all, a whole baby can come out of there. The thing is, <strong>vaginas are meant to stretch and then go back to normal \u2026 the bum isn\u2019t designed that way <\/strong>\u2013 at least not for the amount of expansion you\u2019re probably hoping for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the ass stretches, you can create micro-tears. And when you create micros tears and push the stretch even further, those tears expand \u2013 making it easier for infections and other bad things to happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:19px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#d70072\"><span style=\"font-size: 26px;\"><b>DOWNSIDES &amp; WARNINGS&nbsp;<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Aside from just tearing the inner skin\/membrane (which is delicate), and the possible resulting infections, you have to keep in mind several other things\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0099;\"><b>SEXUAL INFECTIONS<\/b><\/span> \u2013 If you partake in unprotected sex after pushing your anal boundaries, those tears increase the risk of infection through the roof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0099;\"><b>INCONTINENCE<\/b> <\/span>\u2013 If you stretch too much too often, there is a chance that your anus might not settle back down into its correct or original size. This could result in not being able to control bowel movements in various degrees. The solution? Enjoy anal stretching and large toy insertion, but not too often. Let your body re-adjust before diving in again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0099;\"><b>PAIN &amp; PUNCTURES<\/b> <\/span>\u2013 Aggressive stretching and\/or penetrations will result in pain and could possibly cause something large than a micro tear \u2013 it could puncture through the membrane into other parts of the body (depending on the design of the toy, etc.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0099;\"><b>IRRITATIONS &amp; RASHES<\/b><\/span> \u2013 This comes from using unsafe materials and\/or not putting condoms over your toys when you play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:19px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#d70072\"><span style=\"font-size: 26px;\"><b>U<\/b><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 26px;\"><b>SE BODY-SAFE TOYS<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Body-safe materials include<strong> silicone, glass, ABS plastic, sealed wood, and medical-grade stainless steel.<\/strong> Anything else will be porous and will hold on to bacteria no matter how hard you try to clean them. This comes at a downside \u2013 many of those materials are not flexible or squishy, which some people prefer or even need during large toy play. Silicone will give you the most flexibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is <strong>TPE\/TPR rubber.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The upside? It\u2019s softer. The downside? <strong>It\u2019s quite&nbsp;porous<\/strong>. If you REALLY are determined to play with this material, put a condom over it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anything other than that, avoid it. The rest run the risk of having unsafe ingredients that could cause rashes, allergic reactions, or worse. The best example is Jelly \u2013 stay the f@ck away from it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, make sure you wash your toys BEFORE AND AFTER each use. No exceptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:19px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#d70072\"><span style=\"font-size: 26px;\"><b>RIDICULOUS AMOUNTS OF LUBE<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, and the other huge key to a happy anal session is lube. Normally, with any anal play, you\u2019ll be using a lot of lube. But with large toys or fisting etc., you\u2019ll need MORE \u2026 like A LOT more. Tubs more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s also a bit of a conundrum\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"color: #ff0099;\"><b>Water-based<\/b><\/span> is the safest for <i>toys<\/i>, but it absorbs into the body faster \u2013 which means you\u2019ll have to take the toy out and reapply far more often (which might not be pleasurable for the receiver).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"color: #ff0099;\"><b>Silicone<\/b> <\/span>will go much further but it cannot, repeat, CANNOT be used with silicone toys.
